yeah but i find it very funny that the first thing i noticed from the Dragons short is that master sneaky assassin hanzo has light up shoes like what i wore in 2nd grade

genji at least turns his glowy xbox lights off when he's trying to be sneaky

I haven't heard/read anything about this game. From the brief video I watched it seems like a TF2-like but with a refreshed roster/maps/etc.

Is this supposed to be really good?

it's SUPPOSED to be good


and in fact

it is pretty good

On that note, I could never tell yesterday if I was far enough away from d.va's mech explosion thing to not get taken out. Pretty massive range on that one.

I'm *fairly sure* that the red / ! \ symbol will turn yellow when you're out of range. It's not an infinite range, but it is very very big.

i bought the 50 pack of loot boxes as soon as I saw they were available, no shame

from what I can remember I got:

the only player icon i actually wanted, the one of bastion's bird (president bird)
the white anubis skin for Pharah (pretty sweet actually)
green mei (mei more like meh)
blackbeard torbjorn :yarr:
nomad genji (legit my favorite genji skin)
EL BLANCO reaper :ese: (actually i got this one out of a level up box later but still) :ese:
jet black 76 (so cool)
utopaea symmetra (very pretty)

and a bunch of other recolors and stuff and like 1300 coins, more than enough to get the Auditiva skin for lucio and all the correct voice lines and sprays i wanted so all in all a rounding success

I've been trying to get better as Genji so I can counter Bastion and get some assassination in, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around how he plays. I slink around and plink people with my ninja stars. When I'm ready to take on Bastion or when someone is shooting me at medium range, I hit e and charge. After my e wears off, they kill me while I desperately try to eke out a little more damage.

the key to genji is to just mash all your buttons, left click, right click, dash, deflect, melee, right click again, run around like a maniac and up walls and double jump over people and run away and come back later and

yeah actually i have no idea but this is my strategy and i'm sticking to it.

alternatively be like seagull, get a pocket mercy, be good

Thanks for the Genji tips, everyone. There's some obvious components of his skillset I was overlooking, so I'm hopeful I'll do much better tonight.

please don't forget the most important component of his skillset

Thanks for being so zenyatta guys. Maybe now I can be the zenyatta I have always dreamed of being!

funny story, I was uploading a video to youtube last night and my internet only has like 1.8 upload on a good day so I was rubberbanding all over the goddamn place and the lag was atrocious

but i played a couple games anyway and the only hero that i could actually still function with was zenyatta. still got several kills and heal cards at the end of game. and we won both. :shobon:

edit: also heres the video if anyone cares. i killed the same bastion twice. *triggered*

What are you supposed to do in the downtime when you're a turret girl and all our turrets are up? Shoot guys? I thought I saw that you could heal your turrets somehow?

spam fully-charged right click orbs into the choke point, never stop

they will wreck anyone who is dumb enough to get hit, and they go through reinhardt's shield and will hit everyone behind him also.

Who is your weakest character? I've tried my hand with dVa multiple times and I'm completely ineffective with her.

Out of the ones I have actually put effort into playing a few times, I've yet to find any success as Reaper. Even if I flank around and find someone to kill I just screw it up so badly and die. Then I just switch to someone else I know I'm better at. I've yet to ever actually build up his ult, much less use it. :smith:

TIL that the Payload in Hollywood actually has a guy inside it who comments on the match.

I've left several quickplay matches on xbox one without penalty. Not sure what triggers it.

i don't think it takes effect until you start doing it a bunch in a short time frame, and then it's just an exp penalty.

you can leave safely i think once the :potg: starts, and you can leave at the start of the match during the initial hero select countdown.

In my first game back playing as Bastion on King's Row I rarely died, we won, and I got the PotG. Although we didn't win much after that match I didn't do my usual dying over and over. I tried to get sneaky and pick my engagements, I used the crouch to be a little quieter while moving when I knew there were lots of flankers and I managed to be in the right spot at the right time for my team a few times. Even managed to repeatedly take out one of those players that seemed addicted to hunting me down. I changed positions regularly and used a quick shift to reload when I knew action was imminent.

The only long range positions I took with Bastion were when the enemy was close to delivering the payload and I wanted to keep breaking their Reinhardt's shield. That worked well and he was forced to run around in the open and stop protecting his team.

nice job :)

it is good fun to have a good game and do well
