Inaccurate - Zen's is boss as hell.

It's cool because of the ball control but it doesn't actually look like a "dance", at least from the part they showed. Just looks like some tai chi exercise.

I'm fine anyway since he already has among the best sitting and laughing emotes.

I think Reinhardt is boring as heck to play but probably the character I feel like I should learn to play the most. It's like the one hero that a team I'm on is sometimes lacking that I can never switch to because of inexperience. Don't mind switching off my usual support to go any other Tank or Defense but sometimes a Rein is way more needed than a Zarya or D.Va and I can't adequately switch.

Rein is fun as hell to play and im not talking about just charging shit all the time. I mean that's great too.

But the sheer fear that healers and at times dps display when the hammer is swung. I get a high each time.

The only thing bout playing rein almost all the time is when it gets to a point where you always have to be the one to do it or even worse if the dude playing rein instead of you is just trash and you can't do anything about it and watch him feed as if it was the gold corral. The latter is worse imo.



edit: oh yea with D2 being on blizz net this has to open up doors to cross promo right? I can deal with Destiny more then HOTS
 
New voice lines are great. I feel like the Reinhardt one is referencing Tyrodin's videos. Unless there's someone else who yells Reinhardt over and over again like a crazy person.

As far as I know, he's the only one. Man, he's going to be insufferable (and get loudly drunk) when he finds out. Couldn't happen to a funnier Rein.

Now if they gave Junkrat's "You hook 'em, I'll cook 'em." dialogue to Symmetra, the Aussie Meme Team would really go nuts.

THANKS FOR PLAYING!

Thank you for joining us for Season 4 of Competitive Play! Whether you placed in the Top 500 or just completed your placement matches, we're glad you're a part of our community and hope to see you in Season 5.
 
I think what kinda makes those skins look a little odd is that its not using the games lighting engine. I like them all, but Soldiers seems a bit strange, and Zaryas is really cool, especially the face.

This makes sense. The emotes looked a little odd too, like they weren't from the game.

The latter is worse imo.

My favorite part of playing Rein is the mindgames you have to get into when facing another Rein. You can instantly tell who is an actual Reinhardt main and who got forced into using him when you face off in a lot of occasions.

Just yesterday I i stood directly infront of a Rein and did a couple of bait swings, he instantly charged and I sidestepped and swung as he passed me, then instantly pinned him to the same wall he hit. I felt like a fucking champ.

Also as a Zarya main, what in the actual fuck is that fucking Zarya skin. Are we cursed to forever have shitty skins? I feel like her Olympic games skin is her only decent one outside of her default recolors

Online Overwatch discussion, 2017 - 2021 and beyond -

- new skins released
- 50% of posts "lmao hideous"
- 50% of posts "damn those own HYPED PogChamp"

repeat quarterly.
 

These are just too good.

That Zarya hnnnnng

Don't know wtf happened to S76 legs but whatever. I really hope the Pharah rocket launcher looks good because that skin is awesome. I love the look of the mecha skins on her but I really dislike the weapons so I hope that's not the case here.

lmao the tiny head

Rein's so good, especially when you can be agressive.
 
I'd rock any of those skins tbh. Especially the Soldier.

Good games ND and Owzers. Felt like all of them were toss ups so I'll take the 5-2 record. Keep setting those season highs. Gotta hit Masters before the season ends.
 
Surprised to see a lot of people not liking that Zarya skin. To me it's easily the best, she looks like a cyborg, anime af. I approve.

Wish I could've played with you guys, that MD guy took my spot :(

Those games were very enjoyable to me.

Edit: too late :p

Hey, y'all, bronze player here who is slowly climbing up towards Silver.

Looking at my player stats for Competitive, it looks like my "mains" are mostly memes.

I have positive win rates with Mei in both QP and Comp, and have spent the most time playing as her. My win rates with Symmetra are similarly high.

My win rate with Mercy is slowly climbing and is up to 44% in Comp and 49% in QP. D. Va, another character I feel comfortable with has a highish WR in QP, but a dismal one in Comp.

Winston is fun, but I don't really have enough time on him to justify playing him in Comp. Also, Bastion is EVERYWHERE in Bronze and it makes it really hard to play him, especially when you dive and your team doesn't follow up. Sombra is another character I like and have a positive record with her in QP, but a dismal one in Comp.

So, what do you do when you're still in bronze and your "mains" are mostly memes? I've like / am most comfortable with

1) Mei
2) D. Va
3) Mercy
4) Sombra
5) Sym

I'm "OK" with Zen, but don't really have good enough aim.
I like Winston and Orisa, but the former keeps dying to Bastion and Orisa's gun is hard to aim (though strong in its present form).

Should I just keep playing that list in Comp and try to improve at all of them--switching to match the needs of the team?

What do you guys do when no one on the other team is dying? Had a couple of games last night in which I switched off of tank or healer to play dps because we either only had flankers who died immediately before teamfights and I wasn't able to do anything about it, or because we just weren't finishing anyone off. Even going Roadhog or Tracer and getting 1-2 picks doesn't get the job done sometimes.

I say Pharah when I mean Tracer sometimes too.

Tracer has good skins too but Pharah's design lets her get more creative skin which have ended up looking better than a lot of other characters.

Call me when Tracer gets a mecha skin!

Zarya skin is the best of those but I'm skeptical on the blue hair. Need to get a Rein/Mercy skin though. I'm going to hold res until Mercy gets another legendary.
