    Reinhardt isn't DPS but you can't play him too passively either.

    I know sometimes, depending on our team composition I have to play him pretty aggressively.

    Well yeah you shouldn't play him passively, but even at his most aggressive I wouldn't say he's DPS.

    Basically if someone who isn't reaper or torb is advancing to try and get behind your shield, remind them what that big hammer does.

    I love it when someone just walks in a straight line towards me as Reinhardt, especially if it's down a narrow pathway.

    Like, you know what is going to happen right?

    Good games tonight

    but still running into strange assertions about characters. Apparently Reinhardt is dps according to some.

    They're either terrible Reinhardts or they get Ana-boosted a lot, cuz the only tank who actually plays like a DPS is Roadhog.

    Zarya plays very well as a DPS, that's why they're testing a nerf to her charge gain gain rate on PTR.

    So the only Halloween Skin I REAAAAALYY wanted was Junkenstein. Guess which one is about the only one I didn't get. PBBBTHHHH>

    Oh well I do like my Smexy Vampirific Sym.

    Only legendary skin I'm missing is Roadhog and I'm not sure if I want to buy it. Trying to surmise if we'll get the same items next Halloween. Seems unlikely. Seems like they would make new skins for the characters that didn't get one. I dunno.

    Dear god I hope that previous events items are available for the next year.

    I suppose it'll be down to how much people get angry for the first event that doesn't do it.

    I got all the halloween skins except Reinhardt, Roadhog and Reaper.

    I wouldn't mind Reinhardt but I don't really care about the other two. Reaper's is good but I never play Reaper so

    I don't have Roadhog or Junkrat's skins but I got everything else

    I don't even really like the Roadhog one all that much, but I would really like Junkenstein to pop out at some point

    No. It's always been 1/5 of the buy price.

    Halloween items do not give extra currency if you get a duplicate.

    Comments section points out that an actual lore-based blog post on Friday has preceded the releases of McCree, Junkrat/Roadhog, and Ana on the following Tuesday. That'll be Nov. 1st.

    I'm just sick of this game I think. On Xbox one and every game is a loss, every single one. Now in competitive mode Im losing to teams with widowmakers on them, widowmakers on console. It's just getting tiring. 10 losses for every win, I just feel helpless and there's no way to explain or understand why I'm losing every time

    Haha lost to a team that only had 5 player!

    I'm always getting gold in everything too, so it just feels hopeless, I can't do any more

    Don't feel bad taking a break, but don't write the game off either. I thought I was more or less done with the game but after three or four weeks I came back and am having fun again.

    I seem to do this every month or so. I have a couple of bad nights in a row (or one particularly bad one) and take a break from the game for a week or two. No shame in it.

    Ok, the map is Gibraltar. It's defense and I'm Reinhardt. In the beginning of the round I use earthshatter and get most of their team so I charge their Zarya and go for the pin kill. I guess I missed their Junkrat because while I did get the pin kill, I did so by hitting one of the overhead walkways and there was a good 2 seconds where I was like "...how'd I get up here?" Then at the end of the round and I earthshatter again and I get their Zarya again and against all odds I get the pin kill while airborne. Again.

    Also got 4 other kills off the 2nd charge somehow. It was the PotG.

    Here's a random theory about Reaper and the ongoing Overwatch backstory:

    The Omnics were built by the Omnica Corporation, which created the omnic factories called Omniums worldwide. Omnica Corporation was fraught with accusations of corruption and was eventually dismantled.
    Later, the omniums reactivated themselves and created Omnics that were programmed to kill all humans.
    In response, the Overwatch organization was created to fight back across the globe.
    There was a shadow division of Overwatch called Blackwatch, headed by Gabriel Reyes, which was the designated "dirty business" side of the organization.
    In the course of that dirty business, Reyes found evidence linking indicating that the Omnic Crisis was deliberately incited by people with links to the upper echelons of Overwatch leadership. They made their own crisis to produce a global police force by which they could exert control over the entire world.
    Reyes tries to call this out. Jack Morrison will have none of it and is being fed info that suggests Reyes will turn on the organization. Overwatch is left in ruins by the resulting clash between Overwatch and Blackwatch. Morrison is eventually revived and starts calling himself Soldier 76; Angela Ziegler's attempt to resuscitate Reyes with a prototype Valkyrie Drive brings Reyes back as a shambolic wraith, and he starts calling himself Reaper.
    Everyone goes their separate ways for a while.
    Winston attempts to recall Overwatch. Reyes catches wind of the recall and assumes that whoever was behind the original creation of Overwatch is trying again. Refusing to allow that to happen, he starts hunting Overwatch agents.

    While not painting him as anywhere close to heroic, at least this leaves him with a proper motive instead of terroristing for the hell of it.
