    I think most of those hoodies are okay looking, though the colors aren't always what I'd choose to wear. My main problem with most official merch is that they often step away from 'good design' in the name of 'hah hah I put that thing you recognize on it!'

    Like the little emblems on the front chest on most of those. Most of the hoodies would look better without them. The exceptions for me might be Lucio's and D.VA's. Lucio because the frog motif kinda fits with the whole design, and D.VA's because the whole thing is a garish mess and that's the aesthetic, so roll with it.

    After being on help chat with Amazon about being unable to enable Twitch prime on my amazon prime account for about 45 minutes

    I have stumped them

    And they are literally raising it as a ticket to the software team.

    I just want mah loot box ;_;

    Got a young genji in my golden box so I decided to play genji for the first time

    Yo with proper positioning this character feels broken

    Equal likelihood is that I was playing against people that suck

    Genji is arguably the hardest carry in the game. He's nuts good in the right hands.

    Hi.

    I have a 1-11-1 win rate in competitive with Mei, get abused by a teammate every game, yet enjoy playing Mei anyway.

    Is there a name for this? A support group?

    doing some horizon games for my boxes, it seems like an alright map? feels really cramped and cluttered (but still manages to have 300 foot high ceilings so pharah can fly without trouble)

    This was probably my favourite round of Comp to date:
    https://youtu.be/_hmLZ21Uslc

    Like, never mind using a single TP up, just dropping them when we need them is SO GOOD, plus that one at the end I dropped in a panic and it turned out to be hilarious.

    And as an aside, Part 1 of the video has us on attack:

    Also tried playing some orisa

    I like that her ult is time limited and requires line of sight that shows the enemy where it is while Syms shield gen just does whatever it wants

    I haven no idea how in gods name you can compare a 50% damage increase to a minor 75 health shield.

    Tried Reaper for the first time in a while last night; I don't get a lot of opportunity because most of the time I need to tank or heal. It feels so weird not having to stay with the group to fill one of those roles; I just wander around looking for enemies that are concentrating on the main group. Plus I'm used to playing DVa or Winston or Zen, so to actually kill someone takes a lot of firing and/or precision, whereas with Reaper I can just trot back and forth behind the firing line, "oh here's a Hanzo, POW POW, drop down, here's a Junkrat, POW..." I only have to aim in their general direction. So fun.

    Speaking of not having to aim, I hadn't realized how much the recent Junkrat changes altered how you can play him. Him and DVA are pretty much my mains, and I'd gotten into the habit of backing up a certain way when close-up duels happened. Now, since my bombs don't hurt me anymore, it's usually better for me to get right up in their grill, maybe move behind their firing sight, blast a clip of bombs at point-blank, then concussion mine us apart if they're not dead yet.

    I think Orisa's ult should function like the shield gen. Stays alive until someone destroys it.

    Genji is arguably the hardest carry in the game. He's nuts good in the right hands.

    his dps is inconsistent but he is easily the best at converting chip damage (from s76, pharah, winston) to kills

    It's a 50% damage boost to her whole team. It's designed to win a teamfight, not all the teamfights!

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    It could work in a smaller area or have only a 30 percent boost.

    I don't think it really helps win team fights though. I rarely get the feeling that it causes more people to die than would normally.

    On the other hand something like sym's ult seems ridiculously useful. They're incomparable.

    And everyone else's ults can almost always get at least one kill.

    If Bongo was permanent, it would be hugely over-powered. It would also change the ult a lot, in that instead of it being a throwaway thing, it would suddenly be the most valuable item in the game. Teams would turtle up around it like crazy, it would be the focus of every game.

    Tried out some comp ranked matches.
    Lost the first one.
    Won the second one when played with a 5 person group, they invited me to join them, I did.
    We won the third one easily.
    We were winning 2-0 on the fourth one, less than two minutes left in the final bit until we had won, and then we lose a player. End up losing the match 3-2 -_-

    How is it annoying? It can take forever to charge up, and is gone the second a competent attacker sees it.

    Uh, it should probably be behind the barrier, and covered by the rest of the team?

    Edit: Like, sure a determined attacker will get to it, but if it is immediately nuked as soon as it's set down, I feel like it was not set down in optimal fashion.

    Something I only just realized: you know Sombra's hacking glove, with the thick purple wires over her fingers and plugged in on the back of her hand? Lucio uses one of those, too, for controlling his cross-fade and Amp It Up. Seems like a standard interface in the Overwatch world.

    My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.

    I got to 2984 and then lost every single game I played back down to about 2700. Feels good.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.
