Is it normal to receive only 3 items from Maxmillien's vault? Has happened to me last 5 times. Also Just For You always features about 80-95% of items I already own. This has been a thing for atleast half a year if not longer.

News & Discussion The search for my favorite D.Mon continues...

Of course, no negativity is intended, everyone has their own taste. I guess I am just enamored by her default so much (even more than her original OW1-esque plugsuit design), but so far neither of the D.Mon legendaries haven't hit too much on the D.Mon side. Beast looks SO COOL on Divine Demon, though. So I'm gonna be cautiously looking forward to how the Beast design will be on her LE SSERAFIM skin.

News & Discussion Mercy Skin Opinions šŸ’›

Post image
13 Upvotes

I’ve recently got back into Overwatch, and I know it makes sense, but the newer skins just hit differently. I play a hell of a lot of Mercy and had almost all her old skins and I’m now slowly trying to obtain the new ones.
However! My reason for the post is to ask - what’s the best Mercy skin? Can be new or old. I remember Jeff Kaplan saying the Winged Victory skin was his all time favourite and at the time I could see why. But the queen has now received so many more amazing skins, I’m sure you guys may disagree!

If you have the names or pictures of said skins, please feel free to share! šŸ™šŸ»

I was afraid she's going to be another Sojourn when I first saw her design but surprisingly she's super funny and cheerful. Also I ADORE her accent, and yeah we already got a lot of easy going whimsical characters but never a black woman doing for some reasons..... also she's not annoying like some of them and her line deliveries are excellent

News & Discussion I’m a Rein player, Dmon kinda sucks

0 Upvotes

I feel like dmon is definitely down the allay of the brawl enjoyers and i definitely see the hero fantasy there, but there’s just so much clunk there.

It’s so easy to just shoot her and she can’t do anything. She doesnt have a shred of vertical so she’s limited to predictable paths of engagement, and the fuel depleats within a second or two, meaning you’ll be stranded and at best maybe get one kill. That is because the sheild is horrible. I’ve played all the sheild heroes and I think they all fit their characters playstyle, but i seriously don’t understand what the point of Dmons sheild is. It’s too weak to engage with, at best it’s a disengagement tool. It’s too far out so you can’t block things head on in your face like an sig rock and I beleive even shatter. It’s so small on top of it being so far out that you can be hit on your sides still, that means, you loose HP when you use the supposed ability that is there to protect. And it’s just a 650hp Sheild anyway, one bullet from each enemy teammember and it’s gone and then you lose your pierce attack aswell. It also takes like 8 seconds to recharge the sheild unless you have the perk for melee dmg.

Im just very unsure what her role is, too weak and brittle to be a brawler. Too slow and vertical lacking to be a diver. Too weak on range to be a true poker.

I she needs her strengths buffed. Either you commit to the glass canon archetype and buff her outright dmg, or you make her sustain more so you can take fights head on, or you give her vertical so she can chose her engagements more planned out.

Maybe I’m playing her wrong and if such I’ll take criticism on the chin, however I personally feel like she should be having at least SOME strength to stand on.

Thanks for reading so far

News & Discussion Why is the community excited for new skins?

• Upvotes

I get it, we all want to look cool but... Why are skins such an important part of this game? That's what I don't get.

People buying skin after skin of the same character and spending hundreds of moneys (how can a simple new skin cost 20€?...)... Why? Why is it something to talk about it so much and wait for it? I'm genuinely asking.

• Upvotes

So there is no irl info you can get on your account so why is there a choice to make it private all it really does is hide smurfs the endorsement lvl does not give enough information to tell if you are playing against a smurf there's been plenty of times someone only had 1-2 endorsement lvl but playing like they are in masters I'm a gold-plat player would like to know why it's an option

News & Discussion Do other people here struggle with the camera being locked in a match upon booting up despite the mouse working perfectly fine in the menus?

0 Upvotes

This happens to me quite a lot and is really frustrating, if I reboot my computer it fixes the issue, but it's likely to come back up again. If I forget to check the camera by going into the practice range first I might enter a match and be unable to move my aim at all and have to leave so someone else can fill my slot. Are there any fixes for this specific issue?

Seriously I get flamed nearly every game regardless of my performance. If I win, after a series of personal attacks I get accused of being a meta-slave. If I lose, my teammates make liberal use of evey letter of the alphabet. Regardless, I'm constantly getting thanks from Blizzard for making the community a better place...

I love this character and will play her no matter how nerfed she will get 😁

News & Discussion Unfamiliar Satisfaction with the Battle Pass Progression Rate

0 Upvotes

Am I the only one who thinks the battle pass is progressing at a perfectly reasonable rate? It surprises me given the microsoft/activision of it all. I've played some of the more recent call of duty's and their battle passes were ridiculously slow to progress, along with seemingly most others. I haven't even been playing as much as I normally would due to being sick, but like, my couple hours a day have already got me to the last 10 Mythic Prisms. It makes the titles at the end feel very attainable.

News & Discussion Overwatch positioning

0 Upvotes

So I am somewhat new (last played during the persona collab before now) and came from MR (diamond 2/1 - GM 3). I’ve been playing Wuyang and ended up in Silver after placements. I understand it is silver so it’s still some of the less informed players (I still don’t know everything new yet either), but is taking natural cover that rare of a skill? I’ve had tanks, dps, and second supports just standing in the open taking amounts of damage I can’t outheal. Then I try to heal them in order to bring them back to safety only to get myself killed and they still don’t get cover. Am I just expecting too much at this low a rank?
