I think the hatred started earlier. And it's quite frequently a mutual hatred these days it seems. The kind of person drawn to healers tends to approach games a little differently and the kind of loser that yells on the Blizzard forums tends to only like people who think exactly like themselves.
Silver medal for objective time. Gold for everything else. POTG. Had a full team of dps and tanks. Nepal map. Was playing fucking Lucio. ... how.
I swear to god there's only two modes with Lucio. Either you're gold everything, pushing mofs off the map left and right, scoring headshots like a champ, or you've got three elims and have done fuck all the entire round.
It's... we had a Roadhog. We had a Reaper. It wasn't even the sanctum where it's really easy to score eliminations by booping the enemy team off the stairs. I'm not even very good with Lucio!
For your amusement: Symmetra highlight where they put all her turrets on a basketball and push it into the capture point.
So Anniversary event coming up later in the month! Start saving your coins. I saw mention of previous event skins being buyable again during that time! as well as the new stuff. Very tired of so many high-ranked players creating smurf accounts to go kill noobs and deliberately doing things to trash their ranking so they get put in games beneath their skill level.
I did not think this would happen, but... I got into Overwatch? Like I even played it on my own, without my husband, and we originally just picked it up for me when it was on sale so we could play together. I usually don't like this kind of game at all. I don't know why.
update: did not get Symm's skin in any of the boxes but did get enough dupes to be able to shell out 3000 for it. I am. so happy right now. finally my girl gets the skin she deserves aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Lots of people are finding this! I haven't played a FPS since the original Doom back in the 90s and I took to this. I think Blizzard has done an excellent job in making a game that's fun for a lot more people than most games in this genre. For one thing, it's not utterly dependent on pixel-perfect mouse aim, which not everyone is good at.
She got a beekeeper skin. She got a mcfucking beekeeper skin and she does hare hare yukai. I love Mei.
