    You complained too much about getting a Pharah skin without the armor so they're giving you an armor skin without the Pharah

    I... did I ever say that? I don't remember saying that

    I didn't mean you personally, just people generally.

    Also for the record I think Pharah has more of a personality than Brigitte

    Ah, alright. I wanted to make sure because "you complaining" does encompass like 90% of my posts here.

    I love that the elevators are always in just the wrong position to get on...

    Except this time when he performs a crazy tech. If he had gone for the elevator he would have gotten up there at the same time.

    i mean if we're judging characterization based on voice lines the entire cast is just _____ puns

    Except for Roadhog.

    frankly if we're just going by what blizzard puts in and not the fandom filling in the blanks, none of the characters are all that good

    The memes are dumb but that doesn't negate the overall character work. D.Va's video wasn't the best, but overall they've been pretty solid character pieces. Mei, Bastion, Sombra, Hanzo/Genji, and especially Reinhardt all got pretty detailed story treatment that did a lot to give them more personality and substance. Obviously this is all subjective, but at least for me they've succeeded way more than they've failed in developing those characters.

    That didn't happen! The internet made dva a dorito goblin who eats nothing but snacks and spends most of her time playing video games or being an asshole online

    The short made dva someone hyper dedicated to her mission who does fancy stuff cause its part of the job but eats snacks most of the time cause time spent making food would be time spent not working

    It's a combination of the fact they're probably tilting, and something sorta like Dunning-Kruger effect. A mouthy player who's full of confidence that they know what to do is probably not being half as critical of their own play as they are everyone else's, and thus is more prone to making mistakes.

    Some good skins there. Kinda surprised Soldier got another skin. I think this is the first time somebody got 2 event skins in different years?

    That's the opposite of true, they mostly double up

    Yeah, apparently I forgot about Ana, and Reaper, and Pharah, and Sym and...

    And I just looked it up, and apparently every event has doubled up at least 1 character, and Archives is the only event that hasn’t doubled up across multiple years (2 for Torb in Uprising, no doubles in Retribution).

    it's okay, about four minutes into that game i was struck with the idea of how about we shoot back at the widow that's been shooting us all game

    https://youtu.be/3zG36uQSdgc

    big brain plays, folks

    anyway new torb.... is good

    new symm ended up being kind of a mixed bag for me but i can definitely see myself playing a lot more torb

    Am I going crazy or does anyone else feel like the patch made physics kinda fucky? Specifically when you're getting booped or using a movement ability, feels like when you hit an object or surface you have a high chance to ricochet away violently.

    Yep! I've only played Halloween Terror so far, but he's playable there. I assume everywhere else, too. Torb also absolutely owns in Halloween Terror. I had one game last night where 2/4 people quit on us, but me on Torb and a Brigitte were able to duo the entire thing.

    Incidentally, I'm a big fan of any event that lets you earn your arcade boxes through co-op PVE matches.

    i had an extremely disappointing death in that junkertown game where I was standing *near* the cart and a nano Rein charge teleported me roughly 8 feet to the left to smash me into the edge of the cart

    why does rein's charge only work for opponents

    I always hated playing old Torb, so new Torb can only be an improvement.

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    torb was my main

    I'm... nervous about trying nutorb
