Pretty much. I often play against GMs on PS4 and they all use scuf controllers or mouse and keyboards. I use a standard PS4 controller with Kontrol Freeks. They’re all insanely accurate and turn on a dime. So do I but I don’t play highly precise characters as a tank main.
The more I play Quake the more I wish there was strafe jumping in OW. Damn. Makes the game so fast and adds layers of skill to movement.

At what ranking does the meta (and awareness) become a thing on PS4? It’s been pretty absence so far.
Anyone still missing the D.Va skin? Because I’m going to grind the hell out of HotS over the weekend and I need a partner for that. Preferably Europe, but I’m not picky.
@Maryokutai I just finished week 4 quest but I can help you for a couple games.
P.S. D.va is even more cancer in HotS than in OW.
Anniversary event starts May 23 (next week) and ends June 12.
Also:
Free play weekend on May 26-29
Season 4 of competitive ends May 29 at 0:00 UTC (May 28 for NA)
It would be neat, though I’d also love to have rocket-jump in as well.
It would though be easy to see how Battle.net crowd would flip their shit over. Visiting that forum is pure cancer in terms of OW balancing.
I really don’t like having another event so soon after Uprising.
Do we know who’s getting skins?
You start encountering decent opponents somewhere around platinum. People are okay with how team comp works and you’ll find people with passable aim. In diamond people’s aim gets more reliable as well as there team sense. Everything just gets better from there.
Edit: at least on US servers anyway. Never played on European or Asian servers on PS4
Reaper is getting a skin for sure and also the shrugs spray. New Hanzo, Symmetra and Zarya legendary skins are also confirmed. I’d like Pharah to have a new legendary too since she only got reskins in last events.
Sombra and Orisa will be getting the sitting and laughing emotes.
Here’s the list of the number of cosmetics each hero will be getting:

4 for each hero are probably 2 sprays + 2 voicelines. I hope one of the two missing cosmetics for Pharah is a legendary skins since she only got reskins in all of last year’s events.
Force said that he had a QA with Kaplan at an anniversary event in New York. Not only are we getting Sombra’s sit/laugh emotes, we also get them for Orisa, a shrug emote for Reaper, and a new Tracer emote since she had fewer non-event emotes than everyone else.

Just beat a bunch of GMs on Oasis using D.va. Rest of my guys played solid but getting 64 elims to 15 deaths against good competition makes me feel she’s still super strong.
Good news: I made it into Gold (1996 SR)
Bad news: None really, but it was stressful going up and down in SR playing when the Pharah wouldn’t switch after consistently getting dropped by the Widow, the Soldier failing to flank and take out the shield generator on Attack Volskaya after the second point (for some reason they wanted to stay as Symmetra but I switched to Sombra and took out the generator myself since the Soldier kept griping about getting rekt), and no one really capitalized on the EMP’s. I even told the Pharah to switch and the Soldier to not even bother with trying to find the generator and that I’ll do it myself. Hopefully I won’t drop back down to Silver, but it was weird having the other players want me to go Attack Sym when most people would’ve been like, “Fuck that”. Another kept tilting about a Mei constantly taking him out, but overall we kept tilting and it was kinda hard trying to get everyone to STFU, regroup, and actually act as a unit.
I expected them to have better dance skills given their ethnic backgrounds.
Hoping Widow’s dance is some sort of twerk or booty shake.
This game is still made by white people.
Bastion, Pharah, Soldier and Zarya’s new legendaries preview.
I… uh… need a moment to form an opinion about that.
Spoiler
Zarya’s legendary is GARBAGE
