    Think I found a new pet peeve, the medal system being the old one (and still is a peeve). It irks me to no end that some people use terms incorrectly or misunderstand a strategy. For example, a random team I was on decided to go dive, so all the usual picks got made but then someone said "Wait we need a Rein."
    "Rein's not dive."
    "Yes he is."
    The game didn't go well.

    Some silly times in Lucioball.

    Some silly times in QP with the PA crew.

    Some silly boops.

    I mean, terrible Reins are dive...

    Got back into OW last week. Got the new 76 and skin, the new Mercy skin, and the Mercy skin from last year that was like the only thing i couldn't get then, so I've already accomplished basically everything i wanted.

    Been doing like 3 hours of mystery heroes with my friends every couple days and we've had some great games. Lots of close matches and come from behind victories.

    And last night my friend saved me with a Mei ice wall in the most unexpected way.

    On route 66 i was on top of the gas station as Bastion and right as I was setting up I saw the enemy Bastion already in sentry mode looking at me.

    Right as his first bullets hit me, my friend popped an ice wall inside the building directly under me which somehow teleported me down inside the building.

    That other bastion had to be confused as hell. I know i was.

    I went 1 - 9 in Lucioball placements, and placed Silver.

    I probaby should have played more than 1 regular match before going into it, but I just wanted whatever comp points I could get out of it (and the Zen spray) before ignoring it forever.

    Honestly I was surprised I got 1800 SR, what would I have had to have done to get low bronze? Somehow kill my team?

    Own goals? Lose all 10 matches against people who've managed to go line 0-50 already?

    Yeah, I went 2-8 and ended at like 2100.

    Which bummed me out because I did probably 15-20 non-comp matches before placements, won most of them, and felt pretty good about myself!

    It's pretty goofy, in a fun way.

    My last box of the night had 2 legendary items.

    500 coins and Orisa's Carbon skin.

    I fucking hate this game.

    I've pulled two legendaries this event - Grill master and coins. I guess that's kind of something.

    Also, lucioball *could* be a fun game if the ball physics and lag weren't as effective as the RNG in mystery is at determining who wins.

    It's 3v3.

    I've got 3 summer games legendaries

    from last year

    and also 3 standard legendaries

    and one current event one.

  • JayKaosJayKaos Registered User regular
    My first 3 crates this event had a legendary, 2 old summer skins and one general old one. None since.

    Same here, so far all the skins I've gotten for the event were from last year and the one legendary I've gotten was the punk Tracer skin.

    No duplicates so far though, which is pretty rad.

    My friends are trying super hard to get platinum this season before it's over, and I had no idea I was even platinum ranked until last night. I usually play different characters and roles so that's probably why.

    Luccioball appears to have accomplished the impossible: they made a mode where it's bad to group up, so that's what people do.

    Yes. Pubs grouping! Around the objective.

    ..too bad that just means they are out of position and get in each other's way >.<

    I was setting up a pass last night and our goale came from behind to steal the ball from me.

    IDK if the lag on Lucioball was always this bad but today seems especially so.

    So far I've gotten the new Widow skin, one of Tracer's skins from last year and a regular Orisa legendary. The latter I actually play, but I prefer Null Sector so eh. The most important unlock I've gotten is Zarya's "Only a game" one, that was an immediate equip.

    Hot Take: Zarya is the only Overwatch character whose original costume remains her best costume.

    I like the frosted variant, but yeah

    her goth legendaries are...fine, but pointless, and the weightlifter ones are just okay (I don't like how the purple light from her weapon interacts with them)

    her others were designed by people who don't understand what makes her design work

    with that much attention being drawn to her head, you need to be able to see her eyes

    Her Frosted one from Christmas is also good, but mostly because it's just a minor adjustment to the original

    the best zarya skin is where you play rein because you know the other tank (god willing) isn't picking someone with a shield

    Sorry, but Zarya summer games combined with her dance emote is leagues above the rest.

    Got my second legendary from the summer games...and it's the other Zarya skin from last year. So now I have both, yay.

    BMX Reaper is apparently too much to ask.

  • PaperLuigi44PaperLuigi44 My amazement is at maximum capacity. Registered User regular
    I'd be happy with either Sombra, Soldier or Junkrat's skin, the latter would even be enough to get me to play him.

  • KalTorakKalTorak One way or another, they all end up in the Undercity.Registered User regular
    oh man I cannot wait for Junkrat's new mines.

  • RadiusRadius Registered User regular
    I've got Reaper/Soldier/Mercy

    I'll buy Sombra if I don't get her.

    I kind of want the Widow skin? I never play her regardless.
