Overwatch

I've just done my placements and achieved a humble gold, which I imagine is the tier immediately above average.

I'm locked in for a guaranteed 20% of a gun shader. Come on Season 3.

They really amped up the reward requirements. GM required for 3k points? Like holy shit, I was expecting 3k entry at diamond. Still think they could do something more interesting than golden guns honestly, like player icons or something that's account specific.

Oh god. If Reddit would have their way, we'd see swim suit Mercys with fedoras.

Im curios to see what the next event will be after Summer Games. level 193 now so hope for an event with special lootboxes when i turn 200

Also Golden guns are cool but id love to see some really amazing skins that feel more exclusive.

Got ranked 2170 something after my 10 horrible matches and now im 2340. Have had a good streak now and hoping to reach Diamond before the end of the season!

Yeah, weirdly enough player icons are absolutely the category of unlock I like the most. Being able to get a cool Hero specific unlock with a golden gun would make that a lot more interesting to pursue for me.

Had a fun game with a team we kept calling "the new three tank meta": Reinhardt, D.Va, Zarya, Reaper, Zenyatta, Ana. We had enough dps to make up for only having one "official" dps hero, and the three tanks kept us supports alive and kicking ass in the midst of them. We rolled Point A on Numbani in <30 seconds with that comp at the start of the round, before the enemy team knew what hit them, lol. I was somewhat worried long range would be an issue, but Reinhardt's shield plus a good Ana actually kept us just fine.

2950!

...fuck.

edit: nevermind, got diamond. It's all downhill from here

over 2500 now wooop. Goal achieved, Platinum. So happy, we got fucked royally in the first round on Ilios but managed to get the score to 2-2. And then win it. Sweaty as fuck!

I've almost reached 2700, but then had three bad games full of assholes yelling at each other in a row and dropped back down to the low 2500s.

By the way, we are looking for another architecture artist. This entails taking level design blockouts from start to finish and BSP mapping experience is a plus Apply here: http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/…html?id=16000RB

Nice one guys! Good luck in your hunt

Would apply if i thought i had a chance. Fuck off Swedeeen.

Sooooo.... Is overwatch ever getting a map editor?

Would be nice, but I have a feeling Blizzard won't give potential mappers the time of day.

It's a new engine they made just for Overwatch, apparently, so I doubt this would be coming any time soon, unfortunately.

Well it would be a shame. Not that the game won't survive with its stock maps and all the future free updates but TF2 survived very long thanks to that and the community created content.

And I also fking want to make one !

Why would a new engine prevent that from happening? Considering the stabilization in gui frameworks over the last decade a new engine would have the potential to have a pretty nice editor.

I suppose considering it's Blizzard they might not want to expose their dev tools unless they are really slick.

While I'm complaining I would LOVE if they would release a server so I could spin up an instance like a quake/halflife server. I've had some really terrible net performance the last couple weeks in this game.
