As far as I know, the PotG algorithm is still "the highest-density burst of Fire points, or the best Lifesaver, Ultimate Shutdown, or Sharpshooter event, if there was no qualifying Fire burst". That's why Junkrat tires (and Mercy ressurrects, back when she had her AoE res ultimate) always seem to be PotG: it's really easy to make four people die at the exact same instant with them.
I've proposed a "narrative analysis"-type PotG algorithm in the past, but honestly making the PotG algorithm smarter is one of the lowest priorities I'd expect the Overwatch team to have.

They should record how close a tire's destruction is to the Junkrat player's leftclick and if you destroyed the tire the millisecond they were about to blow it you get PotG.
Had a pretty awesome moment the other day as D.Va, inches away from capping last point on route 66. The enemy Junk ults right next to cart and gets three, but in the meantime I was able to boost to him, kill him, and avoid the tire, then jump on point and cap before the rest of his team got back. His tire ended up as PotG, which meant everyone got to see his sick triple kill which resulted in his death and our cap.

I had a quintuple kill on the payload as it was rounding the corner to the final point on Junktown..during overtime...and it ended the game in a victory.
The POTG was someone getting a kill and two assist at the first checkpoint.
whrrryyyyyy
All this Torb talk makes me so excited for whatever fixes Blizzard are getting onto for Torb. The Hanzo rework can't come soon enough: it means Torb's time will only get sooner!
But seriously, Torbjorn was probably the most fun I had in the month after this game's release. Not the bullshit 6 Torbjorn teams, just running around giving players armour packs, firing slugs down range and occasionally whipping out the shotty. He has such a nice look and feel it's a shame he's so niche.
Man, I'm having the weirdest time on PC right now. I've been calibrated pretty much smack bang where I am on console, so it's not that. And getting KBAM into muscle memory is the biggest headfuck I've ever had playing OW.
I can't put my finger on it, but you guys just don't do the things that I expect from console players. If I had to guess, I think it's that at any rank the PC players obviously have better aim, and as a result they will more often trust their mechanics to bail them out instead of just taking the sure bet. Chasing after 1v1s, failing to punish the easy kills, these are things I'm seeing more of. Grouping and focus fire seems less prevalent too, because I imagine similarly skilled players on PC need it a little less. I feel like a comparative strength on console is that when you know you're a shit shot you're more likely to shoot together and grab the low-hanging fruit.
Which isn't to say PC players are dumber, just differently dumb, based on the environment. I'll freely admit that playing on PC has been an education on the dangers of standing in the open against hitscan. You just don't have to respect Widows or McCrees on console Gold/Plat, so I never did.

I think, even despite the reduced FoV, console players might group and focus fire better because it's easier to avoid tunnel visioning when your face isn't eight inches from the screen.

Maybe, but the couch console player is getting less and less prevalent. The average hardcore player's set up is much more like sitting in front of a pc these days.
Will these improve my Overwatching experience over the Arctis 7? And I mean experience. I have no expectations of leaving Gold and Silver because my lifestyle restricts me to solo queue. Overwatch relies on its own Dolby Atmos optimization.

Do you already have headsets? If not, and you can afford it, absolutely get some. At the very least it keeps my blood pressure lower because I can hear and punish the cheeky Reapers and McCrees who think they can plod-plod-plod their way into a stupid-ass flanking ultimate. I like punishing greedy behaviour. :P

I almost got greedy and ordered the Wireless ones, but I went with the one with the DAC, which ironically has the better audio. Its a shame. Wireless and Bluetooth is tempting.

All of these event skins are supposed to represent these characters 'back in the day', I'm not surprised that some of these are going to be pretty rote
I was expecting Mei's red parka outfit from her cinematic rather than her pajama one, but it's cool regardless

It's that old concept art skin. Do the light bars on the pant legs actually go up and down with his music like an audio bar graph display?
Seems to be a leak - not confirmed yet, but that was my first question as well. Second question was "does it change the music?" Third question was when the fuck is Tracer getting a new skin it will be a year in June Papa Jeff Plz.

Eh, Tracer's gotten plenty of cool shit. (I honestly think her CNY one is one of the slickest reskins in the game

As a human being, no matter what I have, I require more. And it wouldn't be so bad if she had fewer skins but maybe doled out a bit more often - a year on bread & water is torture. Every single event this little spark of hope ignites in me and I'm like "maybe this time..!" only to be dashed on the floor.

Pajamei is frickin' awesome and I'm never taking it off her. It's really the only skin this event I give a single crap about. Like, I want Sombra and Moira, just 'cause, but Mei's the one I will have.

Zarya lives in Austin?
A quick google says 512kg is the record she set for weightlifting.
They put a laser cutter cathode into it and it could burn and set shit on fire, too
-.- ...meh.
(I just hate mei, even though I hook deleted like 10 squishies on roadhog today which is equally BS)
Honestly, every character should have both.

because literally every winston skin is "a bunch of new bullshit stapled to his costume", with the sole exception of yeti
blizzard has absolutely no idea how to design skins for a gorilla

What would be extra sexy is having OG Reyes' voice for all his lines in that skin but they'll never do it...
