There are a few characters that, in my opinion, could have had much cooler alternate skins--especially considering Blizz's Heroes of the Storm skins, which they typically knock out of the park.

Torbjörn, Tracer, Lúcio, Mercy. A li'l disappointing. But I'm really hoping to get one of the McCree skins or that Genji desert dude getup.

I'm ashamed to say I never even made the connection. *Man* it's nice to snipe without fear of a backstab.

@bbalpert: I love Zarya, but I do not like her alt skins at all for some reason.

I do enjoy all the "totally not Paladin armor" skins for Reinhardt, though. So take my opinion with a grain of salt.

@mike: Thanks. Just when you think she's got enough hangtime....

I nominate "Drama System" as the official term going forward.

I wondered the same things as Jeff, but with a tad less antagonism. Without any numbers crunched, I'm skeptical that Blizzard would risk the impending controversy ("Blizzard eSports Game is rigged!!!1!1") but every time I sit down with the game I'm struck by how much momentum flip-flopping goes on. Like... possibly a suspicious amount.

For the Magic uninformed, can you elaborate on some things Magic does better than Hearthstone? I'm not arguing, I'm just interested to know more.

@adequatelyprepared: I stumbled (heh) onto that when trying to put some space between me and a Soldier 76. It pushed him away and pushed me back too. Do you know if it does damage to Pharah if she's in the radius of the blast?

@cav829: I am right there with you.

Have you had that moment where certain TF2 cues make you automatically do certain behaviors? How did it work for you?

Here are a few I did:

• First thing with JunkRat: "I wonder if I can sticky jump with this mine...." Result: Success!
• With Pharah: "I wonder if I can rocket jump...." Result: Not really, and why did I even try that if she can fly?
• With Lúcio: "I see that there is a rocket coming at me. I wonder if I can airblast it back at Pharah....?" Result: Definitely not.
• I also catch myself trying to double jump with Tracer.

The more I read about this game and play different characters, the more I realize the depth of the individual characters and the combinations / matchups between their powers. What are some character tips that other players might not know?

Mine: Apparently, D. Va's defense matrix can stop Hanzo's ult--but only if it's still an arrow and hasn't yet turned into dragons.

(edit: Sorry if I messed up the "answerable question" checkbox. I'm not 100% certain when to use/not use.)
