Gold 2.

[shirubagan]

I’ve played so many games as Support, it’s fucking infuriating when you get continually paired with healers who don’t ever fucking heal you. Prick game.

Are you pure Moira?

[df0]

Close to yes.

 

100% support. Main Moira followed by Bap/Brig followed by Anna. The rest is barely played.

 

Moira fits me perfectly.

[Sel Feena]

So have Blizzard given any indication what the tempo is for seasons? I mean is it straight from one to the other or will there be a gap like I think the previous game did? Also curious about the next season’s theme

[Mafro]

Mei is being disabled until November 15 🙄 Especially annoying since she's my main.

 

That's three characters disabled within the first month due to glitches. Strong start.

[Sel Feena]

Boo! I was really digging her again as well. Junkrat it is!

[df0]

With a fourth incoming: Brig's shield remains at 1 HP when combined with Kikiro's Ult.

 

 

[shirubagan]

Finally got some time to play Comp and got placed Silver 2 Support. Starting to get a few decent games in with Kiriko. Still hit and miss, but when you have a good game with her it’s great fun. Must remember to remap her jump though. 
 

Also managed the Photozomb challenge after half a dozen failed attempts following the Eurogamer guide. You really have to be in the frame during her close-up and not just during the cutscene as EG suggest. 

[Mikes]

This.  All of this:

 

 

The game is mechanically great, but all the stuff around it in OW1 that made it better really hurts.

[carlospie]

I haven't played this at all since cod game out. Nor do I want to. 

 

Bronze 5 my arse. 

[Kayin Amoh]

I mean, it's clearly not a sequel. I don't know what that 2's doing on the end of it, it's just a free to play shift.

 

Eh, I'm enjoying it in a mindless, passionless sense. It's the same as it ever was, with less rewards for playing and ridiculous costume / bundle prices. Feeling obligated to grind out a battle pass is something I expect will wear most players into the ground if they spring for it.

 

Halo Infinite had problems (mainly content related, the game itself is great), but battle passes you could complete at your own leisure off season certainly wasn't one of them.

[df0]

Plat 5.

[Mikes]

Gold one, and just found out ranks aren't grouped together until plat. I found this out after four straight losses with DPS who had 5 elims between them and thought to ask. Ffs.

[Sel Feena]

New Tank hype? New Tank hype. Maura (sp?) feels too obvious, I dunno. One of the MEKA Squad would be neat

[Strafe]

The new Overwatch 2 hero will set you back £215*!

 

*For a statue, that is

Had a few games last night. They shoudv left this dead and buried. The chance of having one or more semi competent team mate is 0.00001 percent I have calculated. 

 

Also tanks are way too tanky. Rein seems to live forever with a nearby mercy. 

 

At least on cod you can just have some fun solo games on multiplayer and actually contribute to the team winning. Even if you have a team of six totally selfish individuals, you can win.

That's why you kill the Mercy first.

[Kayin Amoh]

That's a pretty great Reinhardt statue. https://uk.gear.blizzard.com/products/overst0004-overwatch-2-reinhardt-premium-statue

 

Fire aside, of course. Fire effect on models nearly always look terrible.

[df0]

Plat 4. No noticeable skill difference from Bronze.

It's impossible when I'm the healer and I have five idiotic team mates who just shoot rein exclusively 🤦‍♂️

[Strafe]

lol

[Benny]

That new character looks so boring. Like something Destiny rejected.

[Zael]

I think the tanks are really well done. They really feel like they can take a punch now but you can still murder them if they stray too far out of position. Except for Zarya but she's being nerfed so.

Love it. I bought Mei's "Yay! 😁" voice line with legacy credits purely for trolling purposes because I know how annoying as fuck she is.

[Benny]

Mei might be annoying, but the voice line in the game I absolutely hate the most is:

 

"Blinkity Blinkity, it's Tracer! YEAH!"

 

No. Fuck you.

[Strafe]

Lines that get spammed:

 

’catchphrase’ Rein

’yay’ Mei

’Wabulance’ Mercy

’Boop’ Sombra

 

Any others? My favourite line is Ashe ‘Burn it all down’, as I usually say it myself everyday when I l’m listening to the news.

[Benny]

Lines I like to use at setup:

 

Rein: "Beer!"

 

Junkrate: "Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock!"

 

Soldier 76: "Young punks, get off my lawn!"

 

Brigitte: "What do you think you're doing?"

 

Zenyatta: "Hello World"

 

DVA: I don't spam DVA because it would annoy the shit out of me too. EDIT: okay sometimes I spam "I'm not scared".

[Benny]

I mistyped Junkrat but it still works so I'm leaving it in.

[df0]

Moira’s “You’re mistaken” fits every situation. Reply to someone else’s voice line, retort to a foolish opponent, a team members messing up their Ult.

 

Bap’s “You want a bandage for that?” is also great.

 

One I hate is Lucio’s “Wooo!! Jackpot”.
