Oh, yeah, those Junkrat acrobatic kills are always so satisfying, aren't they? Had a great one on Hollywood attack where a Tracer tried to jump me, I flung her over my head with the det-pack, spun around, and unloaded into her face while she was in midair.

Speaking of good matches, had a brilliant KotH on the tower map last night. The first round was an unfortunate start, I'd gone Genji and they'd picked Mei, Zarya, and Winston, which sucked, even though I got some funny reflects on their Bastion. It came down to a 99%/99% overtime on the third round and was desperate as hell; I'd switched to Reaper and managed to get a couple crucial kills on their Mei and Winston, but we got wiped by their 76's ult... except for the Mercy hiding outside the point, who ulted us all back up for the quick wipe and win.

On an unrelated note, does it seem like Blizzard missed a march with one of 76's lines? The one where he says, "I'm not a young man."? Every time I hear it I instinctively hear a second half to it, as if he had said "I'm not a young man, but I'm still a man." Maybe that was supposed to be implied, maybe not, but it fits damned well with his lore.

Oh man hitting a tracer at all with Junkrat is always satisfying.  You just kinda want to yell "Ha! Take that you dodgy bastard" at the screen.  :D

PSA to Roadhog players.  If there's a mercy healing you and we're in safety, DON'T SELF HEAL.  Let me charge my ultimate.  Also, don't self-heal while in enemy firing lines, you're just giving them ult charge.

I am guilty of both those things when I play roadhog.  He's fun to play but I kinda suck at him.

Sorry about ducking suddenly like that, but I play for fun and getting stomped by a premade while we cycle through randos isn't fun.
I'm also sorry for ducking out without a word last night; I kinda needed to sleep and forgot to say goodnight.

I wasn't sure to post this in the cute thread or this thread.  Overwatch characters in fancy dresses.

Junkrat is my favorite just because of how into it he is.   :P

Are we talking about the one where I got really salty about the double McCree?  Cause that was an epic match.  Pretty sure we were playing at the bleeding edge of the two-weeks-old meta.

Cute.  I think that's the most flattering Roadhog has ever been drawn.  Hanzo is quitely slaying it... although he seems to have one more arm than he usually does.  Despite Reinhardt still having his blind eye, a detail that's pretty obscure.

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule

Come on Genji, that dress does not go with your complexion and you know it.

And I got MVP for aggressively pinning enemies with no respect for the flashbang.  That and a lot of blocking (naturally).  That was a good game, its always fun when you can just feel everyone on both teams doing their jobs.

A soldier 76 called me out today saying "I legit love autolock Reinhardt".  In the words of Mercy, "Its good to be appreciated".  The 76/Reinhardt synergy isn't flashy, but it gets the job done in most situations.

Also I hear that Overwatch actually does use raw input, no mouse acceleration.

God damn.  I still don't think bastion is overpowered, but that doesn't make him not fucking bullshit and the most frustrating thing to play against in the universe.

I also still don't believe he has hard counters.  He has soft counters, but the sheer amount of damage he puts out means any of the things that "counter" him really only beat him by a hair's breadth.  If you fuck up your timing or there's any kind of help like a Reinhardt or a mercy on him you're fucked.

And then it doesn't matter because the mercy will just rez him and you have to do it again (or you somehow killed the mercy while there's a bastion shooting you and then he just respawns in five seconds)

I need to stop playing this solo queue, it's giving me high blood pressure.

Eh, really? My experiences as and against bastion usually say that after a couple cheap deaths the enemy wises up and plays Pharah (3 rockets), Widow (two full charge shots) or Junkrat... Alternatively play Mei, wall him and laugh.
