You don't get fast levels anymore its stupid but its because people stopped playing I guess... in a game with no sub fee.. big whoop.

why, its not like you gain quicker xp after you prestiege anymore

I wonder why they stopped to release "double skins", I mean a skin with two coloristic variants. Wouldn't it be cheap and valueable for Blizzard?

Really? Damn it :/

[Perfectdoll]

Nah, they stopped it for exactly that reason, people waiting with playing until events after they got to the first of a new prestige level, so as to have the levels saved for events.

I bet they will save those variant colors for when the holiday rolls around for the second and third time. We could get a new color every year!

dumb question but do the loot boxes i have convert to event boxes or are they separate?

They're entirely new and separate, and the items in the older boxes were generated when the boxes were so there's no real reason to stack them up.

Well, before this event starts, have this video from Mei...ahem, Zhang Yu, showing a New Year gift she got from a Chinese fan https://twitter.com/25yolanda8866/st...19615017238528

Sombra is so good for the new game mode. If you can get that 2 seconds uninterupted on the flag you can teleport half way across the map with it instantly. Then you have you invis/sprint

I wont be playing more of it tho. it is heavily imbalanced towards a small group of heroes.

The next event is Year of the Rooster, which seems to be a Chinese New Year event. New Mei and D.va skins incoming.

I really don't like the Chinese theme stuff. I've got no interest in it.
But their asian market is big so I guess they gotta pander to them too.

jeff on CTF and the event.

[Jessicka]

So, no Widowmaker skin; and then they give her an amazing spray which would have been perfect for a skin. :<

So they couldn't figure out how to balance it so they just gave up and released it anyways.
