Pharah is amazing, I dedicate myself to the rocket firing Egyptian overlord. May my enemies meet a barrage of explosions to the face. My main nemesis is Genji creeping around and nailing me from behind as I unleash the fire and brimstone though, not sure how to counter it.

 

Friend opened around 8 boxes, got Mechaqueen Pharah and one of the Native American Pharah skins. I'm not jealous. Really.

 

I want Anubis Pharah so bad.

 

I've bought 61 crates and I'm level 11, so from 72 crates, my legendary skins are:

Jester/ Scarecrow Junkrat
Mechaqueen Pharrah (1k creds)
Lionhardt Reinhartd (1k creds)
Mako/ Sharkbait Roadhog
Daredevil: 76 (possibly the ugliest, and thus most hilarious skin of all time)
Barbarossa Torbjorn (1k creds) (le chuck!)
Punk Tracer
Comtesse Widowmaker
Djinyatta (1k creds)

Along with a bunch of epic ones too that I sometimes prefer to their legendary counterparts.

Basically, the drop rates are pretty decent from crates, unlike Hearthstone and packs.

 

I really like if you double up you get some coins and it's not just wasted. A very small amount but still better than nothing.

 

That small amount adds up, especially since doubles become increasingly common the more crates you open, obviously.

 

Neat, got a play of the game as Torbjörn. I mean, it looked lame as hell since it was me killing some dudes while my turret also defended elsewhere, but hey.

Wonder how they calculate the Plays.

 

They probably just search for the biggest amount of damage/point change in the time frame. I know you can also get PotG by cancelling people's ults too.

 

Or getting a 5 man rez

 

Do the commendations count for anything?

 

Not sure about commendations but the medals count towards achieves.

 

All day I've been swapping between Junkrat and Bastion (for Offense and Defense, respectively), with the occasional Mei thrown in.

The more I play the more I'm convinced maps should dictate hero choices more then anything else in solo queue. Youre in the dense, tight streets of Kings Row? Junkrat's bombs bounce everywhere and get tons more hits. You're in the Temple of Anubis? The variable heights and large amounts of cover make Bastion positioning much easier.

But if you're in Ilios/Numbani? The map is way too bright, and the spaces are way too open. Bastion gets spotted much easier on these maps, and requires much more healer attention to be effective. The Numbani streets are also way way way wider, making Junkrat less effective.

And ugh, Bastion in Nepal is cancer. Not for hte other team, but for you. No clean line of sights of anything useful without being in full view or in melee range.


Depending on your goal, and the layout of your surroundings, you can make smarter (or dumber) choices. Pharah does quite well in the open ceiling maps of Route 66 or Dorado, but is hampered horribly in Liljiang tower's closed ceiling. Same with Widowmaker in Liljiang- using her there is just asking for her to be completely owned, but stick her in the darker, trickier maps (Kings Row, which is pretty cool of them to make her lore sniping map and her actual probable best map, as well as Dorado) and she becomes that much harder to track while having large amounts of sniper vantage points.



Junkrat though... he's a blast. I find myself remembering to use his traps way more then most secondary abilities, and especially his mine saves your ass all the time.

And nothing is better then a rez and immediately shift key into a cross map mine explosion kill : ).

 

Got Daredevil: 76. I'll miss playing other heroes, but sacrifices must be made.

 

The Soldier without fear.

 

So somehow played all of yesterday without realising you could hold L2 to hover instead of X with Pharah

Life just got so much easier, having to hold almost the entire right side of the controller while still directing with the left stick was horrible.

 

Yeah, don't be too embarrassed. Took me ages to realise i could right click to blink instead of shift.

 

Do we have enough players to be able to do a DLP only match?

 

Saber#1619

 

I know DLP's PS4 community only has 11 people, so I'd assume that unless all of us have Overwatch that it's unlikely

 

Let's do a truth season. I'll start with admitting that the last couple games on defence I have picked Bastion. I am sorry, it is cheap and easy, but while he is as powerful as he is sometimes I just can't resist.

I console myself with the fact he still is one of my least played characters but I just feel dirty.
