I like Retribution but it does suffer a bit from a lack of varied objectives. It's pretty much just a leisurely walk from A to B and ends up feeling very short. Could have used some sort of a midway objective that changes the gameplay a little.
And my first legendary skin out of the Uprising boxes is my third legendary Hanzo skin, and it's not the new one, and I cannot emphasize enough Jeff I AM NOT GOING TO PLAY HANZO EVEN IF HE IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE THREE LEGENDARIES FOR. I haven't even opened a recolor for 4 heroes!

Not a single skin so far, 6 boxes in. Also had several Genjis end up killing us because they jump into the last fight you don't do.
Using Genji's blade dash or Moira's fade ability causes the Assassin to go stupid and just stand there if it targets them. McCree can obviously flashbang, haven't quite figured out Reaper but I think it's his teleport (she stuns him through his wraith form).
Bastion isn't terrible at it, but he's very vulnerable to the Assassin and can be to the Heavy.
Brigitte is just silly as she can shield bash to stun the Assassin every time it comes in and her shield can come in handy for the Sniper

It was neat realizing Hog eats heavies because they can't get knocked back by his ult.

This also happens when you fire up Orisa's Fortify ability when the assassin tries to tackle her. So the assassin just stands there and eats every round from the minigun.

Okay, I didn't do uprising last year because I didn't have the game, but was it always so difficulty on normal and it's just an issue of me needing to find a group that coordinates better instead of pugs or did they mess up something. Given that was done last year and they've tweaked things, I could see how they dropped the ball. I did it on all heroes and we failed at the very end because people decided to rush and spawn all the orisa null sector bots and bastions, but that seems so much easier than when we I did it with the locked characters. Also got to say, I'm not a ran of playing Mercy, the play style just doesn't line up well with how I like to play, so I feel for the people that get stuck with her that aren't very good at playing mercy.
Edit: Oh and Reinhardt can pretty much break the team, having one that just runs off away from everyone else doesn't help at all. It's like Tracers fall quick and Torb isn't much better.
Oh my. So I joined a Deathmatch game, and we got probably the best worst POTG in a while.
The Junkrat won with a 4-kill tire, which in deathmatch is totally POTG worthy. And that's the play we got! Mostly. Kinda.
What we actually saw was the player fidgiting around in cover, laying a trap, waiting, waiting some more, letting the tire go...and then the POTG ends before it goes off.

tried brigitte on retribution and was like, hmm i wonder if the snipers will be an issue...
I am not enjoying the increased number of Meis and Doomfists in my game I tell you hwat
Yurrrrrrp. I love Doomfist. Which is why I hope Blizzard stops buffing him. A lot of players just don't like facing him. That's fine. The problem will come when he's only just viable, and that combined with his natural unfun-ness gets him noticed and then promptly nerfed again.
For everyone's sake, IMO Doom needs to stay just a hair under well-balanced so he never becomes as saturated as Genji or Tracer.
Got to say the new PVE is generally good but oh boy is it super frustrating to go through a game and then just have folks who won't GET IN THE FUCKING CHOPPA.
Had a Doomfist, who worked surprisingly well for most of the content, just attempt to farm the dudes at the end and refused to get in the transport. They really need to allow partial extractions an make the score hit hurt folks who don't get in it.
Also Hog is shockingly good at just murdering shit in that mode.
Now I wish there was a Overwatch map deployment PVE mode with instanced missions at the targeted sites VS Talon, the AIs, and so forth. Think Payday 2, but four-color heroics.

I meant both, but opinions and all.
Was it a Genji?
It feels like it's almost always the Genji

Nice chart to figure out how honest a news source is.
Literally everyone except me.
I love punishing them as McCree when they get complacent.

Im not a huge fan of one hit kills outside of ultimates in general though

Makes me think of Diablo.
