I haven't gotten any anniversary skins yet, only Rein and Torb's dances and Rein's Greifhardt skin, if only it were an event legendary instead. I won't be able to afford to buy any of the skins I want with coins because of the triple cost, but I need to make sure I at least buy Mei's Hare Hare Yukai dance if I don't get it from a box. If I could pull the Genji, Lucio, Tracer, or Zarya skins that'd be cool, though.

 

At least Reaper's Shrug emote/victory pose aren't part of the event so I can buy those for normal coin price and don't have to worry about pulling them during the event.

 

EDIT: Got Mei's emote out of the next box, that's 750 coins I don't have to spend.

Well, got 6/10 wins this time around, at 3100. It really doesn't seem to have much of an impact anymore, so I am not really too worried about my ranking, not that I really was in the first place, I just want to get the gold weapons really. Haven't gotten any new emotes or skins though, which sucks, but I guess I should be happy with what I have.

So what do you guys think about the upcoming changes?

 

The Roadhog changes are of course a bit of good and bad, not being able to one shot a squishy off a hook grab nearly as consistently sucks, but the increased firing rate and extra shot in the magazine is pretty darn awesome. Having a smaller headshot hitbox is pretty big, too, especially when you're wanting to heal under fire.

 

And I love the Reaper change. It gets you slightly less overall healing when attacking a squishy, but you get healing while actually fighting them which is more helpful, and it makes him even better at killing tanks. Death Blossom will be much harder to shut down without an Anna grenade to cancel the healing, too. Potentially 204 health per second (more if you're Nanoboosted or getting extra heals from Anna's grenade) is pretty good.

 

The Deadeye buff is nice, I'm hoping it'll be enough to make it a better ult.

 

Moon level looks nice, too. I like the interactive telescope.

I don't play Roadhog that much anyways, so kind of null on his changes. I do like the magazine increase though. Don't care much for Mccree either. But Reaper, it's a mix of skepticism and optimism, as Reaper's one of my favorite Offense heroes; I just don't know if the gradual heal will be better. I'll see once the change is implemented.

 

43 Loot Boxes total now. NO Anniversary skins in these 6.

 

I also didn't do well on placement maches, only winning half of them. But I have gotten much better at playing Zenyatta and Symmetra. Finding better places to deploy Shield Generators, Teleporters, Sentry Turrets, and going killing Genji has never been easier. And Zenyatta gets rid of practically anyone. So satisfying to kill Bastion from a distance or Roadhog.

Got a total 49 this weekend. No anniversary skins in these. Just got 7 today from Arcade, making for 56, but only opened 6 out of the 7 I got today. In the very last one, I got D. Va's Anniversary (Cruiser) skin!

 

Any luck on your end, everyone?

Nope, 15 opened, still nothing. Though, that could be because I haven't played it in ages due to the fact I need batteries for my controllers. Someone I know has the Cyberian Zarya.

Hell yeah. I'm gonna grind out so many boxes.

Oh yeah!

 

Just noticed later this Thursday. A total of 61 and no Anniversary skins in these 6. But I've almost got 6 more thanks to the exp increase, so I'll just be grinding until I pull an Anniversary skin I want (Tracer, Mei, Genji) from any of these boxes.

 

Just opened 6 today: No Anniversary skins in any of these either.

87 total Loot Boxes and no Mei, Tracer, or Genji Anniversary skins in any of them. Only one I got today was Soldier 76's, and I don't even really like this one. I was hoping getting one of them before buying any. But the event's almost over for me. So I just bought Tracer and Genji's. Sad I didn't get Beekeeper, but I guess Chang'e looks better anyways.

I missed the entire event.  My parents finally put a bottleneck on the internet to keep us from gaming.  So, I can't play multiplayer games anymore.  :(

Dam, harsh parents. Any specific reason why they would do that or are they the kind of parents that think videogames turn people into zombies?

Seems like an odd decision. Unless you're playing something that has to stream in new content or something, online gaming doesn't use up much bandwidth at all for the most part. Shooters like Overwatch typically use less than 100MB/hr, while something like Netflix or YouTube can use many many many times that. Is your internet plan just really bad or something?

They are the kind of parents that think videogames turn people into zombies... *sigh*

No, they bottlenecked it by creating a go-between from the computers to the actual router, so a subrouter which acts as a bridge to the internet... it mucks things up.

I messed up.

 

Today was the last day for the event for me. Remember how I bought Genji and Tracer's skins? Well, today, one of the Loot Boxes I opened had Genji's Sentai skin. I really should've waited.

In my final 4 lootboxes I got beekeeper mei. Not my fave skin but I'll take what I can take/ I hope the next event will have something to do with the lore like Uprising. Your thoughts?

This made me laugh or at least brought a smile to my face. The skin you got was the only skin left that I wanted but couldn't get.

I was reading a thread in the subreddit about inconsistencies between ults activating and the character getting killed during the activation, and whether they lose the ult or not. Genji being the main complaint since if you kill him too quickly upon him activating his ult he doesn't lose it pretty consistently. And I see one comment that managed to get 4 reddit golds and I just had to share it.

 

"My very least favorite part about this is when I'm playing Lucio or Zen as soon as genji starts screaming about his friend eugene I press Q. So if it gets shut down suddenly he's back with ultimate 20 seconds later I don't have mine. Which is total bullshit, honestly."

 

funking Eugene, that's so damn funny. Now I'm never not gonna hear Eugene now whenever Genji ults.

My god. That reminds me. If you miss Mei's timing, she technically uses her ultimate, but nothing happens. It's occurred too often where I'll use Blizzard and then someone kills me in mere seconds. Thus, it doesn't register.
