No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.

Once as Lucio I killed both a Zarya and a Tracer with the same punch and that was basically the highlight of my OW year.

I'm an art teacher and a lot of my students play on PS4. Today in class I overheard them teasing each other and after one of the louder meaner kids tried to start something, one of the quieter boys said "boy shut up with that, who cuts your hair, Genji?" and I had to step outside to mask my literal tears of hilarity. His haircut is very much a wreck and no one felt they could top that line so class settled down once I stopped giggling.

I love High Noon, it's dumb as poo poo. I ignore All Brawls a lot because I feel like I get Super Shimada Bros about 60% of the time, and it is a terrible game mode with terrible characters on a terrible map.

I like the class-specific brawls, Total Mayhem, and the Soldier/McCree ones. Plus Mystery heroes. All the ones with pairs of heroes are totally lame

The Mercy/Pharah brawl is pretty silly, even if it hard to win on offense due to it being hard to shoot other Pharah out of the sky or Mercy's ult.

What are the odds that Blizzard does something about a Symmetra putting turrets inside walls where you can't destroy them? Had a Sym on the other team do that on Hollywood and was getting lazered from turrets I couldn't see, and I could very clearly see the lazer shooting out of a wall. The next game was on Eichenwalde and that Sym was on our team so I followed her around watching where she would place turrets and sure enough one of the turrets she placed was in a spot you couldn't actually get to to destroy it. I reported them both times it happened

I dunno. How long did it take them to fix the poo poo with the turrets under the Dorado bridge? Every time I've seen someone post an exploit that allows people to go behind textures and shoot through them, a patch has come not too long after, but I don't really know how long it had been a problem before that.

They seem to recognize and fix problems like these after they're brought to light, so I'd just keep doing what you're doing and getting SSs and maybe video if you can manage it.

Doesn't think, just types.
So I just had a comp game where first the enemy capped both points, then my team capped both. Then they capped both again and so did we, both on overtime, but the match still continued. Didn't that use to be a tie?

We won but I'm not sure I enjoy playing that much payload in a row.

If both teams win the round with more than one minute on the clock, they'll have all the time left on the clock for the next tries.

It was extra funny because he intentionally let himself be killed by us at the start of the round (nice meme dude), stomped all over us for the next eight minutes, then once we switched heroes to deal properly with him he was forced to switch off Winston in a last-ditch effort to win the match. I'm betting that he was extra angry because he switched off and lost anyway.

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.
I can see how the CTF mode might suck if you were at an MMR where people were good but at the clownshoes level it leads to some really fun stuff. Like just casually walking behind their defense, tossing your mech to the front line of said defense, destroying it all, then ALMOST DYING BECAUSE YOU FORGOT TO CALL YOUR MECH BACK but managing to get away with that, and score the only point of the game.

Not that it's a serious game mode or anything, but it is funny how it's counter-productive to not use your ults until they can make an impact in Mystery Heroes.

Well, it's not exactly productive to use them when they make no impact at all, right? One of the things about Mystery that makes it chill is that you can blow your ult to kill one dude and that's an impact. One thing I've really been appreciating lately too is how much stronger Mercy is in mystery heroes than in the regular games-- resurrection is way more powerful when it also preserves someone's ult, and you can control the flow of the game by choosing which heroes on your team should stay and which should go redraw for someone they'll be more effective with

After my Winter event RNG fail (4 Santa Torbjörns and no other event legendaries, and that skin got old before New Years), this one turned out really well. I was prepared to spend pretty much all of my in-game currency on D.va, Zen and Tracer skins, but got them all from boxes Plus Reinhardt and Bastion skins that I’ll also use long- term most likely.

So I should be able to buy everything I want from next couple of events even if I play really casually in 2017. Unless if Blizzard comes up with a cunning plan for a new tier of skins.

I also like that I have my favorite skin on almost every hero. There’s so few exceptions that I might even buy Nomad Genji despite only playing him in mystery heroes.

We had a double or triple Symmetra on Hanamura defense. It's really hard to kill people when they all have an extra 225 HP and it regenerates.
