    Same. I haven't been playing much so I just bought the Mercy Overwatch skin with what I had saved so I have that one at least. Literally nothing to do with the new expansion other than sprays so far.

    Don't know if it's because of school holidays or what but this week has been a pain in the hole. Twats on mic everywhere.

    I got the D.Va Selfie highlight, and nothing else.

    Which is fine, as I don't like playing as any of the heroes who got skins (except Reinhardt but his Bundeswehr skin is better).

    Oh yeah, that's pretty sweet, too. How much is it?

    Got the legendary Torbjörn skin as human (which I personally hate; much prefer my pirate skin and found it very boring legendary skin); the blue Reinhart skin (prefer my Halloween Ghost skin or the Chinese year one over it) and random sprays etc. Will buy the D.Va selfie intro if I don't get it but was never excited about any of the skins in the first place.

    Ah not so bad, thanks!

    Can't remember the last time I got a POTG! Was all set to show off D.Va's new selfie intro earlier when I got a triple kill with her ult (even remembered to lay a spray down!) but Mei got it with a Blizzard double kill. How?!

    Played a couple games last night, first time in quite a while, my 5th and 6th placement matches for the season. I was surprised that in both games I had at least 3 teammates on voice comms, didn't have the mic set up myself but it makes such a difference to have a team that's actually communicating well.

    You should probably get a mic then. Communication is often literally the difference between a winning and losing team!

    Yeah I've got one but I wasn't up for much of a chat at 3am :p

    Had played a good bit on xbox but after getting it for the PC now too. Absolutely hating the grind through QP before I can play ranked. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭Digital Solitude


    Having a good few days now, lots of streaks, 6 Wins, 3 Losses, 4 Wins, 2 Losses and currently on 3 Wins. Happy enough overall, up 40 odd SR overall.

    Few disappointing wins where I only picked up 15-17SR when I thought I had played well. Decent losses of only 19-21 too though, so not all bad.

    Playing a lot of D.Va and Rein, and upping my elimination count with Mercy too, got 7 in a game there, even 1v1'd a crap Roadhog. Free Ult though.

    Finished my placements, all of them played solo, rank 2350 now.

    Really frustrating when you've got a teammate who's adamant they're playing one hero and no one else, had a Genji claim I "never healed him once" throughout every round. I was playing Lucio, he was healing plenty.

    The game pays attention to the timing and placing of your actions. Equal actions, one in the middle of the game at a random time, the other in overtime on the point, the second will get POTG every time.

    Yeah it's about how much it increases your On-Fire meter or whatever it's called. Plus some of the ones you might have killed with Self destruct may have had less health already than the ones Mei took out with her Blizzard. Or Mei herself may have had less health herself which I think adds to it too.

    At first I thought you meant the Game-Vs-AI training game and was wondering how on earth you managed to lose.

    You meant the Kingsrow event presumably!

    Do you get anything for completing uprising on higher difficulties or is it just for the challenge?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    Is AFKing on 3v3s a way of getting loot boxes eventually if your teamates carry you? Seem to be getting lots of players joining and just being afk. Had three so far this morning.

    I don't play a lot of 3v3 but that sounds odd...surely the team with 2 players is going to lose about 90% of the time, which isn't a great way to get loot boxes.
