5 boxes in and I get the Dva skin. Shame I'll never use her but her current state is for the best interest of the game.

CTF is pretty bad imo. Very difficult to queue because servers are getting destroyed and the control centre is snowball central. If you cap once, that's it, you've won. Plus teams are too scared to lose so it's ending up as a draw a lot.

The best team is pretty obvious as well. Most mobile tanks/DPS and a Symmetra+Torb to protect your flag.

I got a legendary Mei skin in one of my boxes but it was Rescue Mei not a festive one... :mad:


Also capture the flag sucks, always ends in a draw because someone always has a torb and symmetra.

I won 9/11 CTF matches I played. It was EZ. Pick Torb, set up turret, run around collecting scrap, help push the objective while my turret defended the point usually with the help of a Sym's turrets.

Dumb and EZ. Mode needed more thought put into it than it got I think.

I've been in about a dozen CTF matches now, only have a single win so far. Let me get that 3-0 achievement and never have me play this again. I'm joining a lot of games that are less than a minute away from finishing now too.

Mystery Heroes queue is taking nearly 5 mins on PC.

People stop playing shitty CTF and get to the other Arcade modes!

You guys have like three weeks to get a few CTF wins, but you're banging your collective heads against the wall right now.

Take a break.

Fun playing roadhawg today with enemies who think d.va is still a dive tank.

Alt-fire, hook, fire, melee, alt-fire again when she tries to jet away, de-meched.

I think they need to change it so her shield blocks hook too. Even when they try to play a more traditional tank role you just pull them right out of formation.

There is a bug where the music fails to play sometimes on PS4. I've noticed it in 2 places; the start of a round on KotH, and the music that signals that time is about to run out on escort.

Just lost a game on Eichenwalde because we failed to get on the cart even though we easily could have because none of us realised that time was about to run out without the presence of the dramatic music. We had a player rage quit because of that so we had no chance on defence even though I suspect we would have held.

Fuck leavers, please make the penalty way stricter blizzard. Lost my 7 game winstreak bonus because of that guy.

GOT DVAS SKIN :D

It was my most wanted so I'm happy :)

Also... DVa needs to run away and heal really regularly but it's not as bad as I was expecting. Still getting away with gold damage, elims, objective etc. And she can still 1v1 snipers.

I think the "capturing point" sound is messed up when both teams are on point.

There were way more ticks going off than normal, like it was playing sounds for both teams capturing.

That might explain what happened to me on the weekend. Super communicative team and we lost because overtime ran out. Not one person heard it and we were all stunned. Shame on us for not seeing it but still....the audio is so important.

For those hyping up Hook 2.0, can you go into more detail? I'm curious to know what's different, exactly.

Line of sight check is done at Roadhog, not the hook.

◾Chain Hook

◾Targets are now pulled directly in front of Roadhog (rather than straight to him), except in cases where Roadhog drastically rotates

◾Hooked targets are now released if they leave Roadhog’s line of sight before being pulled

◾Line of sight checks (which determines if targets are hit by the hook) are now done from Roadhog’s position, rather than the hook’s position

So, less BS hooks but more reliable picks off landed hooks as Ana, et. al won't be put to some weird side of you.

Also no Hook -> turn to make the enemy face your team either. You have to maintain LOS with them for a decent amount of the hook.

WTF THE ENTIRE ENEMY TEAM LEFT AND I GOT 2 SR BLIZZAAAARD 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Click to expand...

Imagine playing a game to the death with 2 rounds each and you end up with 2 SR. I genuinely think it's a bug of some sort. I was so annoyed. I put so much effort for 2 SR lol.

I got the worst luck. Out of 6 crates, the only epics I got were Symmetra's goddess alt and Roadhog's dumpling POTG pose. The rest were duplicate sprays and voice clips.

I know what the patch notes say, but I'm not seeing how it's an upgrade (vs. sidegrade).

Just got Hog's new highlight intro. Nice. I always thought his other options were a bit too self-serious for him (and I didn't like "Little Piggy").

Three of your "counters" die 100% of the time now when you hook them because they are pulled in closer

Previous hook was a death sentence anyway even if you didn't get one shot because any competent team knows to focus down the hooked target anyway, so I don't see it as that big a change.

It'll take awhile for people to learn but being able to play peekaboo with hook should be a nerf.
