The internet might have a meltdown if you give Junkrat a skin where he's in a suit and tie. A sexual meltdown :brrring:

Correction, Roadhog should get fishnets and a Predator style mask because who doesn't want to play a fat predator?

76 could get an old Cylon meets Terminator meets Judge Dredd styled robot outfit and they could call it Cyborg 76.

Pharah could get a Rocketeer style 50s pinup outfit.

Edit: Roadhog and Junkrat with Reservoir Dogs style suits and ties, sunglasses. :c00lbert:

Besides the whole difference between $160 (I'm including the original game price) and $10/or $60 (I've been banned a bunch too lazy to check) I originally joined to take advantage of a IBM/Lenovo deal. I also have sold stuff which I normally wouldn't have and so have had my membership pay for itself. What I'm trying to say is I'm not terrible with my money (well in this case) and don't just gamble it away like an addict.

Junkrat in a suit would be extremely good, but I'd also settle for some sort of mad scientist deal with chemistry people hair, a singed labcoat and cracked safety glasses. Throw in some classic mad doctor for world domination lines like "They said I was mad. Mad! But I showed them!"

It feels like the game decides at some point if a knockback shot is going to send you falling to your death and if so it just rockets you out there.

You said glass houses, so apparently I did. Spend your money how you want but realize your actions in this case effect others. I don't like companies treating me like poo poo, so I don't give them money. You give them money which tells them their actions are acceptable which means they'll continue to exploit their users

I'd say something about how other people buying lootboxes doesn't actually affect your ability to enjoy Overwatch either but practically every post you make in this thread is you finding something new to bitch about so I'm not actually sure you enjoy the game in the first place.

Honestly if you eat up this "bonus content" in a full priced game that shipped with gently caress all content as the benevolent blizzard sacrificing their profits for us you are a moron beyond retribution. In a couple of years time at this pace they will have the number of maps and modes that one would expect a non f2p game to ship with.
