They are, and the new Symmetra voice line (super-smug "I made you something~") is gonna get so much work tonight. :getin:

Is this downloading insanely slow for anybody else? I'm at 200 bytes per second download on EU. I'll be dead before it's done.

I knew I'd get an idiot saying something along these lines. Did I say it made it impossible to identify? No I said it made it harder which it does. It will only get harder as more and more skins like yeti/nutcracker are added.

How does it make it harder? They have the same silhouettes and posture as before

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.

The other option is to literally create a deathmatch mode and that'd be pretty weird for this

The snowball reload mechanic sucks rear end. It single handily ruins the mode for me. Especially with how the snow mounds disappear after someone grabs it. Am I loving doing a quest in WoW??

Goddamn, did they cheap out on Mei's skin. A purple palette swap masquerading at an orange price. Gimmick iceblocks are not legendary!

Baffling that D.Va got nothing but a victory pose, she's had no new textures outside of the Olympics nation skin. Zarya's super 3k emote is cute though

I played 6 games and didn't win 1.

Can't say I'm having much fun.

But hearing Mei say "Simple Geometry" was pretty good.
