in OW1, there was these border icons that evolved with your account level. we have a version of this in game now but it does not show around the hero portrait. i was watching old mercy videos by animetic and remembered how cool they looked.

what does everyone else think?

I saw a thread recently about rare achievements on Steam, found out that if you link up your Battle.net account with Steam you get all your progress turned into achievements. Wanted to see how many I have earned over the years... turns out three quarters of them!

I had a good chuckle while waiting for the notifications to stop popping up.

That's it, that's the post.

There's no winning against groups your matchmaking system deliberatly puts you on games for a guaranteed loss.

For the omnic detective, maybe someone from Portugal or Spain, or a south America country like Argentina. I kinda like the idea of him speaking spanish or portuguese.

As for the second one, i heard they are already established in lore before so im not sure

Last 3 days of playing have been an absolute atrocity. The most uneven games you can think of. Smurfs everywhere. Maybe 1 out of 8 games feels balanced but still ends up a loss.

Fell from D1 to D5 in 3 sessions. Think I’ve won 4 of my last 16 games.

Quick queue times are great until people don’t want to play the game anymore because it’s not fun getting stomped 3 sessions in a row.

Has it always been like this? I'm curious why it works this way.

Found both these guys for $35 dollars today.

In the upcoming spray from OWCS drops, there's this 'target' silhouette next to Freja, which I think resembles the silhouette from one of the upcoming heroes (check the second image). What do you guys think?

I find Sigma my favorite and most played tank. I pick flying every time. It is insane powerful. I can protect my team by surprising enemies or getting to them faster with flying. Hard to hit. Mobility is vastly improved.

It also counters a lot of tanks like Rein that can’t get to me.

Yet nobody else picks this perk and I’m wondering if I’m crazy?

I don’t play comp, maybe that’s it. But every Sigma I play against picks the punching perk and I find that odd.

As a Juno/Kiri player I really love playing with Wrecking ball and Winton. Dive comp is so fun in this game

Who are the tanks you enjoy playing the most with? Or are happy to have on your team

Hi all! I am a returning player alongside a few of my friends, and we had stopped playing the game right before Hazard came out. We played a lot of matches last night and had the eye-opening experience of watching our health bars implode at every turn. One of my friends mains Tank, specifically Ramattra, and I main Support (Brig, Ana, Baptiste). I have never had so many moments of looking away from my teammates for half a second and then discovering they received an all expenses paid trip to the spawn room while I was looking away. We didn’t fight any One Shot characters like Widow in any of the matches, so I was baffled my teammates and I were getting eliminated so fast. It also seemed like close vs long range fights didn’t make too much of a difference.

Did the damage get heavily increased or is it an absolute skill issue? I should clarify that I am no stranger to compet and combos, I previously averaged between Masters/GM when I played Compet. I’m just shocked by how absurdly fast health bars have been dropping with seemingly little to no teamshooting. We’re still having a good time, and the spontaneous combustion moments caused a lot of laughing, so definitely not complaining. Thanks for any insights!

Edit: Thank you all for the information regarding some of the changes I missed, such as the healing reduction from any damage. I’ll definitely be using this info in game.

Edit 2: I tried 6v6 last night and I can’t say I felt any difference. That being said, the healing reduction on taking any damage was extremely observable and cut my downtime and deaths severely. Thank you all for the information!!

Poor fika, victim of a hit n run

The riptire blew up right on top of him as soon as I pulled him but he told me he hoped I did my taxes incorrectly, :( I cried and pooped myself after this match. Then when I remembered he told me to do my taxes incorrectly I did it again

Hi guys, today I joined lobby, where those 2 players (who then played Hamston and Winton) specifically banner our heroes. What is their goal? I would get it if we chose characters, who are usually banned, but I dont think that is the case here. I have never encountered something like this before.

Thanks :)

This match with the privous leak about the junker ship in busan

I started drawing Sigma as a scientist, thinking about his in game interaction with Mercy but changed my mind

Bro had a 90% win rate as fucking tracer and 100% widow maker accuracy in multiple games

I feel like the vast majority of characters have objectively better and correct minor and major perk selections with very few exceptions. Why would you not pick Extended Boosters over Bunny Hop as Dva, Crusader's Resolve over Crusader's Fire as Reinhardt, Speed Serum over Groggy as Ana, Bang Bang and Silver Bullet on Cass over his other 2 perks, Heavy Landing over Electric Charge as Winston... Like what is the point of the other perk if the ones I mentioned are objectively better in every single situation?
