@SaintWacko 2 objective kills on Attack? Wat?

Yuuki

02:55

Finally have enough currency to pick up a legendary skin, not sure which one to get.

I actually don't like Tracer's legendaries and prefer getting one of the 250 ones.

So I need to pick another legendary to get while I have 1000.

@Yuuki And you'll get that skin in your first loot box after purchasing it.

Q: Freezing with multiple Mei's

So, I was wondering if more then one Mei are using the freeze attack on a target, does it freeze faster?

I got 5 gold as Zenyatta but we lost.

Getting 5 gold on a win is much harder.

Sterno

13:44

I hope I never play this person

two bugs

Those are some UltraReflexes

Sterno

Stop.

two bugs

You can't silence me

You tried to silence my rectangle comments but I came back

StrixVaria

@Sterno pls

Wipqozn

@twobugs We could, but we wouldn't, because that joke was ultra fantastic.

cc @Sterno

Yuuki

13:58

On the one hand, saved Zarya.

On the other hand...

two bugs

I tried to warn you all about Hanzo

NONE OF YOU LISTENED

Kevin van der Velden

14:12

@Yuuki that's just a lag thing

SaintWacko

14:23

Did it again

<3 Roadhog

StrixVaria

@SaintWacko Are you playing on teams without healers?

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria seriosuly, what the heck. Maybe just a symmetra?

I hate when people see "ph a symmetra? well we don't need ahealer! YOLO"

uh, no, sorry, you need a healer still. She's support, but not healer.

They really should toss up a "No Healer" tag

Kevin van der Velden

Go go gadgets dad cans?

two bugs

I hate when people pick support and then die once and switch

StrixVaria

The game could stand to have another healer.

I'm really surprised that I wound up not liking Mercy very much.

Wipqozn

14:31

@StrixVaria There's some speculation one of the next characters will be a support sniper

StrixVaria

I expected her to be my favorite support.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria she's mine. tbh I'm surprised how much I like Symmetra.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn so what, she took TF2 Medic's needle gun, put some healing goo in it and put it in a sniper?

StrixVaria

@KevinvanderVelden Headshots = full heal

Bodyshots = small heal

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden Maybe? Might not even be a healer.

StrixVaria

14:32

Bolt action so make your shots count.

Wipqozn

I think symmetra shows support is meant to be more than just healing

Kevin van der Velden

I kinda want a sniper that, when it shoots an enemy hero, leeches the HP to nearby allies

MadMAxJr

I want a gun that kills Mei, wherever she is.

two bugs

@MadMAxJr Go to hell!

Unionhawk

All we know is we have an image deliberately released in a video of someone who looks like a sniper, in the support grouping

Wipqozn

14:33

The trick to killing Mei is to gang up on her.

She gets wrecked when it's 2v1

MadMAxJr

After playing the brawl, I'm already in hell.

Wipqozn

And also don't let he get the drop on you. She needs to be close in order to be effective.

Unionhawk

with speculation that she might be Pharah's mother which would be something indeed

MadMAxJr

Oh, jabbering about Sombra?

She's got a personnel file on a desk in Temple of Anubis.

Unionhawk

There's also stuff in Dorado

two bugs

14:36

There's a poster for some other guy in Numbani

MadMAxJr

Doomfist

two bugs

15:09

It'd be cool if he was a movie star turned superhero

Unionhawk

I mean, D.va is apparently in films and such

two bugs

Well D.Va is a pro-gamer turned pro-soldier turned pro-celebrity

I like her lore because it's silly and very self-aware

Unionhawk

Yeah because her character is literally "was a pro starcraft player I guess at the age of like 17"

two bugs

I guess D.Va does kind of fulfill that role already though

Yuuki

@Unionhawk To be fair, most pro gamers are around that age.

Unionhawk

15:12

Yes

Yuuki

That moment when you realize that D.Va is definitely a child soldier.

I mean, I don't think the US recruits younger than 18, right?

two bugs

Final Fantasy had child soldiers before it was cool!

StrixVaria

Unionhawk

@Yuuki I think technically she was drafted at 18 or 19

The Koreans didn't put pilots in MEKA units until later on in the Omnic Crisis, after they lost drone control

SaintWacko

16:36

@StrixVaria Nice

I should start recording cool stuff that happens to me

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Hmm... I guess I could get the Countess skin, don't think I play Widowmaker all that much though.

SaintWacko

The first Legendary skin I got was for Widowmaker, who I don't play at all

Like, even if she's the one hero the group needs

I'm that bad at her

gfycat.com/BlackForkedGreatdane

Yuuki

Ended up getting Djinnyatta.

two bugs

@Yuuki That's a really good one

Yuuki

Now I need to work up to 250 and get the Sporty Tracer skin.

I don't like either of her legendaries.

SaintWacko

16:49

Also, this is amazing

gfycat.com/LeadingLeafyBluejay

You can practically taste the moment of confusion there at the end as he tries to attack the Svyatagor

Unionhawk

17:05

I really want a zarya legendary

I mean, I'll take anything, game, please

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk You must have 1000 credits by now

Also I actually got one of those a week ago. But it's not the one I want

IT's the punk one, which I think looks stupid. I want the snowoutfit one.

Unionhawk

I have 170

Wipqozn

OH SHE'S FROM RUSSIA I GET IT NOW

Unionhawk

I think I bought a couple 250s

Wipqozn

IT all makes sense now

Up next: The meaning of life

Unionhawk

17:07

Yeah, the russian military uniform ones look awesome

All others are less awesome

Wipqozn

also I have almost 2000 credits

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Huh?

Wipqozn

@Yuuki Try to keep up, jeez

JEEEEEZ

but referring to her snowy legendary skin

Yuuki

I think Reinhardt's Bundeswehr is legendary quality with an epic price.

two bugs

I don't have 1k credits yet but I haven't played in a while

Wipqozn

17:09

It's snow because she's from russia

two bugs

@Yuuki Good sales pitch

Wipqozn

@Yuuki is that the one where he has no mask?

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Yeah.

two bugs

@Wipqozn You are... not a clever turtle

Yuuki

And an eagle on his chestplate.

@Wipqozn Oh, I thought you were talking about the punk/goth one.

StrixVaria

17:10

@Wipqozn Isn't she actually from like Siberia?

The especially snowy part of Russia.

Unionhawk

@Yuuki It is, and I bought it

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria she is

Unionhawk

I think I got that and staff twirl emote for Mercy

with credits

I'm like, at least 7 levels behind all of you

Depending

I hit 31 last night

Yuuki

I'm ~34, i think.

StrixVaria

I'm close to 1k currency; I think I'll get a Reinhardt skin.

SaintWacko

17:11

I hit 40 this morning

StrixVaria

Not sure if I want Bloodhardt or Blackhardt (I think that's what they're called).

two bugs

I'm 40 I think? Haven't played in several days

StrixVaria

Leaning towards the red one, though.

Yuuki

I just got Djinnyatta and now my plan is 250 for either Bundeswehr or Tracer's Sporty skin.

It's much better than her legendaries, imo.

StrixVaria

@Yuuki Agreed.

I got that golden Mercy middle-tier skin in a box and I think I might switch back to the low-tier green one even still.

SaintWacko

17:14

I got the sweet Barbarossa Torb skin last night

Sterno

17:32

I have 3k credits. It's not logical, but I'd rather just sit on them forever than feel the rage of buying a legendary skin that I get as a dupe in my next loot box

MadMAxJr

Just use it to buy stuff for the characters you prefer?

Unionhawk

Just buy every voiceline and reap eventual rewards of getting dupes for days

Total sense

Or, yeah, just, buy what you want anyway and deal with dupes

SaintWacko

I finally got enough credits to buy a legendary skin

Bought the Sharkbait skin for Roadhog

Sterno

@MadMAxJr It helps that there's nobody I play who I don't have a skin for that I like

I mean, I'm cool with most default skins anyway

Unionhawk

Yeah that's because you only play as Strike Commander Morrison

MadMAxJr

17:44

Battledad: Flashback edition

Sterno

17:58

All the other ones have a stupid mask over his face

Unionhawk

That's not true, I have daredevil 76

Sterno

Oh. Yeah. That one's just dumb all by itself.

Unionhawk

You're dumb all by yourself

cc @Wipqozn

SaintWacko

One of the best things about Overwatch is all the little details, and the voice snippets

As Roadhog, I killed S76 and Roadhog goes "Nice mask..."

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Whoa man, rude. Gotta respect your elders!

Kevin van der Velden

18:24

I've got 1050 credits now, I don't know what to buy with it

SaintWacko

A skin for your favorite character

A legendary skin

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden Which is your most played?

StrixVaria

I'm holding out hope that the first batch of new skins will have a Legendary for Zarya that I actually like.

Unionhawk

I like the snowy zarya

two bugs

Snowy Zarya has really grown on me

StrixVaria

18:38

It's the best one for her, IMO, but I still don't really like it.

two bugs

The only one that I don't like is her Cybergoth one. It just doesn't feel right

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk junkrat apparently

But I don't like those skins, nor the winston skins, I've got a decent bastion skin

Mayabe reinhardt?

Unionhawk

Reinhardt's best is a 250

Objectively

Kevin van der Velden

Paragon? I'll agree

Unionhawk

No, the one without helmet

Though Paragon is pretty good too

Yuuki

18:58

@Unionhawk Same with Tracer.

Djinnyatta is pretty goddamn glorious though.

Not only does he have an amazing hat, he has the best name.

SaintWacko

Roadhog has rapidly become my most played

10 hours

Next is Hanzo and Junkrat at 3 hours apiece

Unionhawk

I'm still Lucio Mercy Reinhardt D.Va Junkrat 4-3-2-1-1

two bugs

19:17

Roadhog always feels feast or famine to me

Either I'm dominating or I can't even take a few steps without getting blown to pieces

SaintWacko

I get that occasionally

That usually prompts a switch to Reaper or Hanzo, depending on how I'm getting blown to pieces

two bugs

I still haven't played Reaper much

It seems like all my friends are good at him

SaintWacko

I'm... alright with him

Nowhere near as good as Roadhog

Had two games so far as Roadhog where I got five gold medals

two bugs

I've almost had those as Bastion

SaintWacko

20:18

@StrixVaria Nope

Oh, also, I got that gorgeous Anubis skin for Pharah this morning

The one I've been wanting forever

Q: Does killing yourself count as an elimination?

I was playing the other day, and I managed to kill myself with RipTire while clearing the point. I know you don't get an elimination if it says you died, but it actually said that I eliminated myself and gave me fire points. Did killing myself like this actually give me an elimination?

Q: Best locations for Symmetra's Teleporter?

I'm getting pretty good at annoying the enemy team with Symmetra's turrets and Photon Projector however whenever she charges her ultimate I start scratching my head. The Teleporter needs to be close enough to the action to be useful but well hidden at the same time so that it doesn't get destroy...

overwatch

SaintWacko

@Sterno I think so. The top answer says as much

Alex

Does it take longer to naturally have your ultimate chargers different heroes?

Charges* I meant to say

SaintWacko

Yes, different heroes have a different required ult charge

Alex

Ok

Q: Which characters have anti-omnic voice lines?

I love the world of Overwatch, even though we don't know much yet and the whole "omnic crisis" thing is interesting to me. Normally, when I play Junkrat he says "Piece of junk!" whenever he gets a discord orb stuck on him by Zenyata. He's the only character I've heard a line like this from. So, a...
