What's the actual droprate for legendaries? I'm level 19 and I've popped two costumes so far. for roadhog and mei :negative:

I've gotten 1 from 20 boxes

It'd be neat if you could get a guaranteed legendary drop at certain level milestones or something (10/25/40 etc)

I've gotten multiple triple kills and at least one teamkill with d.va's ult, people really underestimate how useful boosting up is.

I don't know, I think once people get hit by it once or twice they'll pretty much never get killed by it again even when you try the trickier stuff like boosting it over a wall/coming from above. If you hear the voice clip you're pretty much safe

It's still useful for scattering the team/getting them off the objective but I haven't had much luck getting more than one or two kills at a time

When some 40% winrate Widow with 40% accuracy starts slinging slurs everywhere it kinda kills my enthusiasm to go another round. How much of a file does someone gotta rack up for Blizz to actually do something?

Ugh I just played a game as Lucio where I had over 3 minutes on the objective, the most objective kills and over 5,000 healing. Everyone voted for the enemy junk rat who did a bunch of damage.

I usually get a ton of votes as Mercy but barely any as Lucio even if we steamroll the other team on king of the hill or whatever

I think since Lucio's support is more passive than Mercy's some people don't realise how much of a difference he's making

Makes you wonder the sort of design spaces they haven't yet fully utilised. People have mentioned Fire in the thread already. Poison, semi-auto/unscoped rifle of some kind, knives (throwing or otherwise), clubbing stick/bat. Female robot, old woman. Those are some of the more obvious gaps that spring to my mind at least.

How do your 'career profile' stats handle switching characters mid-game? e.g., if you change from winston to reinhardt mid-game, would your per-game stats in your profile for each hero be artificially _lower_ because you only got a half-game's worth of stats accumulated? Or is it somehow pro-rated based on game time? Anyone test this, or see a blizz comment on it?

I'm not sure about kills/deaths etc but I think the win/loss stat only counts for the hero you were playing as when the game ended. (I have a 100% win rate with Symmetra I guess because I always switch to a different hero if we lose the first defense point)

What modes/maps does d.va really shine in? I've been playing her a lot more in an attempt to get better at her and I'm finally at a pretty confident point where I can usually go the game without fully dying, but I just can't tell what she's best at. KoTH seems great for her because mech explosions are great for clearing points, and point defense seems to be her big thing if I'm right?

I sometimes pick D.Va in Lijiang Tower if someone else already picked Lucio + have had a lot of success for some reason (I went 32-0 with her there a couple of days ago but maybe the other team was just bad)

I have nothing but anecdotal evidence to back this up with, but I'm convinced that the game differentiates between free boxes and paid. I get the exact same impression from having played Hearthstone since release. Either that or free boxes/packs are so spaced out that by comparison you seem to be getting nothing over a longer timespan?

:tinfoil:

All I know is that everytime I throw blizz :10bux: I seem to get better poo poo. I'm a loving sucker for their business model

I bought 5 loot boxes yesterday and didn't get anything above rare so I dunno

I'm surprised there's no option where they guarrantee at least one legendary if you buy the 10 box pack or whatever
