I'll test it out with a fiver later today I guess. But I figured just now it's not that big of a deal if they don't, since whatever cosmetics I unlock on the Switch with the coins will be on PC too. It's more just for convenience, lol.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Guessing that's where the Kiriko challenges will show up after December for players who got the game after the first battle pass season is over or for players who never reached tier 55 to unlock her. Same goes for other heroes after their BP season expires.

New Zen kick is probably one of the funniest things in the game and whoever came up with that simple and perfect buff needs a raise. I had an blade Genji dash towards me and come up just a tiny bit short, kicked him on his stupid face then headshot him two meters away.

Zen kick is very funny. Even if you don't win the bout you can tell it's still a bit of a surprise for the recipients.

I miss the time when you could look at a character and instantly see if they were a tank or not.

Instead of now when everyone playing Doomfist and Junker Queen that have the same proportions as literally any of the DPS characters.

idk but mine was bound to the same button I used for push-to-talk, which was extremely confusing for a bit.

Hashy posted:

that would devalue the mythic skin though

DVA can eat the nano, hog can counter with Whole Hog because a deflecting Genji isn't doing anything else and now you can stop/start whole hog, Mei freeze is still a slow even if it's not a stun, lamp and trance eats into blade time, and Ana can always get lucky/git gud and sleep him

Your account is bugged and you should make a ticket. It might resolve itself eventually though. Otherwise it’s “win/play X games in any mode”.

It’s bound to middle mouse/Mouse3 by default. You might have that taken by something already?

This may or may not be correct.

Finally got in and spammed some junk grenades in mystery heroes for while. I had a reasonably good time doing so.

Sure does seem like some Overwatch-rear end Overwatch! Worst thing I can really say about it is I guess I gotta re-queue after every match now? Oh, and suddenly it takes too many clicks of my hello button to get D.Va to say "hey daddio" with her Cruiser skin equipped, what the hell

It's kind of wild that skins and such cost exactly the same either in "Legacy Credits" from OW1 or new real-money Coins. That means essentially I was able to bring over like $750 ""worth"" of currency that I got from free lootboxes. At least for those cosmetics that aren't exclusive to the battlepass or store or whatever.

Been playing quickplay and MH on my lunchbreak, MH feels the same as always, QP feels like you have to form a deathball at all costs. Whenever I tried to take a highground angle as Ana I'd just get mown down.

Game seems fun, shiny and super smooth. I suppose playing OW2 on a next gen console is better than playing OW1 on a (then) min-spec laptop with poo poo settings and resolution. Bonus points because I used to wear my newborn daughter in a sling on my chest while playing on said laptop, my now 6yo daughter was sat next to me on the couch slackjawed watching everything explode.

Been playing a bit today since it was quiet. It's been nice and I wouldn't mind getting back into it for a bit. Is there any kind of discord or whatever? I used to be on a Overchill discord but I figure they expanded beyond SA now and last I checked there it was chaotic and busy and I didn't feel comfortable. I just want to have some chill casual games with folk :3:

Tried this out after taking a year or two off from Overwatch.

Still seems like the old Overwatch I know? Fun enough, but I don't know if I'll be playing in two months.

I linked my PS account with my Battle.net account and nothing seems to have transferred. Doesn't seem like a huge loss, as I'm just focusing on the limited selection of characters I have as I re-learn this and I don't give a gently caress about skins or whatever, but that doesn't seem optimal. Seems like I have no history at all, now.

Yea, this game just doesn’t feel different enough and the monetization is brutal, I’m surprised they aren’t giving more free stuff away to get people to play but for the most part this feels like a content patch to OW1.

If you still liked Overwatch then this is probably better but if you fell off, this isn’t going to be good enough to feel worth it. Also, the cyberpunk skins are almost all terrible.

I sorta feel the opposite, I really didn't enjoy OW past the first few months due to how ubiquitous ults and shields were, and this did a lot to address both. It's a lot more fun for me than OW1 was.

I think it mostly revolves around redefining what a "tank" is. If you say it's someone who protects their team from harm then a lot of the changes nerf that quite a bit. Osira, Doomfist, Junkerqueen are now more the Roadhog style of flesh tank rather than people who can protect more than themselves on a larger scale unless they can just face tank bastion or the like. It feels like once the novelty wears down the pick rates are going to depend on the mode, but Sigma is going to be pretty popular and Reinhardt might actually get used again, because "shield where your team can shoot without dying" is still tactically invaluable in push maps.

Would it loving kill them to make Junker Queen stand out a little more? I can't loving do my job as a healer when I can't see the tank among the rest of my team, it's so loving annoying.

It's just me being salty but I really don't like Orisa planting her feet and stopping a rein charge. Yeah I saw the cinema, yeah I should know it's going to happen, but damnit hockey slamming the other tank into a nearby wall is like 90% of my initiation.

Is that still in 2? I heard she had a spear but I thought it replaced the barrier?

Fortify doesn't give cc immunity afaik but she can still spear your rear end to cancel charges
