Whoever described Junkrat as "chaos class" instead of "defense" is right on the money. Sometimes it's a blast to just loving go insane and run into the enemy group firing wildly cause a lot of times it catches them completely off gaurd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipo2uJsmuOc I wish this POTG started a little later because I actually killed a few other guys after this ended in that little group after being rezzed

Once you get a team kill as Junkrat you should just blow yourself up because there's no more fitting capper to the experience than that.

Apparently it's just a mishmash of Native American and First Nations styles. Blizzard designers just thought it looked cool. Literally the only thing that matters for a skin is if it looks cool.

It says in the story that Vishkar is an Indian corporation.

Playing with a Steam Controller I just got two Plays Of The Game in a row as Junkrat. I don't know what this says about me, the character, or the opposing team but I'm considering never playing the game again because I don't want to ruin my streak.

Is there a way to report people for being bad at the game, and/or report yourself if you're on a bad streak? This game would be much improved with a "Punish this player for being bad" mechanic. TwoQuestions fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Jun 13, 2016 |

Symmetra is Indian and works for Vishkar and gets a nice thematically appropriate Kali skin. Also Indians from India are not actually native americans and vice versa.

This, but everyone who tries to report a player for being "bad" get forced into games where all their teammates are bots who exclusively pick Windowmaker or Soldier 76. (How do you expect anyone to get better at the game if they're punished for not being good at it?)

Played some games with my brother and his friends, they bailed to watch GoT, then I decided to solo queue for a couple of games. Second game we get RUN OVER at King's Row by a premade, I'm getting 5v1d all the time and it sucks. One of the guys says "where was the opposing team" and I answer "yeah, I kinda wanted to know that too". For some reason they decided to invite me to their group after that so I did a good dozen games with this full stack of complete strangers and it went pretty okay. We lost a defense to a gimmicky 5 D.Va 1 Lúcio on Hanamura, we had to deal with this annoying pro sniper and his cronies until we decided to chase him down, won a game handily and he quit, I played a bunch of Zarya and did good, I played some Torb and it didn't work at all. I think I'm falling in love with Zarya. When your team WAITS for you (this is important), she's incredibly obnoxious. You can solo full teams for a while but I wouldn't do it very often.

It definitely is weird and lazy to dress the Egyptian lady up like a Native American. In a game that's such a slam dunk for the most part aesthetically, that relatively minor misstep is a pretty jarring off-note.

I think she's supposed to be some kind of bird god more so than she's supposed to be American Indian. It's better than the obligatory bald eagle/dragon skin and honestly one of the better ones in the game so v0v.

Torbjorn's American biker thing is weird too because that's clearly a very American stereotype and even if he kind of has that look sort of normally it's still weird and random.ItBurns posted:I think she's supposed to be some kind of bird god more so than she's supposed to be American Indian.

Here's a fun thing: Soldier 76's rockets are stolen from Pharah's company and that's why they do the same damage on a direct hit.

Pharah's thunderbird costume is cool, and considering the level of discourse here I think touching on it being a bit...~~problematic~~ is kind of a bad idea. Instead let's bemoan the fact that Zarya only has poo poo alts. Give me a Barbarian outfit or a fancy dress outfit or something.

I just don't get why they wouldn't go with a traditional Egyptian deity skin for her. I mean it makes sense the only Arabic hero should be ISIS.

Pharah's Jackal/Anubis Skins are cool as gently caress and should have probably been the second legendary style rather than the position they currently hold. Pharah's skins definitely feel weird because Jackal/Anubis are clearly legendary style compared to others in the same category for other heroes (most of which are simply more elaborate colour schemes of the default style). It's like they had the concept for the Raindancer stuff created first and then decided to go a different route with her character and they put so much work into it they didn't want to scrap it so just kept them and gave her the proper legendaries as the tier below.

But yeah, anything would be an improvement, industrial-chick is kinda...bad and pseudo-Mei is just okay-ish. Her colors aren't amazing either.

The second skin I got was a dia de los muertos-style mariachi outfit for the silly death dude and that is A-OK in my book.

It's better than the obligatory bald eagle/dragon skin and honestly one of the better ones in the game so v0v. The skin is really specifically modeled after Haida art, and they're actually quite protective of their motifs, so it is kinda crass of Blizzard to just jack the style and garble it up to stick on a character of totally different ethnicity.

It doesn't really do anything since an enemy will rarely be this close to your spawn, but you can drop a Junkrat trap on a basketball and use the conc mine to launch it out of spawn before the game starts.  Also in the second pic - Overwatch politics.

Zarya's winter costume is actually the best because it's literally Russian Military uniform and you can see many people wearing in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqnKB22pOC0
