some people are blowing the loot box problem way out of proportion. if the government does end up doing anything about it, they’re just going to end up banning games completely, like that time they banned pinball because it was considered gambling.

I think they changed it so you don’t really have a chance to get a duplicate unless you have all items of that rarity (I believe)

The Christmas event is the one Overwatch event where I don’t seem to have any problem resisting the temptation to buy lootboxes. I got the Ana skin I wanted in a regular box early on (and Hanzo’s, fuck him). I have enough gold to buy the Junkrat skin, which is the only other one I really want. I’m just wainting to buy…

This is less of a viable strategy and more of a fun way to screw with people a little bit.

I think that’s the thing that’s boggling everyone’s minds on this article. The tactic is whatever, but it definitely wasn’t pioneered by the YouTube video in this post and it’s a bit funny to attribute it to one person like this.

People have been doing it to a lesser degree. You usually don’t get two symetra on a team.

Ya think? I’ve become accustomed to my status as a kinja leper. Here’s hopin! See ya in Overwatch matey. I’ll be the guy picking that third widowmaker on offense

One day we will chat with each other outside of the gray. One day.

The fact that Winston exists and is a giant monkey with a “instantly destroy all 1HP buildings near you” kind of makes this strategy garbage. The winston in that video sucked, any decent winston could wreck that room with ease.

....People seriously haven’t been doing this already? I am disappointed in you, Overwatch beta-players.

How is this a novel idea when it was literally shown off in one of the earliest Overwatch trailers?
