Overwatch

Fuck may as well get that Rhein skin then.

I don't get why the Uprising game mode is going away at all. It's the first real story thing they've done for the game itself, so removing it seems like a bafflingly stupid decision.

I'm done. This last day, I've been fighting goddamn omnics for every minute of the day I could spare. It got me a bunch of boxes over these weeks, and the best things to come out of those boxes were duplicates of what I already had. I did get a couple of the Uprising skins. Rein, the young Torbjorn one, and Null Sector Orisa. None of those was what I was trying to get. At this point, it's too late. Now the event is over, and all I wanted of it is Lost Forever.

But life goes on. I've also re-realised how much I despise Capture the Flag. Lunar New Year drove me into a meltdown for a reason. I've also seen how many people would just rather cheese it with Bastion rather than, I dunno, take on at least the amount of challenge there is in playing a character who actually takes skill to play. And I've also gotten into Heroes of the Storm. I'll probably be playing that a lot more, now that Uprising is done.

I started the event on the first day with a match as Reinhardt, and finished it with another one on the last, so there's also that. Thought I'd mention it, as it is notable.

I have no idea if this is actually the last time for the event or not. I don't see it being annual but it seems like something they can run once a year.

Did they hotfix a bunch of new Uprising dialogue in the game? Run a bunch of matches and finally on my last round started hearing lines about Tracer making fun of the stupid payload or Reinhart just going nuts shouting when Mercy cautions stealth.

The more matches you play on Uprising the more dialogue you hear on the 4 main heroes one

I think some of the enemy placement changes, too (I noticed, after a while, the first tank Bastion starts appearing from behind after the payload moves to the arch).

So much for Blackwatch!Genji and Shorthair!Mercy outfit... -sighs-

I hate competitive.

I hate Pharah.

I hate premades.

I hate my life.

I will proceed to end it.

I think I had shitty luck in this event.

Cause I only got 3 legendries & two of which was the same fucking skin, Widowmaker's Talon skin.

Seriously how the hell do you get the same legendary skin twice in a row? What can of fucked up God did I piss off to get such awful luck?

Fuck loot boxes & fuck duplicates cause now I'm pissed at this shit.

I somehow saved up 9000 coins so 3 to choose!

I fucking hate duplicates.

Oh i guess i didn't get duplicate legendary this event.

Yay?

Saving coins is not an option cause at the rate at I get coins then I would have to play nonstop, every day, hours on end to break even & I cannot do that.

This game gets boring after a couple matches, I'd suffer huge burn-out.

I'd be getting more fucking duplicates anyway, been getting those a lot lately.

I only got two legendary skins. This event sucked. There have been far more fun and successful events out there.

Didn't get Cadet Oxton, Lieutenant Reinhardt, or creepy-beardless Torb, but got all the other skins (and got Chief-Engi Torb 5 times in total). Got Hanzo's emote and Dva's highlight intro and Symm's victory pose.

So I pretty much got everything I wanted. And I'm sitting on 10,000 coins now too.

I am so jealous of you right now.

Please don't be offended that I did this-

I have the Reinhart and Torb skins, bunch of voice lines, etc.

I was so excited when a golden token flew out of the last box but it was just Junker D.va.

I got the Torb skin like five times, was so fucking infuriating considered the fact I never play Torb because I hate him gameplay wise (lore wise he's okay).

I just bought the Mercy and Reind skins. Got Tracer, Widow, Genji, and Torb from boxes. Really wanted Blackwatch Mc Cree but I guess its not to be.

I REALLY HATE the Widow skin. I think it looks stupid. And I thankfully didn't get neck beard torb.

Again I got Talon Widow twice. Its pretty horrible cause I don't play as her due to being a horrible sniper.

I got a Legendary Orisa skin which is pretty great but I could have gotten that any other time.

Fucking loot boxes & duplicates.

I tend to avoid videos and issues with overwatch online when it comes to X is broken or the problem with Y but I ended up catching one yesterday about competetive and SR bias for supports...

Being a mainly support player I figured I would test this out and switched it up a little (Mainly Ana usually but I did a mix of Soldier and Zen for this). To this point I had resigned myself to living in high gold but it turns out I am getting far more SR this way. Great for me but...

Well I know its my viewpoint and is biased, but I m clearly being less beneficial to my team and I'm having less fun. While I am tempted to ride it out to the next rank and then resume normal play there it just seems cheap and outright unfair on supports. At least Zen finds it easier to maintain on fire.

Anyone else having similar experiences?

Hah! All these complaints, you silly people. I got Null Sector Orisa. That's it.

Oh, I suppose I did get one other gold: Huntress Widowmaker.

Yeah, haven't been having good luck this event. Frankly, even while the Orisa skin is nice, it's my least favourite of her legendary skins.

Buuut in all honesty, there weren't really any skins I was that fond of in this event, except for maaaybe Blackwatch Mc Cree.

I've posted similar stuff a few pages ago - supports really do get less SR, and so do defensive tanks(as in, when you're actually tanking and not obsessively hunting for kills like the DPS does). The system favors kills and damage, instead of support, utility, healing, etc... which all gets to eat shit.

Lucio main here, I am getting it as well unless I have a really rare game were I get high in kills and healing and those are hard to pull off. Even then I rarely ever climb much

I got Talon Widowmaker, Null Sector Orisa, Blackwatch Mc Cree, Torb's highlight intro, Dva's intro and some sprays.

Only thing I wish I had gotten is Genji's skin, but I don't use him so meh. Symmetra's win pose would have been nice.
