Tonight I played Zarya for the first time since the game actually released (because the other times I played her didn't go so good) I tried to get a lot more on-the-spot with using her barriers only after people started taking damage and holy poo poo is she ever the pick for comps that just pick whatever and then mash faces into places they do not belong. Maybe you win, maybe you don't, but you do have fun and kill lots. You also really surprise Reinhardts who don't realize they just charged your beam up to 100 after hitting you twice with your bubble up.

Can you level up or earn loot boxes playing against the AI? I want to try some new characters; but I don't want to let the team down, and still come away with something.

So just life TF2, the Egypt map is the worst one in this game. What a loving chore to play no matter what team you're on.

I was convinced that the votes would give you an exp boost if you hit the 5 or 10 vote marks until I actually looked at my exp bonuses today kind've a bummer but I guess people would just vote for themselves if you got something out of it

I think Blizzard should take a page from the Rocket League book in regards to POTG. All players can click to skip it. If every player on the server gives zero shits about what the POTG is it gets skipped. There's so much down time between matches that any effort that might trim that time down a bit would really be appreciated. Of course, just like Rocket League, some rear end is going to force us to sit through the whole thing (especially if they are featured) but at least there's a CHANCE we can get that 20 seconds of our lives back.

Yeah, that's the thing which sucks about turret (Bastion might as well be one) plays of the game. Some grumble about it and others might say they're mad. Really, they're just lamenting 20 seconds lost to yet another turret doing the predictable. Also, since we're unable to skip it, I kinda wish PotG was weighted more to show a winning team's plays. Seeing some McCree Deadeye 2 people away from the objective is silly.

I keep trying to use Lucio's alt as a Pyro airblast and use it to deflect grenades. It's also going to take my brain ages to realize the OW Egypt map isn't the TF2 one.

Whenever you get the potg and it's a horrible and boring play of the shame, you should have the good grace to be embarrassed for yourself in chat.

I once got potg as Pharah, but my wireless keyboard bugged out during the play and I just fell into a corner and had no idea where I was and took a second to get my bearings. Had a few laughs

You mean when you pull out a riptire, only manage to kill an unaware Reinhardt showing up right in front of you looking for health, get shot execution style by lucio... But your corpse kills three more people in the process?  Honestly I wanted my more embarrassing death to be Potg from the enemy. I mined Reinhardt into the air but was too close so I went up to... And he proceeded to aircombo me to death with his hammer

Sometimes though you get a POTG where Toblerone ults and goes ham and cheese on the enemy team with his hammer. Makes it all worth it

I got a triple kill as Lucio while standing on the payload less than 3 meters from the last point (we were on defense) and at the same time I dropped my ultimate on our whole team. The triple kill won us the game because we were in overtime and that cleared away the last of the enemies. POTG was a Genji double kill.

Or maybe all three of the Ilios points, since they all have med packs behind a wall on the other side of the point. Not great spots, there's many better spots that still don't quite work due to the game mode, but it may get a kill or three there.

I've been playing like utter poo poo the last 3 days and every game my team loses. I think it's related to the poo poo I'm dealing with IRL right now or to the lack of playtime caused by the aforementioned poo poo, I wonder if I should take a break from the game for a bit.

Its a computer program picking the replay, not a spectator and if the biggest kill got the potg every time it'd be ten times more boring than it is now. I had what felt like 7 kills with a soldier76 ult and a few regulars and a riptire triple kill gets the potg. Cest la vie, save it your own dang self if it was so good.

I'm kind of hoping something kicks in later, if it stays like this Blizzard is going to bleed away a lot of the non-hardcore sorts.(Also I've only gotten a single thing better than blue from a loot box, and it was a highlight intro. Maybe the game just hates me specifically.  )

The fact that PotG doesn't always reward you makes it more satisfying when it captures your sick nasty Geni kill spree where you cut down 4 guys with your ult and reflect McCree's fan fire into the last two guys

Asimo posted:The matchmaking is just hosed or not working at all. It works, but it takes a pretty long time for your MMR to finally settle. It took me in the range of 350-400 games before my win rate finally started to approach 50% in closed beta. I'm currently up to about 200 games now, and hovering around the 50% mark, but I mostly owe that to having become a much better player since when I started playing in closed.

I've had 4-5 Mercys get potg today by shooting (and missing) people until the rest of the team dies and THEN using rez, just for the team to die to 1-2 ultys right on top of us. People are trying to play the potg system that doesn't effect how fast they level or if they win or not and it's making me angry at videogames.

I got the Hanzo "Superior" PotG screen thing, then bought the Lone Hunter skin. The next game I very specifically let my team get poo poo on in the really closed alleyway in King's Row so I could get a 4-man ult so everyone had to see my cool new skin/victory screen combo. It was worth it.
