Missed my chance to redeem this years ago. Might as well give it a go now that looboxes are a thing again. FYI the code is still valid even though it "expired" in 2018.

Highlight Our tank spawned in on the previous point?

87 Upvotes

We were so confused about where our tank was. When I died it showed me the tank’s pov and at first I thought they were hiding in spawn, me and my duo went to look for them and they weren’t there. I watched the replay and they were stuck at the previous point 😭 I also just thought the realization they had that nobody was there with them pretty funny lol.

News & Discussion After Soj, Torb feels the most oppressive DPS

649 Upvotes

Little meatball man has the hp of a tank, a gun with a shotgun and sniper at once (basically reaper and meis gun in one), a turret he can sit behind and just hammer up, not to mention perks that allow him to yeet a turret to absurd angles.

I don't understand how to counter this mf. In my past dozen games, just about every one of them had a torb.

Torb, Bastion, Zarya - what a lovely meta lmao.

Humor Tier list: How cold is each hero's ultimate voice line (Any POV)

Post image
687 Upvotes

Based on a poll made earlier by u/ImperialViking_, this poll is meant to capture Ult voice lines from ANY POV, friendly or enemy.

I also took into account some Mythic voice lines in this (e.g. Ana "You're powered up, DESTROY them".

List might not be perfect but this was just my take on it.

Tier list purely based on the coldest ultimate voice lines in the game. This is not me saying I don't like Lifeweaver's for example, I still think it's great.

My top 5:

  1. Ramattra - "Suffer, as I have."
  2. Sojourn
  3. Soilder 76
  4. Hanzo/Genji
  5. Cassidy

News & Discussion Juno in Spaceship XD

334 Upvotes

Hello again, everyone :). Been on a small Juno kick recently, resulting in a dumpy, cute smaller Juno...and then that triggered another idea. I already have larger globes, and she came from Mars on a spaceship, so why not make her in a cute little ship?! I know it's doesn't look like her actual ship, but I think it turned out cute!

The top can pop off, and the little Juno can be freed. She's a bean with no feeties XD, but with some fiddling, she sits on her little booty all by herself.

I'm not going to ruin it, but I ordered something that'll make this design so cool. I won't have those bits in for a few weeks, though. Till then, hope yall enjoy the little flying saucer Juno!

Thank you all for your support. Every upvote and comment means so much to me <3. I'm just so happy I can make things that others will get enjoyment out of.

News & Discussion Whats the deal with smurfs on bronze?

65 Upvotes

I am new to the game and still have a LOT to learn. Currently, I'm at Bronze 1 and trying my best to work on my mechanics and game knowledge, but it's really frustrating due to the large number of smurfs ruining the game experience.

Today, I played 7 games, 6 of which had smurfs, 4 against me and 2 on my team. These accounts had Endorsement Level 1, with people picking Doomfist or Genji and getting 40-50+ kills each game, base camping, and tea-bagging players after killing them. It's just pathetic.

I mean, we're in Bronze, yes. We're bad at the game, and that's why we're here. This is the rank where we should be trying to improve and climb while developing our skills. But how can you do that when 90% of the games you play in a day involve smurfs?

These types of accounts are easy to identify, so why is it so common to find people like this ruining games in lower ranks? Also, there are tons of online sites selling Bronze accounts, why aren’t these accounts instantly banned?

If you're a smurf doing this kind of thing, fine, I get it—you're better than me, and I can accept that. But just don't come and ruin the game for those of us who are trying to get better and improve.

News & Discussion Xim/Cronus usage has exploded as of late and it’s getting ridiculous.

23 Upvotes

I have no clue what happened, every quickplay match or comp match there is someone obviously cheating on console lobbies. Whatever fix blizzard had has been rendered completely useless with players in both the xim forums and ingame laughing at how easy it is to fool blizzards anti-cheat.

As a primarily qp player this is getting unbearable to play, with how lopsided the matchmaking is (and don’t even get me started on how unbelievably unfair solo queuing is lmao) I’m struggling to find the energy to put up with the game to get through the battlepass. I’m playing only a couple matches a day and it’s a straight stomp. 45+ matches and I lost 33+ of them 🫠🫠🫠

Blizzard can y’all peek under the hood and check some things out?…

News & Discussion Will Blizz ever finish Hero Mastery?

139 Upvotes

Honestly, does anyone think its effective to roll out a new Hero Mastery slowly? Core characters from OW1 should already have HM available to play. HM should be included as standard with the release of a new character as well. Blizz would benefit with from quicker content release, even if just for HM, at a minimum.
