Stop watching TV instead.

I have to get ready for the fall convention season but I'm still playing video games!

I'm probably just less responsible though.

The only reason I've fallen off on Overwatch is because other games have crept into my entertainment budget.

I'm going to play more LawBreakers and Starbound this weekend.

Overwatch has legs though. It's not going anywhere.

If you completed your placement matches during Season 1, you will eligible to receive a special spray and player icon. These will be unlocked automatically when you log into your account the first time after the season ends. If at any point during the season you managed to break into the Top 500 players on your platform (and in your region), you’ll receive an extra player icon and animated spray on top of the other seasonal rewards.

Aside from sprays and icons, you’ll also receive a number of Competitive Points based on the maximum skill rating you achieved during the season.

Here’s the Skill Rating (SR) to Competitive Point (CP) breakdown for Season 1:
SR 0-39: 10 CPs
SR 40-45: 20 CPs
SR 46-49: 40 CPs
SR 50-52: 60 CPs
SR 53-55: 80 CPs
SR 56-59: 120 CPs
SR 60-64: 200 CPs
SR 65+: 300 CPs

Time to break 60!

I've really half-assed season 1. I've barely played OW since Starbound dropped. That game is very addictive.

So far I've peaked at 58, but I have less than 100 CP. I'll have to put in some time if I want my gold guns. I've found ranked (in the 50s) to be a much better experience thank quick-play. Is anyone else playing? How is it working out? Solo queue still produces mixed results, but it seems like you have a better chance of matching with cooperative teammates as you rank up.

Woo.. good stuff. In the first year we'll get: hit-box clean-up and a higher tick-rate.

It's not that I don't expect support for such a successful title, but it's like, the kind of support I want.

And 100 wins. I think I'll play out the rest of the season as Tracer.

Pretty happy with the results considering how little I've played lately.

Overwatch's 15 million-plus players are going to see some pretty big changes come the game's second season. First up is how rankings work. The current 1 - 100 skill ranking is going away in favor of a 1 - 5,000 rating that breaks down into seven tiers like bronze, silver, gold and, at the highest level, master and grandmaster -- similar to League of Legends and, most recently, Halo 5: Guardians. Game director Jeff Kaplan says that the idea behind this overhaul is to make it feel less like you're performing poorly overall just because you had a bad night. "We want skill rating to be a gauge of where you are as a player," he says in the video below. "We don't want that number to be the thing you associate with you as a competitive player."

It's because someone with a 60 skill ranking was actually in the top six percent of Overwatch players -- they weren't a D-level player, as our school-focused minds might lead them to believe.

I don't mind them changing ranks... but the motive scares me. It's because Jeff Kaplan doesn't want to hurt your feelings in competitive play. I've never felt like 60 was a low rank. I hope it still reflects skill level to some degree. It was a good season. The only thing they really needed to change is sudden death. That's garbage and it needs to go.

This seems like a complicated solution if that's their motivation. I'm not sure why they can't just show what percentile rank 60 is instead. But hey.. if it's 5000 ranks of MMR that still reflects relative skil.. cool with me.

Breathtaking as always. And the tease of the new map Eichenwalde with the castle in the background.

Yeah... fantastic short. He's just a nature loving robot with post traumatic stress disorder.

Probably my favorite one.

Makes me think Blizzard should just start a movie studio instead :P

Keep the quality on that level and they'd destroy both Pixar and Dreamworks.

I don't know if they have that capacity, but I'd love to see them take on a feature length film in-house. I feel like that would be a pretty rewarding thing for their animation department too. They've developed this amazing internal studio, and I can only imagine that a lot of those guys would love to make a movie.

I feel like a feature-length film would diminish it a bit. I like the morsels of story as they suit the character set-ups, it's a weird space, but I think over-exposure wouldn't do it any favours.

That short was great. Really nice how they can give so much personality to that robot.

And that legendary skin looks nice. I need to get a better skin for Rein.

Eichenwalde up on PTR, haven't triet it yet though.

There's a specific brawl for it with the class restrictions from comp.

She doesn't get picked in competitive because she's a bad pick most of the time. Buffing her ultimate isn't really going to increase her utility. It's not that Mei is bad.. it's just that she doesn't do anything better than anyone else.

They should stop weighing character use so heavily. Nerfing Lucio because he was a go-to pick in Season 1 seems absurd to me. Mercy and Lucio will remain the two most picked characters in the game until there is another hero that can fill their roles. Their currently isn't. No combination of Zen, Ana, or Sym will ever replace Lucio or Mercy. And if they can't think of any ideas for new front-line support characters.. just steal DirtyBomb's medic classes.

If they damage Lucio too heavily, they'll just shift things towards Mercy, and then they'll have to nerf her too because she'll be too popular! I'm already annoyed that they made wall-running mindlessly easy. Lucio is getting pretty dull to play competitively.

I might not play support in S2.
