Lesson Learned, Don't Get Distracted In Overwatch :/

Underworld Event

1 day left and haven't even complete even one modifier on legendary. There's no hope 🫠

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

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

The Decline of the Anniversary Event, Part 3

The final remix event took place in August and just...ugghhhh

Tada, here are the Rem-mixes...

I just...

I'm literally studying concept and character design and I would get fail for plagiarism if I tried something like this.

As usual, here are the originals. You won't be surprised to see another skin that already has a twin colour pallet worm it's way in here.

It's not like there are literally dozens of skins that don't have twin skins Blizzard.

But really.

You do you.

Some real classics in there, skins I know people really adore. Then they go and get those crappy remixes. It just makes me wander what Blizzard was thinking.

I'm not as mad about the weekly challenges this time, for the purely selfish reason that I skipped the last two special events because I thought the skins were mid and was glad for another chance to get them.

I can understand why Blizzard would want to give new players the opportunity to get these skins, but it also feels like laziness wrapped up in false generosity. It still miffs me when I realise we got absolutely NO new, original, content for three whole events.

But, I guess it doesn't compare to this years Anniversary event.

For starters, there isn't even a trailer on their YouTube for it. Nor is there a separate post for each week on their Instagram.

I was busy during the first week, *cough* playing Baldurs Gate 3 *Cough* and I didn't get a chance to earn any of the rewards of SS the information, so this is all I got for week one.

In the first week the Winter Brawls and the Battle for Olympus mode came back and they had a series of challenges and rewards tied to them. Most of the rewards were pitiful credits, which are still a pretty dead currency even with the anniversary shop being open (for only a month). Everything still costs a steep price even if the currency is credits. Other than that it you can earn the classical hero icons for Junker Queen and Sojourn. The big reward here is the Echo highlight intro.

Wait.

That's weird.

I can't find the skins.

What?

Where did they go?

Oh wait-

There they are, costing as much as paid for OW1.

Oh yeah, here's the anniversary store, where you can buy everything with 'credits'.

The only skins you could buy with credits were the space raiders ones, the Ice Angel skin, the Art Deco skin, the Pearlescent skin and the Infinite ace. The Beekeeper and Hermes skins still cost real money, they're just discounted.

I can't say for certain those are all the credits skins though. I had the space raider skins on pre-order and I bought the infinite ace when it came out.

Anyways, here's week 2.

Once again, we have returning events, nothing new, and a series of challenges to complete. More classic golden player icons, a few credits and a Junker Queen victory pose.

It's not really screaming, quantity is it?

Finally, week 3.

Finally, in week 3 we see the return of the Summer Games modes and the mischief and magic game mode. The rewards are mostly the same with the golden player icons and credits, but finally, finally, we're presented with our first free skin. The cursed captain Reaper skin!

Hooray.

A single skin.

Lucky us.

Honestly.

Blizzard started out with 11 free legendary skins you could get through loot boxes, and now all hey offer is a card machine and a single free skin?

Do better Blizzard please.

I'm literally paying the price of OW1 for every skin I buy.

It's just getting ridiculous.

Apex Legends manages to have loot boxes and a battle pass, so why can't we?

I simply ADORE the way this artist draws them <33333

Can someone tell me why Blizzard thought this was a good idea??

Why is the 2023 anniversary player icon just wilding at the top of the menu, instead of being in chronological order??

Some more dvattra doodles (plus a bonus zen)

I realise I haven't posted in days and I have a perfectly reasonable excuse for that... Baldurs Gate 3 ✨

I'm usually on the fence when it comes to hero Re-works but this acc sounds decent??

I AM DECEASED
