If part of the purpose of xp globes is to provide a more visual representation of xp I think there should be some consistency w xp gathered from last hit.
Right now it looks like waves randomly drop xp globes and if I was a new player I’d find that confusing. The xp gathered from last hit should still have some globe type animation and sound imo
Agreed let the shinies go to the people
If theres anything I’ve learned from hots quests its that dings make me happy
Devs are hacking our monkey brains, using shinies to teach us tricks.
People still fail miserably in soaking that my D.Va gets top soak of 10k while everyone else is stuck on 2000. 
Give exp globes the same quest ding as Tychus minigun quest, people will get addicted to soaking exp.
You already see the xp number popping and see no globes.
