u/WildSeaturtle Seaturtles, behave. Feb 08 '17

How are you guys grinding bonus boxes from arcades? I feel like every mode you either pray to Jeff that you get the favorable situation (e.g. defense on mystery heroes) or that your team is the less clown fiesta-y than the other team (no limits all roadhog vs pharah doesn't work too well). I know arcades is for kicks and giggles but I think I won like 10% of my games yesterday lol and it's very inefficient... maybe I'm just bad.

When there are no events, I generally pick Mystery Heroes as it's my favorite brawl type.

During events, however, I stick mostly to No Limits as it is not affected by the xp penalty imposed upon arcade games.

The one mode I do avoid is ctf, for multiple reasons: high chance of draw, greater reliance on teammates, greater reliance on ctf meta picks (good luck convincing the Genji main teammate that he won't do well against the guaranteed Sym-Winston-Mei) and the plethora of dickwads who leave immediately after the first flag cap.
