There are some pretty crazy flanks possible with the new Symmetra!

Give backfillers ALL the XP the leavers would've gotten.

Posted: 14 Jul 2018 09:19 AM PDT

Nothing quite like waiting 3 minutes for a game only to be able to see the last 3 seconds before the DEFEAT screen and get a measly 400 xp. Yea sure it's "free" XP but I don't play the game for that, I play to, you know, play. Backfillers should get a full pack of XP no matter at what point they joined in, makes up for the time wasted waiting.

Ever killed someone with the "stick" damage?

Posted: 14 Jul 2018 10:04 AM PDT

The most condescending look I've ever experienced in my entire OW career, never playing heroes without vertical mobility ever again.

Prediction: Next PVE will be Junkertown Arena.

Posted: 14 Jul 2018 08:26 AM PDT

Junkrat, Roadhog, Hammond and Ana (yes ana) facing off against the arena's best challenges, possibly with the hidden intention of stealing something of importance (a piece of a god-AI's mainframe or something similar) from the Junker Queens stash.

Ana at this point in time will still be 'Shrike', a mysterious bounty hunter. Hammond will also have a similar thing going on, disguising his true identity.

It will be a window into what Ana got up to in her Shrike days as well as a great opportunity to show how exactly the misfits of Junkrat, Roadhog and Hammond all end up involved in the broader story.

LÚCIO's New LEGENDARYLeague EMOTE

For some people, situational awareness isn't their strong point.

Stop penalizing SR when your servers die, Blizzard

Posted: 13 Jul 2018 11:29 PM PDT

Seriously. Just had 6 people disconnect between the enemy team and mine. Not sure who all lost sr, but my team had disconnects first. If their servers start messing up, they should just negate all sr losses during that time frame instead of punishing people for "leaving" instead of letting them lose sr...
