That is impressive... I'm trash at that game mode! Any tips to share?

Some nice new skins!

Isolate people and see if you can force ice block, and then they're easy pickings for a free kill if they don't escape as they don't have ice block to save themselves.

If there are more than two Mei's, jump away.

Scout their locations once you have three meats, and then quickly jump for 4th meat and jump back to where they are for rage kills.

If you have two meats close together, then try and draw them in as hunters play more aggressive until you have three meats, so you can draw them in, jump to third meat, bubble to protect yourself, jump to 4th and then unleash rage on them.

The new queuing system is a little odd. Play flex once, win and get 4 or 6 (I forget how many) priority passes, that can then be used to shave time off DPS queue. So, you tend to have so many priority passes, I'm playing a lot more DPS. I often still queue 6 to 8 minutes, but I guess it's better than 10+ minutes?

With this, I've been playing a lot of Symmetra recently. I didn't realise, her beam recharges when it hits a shield, so she's great against a Rein or Orisa. Get up to full power and you have infinite beam against a shield, then when that breaks, you melt through the tank in no time! Couple it with a Zen discord orb and it's quite funny. I've gotten better at judging the distance from a Rein that the beam works, but he can't hit you. If you get that, Rein is in big trouble!

I don't think I realised at the time, but this one I think I kill all 6 enemies (if you include the Tracer going down as the game ends) as they run out of time.

I was down around 1,600 on most of my classes, but they're all up around 2,000 again now. I'm not bothered by SR, but I feel this is about where I should be for fair games.

LOL you've got to be kidding me? Is it April 1st?

So pathetic that even after all this time Blizz are continuing to try everything to fix the DPS-centric horribly unbalanced game they have created instead of focusing on making the non-DPS heroes better to play. Amazing

yeah - that's doesn't really fix the issues that cause me to pack OW in.... DPS was far too "powerful" in a team game.

So the result of ActiBlizz sexual harrassment has led to McCree being renamed as he was named after an employee who was implicated:

I don't really care much about the game anymore but have been following the case a bit... Here's my take (not that you or anyone asked but we might as well use this thread for something!)

I think removing the Mcree name makes perfect sense for the sake of the possible women at Blizz still whom perhaps this guy may have victimised - it can't be very nice working on the game when there are references to the guy's name scattered all over everything to do with this character. So if nothing else if it is helping those people feel better then I'm all for it...

However, I find the way in their PR they have tried to spin the whole thing as some kind of noble lore based reason for the name change pretty gross. I don't think it needs to be explained in the game's lore and I definitely don't think they should be making it out to be some kind of heroic act done by the character - he's "finally being true to himself and his team" etc. no, no... what happened is pretty shameful and having to rename the character should not be allowed to be spun into any sort of positive PR

haha couldnt screw up any worse and they have!

Everything about current blizzard is in the toilet, from their holier than thou attitude, utter disdain for the player base of their games, in game RMT, ****** game systems, ****** story telling, butchering of game lore, crap remasters of previous games that are nothing more than cash grabs to stupid changes in-game.. bowls of fruit anyone?

It's so sad seeing how far they have fallen, as some one that enjoyed the Diablo franchise, StarCraft and played WoW for the best part of 16 years I just can't see myself ever going back. I was really looking forward to tbc classic after managing to clear naxx but there's no way I'm giving this company that actively hates their players another £ of my money.

Had to google it. I’m guessing Cassidy Cole is the person in question, so at best he shares his name with her, but even that is stretching the truth beyond thin.

There’s really no need to manufacture screw ups from Blizz, they’re providing plenty of that themselves.
If I’m referencing the wrong person then I do apologise in advance. I searched for Cole Cassidy the porn star and couldn’t find him or her.

The more we hear from employees and those in the know, the more unreal it sounds. Truth really is stranger than fiction.
Sad to see.

I’ve tried that and DuckDuckGo. I found a thread on Reddit about it, but people are mostly mentioning Cassidy Cole. There’s certainly no links.
If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I obviously didn’t look hard enough. Sorry about that. All the same, having the same name as and being named after someone/something are two completely different things. Saying he’s named after a porn star is BS.

To the surprise of no one the next Blizzcon has been cancelled - https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/blizzcon/23738004/reimagining-blizzcon - suppose when there is nothing of note to celebrate about any of your ip's you can hardly have a celebration event showcasing how amazing you are.
