My Duo Calls Lag Non Consensual Movement 😂😂

Archives Event - Part 5

The 2021 Archives event took place from April 6th to April 27th.

Like the event last year, we did not get a new brawl. Instead we got three more mission modifiers:

Bulletproof Barriers, is pretty self explanatory. the barriers are bulletproof. Sympathy gains, damaging the enemy heals the enemies around them. (I think I erased this archives even from my memory I'm not gonna lie...) and then Thunderstorm, enemies damage all nearby players. I honestly can't remember if that means the player is damaged from being in the proximity of the enemy, or if the enemy's damage acts like's mercy's ultimate and spreads from character to character.

Well...

At least the skins managed to make a come back this year. Like the first three years, this year they decided to stick to an actual theme, which I think personally works a lot better than just making random skins like they did in 2020.

Once again, we only got 5 skins, but, these skins are great. I think at first glance, they're visually appealing, but then when you take a closer look, you realise that they're pretty historically accurate. Now, I'm no expert on Russian, Japanese, American or French history, (though I'm a bit more familiar with French history since it's so closely related to my own countries in certain periods). But surprise, surprise, they teach British history, in British schools, and boy, oh, boy, does that Tracer skin make me happy.

So, kudos to the design team for this one, amazing skins.

Finally, what you definitly were not waiting for, are the weekly challenges. Again, I'm fairly sure I have all these skins, but I think I've just erased it from my memory.

Well, apart from the Mercy skin, I use that one from time to time. But... honestly, making Zen a submarine? That's a unique choice, and the biker Lucio? Again... not really the look I would have pegged on him, but who am I to talk?

Conclusively, this year got slightly worse than last year, with the skins saving their ass pretty much. But you know what they say, quiet whilst you're ahead, and that's what Blizzard did, because this was the last Archives event. Well done, Blizzard, you got rid of your best event. Bravo.

Good morning everyone how is your morning going? This is how mine is going 🙃

Throwback to OW1 when me and my duo threw to Silver and actually got stuck 😮‍💨😂

(Miss you portraits and old rank symbols 😘😘 AND OW1)!!

When the DPS is lacking...

Played a game this morning, where I was switching between Anna and Mercy, I had around 15k heals by the end of the game and our second support was maybe 10-13k? I wasn't really paying attention to their heals. Our tank was you know... slightly unaware like most tanks are, but they were doing all right when they remembered to stay with the team, and on defence they were smashing it. Our Junkrat was pulling it out of the bag and popping off, but what was our other DPS? I literally can't tell you... they did so little and were so unmemorable that I can't even remember what hero they were playing. The opposite team had this literal god widow as well, and I was having to play super carefully because as soon as I peaked, I would get killed. The Junkrat was super on it when he could and killed the widow a handful of time, but our other dps really let the team down, and in the end because he couldn't kill the widow, she picked off both of us supports and we lost the game.

Basically, F u Blizzard >:(

So, let me see if I've got this straight.

When Overwatch 2 launched last October, it was framed by Blizzard as a PvP-only early access preview of a game which would eventually include a substantial PvE campaign, to be added in a later patch.

Today, Blizzard's representatives admitted not only that the PvE campaign mode has been scrapped, but that the internal decision to do so was made in late 2021 – meaning they'd been knowingly lying about the game's planned feature set for nearly a year at the time of the October 2022 early access launch.

Is that about the size of it?

Round 2... 5 stars somehow 🤷🏼‍♀️

hehe

Edgy emo team….

And then there’s mercy

Overwatch Custom Games are Horrible...

I don't usually spend much time queuing in overwatch 2, which I kinda miss ngl. I used to get so much done between queues in Overwatch 1. Besides the point though. The DPS queue was looking a little longer so I decided to take a gander at the custom games, since me and my duo partner are old 'the floor is lava' and 'murder mystery' pros (you don't get gems like those anymore...). To my horror, the first thing that pops up on the custom games menu is, and I quote, 'Sexual Harassment Simulator'????? Like what the actual fuck?? I knew overwatch was far gone, but this far? I am honestly terrified of overwatch men in more ways than one.
