I checked and it wasn't that, since I've hosed that up before. I get display elements and stuff not loading in quickly, like not showing the gun or playing sounds, stuff like that.

I had all sorts of issues using nvidia's overlay. You can just hit alt+f8 to start streaming (and some other shortcut to record) without using the overlay in game.

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another

They probably will since if the scrubs haven't done their placement matches yet they'll get spread out all over gold and platinum.

I've never heard of anyone placing lower than gold.

Your quick play/previous season MMR determines the level you start your placement matches at. He must have had a really low initial rank to get that low.

Not officially, but it looks like it's very likely to launch on the 11th since the end date given was Nov 1st and the last event ran 3 weeks.

I want that Van Helsing skin for Mccree and I don't even play him.

All the skins look p cool.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
Chances are they're only going to have junkrat, mercy, and reaper as the new skins. It'd be neat if all the characters got them, but since they only did three for the summer games I can't see them releasing them for everyone. RIP Viking Torb.

Summer games had more than 3 skins. Lucio, Zarya, and Tracer got 2, then you have Mercy, Torb, McCree, Genji, D.Va, and probably another I forgot about.

rein and roadhog didn't get anything for summer games but mercy did, even if it was just a pallet swap

e: ana and soldier as well. plenty of options for skins in that comic that don't double up on skins from the last event, unlike mercy

I hope they at least let us spend coins on Halloween crates, if they stick to the skins being crates-only.

The leak mentioned something about "credits" that can be earned, in addition to coins, which suggests that there's going to be some sort of seasonal currency in play.

Here's to hoping the skins are on an alternate leveling system so people don't get hosed over if they're in higher ranks. It was such a huge oversight for the Olympic ones.

so I'm guessing her weapon will be somewhere between Soldier 76 and Tracer (in terms of range and spread, no prediction on damage)

I'd guess either Offense or Defense. She's clearly not a tank, and while it's possible she's a Support... I dunno, I don't get that vibe.

Supercar Gautier

If she has any kind of cloaking (as rumoured) I figure that would make her a flanker (although I suppose it could also have defensive utility for setting up ambushes). Whatever the case, that gun definitely has "offense" written all over it.

also that invisibility is never added to overwatch because it's lame

I love that hairstyle on Laura in SFV, and now I love it Sombra. Hope that's not just some elaborate fan render, because she looks dope and will motivate to make time for this game again.
