As for Hammond I don't think anyone has mentioned Sombra hacking him yet. Sombra makes Hammond really useless.

So annoying but I can respect it, she’s not easy to play but can make such a massive difference if the team doesn’t expect her to be a DPS a superstar. A Sombra that keeps hacks on tanks or a red DPS that is carrying can make things so much easier for the team, sometimes even if they’re not really paying attention to you. I like busting her out from time to time.

The new range for the McCree Ult is insane. I was playing Pharah in Ilios and our team was winning easily and in the last second of the game the enemy McCree Ults from his spawn and killed me while I was flying above the well. I didn't even bother hiding because the game was basically over, but drat!

Moira is a low skill cap low to mid tier hero in DM. When they did the comp deathmatch event it was mostly McCree as you moved up in SR with a bit of Doomfist, Reaper, and maybe Hog.

If you can't aim well enough to play McCree Hog is the sweet spot for low skill floor + actually a pretty high tier DM character.

Cool, I do in fact have poo poo aim so I'll focus on him with Moira as a switch option (and maybe Reaper if I'm feelin bold). Thanks!

Oh boy, the Allstar Genji skin has some admittedly sick flame effects.
Prepare to see that skin in every game for eternity going forward.

I also think that making the legendary Lucio emote purchasable with OWL tokens for a brief time was no accident.
They wanted people to spend their remaining tokens from the season to push sales of tokens for the two skins.

You can randomly get 100 free from watching the matches. I only watched two matches and got the 100 points to get a Hammond black and green skin.

Maybe I should start playing Zarya more. Everytime I get her in mystery hero I get really hard to kill. Ever since the rebalance on her charge and ult, I been doing really well with her.

I've wanted this for such a long time! The ratio of rare items is starting to become sqewed with the sheer amount of legendary's. I get why they do it because legendary items are always in high demand and that brings in more money. However, the gallery has only been updated once in 2 years and once again it was mostly highly rare items . There definitely needs to be more blue rare items than legendary's and even if this just means different colours or hell, different shades of the same colour then it can make opening loot boxes more exciting.

yeah I have only been playing for a year and I basically have everything that isn't purple or gold, it also makes me give less of a poo poo about earning my weekly loot boxes because 80% of the time I just get a few coins for the repeats. good thing Mystery Heroes owns enough to play it anyway

I don't mind all my boxes being a guaranteed 30 coins right now, it's just some characters (Orisa, Roadhog, Moira) where I like their base model more than any of the others. I also like having color coordinating options with my friends.

not a perfect solution for you, but you do earn free OWL tokens by watching OWL on twitch when you're logged in and your account is linked to your battletag and whatnot. I have 4 or 5 OWL skins and I have never bought any. I like your coordination with your friends thing

I like to wear skins that corresponds with certain maps.

E.g; >Oasis Moira/Symettra skins on Oasis
>Horizon Winston/Wrecking Ball skins for Horizon Lunar Colony
>Ra/Djinn Zenyatta on Temple of Anubis
>Junker D.Va in Junkertown
>Any Blizz related skins for Blizzard World

...I used to play with my sisters dolls as a kid.
