Do any of the holiday legendary skins have unique voice lines? It's hard to find out. On youtube every time I think I have a showcase of the new skins it's just someone in the character viewer spinning them around, unbought, and doing commentary .

Torbjorn's ult callout changes to "Merry Molten Core".
Mei's "you have to let it go" voice line changes to "you have to let it snow".
I believe Tracer's elf skin has her say something like "Tracer is coming to town".

I'm sure there are others too.

No word yet as to whether all or every Overwatch hero is gay.

Zarya is obviously Transgender,

They award less XP per match than the 6v6 modes (since they take less time);

What's your metric here? Generally speaking, I think the thing most people are trying to optimize is "most lootboxes for a given amount of playtime", so xp-per-match isn't especially relevant.

As far as "optimal" goes, I don't think 1v1 is it, since you want something you can both queue as a group and get auto-requeued for, so you get the consecutive-match and in-group bonuses.

It's probably either 1v1 or mystery heroes until you get to 9 wins, and then quick play after that. You don't get xp for sitting around waiting for a match, and quick play (AFAIK) still has the shortest queue times.

I don't think it works with the ~lore~ anyway. Zarya isn't on the Overwatch team and wouldn't be in that group shot. She shows up because she's after Sombra.

Hi pals. I made it to level 25 and jumped into competitive placement rounds to have some fun. There I met some of the saltiest players I've experienced since Warcraft 3 DOTA days, but worse because they have mics now. I thought competitive would have had "team player" kinds of people and less insane meltdowns. Does it get better from here? I'm at rank ~2100.

Namaste.

Whether the randoms you get matched with are jerks, nice or utterly silent is random. I've only encountered a few rage-filled idiots but I make a point of reporting them if it's in chat (right click on their name for a menu) or muting them if it's on mic (P opens up the relevant menu page).

The real reason they're slowly getting rid of no hero limits modes is because Tracer won't stop making out with herself and it's making everyone else kind of uncomfortable.

Contrary to popular belief, nerd sorts tend to veer horribly conservative and change-fearing. Having poor social skills tends to make it hard to expand your viewpoints or understand other people's experiences.

Yeah this astonishes me. I would think that gamers tend to be more tech-savy, and as such, would feed themselves naturally all the wealth of information the internet has to offer. I assumed, because of this, that most young gamers would be far more liberal-leaning - at least when it came to social policies and equal rights in particular.

As an older gamer (By older, I mean 32) I just can't wrap my head around it.

Years upon years of women being abused and belittled by every variety of geek fanbase there is kind of stomps all over whatever the gently caress point you're trying to make here.

Nerds are awful and share a lot of their awful opinions and behaviors regarding """the others""" with awful conservatives.

They tend to be extraordinarily narcissistic and antisocial, so hatred of others becomes their defining characteristic.

Nerds have a larger concentration of social rejects than any other segment of society and those types of people tend to have a lot of self-loathing which they direct outward by lashing out at anyone who isn't part of their particular circle. This is very, very obvious and has been covered in various ways for a few decades.

What is this post even supposed to mean

like, walk into any game shop where people play warhammer or whatever and you can see it for yourself. gently caress, go ask the Magic the Gathering thread what the average magic player looks and acts like. Look up crackgate. Nerds are loving horrible people.
