Funko dva looks like the alien from Independence Day.

 

[caesar]

Hanzo and Widow can do it faster and free...er.

There was a guy who used some script to circumvent the idle detection kicker in the Mei brawl during the holiday update. He was doing it from the first day, I saw him on the first day, I reported him on the first day. I saw him throughout the entire event and not once did he actually play, and so many people in matches were commenting on it and reporting as well. He was doing it to the very end with no issue. I don't know if any action was ever taken on them, but they really need to do better.

Its a lot harder to play hanzo and widow, they dont pull tanks out of position. They dont have 600hp and heal for 300.

Incomparable.

 

[RecRoulette]

yesssssss I"m all over these

The whole Pop inside a Pop thing was new with Titanfall, so it looks like they're still experimenting with it.

Me and my sister joked about having a Meka pop with just a sticker of D.va in it, so I guess this is better than expected.

 

[DevilDog]

Basically, if one player gets a lot of reports, they actually do something about it.

So basically nothing.

Hope

 

[hypernima]

Me and my friend literally carried a team on Lijiang as Sym/Ana.
I had 49 Elims lol.

They're incomparable as a whole definitely, but if the subject is about pickin' squishies then that's what they do, and can do a whole lot better!

 

[Ghost is Bad]

eh roadhog is safer and has more overall utility with his ult compared to the other 2.

 

[LucidMomentum]

So uh:

This physically hurt me.

Spoiler

We won 3-2 though.

 

[Blu(e)]

One win from leveling up and my loot box from arcade. I'm ready.

Wow. They really want Symm to be a TRUE monster... this is hilarious. xD

Typical

i never have a Bastion on my team w/ tracking that good. They're always dead, and they never switch off. *siiiiigh*

 

[veloxStrix]

I'm playing with some of my lower ranked friends on my alt account and going through Diamond is still the roughest rank. I think most people see it as "the highest rank" in a lot of ways, so they just dick around instead of actually trying to play a real game. At least the lower ranks have mostly people who are actually playing the game.

Of course, there are still some really good games you get in Diamond where everyone is working together and the enemy team is throwing themselves at you pretty hard. Just that there are also a ton of games where some dude goes Junkrat on Offense and then leaves voice chat.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Amazing night NDF. 5-0 against all of the odds. Including the most unlikely win in my entire Overwatch career.

Great games. My Lucio is getting good.

That last one was unbelievable. This was the play that I told you about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg_0B63Qa-8

A miracle basically. I don't want to push my luck, glad we stopped lol

Holy shit. I had no clue, I was away from that play. Insane that just swinging away and killing you the Rein would have won the game for his team.

Yeah. I hesitated in using my ult immediately after soldier because I was going to save it for Mei, but when the Rein caught me in his ult I thought that everything was over. That was really lucky.

 

[Troubled Bat]

When should we expect the update to go up? I'm ready for the grind!

 

[Xux]

Alright, two arcade wins out of the way.

I wish the game highlighted my sick streak with Zarya to get the first point in Hanamura instead of the double during the messy capture of the second. Oh well; такова жизнь.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I'm not ready for this event. There's too many great legendaries, and I only have 3k coins...

RNG gods, I beseech thee. giev pls

 

[Troubled Bat]

I just hope I get Roadhog's skin! D:

 

[Rickenslacker]

I hope we get Chinese Zodiac player icons for the occasion. I want a goat icon. Or a horse without McCree on it.

Same here. I want all the legendaries. I'm going to be grinding pretty hard during this event.

so you guys play well without me? I see how it is.

 

[Hellwarden]

I have a real bad habit of holding onto my ult, waiting for the "right moment" and getting killed for it.

It's really bad when you're Mercy, and you feel like it's a waste to rez one guy...

 

[Nuno Pinto]

so you guys play well without me? I see how it is.

lol

Luck was on our side today, and also some good teammates that were actually on mic. But yesterday the games were similar to the ones we usually have when we play together, where the weirdest shit happens D:

 

[Atuin]

When will the Year of the Rooster event start? I know it's today, but how many hours until the usual update time?

 

[Ghost is Bad]

prob like 9 or 10 ish pst

 

[Azoor]

Still no Funko Pop version of Mercy

 

[Lyng]

T

3v3 and 1v1 also exist. They have fast matches and are a welcome change of pace from comp and QP in my opinion.
Edit: And it's not that any of those modes suck per se. Trying to rush wins as fast as possible just to be done with it would lead to frustration in any mode.

The thing is as someone who has limited time to play, it feels rough having to play that many games of modes that I honestly dont enjoy. Give 3 lootboxes for the first 3 wins and let people who enjoy this mode keep playing. But dont force me into so many games

 

[Rickenslacker]

Still no Funko Pop version of Mercy

Why would you want her to suffer like that?

 

[holysan]

McCree can rise and shine again with his hardest and unfairest counter dead. Life's good.

It's a lion . Looks like a highlight. Tracer and Mercy's skin looks great!
edit: Lijiang tower looks great with all the lanterns
edit: Completely sold on the new Mei skin now. Also Bastion has a chicken LOL
edit: I would lose my fucking marbles if Widowmaker gets the skin that's in her spray.

 

[LurkerPrime]

CTF. Finally, Winston can shine!

lol really? It looks like a dragon to me but you would know more than me haha what makes this one a lion and another a dragon?

 

[holysan]

Tracer only skipped Halloween, Roadhog gets his 3rd skin in the row, Winston 2nd legendary, Mei 2nd, Zen 2nd. Meanwhile Genji sits there with his Nihon skin, which you couldn't even buy and another skin for which you needed to play a bad game to unlock. No Ana and no Hanzo either. Widow where?

Booo this

Love Hog and Monkey anyway though

Well, this may not be all the skins were getting. As far as I know, up until this trailer, we had no idea about Junkrat and Bastion skins.

 

[Forkball]

Maybe next year...

Dragon dances are done with a series of guys holding up the dragon with sticks.

Lion dances are done with 2 people under a 'skin'. One does the head actions, the other does the back. Lions are also separated by northern and southern variations.

Southern lion (the more common variant)

Northern lion

cool thank you for the explanation. I always assumed they were just different versions of dragons.

 

[holysan]

Maybe next year...

I'd emote the whole game with such skin.

 

[Cappa]

I'd emote the whole game with such skin.

I saw sprays of Genji, Hanzo, and Lucio with different skins.... will they actually get skins of the sprays?

Would be cool.

Edit : the video was taken down, weird.

Hoon's zarya is insane.

 

[Azoor]

Looking forward to see what kind of highlight intros they have for us, some like Mercy and Pharah really need new ones.

 

[Nibel]

Hanzo getting fucked again I see, lmao

Dope ass event

 

[Forkball]

Hanzo will get a tight Cupid skin for Valentine's Day.
