Should I hold off on getting the 10 lootboxes from HOTS until the anniversary update for Overwatch comes?

I saw someone playing Sombra correctly and she seems to be one of the most valuable characters for a good push. Especially against a rein.

If I live in the desert area of California, hardwood floors, do I need to use an anti static wristband when building a PC?

Dah best girl.

Nah, anti-static wrisbands are a meme. Unless you're walking on thick carpet or something.

How to fix Genji;
>Remove shurikens, new basic attack is a quick slash with his wakizashi >Increased movement speed to compensate for the loss of ranged attacks

Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes!
Adam Davis
>From the traditional Australian expression: "Don't come the raw prawn!" or "Don't come the raw prawn with me!", meaning: "Don't try to put one over me!" or "Don't treat me like a fool!".
>Particularly used to indicate that the listener is aware of the speaker's ingenuousness, for example where the person to whom it's directed feigns innocence or naivety. Some sources say it is a WWII Australian Army expression. As to why it arose: one suggestion is that the reason lies in cooked prawn being more palatable than raw prawn. However, anyone from a fishing background who has handled raw prawn flesh, will know that it is limp, wet and slippery; like the sort of people at whom this phrase is directed.

It's another "Australian" saying that most Australians go their entire lives without ever hearing in every day use.
Sort of suits Junk though, since he's so aggressively Australian.

I'm betting that a whole new spectator client will come out with the official launch of the OWL.
What do you think will be in it?
Lucas Cox
Is there any better feeling than killing some tryhard Genji main with Symmetra and as he realizes he's about to die, using a desperation deflection and remembering it won't help against her?
William Gomez
More like anyone who doesn't want to deal with a zip-zapping gook who brings nothing but frustration into the game.
I bet you are pro-mesmer too, you animal.

Yes, I occasionally use my Silver smurf, too.

Is older slang any less uncommon in the Outback? If it was a more rural thing nowadays it'd make sense.

Hunter Flores
doing the same with winston, except the genji tries to dash too of course this is futile as you promptly jump on him and dominate him with your gorilla cock
Gavin Reyes
I just played Reinhardt for the first time in months and I really get no satisfaction playing Reinhardt because tanks are so OP compared to offense and defense heroes. It's sad. There is no joy in playing a hero who is blatantly better than all of the dps heroes.
>dps heroes deal chip damage to your shield >you outright beat them at close range by left-clicking them down or charge pinning them >ult just guarantees kills
There is no intensity. It'd be like if Reinhardt were a 7th grader who decided to play football against 2nd graders. The 2nd graders would try to tackle him and he'd just laugh as he walked forward unable to be pulled down. I guess some people really get a kick out of that, but it's just lame. It's too easy. Offense and defense heroes desperately need buffs
Xavier Campbell
Yes. It's especially delicious when they get super salty and bitch in chat about you playing a "no skill hero"
Anthony Moore
Tell me what is Genji's unique role that can't be filled by other offense heroes.
Oh, what's that? Being an insufferable cunt? Well, you got that right.
Caleb Morgan
Yes, kill a tryhard genji as mercy and then witness how he use his ultimate as last resort just to get killed in that same second, >mfw he just wasted an ulti without killing no one >mfw he filled most of my ultimate in the process
Xavier Rivera
Reinhardt is literally the most balanced character in the game
And by balanced I mean all other heroes are balanced around him because he's Blizzard's little pauldron baby
Caleb Perez
Well, I've never lived in a city but I don't live in what anybody would consider the outback either, but I'd say you're definitely more likely to hear "drongo" or other outdated terms used unironically the more rural you get.
I've literally never heard the raw prawn thing before though, even in media. I wonder how Blizzard do their research.
Jaxon Mitchell
His ass. Some idiot on Reddit already datamined the amount of new event unlocks each hero is getting. We also know that Sym, Hanzo and Zarya are confirmed to be getting skins very soon.
ohnickel covers it, and breaks down how the datamining works, in a video.
Jace Johnson

Ayden Carter

tracer fills the insufferable cunt role too
Michael Moore
>Yes, kill a tryhard genji as mercy There's no greater feeling when playing as Mercy than killing the faggot Genji/Tracer/Sombra/etc that's been harassing you all game.
Hudson Cruz
Killing Symmetras who thinks they'll get an easy kill on a Genji until she realizes that he's literally out of her reach so they start jumping in a sad attempt to reach you.
There was one time I did deflect when Symmetra was microwaving me but her team was also shooting at me, so they pretty much killed her for me.
Isaiah Edwards

And Tracer is in need of getting her kit scrapped too. What's your point?
Jeremiah Cooper

Zachary Young
sombra is fucking garbage and a completely wasted pick
believe me i tried, i really enjoy her but she has no place in the meta and no matter how good ur plays are ur team might as well be playing 4.5 vs 6
Evan Brown
You posted the wrong pic. That's not Pharah.
Landon Watson
Tracer fills that role too. So what was it, did Genji kill you when you were Soldier, Reaper, McCree, or Pharah?
Carson Richardson
indeed
Jaxson Phillips
>this hero kills me and therefore needs to be nerfed! Never change owg
Wyatt Perez
Interesting. So either Blizzard really wants to emphasize the Outback part, or they write Junkrat's lines by googling Australian slang and just rolling with whatever they happen to find.
Tyler Long

Kevin Cook
I kill genjies easily and I think he should be removed from the game.
Brandon Wright
I think you need to be removed from the game inb4:t.Genji main
James Gonzalez
He didn't post Pharah because she isn't best girl. He got that right at least.
Liam Cox
>or they write Junkrat's lines by googling Australian slang and just rolling with whatever they happen to find That would certainly explain his "cobber" line, which I'm fairly sure is a British thing. (Although I just checked and google tells me it's Australian so who knows.)
I think he's such a caricature, and the accent is actually fairly solid, that the fact that he uses obscure or inaccurate terms still works. He's an intentional stereotype, at least that's how I view him.
Dominic Hughes
i can't kill genjis and i don't think he should be removed from the game
Chase Wood
>Playing as Mei >Get in front on D.Va spamming M1 >She activates Defense Matrix >Genji tries an approach >Genji tries to deflect my beam
Did I shock them emotionally enough?
Adrian Morgan
He's terribly unbalanced.
I understand what Blizzard is going for, I've played characters similar to Reinhardt in other games, they just did Reinhardt really poorly.
For the piss poor amounts of damage that dps heroes do, 2000 shield is way too goddamn much. It makes his gameplay very passive and there is no threat of being broken down. That feels a lot of adrenaline you could be getting.
Solution to this. Make the shield 1000hp, BUT if multiple targets are firing at your shield, secondary hits to the shield deal reduced damage to it so that he can still block great amounts of damage, but in 1v1 skirmishes you aren't completely unkillable standing behind a 2000hp shield. Then, also, make the shield regen faster so you're more active with that 1000hp shield.
It's funny. The TF2 Heavy's kit is way more basic than Reinhardt, but Heavy is a far more intense "raid boss" type character to play than him. It's exciting because you gotta know when to pop out and shoot at people. You aren't just completely invincible.
Landon Morgan

He should have posted Pharah since that's best girl. He got that wrong from the get-go.

u must be below 2500 sr because its the only place picking sombra would actually work

Do I need to buy a SSD alongside a hard drive when building a PC for the first time?
Logan Bailey
I try really fucking hard to get good at aiming and then my teams just lose.
What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to distract myself from depression but the game's just making me more depressed.
Logan King
Oh I know, but what I mean is Blizzard uses Reinhardt, a terribly unbalanced character, as the measuring stick for everyone else. It's why Sombra does fuck all for damage and Orisa is getting her gun nerfed, because they would make Reinhardt harder to play otherwise, and in Blizzard's eyes this is unacceptable
You should get an SSD for your OS to be installed on. Makes booting up fast as fuck.
Evan Davis
76 should get a Punisher skin so that he and Reaper can rock that partner-look
Brayden Allen
>GOLD SHITTER
LMFAO NIGGER
Leo Wright

Daniel Morris
SSDs are a luxury, if you are limited by money, better put that money into a bigger GPU.
Josiah Rogers
So just install the OS onto the SSD and everything else (games, videos, images, etc.) on the HD?
Leo Richardson
>not using ublock origin
Dominic Murphy
Yeah, he's definitely a stereotype, albeit in the playful Street Fighter sense. I think his VA does a pretty great job of making it sound... maybe not "natural," exactly, but it suits him well.
Dylan Watson
Yes, but the only thing it'll do is make the OS load faster, that's it. If you move a lot of files constantly in an SSD, you will make it run out of writes, which means you won't be able to move or delete any file in it. As I said, an optional luxury, completely unnecesary.
Eli King
I mean, apparently I tried harder than you. You're probably one of those people who thinks she can't kill a Mercy by herself.
Dominic Turner
aim is just something you have to practice a lot.
with teams because of the matchmaking system you will get streaks of bad luck and of good luck you just have to grind it out and not tilt
John Bailey
holy fucking shit there's a city outside temple of anubis
Alexander Reed
Would the lore of this game have been significantly better is Chris Metzen was still the lead writer?
I haven't played any previous games he has written on or anything, so I'm not aware of any examples of good or bad work that he has done.
Was the lore more well rounded when Chu wasn't the lead writer?
Jayden Davis
>Genjibae will never save WaifuMercy from me >implying
Nicholas Gonzalez
Never~
Liam Hernandez
I'm glad Blizzard ignores /owg/'s balance suggestions; you'd remove all fun characters from the game just because you can't deal with them.
Hunter Price
It depends on the size of the SSD. If you have room on it after the OS is installed, you will want to install the games you most play on it too.
SSD's have vastly improved read speeds in comparison to regular hard drives, which means most things ran from an SSD will load faster.
Dylan Brooks
...
Lincoln Richardson
It sounds pretty natural to me. Obviously, it doesn't sound like anybody I hear on a day-to-day basis because it's so thick, but for what the VA/Blizzard is aiming for it's solid.
I've heard worse Australian accents from Australian actors, to be honest.
Dylan Long
If Metzen was in charge it'd be Soldier:76: The Game: The Experience: The Saga.
