Boy, that Asylum skin sure is awkward with the mental health controversy happening now...

finally got a legendary last night; Genji's
not one I really wanted but I like it

I was hoping for Torb's or Hog's cuz I don't have the credits to buy both but then I actually got Hog's in the very next box today
just bought Torb's and now I can happily take a break from overwatch until role queue/Sigma

your vids always make me want to play Tracer more lol

but no, I'm really eager for role queue to happen so I'm ok taking a break for a bit
and by a break I mean maybe I'll play just one or two QP matches a night and no comp lol

Thank you! ^.^

I too am dying for role que though. Every time I go up against 3 supports or DPS with a solo DPS Moira healing us I'm looking to the horizon and 2 2 2 >.<

Ah, Mystery Heroes. Where the defending team has three Torbs, a Rein, a Moira and a Bastion on their side, and the RNG tells you to do something with two Doomfists.

EDIT: Someone asking why I don't contest the payload at the finish line when I'm Sombra and it's a 7v1 counting Bob. Why do you think?

Has anyone ever been into a skirmish lately while joining Mystery Heroes on PC? I don't think I've ever been in one for weeks(i usually join a game in less than 10 secs), which is pretty strange considering I often ended up into skirmishes in the past. Not that I'm complaining. It's like MH got a boost in popularity or something.

Did Sigma's Asylum skin get posted? Kinda yikes

Yeah, the skin is just one part of the overarching problem: Sigma is the only character who is depicted in-game as having a mental illness, and almost every part of that depiction is negative. There isn't a flattering way to talk about it in a flattering manner.

Then again, Sigma doesn't have anything to do with mental illness in its common clinical sense. He had his mind fucked by black hole exposure, which isn't even a fucking thing. He's not bi-polar one.

Wow this might be the first event I haven't even got a single gold anything. Not even 500 coins or a lame evergreen skin. I don't play as much as I did in the anniversary event, but I usually got one or two at this point. Good thing this event doesn't realy have anything I wanted.

Yeah this is the single silver-lining with Sigma's whole asylum "aesthetic": dude had this mind turned into jelly by a black hole, not exactly a diagnosable mental illness with a history of poor representation in media.

to me he comes off more like a (sympathetic) batman villain -which itself is a whole thing- rather than them trying to portray an actual mental illness
but also "it's not as bad as it could have been" ain't great

Fuck Ninja. Fitzy and Fareeha are true talents.



oh my god this is amazing

it's the gayest nerd shit and i absolutely love it

been a fan of fitzy for a while and that big brain on him, and i've also started following fareeha's streams. melts my heart everytime she does a little scat singing, so hearing her perform a full song is just magical. oh and also wow i had no idea fitzy could sing like that, too. these two should be the faces (and voices) of streaming.

the video itself btw is top shelf. the part where the typical goats comp runs off a cliff is beautiful.

best song from frozen too!

this collab is just *chef's kiss*

Hey Blizzard, give any thought whatsoever to restricting the range or accuracy of Torb's turret yet?

No? Unless it's a speck the turret will always snipe you with unerring accuracy the second you come into view?

I finally built my dream PC with Ryzen 3700x and Radeon 5700XT.

But I'm afraid to try out OW. As a long time console player, Mouse and Keyboard scares me lol.

I tried going back to console after I broke my graphics card and it was awkward as heck. You can get used to it, but it was so much less smooth.

Still, I would say the game isn't necessarily worse, but everything surrounding the game, the loading times the download speeds, etc, that's all way better.

I have PS3 Navi Move controller. If there are ppl in the top 500 that uses the same method, I wanna try using it too. Half controller/half mouse is my best bet.

I have lots of friends on my Xbox list and whatsapp. I didn't tell them yet because I'm not sure I can compete with the best on PC with my console boosted reflexes lol.

Gonna play training mode forever.

As a fellow console to PC fellow, anything for the sensitivity you did? I'm assuming everything on default and 400 DPI is a good place to start, correct?

It was actually interesting watching Chance's video for a while wondering why the movement seemed so weird (slow rotations while moving mostly) and then noticing it was on PS4. I've only ever watched high-level PC games and played PC myself.

With sensitivity, you have to experiment and find your own flow. I landed between the eDPI 3800-4000 range depending on the hero I'm using because I was told the best way to figure out what is good for you is to start low and slowly raise it until your comfortable. I'm a little unusual though in that I have a high DPI (2500) and a low sensitivity (1.6). With your 400 DPI and the default sensitivity (15), that's 6000 eDPI, so maybe lower it a bit and raise it as it feels right.

Otherwise, you may have to get used to keyboard movement. I know it took me a while to get used to.

Alright. I feel like a complete noob with all this DPI stuff but this is why I'm excited.

Restarting my OW career all over again. Hell yes.
