I mean I get that it's a big heavy hammer, but there's probably pretty obvious techniques for taking the strength of it on an angle and shunting it aside when you've got some magic/techy dragon blade.

Ninja reflect should be something you have to think about using instead of just spamming it off cooldown so it shouldnt reflect explosives which explode on impact and it shouldnt reflect the hammer if it doesnt reflect melee attacks

It reflects the hammer? I thought it just blocked it

So when exactly is the summer event ending? The Blizzard site says the 22nd, so does that mean at 8/23 00:01 UTC it'll be over? I need to know how long I can hold out before I end up buying loot boxes due to poo poo RNG. :argh:

Replacing poo poo RNG with paying real money for more of the exact same poo poo RNG? Yeah I bet that'll work out for you.

I got the Olympic Zarya one which is the only one that mattered, everything rlse I got was just meh whatever or junk. Wouldn't have minded trying to get the Lucio one but oh well

(I did shamelessly buy a few boxes since I've been too busy with work for $$ than having any time to play lately :()

I got Genji's and Tracer's, two characters who I never ever play. And Mercy's, a character I would rather not play again. I did at least get Roadhog's diving spray, but I really want McCree's, Zarya's, and Lucio's skins.

Have they said what their plans are when the event ends? Are the Olympic ones just never going to be available (until next olympics in 4 years and game will be dead) or end up in general skin pool or what?

e: misread because I'm dumb

but nah they said they were looking at this event and seeing how it pans out as a test for future events. they did say that the summer one was gonna be yearly tho I think

I would like if they became purchasable for a bit after the event, as I have enough coins but no Zarya skin. But if I have to wait till next year then I'll just buy fool junkrat or something.

The next event will most definitely be Halloween (dataminers found a Halloween voice line for Genji), and that's probably when we'll find out whether they'll be changing the policy on event skins and currency.

How do people get consistent 4 kills with the Dragonblade? I'm playing on the PS4 which is probably one part of it but cripes I can get 3 pretty frequently but the last person I need is nowhere to be found, surprise kills me, or my ult just runs out before I can strike them down. Hearing that Genji's on his way to gutter town I'd like to get it before that happens.

Just had a triple kill in the first few seconds, ran at a Tracer and my Bastion managed to kill her before I could reach her :suicide:

I can't speak to consoles, but generally they don't get "consistent" 4 kills, that being the key word. If they do it's because their whole team is coordinating to remove the things that can prevent it -- a competent McCree or Roadhog, or a Lucio or Zenyatta who's just, you know, awake.

Or because the other team doesn't have those things but that's not something within your control as Genji, that's just your opponents being dumb.

Yeah, guess I'm just getting hung up knowing that it's getting nerfed and I'm having some crummy luck whenever I decide to try him out. Had 11 Dragonblade kills my last round and it was mostly just a bunch of triple kills and :argh:

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I am hilariously inept with the dragonblade but it doesn't matter a ton because if you pop it people almost always scatter from the objective which is usually how I try to use it.

If you're getting triple kills or even just killing both their supports at the start of a fight you're still pretty much doing your job.

Yeah, I think I'm doing okay with it. Just feels like there's a added pressure to overextend whenever I get 3 because... just one more and I can get that off my mind!!

This is what meat is supposed to be like, dingus
American McGee three times and I don't even play that hero because I can't hit anything.



Ironically I don't play Tracer either because despite being limited to automatic weapons. Tracer just fires too fast and so she crosses over to the other side of the speed spectrum and returns to the start where you need to be able to aim again because she runs out of ammo so fast that you need to have the target in sight for almost the whole "volley"






I don't play Reaper because he is a close range hero and I prefer mid range heroes. I like the skin though because I loved Grim Fandango and I appreciate Blizzard paying homage to it.



I have no idea what this is but if I ever played Lucio then this would certainly be the skin.
