Single highlight intro and only 4 base recolors for Venture is definitely a new low. While Kiriko gets her 7th highlight intro and her 9th victory pose for whatever reason. And a new skin too.

You know good and well why.

Ana Talon skin is incredible. Will be my default for the foreseeable future.

Also healthy reminder that you can get your drops watching Eskay dig all around the map.

I feel like I asked this before but if I buy the standard pass now, at no point it would make the other pass (paid in EUR) any cheaper right_?

Someone explain this new game mode. Fun and chaotic but I had no idea what I was doing lol

Pretty straight forward mode, there are 5 points in a line on the map, if one side captures all point either capping A or E they win otherwise there is a counter at the top and the first team to cap 5 points total wins.

Mercy's Mythic in 1st person... damn! It's amazing! The VFX are sooo good. I am just disappointed about the default voice lines having her normal voice.

man, the BP purchase is always buggy. Had to quit out or the unlock animation kept looping. Now I need to wait for it to kick in like last season.

Clash is great. The new UI options, great.

Tank role still as terrible as ever, yikes.

Ball changes are ok but not good for the game when you have Tank like Rein that can't do shit about shit.

Did they get rid of the $10 battle pass + skin bundle? I think I remember something about buying the battle pass directly was better than spending coins on it but I don't remember if that was a rumour or real.

Clash is really fun. I'm honestly surprised considering how ass Flashpoint is. That mode needs a rework. It's so frustrating when you wipe the enemy team only for them to spawn closer to the point…

New mode is like overwatch for the impatient lol, a forever war with no downtime.

New season, same "oh boy, I sure hope sombra doesn't spend all game messing with my support arse exclusively, oh I do love being solo ulted, killed, and then spawn killed"
Please, please, please absolutely gut this character

okay, Clash is super fun mainly cuz capturing points is one and done and way less downtime than Flashpoint. Just a fast breezy mode.

Steam user? This happens to me every season(since Steam launch).

PS5 - i should wait a day next season before buying. It finally kicked in now.

Shout out to the damage on my team picking venture to then deliberately not play and prevent the other DPS from giving them a go

And pairing me with the same diffed tank 3 times in a row (what is matchmaking?!)

Maybe I should come back in a couple of weeks instead, worst foot forward so far, yeesh

I got suspended for leaving a comp match even though 2 players from my team had already left???? And I received a penalty to my endorsement. Did they change this? What's the point. No one benefits from staying in a 3v5.

In a comp match there should be a pop up telling you how long you have to wait until it's safe to leave. If you waited for that to essentially tell you it's safe to leave, I'd just submit a ticket. I've done that before for a game where I dc'd but returned and won but the game still marked my comp progress as a loss. Took a bit of arguing but they worked with me.

You have to wait 2 minutes after others leave. It might be connection problems and they're coming back.

Bruh 80 dollars for a Mythic skin oof. Glad I got them all so far.

Also evil Mercy is kind of a letdown. The other Mythic skins had booming voices or echo effects. She's just angy.

Yeah no, I know. I did but I still got suspended without the option to rejoin. There was no countdown, so it might just have been bugged.

As a designer, it feels worse than before because you are unlocking points for a separate shop instead of straight up unlocking it in the battle pass.

That said, getting the choice of Mythic for someone I actually use is net improvement.

Damn they cooked with this BP, I am definitely getting it (I skipped like 3 passes before that).

The price for mythics is clearly aimed towards very impatient people. I don't really like certain mythics like Hanzo, Orisa, so if they introduced that shop I'd have bought more BPs just to hoard some mythic points.
