[Gaming] Overwatch (#boycottblizz)

Biggest beef I have is with the Lúcio nerf. It was already hard to keep your team alive unless they were getting the payload heal boost on top of his healing. They already nerfed his Amp It Up one other time, if they keep doing this, what will be the difference?

I like the soldier buff, obviously, and I actually am also a fan of the idea of slowing down the ultimate builds across the board (though IMO some need to be slowed down more than otHAMMER DOWN FREEZE DON'T MOVE). I enjoy the jockeying and poking and regular combat more than it being a metacontest of who can build up and coordinate multiple Q presses first.
 
Who in blazes is this Kephrii fellow?
The stuff he does just doesn't look humanly possible.

That last one is best.
Also because of that video TIL Widow's scoped shots take up 3 ammo. I never noticed that the three levels of charge = 3 ammo. Huh.

Hey, there's a reason I don't try to invite myself to your competitive games any more.
And that reason is @GasBandit because I'm something like 350CR behind you guys now.

Doubtful, my ranking is abysmal. Gas is actually the only one whose rating hasn't gone completely into the proverbial gutter.

I accepted being invited to a group, who then went to make a custom match against easy bots. Left the group before the match began.

Why would I want to fight bots? Makes no sense.

Guaranteed win, +20% exp?
Granted, on Medium difficulty you only get about half the exp of QP.

Erego, makes no sense. I don't want a guaranteed win either; I wouldn't bother playing then.

Starting to regret expanding my PS4 friend list beyond Terrik, and he doesn't even play on his PS4 anymore. And yes, that includes my wife, because while on the PS4 today she decided to message me in the middle of a song on Persona 4: Dancing All Night while I was getting a perfect score. So obviously she's excommunicated.

I'll jump in if I want to try a new character (I'm trying to learn Reinhardt), or if I'm just a few ticks away from my next loot box...

Aigh! Too much of a good thing! Ok, now I'm thinking @GasBandit might be onto something. Duplicate legendary skins give 200 currency, because 200 currency is 1/5 the normal amount it costs to buy a legendary skin (1000c) BUT these are the Hallowe'en ones! I should at least be getting 600! Grrr...

And yet, still missing the one ...

I just know I'm going to be putting down every coin I have for Junkenstein skin in a week and a day.
 
My skill rating trend looks like a face.

Pharah and Mercy buffs on PTR
I didn't realize the splash damage from Pharah fell off so quickly. Happy that's going up.
On the other hand, I'm going to miss the knockback. Wonder if they'll reduce E cooldown to compensate?
Also I never noticed the venom mine hitting the Widow who laid it.

IMO, the regular rocket knockback wasn't ever enough to do knockback related stuff like push people over cliffs, but it was often enough to foul your aim for followup rockets.
