So I've opened 75 boxes during this event, and I've gotten every skin except the epic Torb one, and many dupe legendaries. Only missing the Lucio emote and Roadhog/Zen victory poses besides the sprays/icons. Seems like a pretty good drop rate on most of them unless I got really lucky.

Are you going to be ok? Should we write mean things to Blizzard because they sold you all those boxes against your will?

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Well, that was a fun match. We actually had someone pick a second tank on Gibraltar, and they just had Rein, so I did some shielding but mainly did the Reinhardt Mating Dance. Kept their tank running back from spawn, swing my hammer at some other guys in their back line, and while three folks would take me down, it was time the rest of my team was taking their other 2-3 apart. We had a nice easy push to the goal, and their Rein wasn't nearly as good at charging as I was.

One thing I haven't pinned down (pun intended), sometimes it looks like I hit someone square with my charge and they bounce instead of getting grabbed. Is it just a precise hitbox, or does jumping dodge the pin or something?

lmao if you think something under $100 is a lot of money, especially for a Blizzard game I'm probably going to sink hundreds of hours into over time.

I think there's a hitbox and if you jump at the right time you get bounced, I've done it accidentally a few times. It's more generous of a hitbox than you think, Rein can vacuum up someone who's standing a bit to his left or right, but getting enough height seems to put you out of its area of effect.

The AUDACITY! The IMPUDENCE! The unabated NERVE!
I think of the defense heroes, Bastion and Junkrat can be saved.

For Bastion, give Recon improved bloom for LMB, and for RMB allow him to launch up to 2 sonar drones. Sonar drones will reveal enemies that come close to them and give an audible ping to the player of Bastion that a sonar drone has been activated. Sonar drones go silent while in Sentry or Tank mode. Further, ad another 50 health and 50 armor, Bastion is huge and is very prone to absorb a ton of damage.

For Junkrat, give higher velocity grenades, increase the grenades increased splash radius, increase steel traps throw distance, decrease cooldowns by 2s for concussion mine and steel trap, and improve the velocity of rip tire.

So I don't know what's been going on, but I keep getting disconnected mid game, if I'm the group leader it kicks everyone out. Its now giving me a leaver penalty (great :)). Has this been happening to anyone else?

I'm so confused. Can I spend money on boxes or not? Is hacking ok or not? Is gambling unethical?! Should Blizz get sued??! Is D'va OP?? Should the game be balanced based on competitive players?! Is it ok to watch pro gamers? Is it even ok to like OW!?!

Yes. No. Sort of. I'd like to see an EULA challenged in court. Maybe a little, but that may be because I find her annoying to fight. Yes but they shouldn't ignore balance at lower levels. Yes. Yes.

There's no way to control what you get out of those summer lootboxes right? There's literally one thing I want from them but I'm sure even if I played 100 games I wouldn't get it.

Just as with regular lootboxes you are never guaranteed to get anything, the exception is at least one thing in each summer lootbox will be a summer loot item, most of which are still sprays and icons.
