I'm 5 gold away from a legendary skin. And I'm torn on getting the Hayseed one for Junkrat or Abominable for Mei. I really wish I could preview the skins on things like highlights and victory poses and emote and stuff so I can see how they'd look. Because a friend made the point that the Hayseed mask would hide all of Junkrat's expressions and I have the best Junkrat highlight intro equipped right now (shooting himself in the balls), and it'd hide his face in that intro. Then again I'd also love the gold lion armor for Reinhardt, or either the El Blanco or Plague Doctor for Reaper. Gaaahhh

D.Va is like the only one where I like her default skin the most. It has the best color already (pink). If one of her junker skins came in pink I'd be more interested in those.

Lucio's best skin is the pink version of his original one. I like the frog ones but they cover up his face so they have the problem with the scarecrow ones.

There's some way to get a bunch of symmetra turrets inside of a bridge volume that the payload has to pass under on dorado, to go with that reaper exploit on anubis.

I couldn't figure out a way to hit them and they shot out of the volume just fine.

It's actually pretty easy to hear if she's located in a position that's at all relevant for you to hear it, once you know how to recognize it. Especially the "personne" part, I can identify when she says it most of the time now.

I always make sure to tell my team when I hear her say that, so that they can hide behind stuff for a bit.

I'm really not sure why they didn't make the enemy version of the ult have the same map-wide callout most do. I mean, I guess it depends on whether you consider instantly getting ganked when walking out of any given doorway more OP than having the entire team stay behind cover and act paranoid, but having a modicum of communication already changes the effect of the ult pretty drastically one direction or the other.

The unmasked nature of Reinhardt's, 76s, and Genji's legendary skins are pretty nice, especially considering they went through the effort to rig and animate expressions for these specific outfits.

Wish the Genji skins didn't just turn him into a generic anime ninja though. Like, if there was some Raiden-like outfit instead.

I think subtitles, or some sort of warning when ults are used, would be fine. But that person was advocating a visual indicator of footsteps, which would be such a huge advantage that everyone would just turn it on regardless of hearing disabilities.

Your complaint is that Genji is too generic...and then you follow it up with wanting him to look more like the most cliche anime ninja there is?

I had other dilemma, was going to get hayseed because I love junkrat but I hated that it hid his expressions. I got lucky and opened the scarecrow skin when I was at like 950 gold do I bought a skin for Pharah instead. Now I don't even run the junkrat skin because I like the unfortunate animation too much

That one is nice and I considered it really hard, but I had to go with Roxo. Purple is just the best color in all things. And it doesn't hide his face or mess with his hair like the legendaries.

I'm a bad, so we can assume you win the fight and that Auditiva is still the best.

Whatever other issues this game has, it's obvious the animation and visual design team put love into the game and it shows.

Also, the new random event is...weird. it's kinda great for playing for playing characters you wouldn't normally play in ways you wouldn't play. I've never touched Widowmaker but then did fairly decent pushing the payload on Gibraltar with her, using her as a squishier, longer ranged Soldier 76 (you can get some impressive range on that mine too). And then I sealed the win by running around with Tobjorn, killing their latest Widowmaker and planting a turret on the catwalk above the end.

It's great for playing characters you suck at because no one will really notice. Though I cry a bit inside when I get Symmetra on attack. I suck with her bad enough when defending.

Just to give the ult-deaf people the benefit of the doubt, I have definitely on occasion had enemy ult callouts just not play. I had a Junkrat kill me and a couple of teammates with a tire from right around a corner, and it had no callout when it happened, in the killcam, or in the POTG he got for it.

This only happens to me with the occasional Hanzo ult. Sometimes The dragon will just explode out a goddamn building and as it hits me I hear "Kurau!" and thats it.

Are you sure it's not you using the ultimate? Because when you fire off ultimates personally you play the "enemy" line for it. Which confused the gently caress out of me when I first started playing because I'd hear "FIRE IN THE HOLE" and "I'VE GOT YOU IN MY SIGHTS" and "JUSTICE RAINS FROM ABOVE" and think "Oh, that's the sound I play when I use the ultimate, it must be a friendly one!"

It was not.

There's a gap in the geometry that lets you place the turrets behind it.



My team couldn't figure out how to destroy them either and we lost what was a stomp in our favor because of them. Maybe you can shoot them through that little gap but how would you live long enough to do that?
