That time of year again where I begrudgingly equip Jazzy.

Your mandatory reminder that Blizzard needs to be cancelled for supporting the oppressive and genocidal chinese government.

I love that Overwatch's birthday window is also mine! 💕

But my Jazz music! I can't heal proper without it! Plus I like his hair better than the rest.
The afro is cool, but I like the more "realistic" looking dreads on Capoeira. My dream hairstyle right there.

And again, is the fact that I think Capoeira's entire outfit is dope, not just the top half lol.

I'm waiting for an Overwatch sale on PSN. Chances that this happens tomorrow?

Really, really, don't like Dragoon Mercy. Looks more like a crocodile armor and her head is just weird.

Ashe looks so much like Ciri for some reason with that skin.
I'm probably just gonna grab the Doomfist anniversary skin finally with my coins.

I wish someone other than Mercy got a new skin. She's got enough already!

Yeah, some of the newer characters barely have any.

Also whoever designs Zen's skins needs a raise. No other character has had so consistently amazing skins.

That Zen skin looks exactly like what the Zandalari Trolls wear, same exact art style. Smart way to re-use assets

Do you chance your outfit based on the event? Lol.

That's fun. Might try that.
I actually change all of Lucio's cosmetics to match the appropriate holiday; gotta get in the spirit! My skin routine:

Summer Games: Striker only
Anniversary: A mix between Jazzy and Bit-Rate
Halloween: Was Philadelphia Fusion's skin until Gorgon dropped.
Winter Wonderland: Andes and Arctic Fox
Lunar New Year: Vermelho until Samul Nori dropped.

How is OW now days?

Still cauldron of pure human toxicity and bile where you get yelled at by 9 year olds how they will fuck your mom and you need to go kill yourself because you didn't do MLGpro720NoSc0pe play?

Overwatch's toxicity is generally different. People are desperate to find reasons why the match isn't working out (it's never their fault, of course) and blame whoever they think is the problem, and a lot of times it's passive-aggressive bullshit. Targets can be random too: DPS being blamed when the tanks aren't pushing correctly, supports being blamed when the DPS are overextending, etc.

However, I think the nature of the game's appeal and knowledge of its toxicity tempers it compared to shit like Rainbow Six. Most of the time chat is either useless banter, terrified shouts, actual callouts, or some mix of. I feel comfortable to a degree talking.
