I tried Reaper for the first time today. Holy poo poo is he fun. I just wish his voice lines were better.

Reaper really needs an alt voice pack that's just Kieth Ferguson rereading all his lines using the Bloo voice from back when he was on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. It would go a long way in making Reaper actually appealing.

I wouldn't mind a Ned Kelly skin for Roadhog, either.

Am I missing something about Winston? His shield might as well be styrafoam, and the cooldown is ridiculous at over ten seconds. On top of that, his super only really shines on maps with lots of pits to work with.

3 Minutes Ago Report: I and another goon were in a party on PS4 in competitive KotH. We stomped first round, went to 99/99 and lost round 2 due to pubbies not grasping the new Overtime fuse timing, stomped round 3, and then round 4 happened. We were going swimmingly with 75/0 when we killed off three very aggro players at once, which was suddenly interrupted by "THE SERVER CLOSED DUE TO AN UNEXPECTED ERROR," which flushed us back to the title screen.

Was that just really poo poo luck on our part, or is there a way to rage quit and cheat the competitive system that we got hosed by?

The next event will most definitely be Halloween (dataminers found a Halloween voice line for Genji), and that's probably when we'll find out whether they'll be changing the policy on event skins and currency.

There's also the Polaroid pic on the Osprey of Torb and Mercy dressed up as a viking and a witch. Which is kinda disappointing, I want box-bot Torb spouting bot-cist stuff.

Reinhardt better get a Frankenstein skin for Halloween. Also Ana should get a mummy skin and Hanzo should get a Robin Hood outfit. Roadhog could get a Jason style skin with a hockey mask, and 76 could get a Thriller style getup or something. Junkrat... uh... kinda already has a bunch of Halloween skins. Maybe he'd ironically get a normal outfit, or they'd do a Leto Joker or something?

Roadhog could have the Leatherface tie and rubber apron combo with a pig mask, or just a poorly fitting pig mascot outfit. I still want a skin with Ned Kelly's armor, though.

Junkrat has a few opportunities I could think of: Angus Young style schoolboy outfit, tatty Guy Fawkes outfit, a Mick Taylor style 'bogan' outfit, cardboard box ~~robot~~ Omnic (complete with awkward D.Va and Bastion conversations)... I could go on.

Yeah I mean let's be fair, there are a bunch of things Overwatch could do better but it's far from some irredeemable shitshow and even if Blizzard insists on acting like they invented the FPS it's a pretty impressive first outing.

I see it as a solid C+ setting the bell curve in the middle of a four semester streak of knuckle dragging bed-shitters.

I don't consider that damning with faint praise, either.

My last competitive placement match an hour ago had a level 20 mic-less pubbie Mei on our team. We were playing CTF and we lost.

That level 20 pub deserved to be MVP. I have no idea who they are, but they made walls so well timed that I forgive them twice over for ult-freezing four times over five matches.

I'm really glad to hear they're planning, even distantly, on reworking Symmetra.

I think it's been shown that sometimes a character only needs a little nudge to become a powerhouse, and a new E ability with some actual oomph and strategy could really turn her around.

Where'd you hear that?

Also I don't care about Sombra, I want the guy in the Hazmat suit with the sprayer for some classic Pyro fun.

Also Bastion isn't evil. Bastion Units, as a whole, were defense turrets that got hacked by actually-evil super AIs bent on world domination. The specific Bastion Unit that you can play as in the game was one who woke up 10 years after the war, all hacking forgotten/gone from his systems. Did you miss the bit at the end where he overrode the attack code to go back to nature? Bastion wants peace, he's just stuck in a body built for war.

Mei has a pre--match bark that says 'Bastion would make the perfect research assistant.'

Therefore, Bastion is confirmed in-game as Evil.

TF2 releasing a week after the Fortress Forever mod was the biggest dunking on another multiplayer game until Overwatch continually counter-scheduled against all of Battleborn's poo poo over a period of months

Battleborn was a case of self-dunking with player pools segregated by country, a match system where everyone lost if someone quit or even D/C'd, and balance issues so ingrained in the game's mission statement that they were an intentional part of the Season Pass.

A character with no damaging attacks. Nothing but really obnoxious CC abilities like heavy slow, jamming enemy guns, remapping controls, temporary blind, etc. Ultimate attack would basically be the Overwatch equivalent of fighting a Marlboro in a Final Fantasy game and getting hit by Bad Breath.

I want a tank that can taunt which aimbots the target player to you exclusively. Make that same tank not have a shield to balance it to a nice risk/reward level and make the range about 5-10 yards.

So far, it feels like they added Winston simply to have a Lol Talking Gorilla and can't really figure out what to do with him. If this rumor is legitimate, adding Hammond the (Evil?) Talking Chimpanzee just means that my first impression of Winston was completely accurate.

If the anniversary card sprays mean anything they don't, Winston is the catalyst behind a new rift in Overwatch - People optimistic for a new future who want to intervene now (Winston, Tracer, Reindhart, Zenyatta), and the jaded former members who rather let things fall apart and pick up the pieces (Jack, Anna, Torbjorn, Mercy).

We're testing some stuff internally for Roadhog. The focus of changes we're trying are around his defenses, rather than his offensive capabilities. Even though the hook combo is weaker now he can still dish out a lot of damage over all. If he had some more suitability he would be in a better place.

🤔

Translation: "We're moving Roadhog to the Defense category."
