Verranicus posted:So apparently just before launch there was a small but rabid group of people on Tumblr who believed Pharah was a quadruple amputee because her model didn't appear to have room for proper arms/legs or something. When asked if she was an amputee or if it was just a normal suit, Blizz was like "it's just a suit guys" but the Tumblr people were all "that wasn't the right question to ask!! should have asked if she cut her limbs off to fit in the suit!! confirms nothing!" until Blizz later tweeted again "she has all her limbs, haha". Even this somehow ruffled their feathers because they took the 'haha' to be derogatory or something. At what point is every video game with an ensemble cast going to look like the BK Kids Club with latino member "Lingo" and paraplegic "Wheels."

Fans posted:The issue with D.va is fiiring her guns slows her down, but for Winston it doesn't. Or literally any other character in the game, she's the only one with this problem and it's pretty crippling because outside of close range her guns are trash. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Blizzard used the "slowed movement speed" downside in a few games, only to take it out later? I know the Druid in WoW had a healing form with reduced move speed for an expansion or two before the self snare got removed, and I'm pretty sure the Crusader in D3 had some kind of movement speed penalty tied to a frequently picked passive before the skill got changed to remove the penalty. I wonder if D. Va will just be the third (or more) instance of removing a self-snare from a Blizzard game.

If Bastion couldn't surf the payload in his turret form, that would be nice. After further experience, my only complaint with Torb turrets is the tracking. They lock on so fast that they provide his teammates with situational awareness that they otherwise wouldn't have, and make sneaking up on poo poo impossible.

Also I got 750 credits in drops today thanks to the never-before-seen Legendary coin drop, and now I have to decide if I make 150 more for Mobile Suit Pharah or buy Chrome Genji and White Reaper and Dark Glasses Lucio. Just thought I'd share.

Blizzard needs to release more skins so your team can role-play. I want decent comps with a whole mariachi band, or a hell theme with ifrit zen, and bloodhart and the mercy devil. I played one match as 6x biker gang torb and it as fun as hell (to be the defenders)

Winston is just a D.Va that can shield himself from ranged characters whom he is not shooting and who will actually get the chance to shift away and heal up and still fight. D.Va you just shift in, eat a teams worth of focus fire that hits your center of mass head, and then you get to die to widow or whoever when you finally jump out of your mech and are still alive but not able to fulfill your role again until you rebuild your next Q, which makes it so you get to experience a respawn timer without even dying. Maybe they will just give her a stupid long lasting E with a longer CD and then you can at least give some space to peak for your team, for some odd reason I feel like D.Va will keep the slow walk no matter what because design or some lovely excuse, or they just decide gently caress it leave her as it is and just make sure other chars are viable. MUSCULAR BEAVER posted:More skins please much more Don't worry, blizzard could stop giving a poo poo about the game but would keep making GBS threads out low effort skins to feed peoples addiction, trust me, you will have all of the skins you want and have paid blizzard 10 times what you paid for the actual game.

Apparently her voice actor is French but listening to commericals she's posted on her website she's laying on the accent pretty thick for Widowmaker http://www.chloehollings.com/#!voix-off/c18uk (+ here she is on a French TV show promoting a book or something)

Like I'm glad you're not terrible guys but pick someone who can stand on the loving point. you know, if the other team had a reaper or junkrat or multiple tanks, they were doing you a favor by applying damage from safety.

Considering Overwatch is just a bunch of Cultural Stereotypes and fanfiction grade backgrounds it's not exactly surprising the accents aren't any better. If they ever do a Welsh character I hope they do the most comically Taffy voice possible.

I was behind on the thread when people were saying that. I actually didn't realize widow had an exaggerated accent.
