The next time Overwatch goes on sale, I'm going to get smurf account and only play Bastion in recon mode.

Kai Tave posted:As a self-heal it's pretty limited in how it can be effectively used...you can't heal and shoot, being damaged interrupts the heal which makes it less ideal when enemies are close by, so it's mainly useful for breather moments when there aren't any enemies around and at that point you might as well just have one of your own healers patch you up so you can give them ult charge. The opportune moment for Bastion's self-heal is the intersection of no enemies being nearby, none of your supports being nearby, and having no medkits in walking distance. It has the advantage of charging your ult a bit faster but yeah, compared to something like Soldier's healing field calling it a niche ability isn't some wacky out-of-left-field thing. Fair points I guess...I don't really play comp or proper group stacks, so the whole concept of "reliable support" is a bit foreign unless I'm playing one myself

Kai Tave posted:There's always next year. Next year, when they likely have to add new items or the players without terrible luck will play less because one of the major draws of the event is to play more for limited time items. And if this game is set up like any other game with odds, just dilutes the odds of getting a specific rare item. Like i get it but.

Bolivar posted:Fair points I guess...I don't really play comp or proper group stacks, so the whole concept of "reliable support" is a bit foreign unless I'm playing one myself Even if you're playing in complete "six people playing solo" mode it's still not great since, like I said, you could always just walk to a health pack in the moments between fights. It's useless to try and save yourself when you're actually under fire which is when you'd want a self-heal the most, at which point what most Bastions pretty much wind up using it for is healing minor damage without having to change position (which kind of breeds bad habits since you kind of want to be changing position as Bastion anyway).

I like to just move to nearest safe place when I'm being shot, self-heal to full HP and then look for a better spot. Nearest health pack might be wherever, and might be 75 HP . But it's not like a play a lot of Bastion (nobody does ).

I usually let people with self heal abilities heal themselves if they aren't on cooldown but at this point I always just go heal Bastion because at least I get something out of it.

When I play Zarya and we're on defense I always keep an eye on Bastion to see if he might need a shield. He's such a high priority target for the attacking team that even if he's not a great Bastion I might get a nice chunk of energy from it.

Broken Cog posted:Went from a match with two people yelling at each other in German to another with a group of obviously drunk Russians singing songs over voice. I actually got this on ranked. I was drunk too so me, a swede, 2 eastern euros and a german all tried singing don't stop me now by queen. We ended up singing three different songs (all by queen to *completion) while the sixth guy complained loudly that we sucked and were going to lose the game. We won, gently caress you dude. Drunken singing overwatch best overwatch. *completion defined as where we forgot what song we were originally singing and ended up talking about accents I also had a match with a guy who was doing his worst aussie accent and playing the banjo whenever he died. I don't understand why EU servers are so good, but i'm happy they are.

I think that my favorite part about playing Mercy now is how my team always upvotes me to keep me playing Mercy even though I wasn't going to switch. And also having people ask me what the hell I'm doing reviving only one person only to eventually figure it out when they realize they're all fully healed, Reinhardt just stood back up, and the other team are the ones about to break now.  I also punched out an enemy Mercy last night, and that was pretty fun too.

I guess his role would be like a pseudo-S76 who's a trump in a Rein shield battle? Recon mode's insanely giant hitbox seems like a pretty big barrier to that mode being good.

Poque posted:Is masteroverwatch bugged out with the new update (or just in general)? It didn't record any of my games I played as Mercy last night. I didn't change heroes in any of them and they all went to completion without leavers. I figured this out, I didn't have any kills as Mercy so when I finally got my first one, it recorded all of my prior games with her. Like a divide by zero error or something.

The best is when you see a widow peeking so you fire off a half dozen rounds at where her head will be and she just walks into that poo poo.

Tzen posted:Yeah I went and did something dumb and spent $10 as well. I only wanted D.Va's but instead got Mei, Winston, Symmetra. I guess I'm happy with getting Mei since I play her sometimes. Due to all the duplicate player icons and voicelines, I hit the 3k coin mark and decided to just purchase the D.Va skin. Watch next week during Arcade boxes I pull her skin out of a box. Oh well. just let me buy the loving skin for 5$. you would get my money blizzard. you will now get 0$.

Yeah it really doesn't look fixed at all. On top of the waste still looking too thin, the butt ends up looking like it was just modeled wrong. Granted you'll only really notice it when looking at it in the hero gallery but still.

Yeah, the primary change is more to how it looks from the front. Here's her "hands on hips" pose where the waist-cinching was really obvious and kept her hands from touching her hips:

Kashuno posted:$0 from you but there are TONS of people (in this thread alone) who spend $50 every time an event comes around. So I got all my Arcade boxes. 1 legendary. Ended up being coins. Woo. - I feel that lootboxes during this event are pretty poo poo. I don't remember pulling so many player icons and voicelines during Summer/Halloween/Winter events.

Are there any hints or good guesses as to the timing of the next event? I know they announced that there's not going to be an Easter event... so what are we going to see between Chinese new year and whichever way they decide to reform the summer games event as. Wondering if I want to spend 3000 on a Mei skin or not. It kind of depends...

Now that there aren't really any relevant holidays in any part of the Overwatch world for a while, I guess it would be best if they would just have their next events be something completely different. Such as a spring event with all those great skin ideas that don't fit any holiday theme, and then of course bikini skins for Mei & Co. in June.
