The Yeti Hunt mode is cute but my god is it not balanced for pugs. Also annoying that the Meis auto-lose when the life counter hits zero, not when all of the Meis that are still alive die.
I'm pretty meh on all of this. Sombra's is pretty and Ana's is interesting, at least - I'm just disappointed Mercy and Tracer didn't get nothin' like no Epics? Really? Feels a little sparse.

Snowball fight is still around though, and that was fun last year
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.

I'd love for Mercy to get something, but Tracer already got one of her very best skins ever last Christmas so I'm not too miffed at that.
I do wish they had a few new purple skins though, those were some of my favorites from last year. Scrooge McCree and Reindeer Roadhog are fantastic.

Something like Hanzo's - Tracer bundled up in a 3/4 length coat with a big comfy scarf wrapped around under her nose with hearts on it to let you know it's from Emily, and it flutters behind her when she moves, like the scarf on her Origins skin... A main can dream.
And Mercy is clearly begging for a Christmas Angel and/or Mrs. Clause thing... Grumble grumble bah humbug...

God. How can a whole team of 5 other people suck so fucking much. Dva isn't flanking, soldier is never looking for high ground, reaper never kills any tank or flanks, and the enemy torb can just walk in front of us and build his turret with NO SHIELD and level it to 2.
I seriously want a function to avoid people forever again.
Yeti hunt was pretty dumb, but I'm 4/4 on it. First two was yeti, despite saying prefer hunter for the second. The Meis were all completely suicidally idiotic and had no idea where the actual routes were or how to get ahead of Winston/cut him off, especially around the edges/bridges. I seriously got 3/5 kills on one before getting meat because they were all just swarming while I danced in my barrier edge.
Then, when I was a Mei, it was obvious that they had no idea how to play Winston or, again, where the routes were. No less than two suicides from falling off ledges both times. Had to play it a second time because the fucker never stepping into my trap for the achievement. And now I will never touch it ever again.
E:
Man, no purple skins, just one highlight intro and two emotes. The Blizzard World update better be beefy with the new stuff. It already has an event's worth of legendary skins.
Warning: there's a bug on Numbani where, if it triggers, the payload won't move - and it may not happen until after the 1st round. May wanna' avoid comp for a bit...

Yeti Hunt, moer liek Nyeti Punt.
Yes, let's make everyone share a set amount of lives with the same hero that was more made to fuck with fellow teammates with her wall. That's smart, this is smart.
And then when the Yeti player just leaves the game is a draw. Fuck that.
Isn't that just the latest patch, the one before this one? Valkyrie doesn't do anything to rez cool down any more, just makes cast time instant?
I thought Valkyrie gave it an extra charge.
Yup. Apparentpy it triggers if you do a normal rez before using Valk, but not if you Valk->rez->rez. So I guess you can't use it to do a clutch rez by busting out Valk while rez is on cooldown which is super shitty.

I'm pretty sure this has been gone since at least October
October patch notes:
Valkyrie
No longer resets or reduces Resurrection’s cooldown
Edit: I might also be tired as fuck, sorry
It doesn't affect the CD but it gives an extra "charge" for Valk's duration, and makes rez instacast. So you rezzed 20 seconds ago, Valk, free rez, in 10 seconds it'll come off cooldown.

Among other things. I mean, I missed the jump I was aiming for onto the walkway, but at least two of them had just blown their cryofreezes and they all grouped right up, so...
It's totally winnable for the Yeti. I was drivin' a lobby of Meis mental for like three rounds until one of them dropped lol. I found it a lot of fun as the Yeti.
Has anyone seen a Mei get PotG? Maybe you can't, given the Yeti's insane HP.

I got into trouble when I'd try to be too aggressive without the ult. One pick, sure, but whenever I pushed it, I lost like a third of my HP.

Yeah. I saw it in one of mine. It was imbecilic. The yeti was stupid and fell of cliffs twice. Only got one kill on his 4-meats (and didn't get to a second). The PotG was one hapless idiot Mei chasing him and then got a lucky headshot for the kill when he jumped straight at her. Apparently that counted as Sharpshooter. The fact that I got my own trap ult twice, and hit him with it both times because I am a TRUE HUNTER counts for nothing.
Last game I needed to get my weekly loot chests. Decided to try Mei's Snowball Offensive. It was the final round and it was me vs 3 other Mei's. They had me backed into a corner.
Ana Snow Owl: Amazing
Soldier 76 Snow Commander; Go Joe!
Roadhog seal hunter: Amazing but almost makes him look too respectable
Sombra Icicle: Eh, I never saw Frozen. I like the candy cane look better tbh
Hanzo Casual: Maybe too casual? I was hoping for some tighter jeans and nicer shoes (I am gay!)
Junkrat Snowbird: I want to head south for the winter too buddy. A+, Ducky Floaty ftw.
Snowmobile Bastion: Eeeeeehhhhhh? I like his sand buggy skin better. the beanie in turret mode is cute though.
These reviews are final. (pending new feelings)
Edit: Also, what happened that Junk ended up in the bahamas and hog is in north of the arctic circle hunting seals? Are you guys okay?

I took it to be a joke about Junkrat being from Australia since it's summer for them now?

Literally the only Mei potg I've seen consisted of Mei hiding in a corner, doing literally nothing (except throwing out an emote), halfway across the map from the raging Yeti that was trying (and failing) to kill me.

Mostly the PTR Doomfist bug fixes, no balance changes.

I played most of the game as Moira, then Winston, and then finally Ana.
It helps if the Meis are stupid as fuck. Can you guess what they did wrong?
