Starting to read through all the lore and every hero feels like classic Metzen. Ahh Blizzard:


Tracer: Was 22 when she was a test pilot and put into the timestream. All I'm saying is maybe you don't get your youngest member to test new technology.


Its way easier to get people to do insanely dangerous stuff when they're still young, stupid, and believe themselves to be invincible.

If the game was coming out a 4pm EDT then it would be out in less than 1 hour but it isn't so we have to wait even longer still.

EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...

Hanzo: Wait, didn't Genji's story explicitly state that Overwatch is an enemy of Hanzo's family?

the family/crime syndicate has booted both hanzo and genji out, genji for being a lazy jerkoff and hanzo for being :smith: after dealing with genji

i look at this competitive team-based shooter and think, yes, but what about the tragic backstory of hero archetype 'sniper'? I want to feel a deep connection to what in other games would be a gun i choose from a drop-down menu. i want to feel their struggles as my own and carry the weight of reaper's choices as i open a loot crate and dress him up like a mariachi

I feel like I might join the dork side and finally be the bad Reaper every match deserves now that the game's actually launching and I can blend in with all the other bad newbies.

Either that or Zenyatta, the other hero I suck as and thus never got to play.

Oh that really wasn't clear, the official page suggests Hanzo is still part of the syndicate and is the brother most-enthusiastic about being a crimelord.

blizzard writing has always been, to me, charmingly bad

it isn't trying to be deep

its basically just 'here are some dudes, this is how we get them to fight in the coolest/quickest manner'

Ah, I used to play Rust, so Hanzo feels pretty good with his hefty arrow hitboxes.
