Goddamit. What is it with all these people having missing limbs in this game?

Overwatch is actually a PG version of Shadowrun and Mercy makes mad cash hacking off people's limbs for gunarms so they can do their "private security" work.

Yeah, I know I'll get good stuff eventually.

I also heard that the chance of getting a legendary increases each time you open a loot box until you do get one. Truth?

that's how it work in hearthstone for legendary and epic cards. it was discovered after people bought hundreds of packs and statistically tracked the drop rates. it got confirmed by the devs

we don't know how it work in OW, but someone is probably going to do something similar because nerds

Winston is also great against genji because deflect doesn't do anything and you can easily keep up with him.

When doing runs with goons on discord (basically, people that I don't really know), is there something that helps me identify during the game who's speaking? It shows those circles around the person in the discord app, but I'm not looking at the app during the game, is the "overlay" feature meant for this? If yes, does it work fine?

Never tried it, my groups have usually used in game voice chat.

Anyone with better memory than me that can place the name of the point with the description for the control maps? I'm trying to get better at learning which heros work better where, but matchmaking puts me into escort and hybrid 90% of the time. My friend and I do kings row 2-3x a night but he's only seen nepal once since starting last week.

Lijang Tower (nighttime)
- control center - most obvious, the indoor one with the banks of computers
- the one with the building off to the side with the huge courtyard and balconies to either side to watch for flankers
- tower in the center with walls and pits around it, reaper central (I die die die here more than anywhere else)
Which is garden?

Garden is the third one. The second is Night Market

quote:

Nepal (ruins & statues)
- the point is a low valley in the ruins, junkrat grenades bouncing god drat everywhere
- point is indoors on a balcony/ledge, lots of fun for lucio and winston to knock people into the pit
- point is a small building on a ledge off to the side, great window for pharah to float into, easy to knock people off the back

-Village?
-Sanctum
-Shrine? The one with the bell in the middle of the point right?

quote:

Ilos (bright buildings, the sea)
- lighthouse - this one has the central well in the point to knock people into
- point is an enclosed building with two open walls in a lower courtyard
- point is a big open central stone gazebo thingy with a central pillar

-This is actually called Well
-Lighthouse
-Ruins

S76 owns Pharah badly and as someone with lots of time played as Pharah he's the only character I really dread seeing on the other team along with a good Widow.

Whenever there's a Pharah in a game I make it my mission to make her life hell with 76.

Every time I saw D.Va in the past JoshOG tournament it's where a team would run double Winston to contest high ground. So they ran D.VA with Winston instead even though she really doesn't do the same role because no one else has the mobility in one hero limit.

If you want to run a turret class on KOTH, Bastion is a better choice because if he sets up he counters one of the strongest strategies, Double Monkey. But it's still a "win the first teamfight and win the game, otherwise lose" strategy.

Winston is probably the worst hero to use to kill Bastion, every damage tick of his gun will do less damage thanks to Bastion's armor and bastion's DPS just shreds through Winston's Shield, Armor, and HP.

Yep, Winston might in fact be literally the worst pick against Bastion. Maybe Mercy is worse? But at least her gun has range.

You have to be 21 to get a credit card without a parent cosigning for it in the US, once again confirming that Australia is a Mad Max lawless wasteland.

When I was 18 (2004) Bank of America gave me a credit card without a cosigner. I just had a checking account with them.

New legislation introduced in 2009 (CARD Act) got rid of that and gave us the new age rules.
