Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Let's all have a moment of silence for the last shred of charisma remaining anywhere in Blizzard.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

Are you playing off tank exclusively or are you playing shield tank also as needed?

Do you have a decent system with decent frame rate?

right now i am almost exclusively playing zarya. the only tanks i don't really feel comfortable playing are rein and hog. i feel like my orisa, winston, ball, sigma are serviceable and i can play dva but probably need more practice with her before i play her in comp.

i still have a 970, runs overwatch fine though

anyways, i climbed from 1952 to 2023 these past 2 days so i am excited. the game that put me into gold the other team had a leaver which is bad luck for them but fortunate for me as it pushed me to 2001.

Any tips for playing Rein on defense? I love pressing W with him but in defensive situations I feel like I can't figure out how to get to effective range with the enemy without winding up in a terrible position I can't easily escape from.

The sad truth is frequently on defense as Rein you're waiting for the engage and until then your most valuable trait is 2150 combined shield, health, and armor to place between them and who they'd like to get a pick on before attacking. If you're good enough at playing that wall, you'll eventually frustrate them into engaging, otherwise you kind of need your team to either force them to engage in other ways or to join you in a counter-engage because you, on your own, will get shot a lot and die trying to run into the enemy line and don't really have anything that says 'yeah, come at me' on your own besides just denying them opportunities by existing. You've got five other teammates, and you're gonna need their help to get into the attacking team if they're just refusing to enter your zone.

Sometimes the enemy is diving all the time and you get to swing away, and sometimes the enemy is trying to slow roll in with double shield or something and you just have to sigh and try to figure out when you can afford to put the barrier down long enough to let it recover or eat damage to help your supports build ult without just dying and otherwise just wait. I'd focus instead on playing that part of the game- get better at positioning and rationing your health and just be as miserable a bastard as possible so that they feel like they just HAVE to run at you because of it.

Just an odd skin for Mei if anything.

It's made for the pun, there's an OWL tournament called the May Melee. (And the MMA fighter she's probably based on is also Chinese)

The skin itself looks decent, it's just that there are plenty of other characters (Soldier, Baptiste, Zarya, Sombra, Lucio, Pharah) who'd be a better fit for the bruised MMA fighter look.

I think Specimen 28 Winston and Clown Junkrat are still the worst as far as design/aesthetics go.

She should have gone bald, obviously.

In fact, why stop there. Just keep deleting parts of her until finally, you just delete the character and call it a day.
