I play Elimination the most out of any playlist and the changes are interesting for sure. It makes every game super unpredictable and I kind of wish both versions were kept, but I get the whole reason is to prevent one team from being assholes the entire game.

 

[Cels]

lul tracer got an additional legendary event skin even though she has more legendary event skins than everyone else

at least pharah, hanzo, symmetra finally got theirs...only took a year

 

[El Sabroso]

I don't play Tracer at all and have gotten all her event skins. I never fail to pull the Tracer skin.

I don't play her either but failed to get the summer games, it's sad

 

[SargerusBR]

Just realized Hanzo is Jetstream Sam from MG Rising.

NEED IT

 

[Iadien]

How big is the patch?

1.3GB I think it said.

 

[ultracal31]

I'm amused by the Bastion dance emote is called the Robo Boogie

 

[Sai-kun]

symmetra and tracer won this update yall

fuuuuckin rad

 

[Vital Tundra]

Thats immediately what came to my head.

Also I don't "get" D.Va's skin. Her outfit looks like a cool 50's greaser thing but her MEKA looks like something else entirely.

Am I missing something?

MEKA is designed to look like a car from the 50s. The color scheme and general look of it matches the outfit perfectly.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I see what you did there, Blizzard.

Spoiler

I also would like to see a Zelda game in the future.

 

[Son Of D]

Not really surprised Tracer got a skin. It's an event celebrating 1 year of Overwatch and she's the poster girl/mascot for the game.

How big is the patch?

1.646GB on PS4. I assume it's the same for all platforms.

It's also the symbol of the Hojo clan in Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hōjō_clan

I can sort of see that on the upper legs but it doesn't really work when you move that kind of design over to what is usually a futuristic mech.

 

[I-hate-u]

Lucio's new skin have new jazz inspired healing/speed songs

 

[Pilgrimzero]

I want Lucios and I don't even play him.


And that DVa!

 

[PAULINK]

Don't care about the skins but ffs I need all of the dance emotes

 

[Puru]

Maybe it's time to grind 120 coins and get that genji skin.

 

[FusedAtoms]

Jesus Christ what have they done to my 3v3 mode 😢😢😢😢😢😢

 

[Karsticles]

Lucio's new skin have new jazz inspired healing/speed songs

:-O Damn it, I wish I could have the new songs with his other costumes. I love the frog too much to give it up.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

These skins and emotes are so fun and hilarious. I love this stupid game.

 

[Psychoward]

What did they do? It was a trashfire before so I have to imagine any changes are for the better.

 

[Darryl M R]

I'm not feeling the Genji skin especially after his Blackwatch skin just came out.

So in 3v3 you can't pick the same hero if you win with them? That sounds lame. I became a better Genji player by playing that mode only with him.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I never want to be lured into playing Genji more often and becoming what I hate but...that skin, I MUST RESIST!

Happy Lucio got a good one, I'm all for it.

 

[therealist]

So many skins but I am rarely motivated to go into the hero menu and change the skin. I just want to jump straight into games. They need to allow you to change skins on the hero select menu before the game starts.

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

Posted in other thread so posting here as well, im pretty sure the d.va dancing emote is referencing that robot chicken voltron dance off sketch, compared it side by side by using d.va's dance video on the overwatch anniversary page and its pretty close

 

[NeoForte]

Some nice skins and dances; but man do some of the dances feel kinda... lazy? Like McCree's Line Dance? I dunno. The update kinda feels a bit light. Not everyone got a skin, no new poses or highlights and only 1 new sticker for each character.

That being said, I am absolutely getting Mei and Sombra's dances and spam them to hell.

 

[maouvin]

Symm's skin is a beast.

Are the new emotes at regular prices or do they come at an event premium?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

3v3 maps and skins

Probably the least exciting event in Overwatch history.

 

[Baleoce]

Looks like a cross between an astronaut and a bee keeper.

 

[Clipse]

Not feeling any of those skins, but I will still buy 100 boxes like I always do for these events lol.

 

[Ullus]

Ana snubbed again. : (

 

[Gaspard]

Lucio's new skin have new jazz inspired healing/speed songs

Is this true?

 

[Bulzeeb]

Looks like a cross between an astronaut and a bee keeper.

well the little robot looks like a bug/bee so I guess its more the later, anyways, I want that Genji skin, I dont care if I suck with him, that looks really cool

 

[Swiggins]

Not feeling any of those skins, but I will still buy 100 boxes like I always do for these events lol.

Clipse...it's time to admit you have a problem.

We all love you and that's why we're here today.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Looks like a cross between an astronaut and a bee keeper.

Its called " beekeeper "
and it's in the future sooo

 

[slash3584]

Is there any more stuff happening before the event finished or is this all?

 

[KZXcellent]

Fuck it, spent $100. Got all the skins and most of everything else. Very satisfied with my mistake.

 

[I-hate-u]

Is this true?

[rackham]

Genji and 76 look sick. Hope Ana gets more love. Anywhere I can see all of the rewards??

 

[FusedAtoms]

When you win a round every character that your team played is locked for the rest of the game.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Fuck it, spent $100. Got all the skins and most of everything else. Very satisfied with my mistake.

Pretty bad move. Should wait until the end of the event.

 

[Baleoce]

haha there we go then! (i'm still downloading the 1.32GB patch on a 2MB internet connection >_>)

 

[KZXcellent]

Is this true?

Yeah, sounds like he goes nuts on a trumpet when you're speedboosting and it's more clam and soothing for healing.

 

[cat litter]

These will be available again next year right?

 

[Gaspard]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea0A-ui6UG0#t=01m11s

Noice

 

[OdysseusVA]

Two boxes with crap

 

[KZXcellent]

Pretty bad move. Should wait until the end of the event.

I don't play enough to where it would matter much at all.

 

[Gurrry]

These will be available again next year right?

We dont really know how they will handle skins from events since we havent had a repeat event yet. We all assume that during the next haloween or xmas event that the old skins will be put into the loot boxes, but then again, we all assumed these anniversary skins wouldnt be timed exclusive either.

They have also talked a lot about making skins feel important. They dont want everyone running around in the same skins. So these skins might never be obtainable again, no one really knows at this point.

 

[QuantumSquid]

I think I need hoodie tracer.

 

[Fitz]

Genji and 76 look sick. Hope Ana gets more love. Anywhere I can see all of the rewards??
