Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
It is going to be very difficult for anyone to convince me that there's a better feeling than watching someone run through a doorway, get tagged by 6 Symmetra beams, and just go into slow motion "Noooooooooooo" mode before falling over dead.

What's the coin system? do you get coins only if you open a loot crate with an item you already have?

No, sometimes it just says "here's 50 coins instead of an item"

Dupes are worth a small pittance tho

You can get coins as loot too, and any duplicates get converted to (very few) coins.

I think you get get up to 150 instead of an item, but usually you just get like 25 coins which is a slap in the face when all the cool skins cost 1000 :argh:

I got 500 coins from a legendary coin pile last night

It's always half the cost of that rarity tier's items

My favorite thing to reflect as Genji is a Widowmaker's fear of being dramatically owned, between shuriken salvos.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
I ordered the Origins edition on Sunday, is the widowmaker skin code included in the box or was Amazon supposed to send me a code?

My favorite match today had 3 snipers standing just outside a capture point with zero enemies anywhere close. I literally took it from 0 to 100 by myself as they stood right outside the border of it

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
I really, really like playing as Symmetra. I just tried her for the first time outside of practice mode, and by the end of the round I was thinking to myself, "Holy poo poo, she's so good."

This is despite me completely forgetting that she can give shields to all her teammates, too. drat she's good.

Edit: I'm incredibly jealous of people who have the quick-twitch skills necessary to use McCree. Not playing an online shooter since Halo 2 has ruined me.

Y'know what's fun? Playing Torbjorn, having a turret looking vaguely at the objective, dying with ult, respawning as the enemy team ticks up the objective and pressing Q and seeing that progress just STOP as you toddle on back to the point.

Y'know what's fun? Playing Torbjorn, getting hooked by Roadhog who thinks he can burst you even with your turret whittling him down, and right clicking on his head before he can left click on yours.

Y'know what's fun? Playing Tor

Don't babysit your turret though you dummy they're totally disposable, stick it somewhere to protect the objective and get out on the front lines murdering and armoring

It's all I see, and I poo poo you not I have actually seen pubs break down about who is more honorable and thrown down the racial slurs because they both picked hanzo, and the team demanded one swap. I poo poo you not it became a contest of who watched the most anime and had the most e-honor, followed by a flurry of racial slurs.

I remember one round where we got shut out as the attackers, and the best part was rushing out of the spawn as Tracer trying to make something, anything happen with under a minute left, and looking behind me to see a lone Widowmaker standing just inside the spawn doors, firing uselessly into the air.
