That feel when you get gold with 2 kills as tank on offense.

New Patch downloaded. Very minor changes, unlike what I read of the previous one

It's hilarious how blizzard games are so underdeveloped in terms of social or QoL options (ever since b.net 2.0).

*Voice chat doesn't work for 30% of all players, besides you have to manually enter it
*There's no 'mute all' button
*There's no replay system
*There's no proper system in place to deal with cunts, be it a simple votekick option or something similar to 'overwatch' (cs:go feature, that allows you to go through a bunch of replays with people reported for cheating/griefing, if said replay gets enough 'guilty' verdicts, the person gets bant)
*Teams with leavers get fucked over for no apparent reason (reduce the point loss by 70%, if the leaver is in a party, punish the whole party to avoid gaming the system)
*People that were auto-kicked for afk (timer is set pretty low, around a minute or so) can't rejoin the game, which produces even more leavers
*You can 'prefer' players (which only means that said person might be in your games more often, not necessarily on your team tho), but you can't prevent MM from pairing you up with shit players..
*No solo queue

And there's a dipshit somewhere in their halls that is actually responsible for this, I wish I could suck at my job and still get paid top dollar.

Had a game over the weekend where we had a leaver after the first round and we still nearly won with only 5 people. Losing points after all that felt like a swift kick to the groin.

-earliest possible Symmetra changes coming mid november.

-one new character is coming very soon. He deliberately used "they" instead of "he/she"

-multiple prototype characters are being worked on. Team really likes one of them and may see a release in early 2017

-a new map is nearing completion, no details

-multiple prototype maps being worked on

-new game modes are being played around with. No details, just wanted to let us know the ideas are going around

Codex 2016 - The Age of Grimoire Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Finally got around to playing this. Doubt I have anything original to say. After playing 1000+ hours of TF2 and only about 20 hours of Overwatch...
* Not quite crazy about the 6 v 6 or whatever for most maps. I kinda need 10+ v 10+ or more
* Seems to take a little long to get in a match, and when I do, the teams are rarely balanced
* Lot of classes seem like TF2 classes with updated graphics. Not a bad thing, but the dyke replacing heavy is a little much. Miss the pyro and the spy. Two of my favorite classes.
* Liked playing engineer in TF2, but the engie in Overwatch is a little dull. Needs a little more dimension.
* Like Bastion, the rocket gal, and some of the other classes. The monkey looks cool, but nobody ever plays him.

Overall, it's not bad, but I guess I'm not crazy about the shared kills and some of the other things. So far, I kinda feel the game is missing something. Just doesn't quite engage me. It's not purple painted Pillars of Hats, or vanity items, its just that something about the game lacks the back-and-forth aspect of maps in other games. Because there are fewer characters and more to choose from, it seems to miss something. Can't put my finger on it.

Apparently Sombra and the Halloween brawl were leaked.

Wasn't this character shown somewhere before? In one of those supposed leaks? Looks weirdly familiar.

She looks a lot (suspiciously even) like Laura from Street Fighter 5

Halloween update is up with a trailer.



My crew is MIA so I need people to play with. My battle.net tag is Amn#1468 and I mainly play Luico/Reinhardt/Soldier.

I'm surprised Valve doesn't sue them for trademark infringement, so much of that is ripped straight out of TF2.

Valve invented point defense game modes.

Finally got all the achievements, fucking Roadhog cockblocking my high noon twice in a row, I was sure we lost that one.
