Got the Dva legendary in my 5th box last night. RNG blessed me.
This is a CTF for frills.
Being able to capture the flag and teleport directly back on top of your capture point as Sombra is a stupid system, in some CTF Games you can't use some abilities and it will just drop the flag.
To be fair, for a week(?) long event I can't see them spending so much time figuring out what ability should drop the flag or not. Though really, more thought could've gone in to it.
This isn't blizzards first CTF mode in a game though..so they should know better
In the CTF developer video Kaplan said he said it was deliberate. In play testing, they noticed that with how the team fights play out, getting the flag back was trivial anyway and locking out abilities when carrying the flag made it a chore. In my experience that's mostly true. If someone actually gets the flag it's because the other team was wiped out and solo captures aren't really a thing since even a turret pinging you will reset the timer. Locking out abilities might help with the steamroll situations by forcing a 5v6 situation to last longer as the flag carrier takes longer to actually cap but it's a minor issue since steamrolls usually happen when people trickle back instead of grouping up.
I guess maybe other people knew but now I learned what Ana's costume was based on from the writer.

People also swear D. Va loses to Mercy 1v1, who do we trust?

I got four boxes yesterday, but the best thing about them was 500 Gold and a purple Sombra skin. I'm glad everything I want (all of Mercy's stuff) is cheap, so I can buy it in case I don't get it.
I like CTF, although it may need a little reworking around some heroes. Torbjorn's Turret is easy to destroy, as well as Bastion, but Symmetra kills way too quickly and her turrets slowing down are troublesome, and Junkrat's mine and trap are a little too perfect for this mode. Still, perfectly winnable even when playing against them or a team that's protecting their flag, haven't had a game in which it was impossible to win, not even against turtling teams after their first score.

I got Mei's skin and that's it. Not even the one I wanted.

Played a bunch of CTF to get my 3 boxes and I gotta say I really like it, it's a blast with friends and really gives off some good TF2 vibes. Sure it's kinda broken but it's really fun and it's not ranked so it doesn't matter. I hope this gets fleshed out a bit and becomes a permanent arcade mode.
Symmetra is damn good on CTF. Placing turrets surrounding the flag, lock on beam of death from her gun, throwing shield to shield your teammates carrying the flag. And using shield generator to defend the flag and give your teammates extra health when carry the flag.
Every game I see there is a Sym, Winston and D.va,

CTF should be renamed to "Draw"

You could call me a Dva main (I played her tons before they buffed her). Although I play a lot of characters. Dva and Symmetra have been my top 2 since launch.
She's too weak now. I've given up on her in competitive.
They should have nerfed armor but left damage alone for a bit. Not both.
I mean, she was too weak before, so they buffed her 3 things at once (field, move speed while shooting, health).
Then she was too strong so they double-nerfed her.
How about one change at a time, Blizzard?
I was getting mauled by Tracer and Symmetra 1v1 today. The damage nerf hurts almost as much as the armor nerf. And as a longtime Symmetra main also, that shouldn't happen unless their turn speed is low or they are not paying attention.
Giving up for now, gonna play my other mains more (Zarya, Mercy, Pharah, Reaper).
I'd rather have launch version Dva back I think. The damage nerf at midrange is awful.

yeah they need to increase the cooldown on his hook by a couple seconds.

I like CTF, I also captured the flag with Rein once. And the full distance too. Feels like it should be an achievement.
I got a legendary skin and it's...
one of Rein's old ones.
I got a bunch of Legendary coins which is trash considering how expensive these Event skins are.

I got one too!
It's anas Horus skin
At this point I'd rather take the coin than old legs.

Got the dva skin in my free lootbox.
I'd trade it for the zen or winston skins since I actually play those characters.

Most of my loot boxes have just been PLAYER ICONS!
Hey guys, do you like PLAYING ICONS? Here you go!
>_<
I've got enough just to buy the 2 skins I want, but would prefer not to use the whole 'bank' on them. I'd play just to earn some but idk, just not feeling the game atm, D.Va nerf and the CTF event being annoying has me down.
Maybe I should just go back to comp.

Player Icons are better than sprays, you can't even buy them with coins. I kept getting sprays nonstop.

Well I'm not talking about locking, more dropping the flag if you try to.
Either way, it's just a fun(not fun) gimmick event.

Broke down and bought another 5 boxes, got every mercy new year item except the voiceline.
They're random rewards from loot boxes you get from leveling up. You can also be desperate and impatient, or unlucky, like me and purchase lootboxes at around $1 a box starting at 2 boxes.

Good lord I LOVE Roadhog's new hook. Characters like Reaper and Ana that used to be a few feet away from me after getting hooked now come right up in my face. This makes one hit kills for characters with 250 health way more consistent.

I've been losing...every single game....especially CTF....I just want the last free loot box of the week Blizzard....
Thank God. She pushed off like, almost half the roster because it couldn't really be punished (unless the D.va in question was garbo).
