This is the first event with nothing I want super bad. There's always something I'll blow coins on day one, but this year I guess I'm just hoping Cultist Zen shows up in a loot box.

All ultimates now count as cast when you hit Q. If someone with a long cast like Genji gets stunned during the cast animation, he'll still be in sword mode when the stun ends. But if you die during the cast animation, the ult is gone. Ults with cast time and a single effect, such as Blizzard, earthshatter, etc. will be lost entirely if interrupted by stun or Sombra's hack.
Thank god. Is was so annoying killing characters like Gengi "too quickly."
No. If I kill you soon as you hit Q, thats on you. No do overs.

Not a Lucio player, eh? It's going to take him from misery to miserest. I can't see that sticking with him given the huge-ass windup that's forced by it.

Not as much as I would like, because you can't solo heal with Lucio and its not like you can build a team without 4 DPS!
Related note, Gengi is the most amazing character in the game. Not because he's like...overpowered or something.
But every gold comp game has at least two Gengis (maybe more. somehow). Blizzard has created a character that 1/6th of the player base below Plat will consistently pick, no matter the map or other team picks, and then flail around for ten minutes accomplishing nothing.
Thats seriously an impressive character design. Its not like he's the best or easiest or really anythingest DPS (aside from being the Cyborg Ninjaiest)
The Summoner is a nasty piece of work in Junkenstein mode. Boss-HP Symmetra is as scary as that sounds, and her shield generator makes the zomnics tanky. Team needs to figure out one person to kill the generator while the rest focus her down.
Looks like they changed how lootboxes work from Summer Games. I'm getting nothing but (new) Halloween stuff. I completely tapped out the regular stuff not long after the change to not drop dupes, and was still getting regular dupes while there were un-gained Summer things. IE it rolled separately for Event vs Regular, and then applied the dupe rules. Now, it seems to not be doing that. Or I just got lucky and went 12/12 (well 10/12 with two gold drops) for all Halloween items.
At least on the lower levels, Torb is ridiculous. The turret is basically always firing, in addition to your fat ass shotgunning things, and unlike Uprising, nothing has armor/shields and almost nothing shoots at it, so your ult is just ALWAYS up. I had like 360 TURRET kills on my first Endless game, with another 80 or so Torb kills. The next closest was our Soldier at a little over 200. I also managed to photobomb Sym on my first try, so that was great.

Oh, because our Soldier and Widow apparently can't hit the broad side of a barn.
E:
Next two had leavers. One at the very start without comment. One threw a fit because he didn't get nanoboosted.
Next one had the Genji who spent the first 5 waves not moving, and a Torb who didn't throw out any armor at all.
PEOPLE PLAYING CHARACTERS THEY DON'T KNOW AT ALL! FANTASTIC!
I have no idea how you're supposed to do the bonus waves without at least McCree, and preferably NanoMcCree, and I'm not even messing with the higher difficulties yet. It just spawns so fucking many bosses at once, and any hope of focus firing dies when you're chain hooked by three Roadhogs in a row.
First, curse, the art department for always coming up with such loot box tempting skins. Second, saints be praised that the only two I really "need" are sym and zen, which are both incredible. Although I wouldn't turn my nose up at the mccree skin. Or Zarya. Or Ana (Never too many pirate skins). Goddamn it.
Edit: forgot viking torb. Also, I have a quad-kill mccree vid I should post.

Is Lucio the new troll character.
Because it feels like people pick him now just to drift over to the other team and just not participate.
It's really annoying that they removed the red outlines for Junkenstein too, especially with Widow/Hanzo. Bright red, bright red, bright red, oh it steped out and now it's grey robot on grey wall and invisible again.
But whatever. Got my lootboxes. Not touching it again until next Monday. Only legendary in 6 was Mei's dumb one and a pile of gold.

i mean, there are people who pick lucio and then take his ability to wallride as the only thing they should be doing
but i think that happens to everyone, it's just more obvious because lucio is a healer and you will feel the absence of a healer more keenly than almost anything else

For those curious, the Symmetra legendary doesn't really have any new turrets, they're just kind of a darker colour
Hog's highlight intro is pretty whatever.
How do you get past the gate in junkenstein? It's the same as last year, so far
I wouldn't be surprised if they decided changes there had readability issues
And a bat in the teleporter.

It's pretty lame. Just Winston in an Origins-esque skin.
Agreed, but also Golden mystery for Hearthstone? Golden Legendary for next 'to be announced' expansion? *off to the Hearthstone thread.*
I like the Symm, Zen, and Ana skins a loooot. The others are pretty meh. Please tell me Ana's bird talks?
E:
Oh, sweet. They added narration for the four new characters too. Widow is "The Countess." Torb is "The Viking."
Shield generator for the Zomnics? Fucking smash that thing immediately.
ABSOLUTELY!
Now I need that Zen skin. It's even better than Sanzang.

Actually, some of his Harmony lines already would be more unnerving just because if the skin itself.

Hats off to Blizz.

...What.
But on the other hand I don't really want those poses, so it's a win in the end.
But still: What.
And got it on the fourth Halloween box.
Along with the player icon.
I also really dig D.Va, just for the detail work.

Hello Cultist Zen. I will never use a different skin on you.

Got Jiang-shi Mei and Cultist Zen! So guess I can blow my wad of coins on Pumpkin Reaper and Witch Mercy if I don't happen to get them otherwise.

He also dies to a stiff breeze and has a fairly predictable move pattern, so is a prime sniping target.

Had one game where somebody selected Zenyatta and rarely swapped orbs so that was fun.
