i like the new zarya and widow skins so i'm hoping to pull them both from boxes! but i should have enough coins by the end of the event if i don't.

i'm not really into the event arcades, especially mei's snowball offense but i really need that reward spray you get for the new Hot Hand achievement so ill be grinding that and hopefully ill get lucky at some point. /o\

i didn't know there was a new achievement, that spray is super cute! but i'm in the same boat as you, i don't like the arcade events for the most part and the winter ones are....not my favorite. Mei is bae though so i have to try, at least...

theres three new achievements actually! two for snowball offense and one for the other mode, but i only really care about the one i mentioned earlier :^)

i managed to get the achievement yesterday ! i think it took me about 6 or 7 matches to get it so thats not.. too bad i think! you got this

I love the new Mercy skin!! I'm sad I don't play her as much any more, though.

The Junkrat one is very unsettling though, I don't know why.

I love ALL the new skins for this event. Zarya's is my favorite, but not by much! I haven't had a chance to play very much; I'm not super interested in the seasonal events so I'll probably just grind Mystery Heroes for loot boxes.

I love the main menu music, though. I started playing during 2016's winter event, so it brings back memories of the experience being fresh and exciting.

Yeah, I think they really hit it out of the park this time. I had multiple insta-buys - not just Widowmaker's.

Honestly, I think in a lot of ways Torb is the big winner. His new emote is bloody hilarious.

Literally all I want for Christmas is Figure Skater Symm but I haven't gotten it yet. :(((( I don't even play her that often, but it's so pretty!

The Junkrat is nice, and that's one of the better Zarya skins, but I don't feel particularly compelled to get any of them. I suppose that's good because I'm always away for more than half of the event and would have to spend gold otherwise. I'm holding out for the skins for New Years, which I've tended to like more.
