It is absolutely a missed opportunity to not at least give his balls a pumpkin paint job or something, pretty sloppy Blizzard.

Also remember that in that Sombra spoiler that talked about the zomnic/horde mode (assuming that poo poo's real) that it mentioned earning points of some kind, with more points earned for higher difficulty, so if that's actually a thing that's happening then maybe that's going to be a way to earn some seasonal funbucks as well.

That's basically how it went with the Summer Games event. Three heroes got actual new skins, anyone else just got recolors.

At least with the summer games they got their home country colors. Here it's just gray.

Summer Games worked the same way, with three characters getting Legendary skins and various others just getting Epics (Rare skins are recolours, Epics are recolours with a little extra flair, and Legendaries are outright new models).

Oh wow, yeah, the update just went through and I can buy it. Cool!

Not gonna buy it until closer to the end of the event, but still that's a huge relief.

Zenyatta's black with a skeleton painted on him. It's awesome. :colbert:

And some of us like gray. I was entirely disinterested in basically every sports skin (with the exception of a few nice national recolors), but pretty much all these ridiculous dumb spooky skins are to my liking.

I'd rather play against 100 Mei's than one good Tracer. I hate Tracer.

"A good tracer is loving annoying" is probably the best way to describe her playstyle.

Your job is to run around in the backfield, pepper the lighter people, especially mercy, and use the tanks to build ult so you can run into the crowd and stick your bomb on someone and laughing.

The thing that separates a good tracer from a bad tracer is generally which direction you blink.

Good tracers generally blink sideways, not back.

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
Every direction of blinking is useful, that's not really how you distinguish it. The question(s) are do they blink predictably, can they notice in a 1v1 the exact moment when their opponent starts tracking them, can they blink backwards into a health pack without looking and still shoot at the guy in front of them, do they waste blinks on geometry, do they go into fights with at least one blink banked...

Sombra's countdown hits 100% on Monday at noon pacific time. I wouldn't expect any kind of deets until at least then, unless a leaker circumvents Blizzard's plans.

The new brawl is a fairly basic horde mode. Ana, Hanzo, McCree & 76 vs Junkenstein's minions. Theres 3 difficulties and medium was super easy until the last fight so I'm kind of curious about hard mode.

I'm really curious what other events will have if they're all on the level of the summer game & halloween brawls.

Yes, at triple their normal rate.

It looks like this has been extended to the Summer ones too for when that event rolls round again.

The ones that are new models (Junkrat, Mercy, Reaper, Roadhog). Epics are the retextures.

I can't even play at the moment due to server connection issues. A sad day. Will try again later.

Whilst I wait though, do you get anything for doing the brawl? Regular exp? Event coins? Something else?

"points" which as of yet either don't do anything, or I haven't seen a use. There's a fifth star that's "locked" but that may be by difficulty.

There is an achievement for beating it though.
