Has Not Actually Done Cocaine
Really wish there was an option to filter out certain maps, cause if there was such an option there would be several maps I'd never play again, Lijang Tower being one of them, if only because the second part of the map is complete horse crap to play(part one is one of my favorites and part three is okay), honestly at least half of the maps in this game would be improved if at least one part of them was excised

Also I'm really starting to hate Zarya, because she's pretty much the one hero in the game that when played by someone competent that I can't effectively counter at all with any hero, at least not without either burning through an Ultimate or having several teammates focus fire on her(this is made all the worse as she's literally the one hero I'm incapable of playing with any competence, as I am completely incapable of comprehending her mechanics)

Zarya will only win 1v1s when she's all juiced up. Just don't fire at her when she is shielded as you will turn her into a monster. Of course, sometimes it makes sense to burn through her shield and kill her before she can make use of the damage.

Reaper can just straight up burn through her shield and health with no worries.

That wasn't how it went for me, could barely scratch her as Reaper in a 1v1 situation

You are doing something wrong then. Reaper should melt every tank, including Zarya.

I'm shooting her point blank and it still does barely anything, although to be honest I'm meh at best with any Offense character besides Genji(and I'm barely average with him), except McCree who I'm completely terrible with, which is odd cause I'm pretty decent with pretty much all Defense characters, and all Tanks except Zarya and to a lesser degree Reinhardt, and all Supports besides Mercy and Symmetra

Must have been missing or only partially hitting your shots. If I'm Zarya and a Reaper gets up in my grill I'm toast unless I have charge and my barrier is off cooldown and I can juke a couple of his shots.

Christmas legendaries will probably only be for characters who haven't had any seasonal legendaries yet. So probably not Reaper or Zarya.

Mei and Winston are the only ones who haven't had any seasonal skins whatsoever, so they'll most definitely get something.

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.
Usually what determines if I win a 1 v 1 while playing Zarya is whether or not I can drop them before I reload and if I'm going to get shield during the fight.

Genji's "Merry Chrismasu" line was found by data miners. He could be saying it ironically, of course. Tracer didn't get a Halloween skin, so there's no way she won't be an elf. Winston will be Santa Claus.

There are a bunch of characters who are due for their first seasonal legendary before Tracer gets her second. Torb and D.Va are likelier candidates for elf skins.

I think it'd be fun for someone to get a Christmas sweater skin. "Casual clothes" skins are the number one silly thing I think is missing from the game right now.

I also want some hero(es) to just have a skin that's basically your everyday guy/gal in the midst of all this craziness. Like just give me a soldier 76 without any mask, scar or anything and just put him in jeans and a t-shirt. It would be kind of funny in contrast to all the robots and scientist monkeys flying around.

KotH maps are great fun. 2CP maps are complete butt.

Also Reaper counters Zarya within a certain range. Unless she has 60+ charge there is no way she will win against a Reaper if the Reaper is within 5ish meters. Just shoot her, reload when she pops barrier and shoot her again when it drops.

I met my first legit aimbotter last night. He was on our team, picked Soldier and said he was "elo boosting" the people he had grouped with. Enemy team started calling out his aimbot pretty quickly and since he got PotG we all got to see it in action. It was ridiculously obvious that he was botting with the crosshair being like a magnet on every enemy. Unsurprisingly, he was a complete rear end in voicechat too.

Or he was pro-player slumming down with you to Elo-boost mates, like he claimed?

Sufficiently advanced Pro-player is indistinguishable from magic aimbot and all that.

No I've seen plenty of pro players with amazing tracking and it looks nothing like an actual aimbot. The reticule follows the enemy's center of mass perfectly.

I meant by bad Santa that everyone has a lovely and ill-fitting beard and s76 has a whiskey chug straight from the bottle emote. D.va's mech has a dumb beard strapped on to it, and torb just has a beard on top of his beard. And they're not just lovely beards. They're those ones that hang like 6 inches too low and have nicotine stains.
