Chromeo on 21 June 2016

Didn't mention, but Symmetra has quickly become my favorite. I also love Hanzo and Tjorborn, but I'm a sucker for turrets/sentries.

Any of you guys get a nice skin in your drops? I only got one lengendary for RoadHog (Islander): 

It's a shame, I'm not that good with Roadhog.

I received the "Odile" skin for Widowmaker, which I have to admit is quite fetching.

Indeed. The skins they have are nice, but there's so few. Hard to believe they can't have more than two actual skins for each person.

But there's 10 skins. If we're only talking about different designs, there are still 4 or 5 of those for each character.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

No. Those are palette swaps. There are 4 "legendary" skins, but 2 designs each with a different color option.

I think in-game money is also a possible drop.

Yeah, you can get in-game money too, in different tiers/amounts... it's annoying really though when you open your crate, see the gold beam shine in the air, think you have a legendary item, and it's only 250 coins, lol :P 

The coins are great. Just save them up.

I've gotten a few legendary skins. The Reaper one, Roadhog shark, Bastions, and I think Symetra's one. Ofcourse the one I wanted, Zarya's Klingon Punk outfit, I had to save up, lol.

I mean. I know what's in the game. I've prestiged. I still don't get what you're trying to say. There are color options, then there are 2 different skins that cost 250, then there are the legendaries, which have two different designs each with two color options. There are still 4 or 5 different skins entirely regardless of color.

I guess it depends on the hero, Road Hog has only 3: Default, Islander and Shark

I looked at the gold weapons thing, and some of them look okay. D. Va's robot suit golden guns look absolutely terrible. Overall, I don't see the point, but I guess they need some kind of reward for challenge mode that fits the purely cosmetic nature of all of the other rewards.

Also, yesterday, as a rank 30, I was dropped into a game filled with people between rank 62 and 73. That was an intense game and my team still lost. I hit my damage high score of nearly 20k damage though, so that was nice. The match really highlighted what the difference of an additional 30 hours of using various heroes can make. The person playing as Lucio was especially proficient as the enemy team healer.

My main/most used characters from each class are McCree, Hanzo, Winston and Lucio... although after they nerfed McCree (Sure, he was overpowered against tanks, but now he's useless against squishies like Tracer too! They kinda' overnerfed him, and tons of people agree!) I decided to move onto Genji, and honestly, I've been having fun learning how to play him, deflecting Bastion's turret shots back and killing him instantly is so satisfying, not to mention his ultimate makes you feel like an epic samurai if you do it right, as shown this highlight I made into a .gif;

... Can't believe I didn't even get Play Of The Game for it!

Does anyone else on here play on PC? I could do with more people to play with... 

How do you capture your highlights? I'm on PC here too.

I guess it does! But I fully expect them to release more skins for the characters.
