I am so let down.
Really want the skins for Reaper, Pharah, Sombra and Winston. I also need that highlight intro for Widowmaker. Speaking of Widow, is she ever going to get a seasonal skin that's actually...good?

Opened my first loot box and had the Yeti Winston skin! Super pleased. Really want Sombra, Zen, Mei, and a few others...or admittedly most of them. :D

I would trade you my candy cane Sombra skin for that Yeti one in a heartbeat. So far I have the Sombra and Lucia ones, but the Winston and Zenyatta skins are what I really want. Like I told Nick, to just want to be able to say I'm throwing my golden balls at people as Nutcracker Zenyatta haha.
Has Widowmaker even gotten a seasonal skin yet? Rio, Halloween, this...I don't think so on the top of my head. But you have to admit, that mistletoe highlight intro she got is fucking gold, Im going to buy that if I can't get it to drop.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but Sombra is deadly on offense now. For the first cap on Payload matches she can be a real force when pushing for the point. Been playing against a bunch of really good Symmettras as of late...it's tough sometimes repelling her pushes (lol innuendooos)
Side note: last match last night I destroyed 2 teleporters in a match with a third deployed but couldn't get to it before the match ended. So close to that achievement *sobs*

I agree with this. Her fire rate for her secondary takes way too long to charge up. If they sped up the process a bit, I believe that would greatly compensate for a primary nerf; a good middle ground I believe.

Fun fact of the day: in the newest Overwatch comic we learn that Tracer is actually gay and has a lovely girlfriend named Emily! (: Here's a link to the comic if anyone wants to check it out!

Am I the only one who finds this sort of thing weird in the context of a game with absolutely 0 storyline or character development? Like, I love the character casting in Overwatch and think that their personalities make them really entertaining to play, but I just don't see how this is relevant or necessary.
It's not that I have a problem with it - I just don't get why they've done it.

It builds upon the background and lore of characters. Destiny did the same thing with a concept called grimoire cards outside of their base game which could be viewable online. It's, in essence, to build emotional connections with the characters to an extent, and is most likely why there is so much fan art content out there as a result.
Hmmm tank meta. I have obviously not seen this before in another game. **Sarcastic Wink wink and coughing**
4 Tanks have been pretty common lately i feel ever since the nerf to Ulti bar generation. I mean, picking Roadhogg isn't as risky as it was once. Remember the days when an enemy Roadhogg was a source of Ult charge?
Also, nerfs to Lucio and Ana may have helped with this Tank Meta that the game is at right now. I mean Lucio heals for less, Ana's roids do not give movement speed anymore, I dunno. With Lucio healing for less, DEEPZERS like Soldier, Cowboy, and WeebJi are at bigger risk than they were. I've been running into 3 to 4 tank comps myself and its either not fun, or pretty fun if we have the 4 tanks. At least I get to play Soldier when 4 people in my team do voluntarily play the tanks.
Also, yeah even with Ana being slightly nerfed, she's still a great subhealer. More people have been playing Mercy too since her substantial buffs and of course this OMGBlizzopls Tank meta.
Also, Symmettra... Rito pls. Nerf? Nah. I usually don't call for nerfs to anyone who has been recently reworked. Gitguud sunny jack and jill they say..
And since we're getting Doomfist as our next hero, we have ANOTHER TANK to play as in the future! Which i don't mind. Rumors buzzing around that Terry Crews may be the voice actor for Doomfist and with that, Doomfist would be the first REAL AMERICAN African American hero for the game, if they decide that Doomfist would be a such ethnicity. Oh and yes I'm being politically correct with the terminology. I don't want to offend anyone.
EDIT:
Chat I'm going to ask something. Since overwatch is definitely one of those "Try Hard or Die Hard" life over death vidya games, I wanna ask if some of you are watching some Overwatch youtubers as a source of reference in improving other than the basic "play every single day" jig. I've been watching nothing but Seagull for the past few days given that he's an actual professional player (DPS main) but he's actually decent with other heroes as well (He has a pretty sick Hanzo) and when he off-roles, he's still pretty damn good with it.

Got Christmas Roadhog (twice) in my five free boxes. That was pretty much the only relevant thing. I might crate grind a bit later because I want Jingle Tracer and Yeti Winston, and also Pharah. Won't be too upset if I don't get Pharah, but I need those two legendaries.

5 free boxes netted me Tracer's and Pharah's. :) So happy. Only need Sombra and Zen to complete the ones I need. Got Yetinston on my first free box when the event started, but really need that Zen skin haha.

Alsoooo I added a new poll! Please answer it! I wanna get some events going for this game for us, so let's try to see how many of us own it for which system, etc!

Yeah, mine were also a bit disappointing as well. The only good thing I got out of the five boxes was a Victory pose for 76. I've gotten duplicates after duplicates. I mean, the 5 free boxes were nice, but I haven't gotten any good luck from them.

Maybe this is just me, but has anyone else been getting absolutely demolished as of late? I play solo for the most part, but for the past two games I've has stretches of losing 9/10 games with me finishing with silver/gold in eliminations in almost all of them. It's getting so frustrating to the point where I've actually had to take a break recently from the game /:

That's pretty much how my usual solo q experience goes. I go on massive win streaks when I group up with at least one other person and we have a bit of communication going on.
I'm debating on dropping a bit of cash on loot boxes because I really want the skins I don't have, but I haven't had much time to grind for crates lately.

I'd wait till the very last day in order to buy loot boxes. Knowing RNG, you'll probably get every damn skin that you've been trying to get after you use up the loot boxes you buy. In the meantime, you should just do the custom playlists; each three wins you get a loot box, so at least you don't have to grind as much (plus you level up as well, but you probably already know that lol.)
