It's pretty bonkers because he isn't a huge dude, but he sounds massive when Reinhardt'ing.

Edit: Randomly paused the video in the article and got full exposure to the 'Reinhardt Face'


Strangely enough this is also the face you make whenever you land a solid Reinhardt charge into an Earthshatter.

This one accurately portrays my average earthshatter, where I miss basically everyone but somehow get the enemy Mercy. Which is....Eh, good enough.

my reinhardt experience lately is miss everyone with earthshatter but charge anyway only for everyone to get pushed away rather than pinned

Randomly joined PTR deathmatch games today and "lucked" into playing against two different pro players. My career highest SR is 1500 something. Both the coolest and most humbling day of my Overwatch experience. At least I can go watch myself get destroyed on VOD?

If people are interested, I recently did an interview with Darin De Paul (VA of Reinhardt) about how life was treating him, 12 months post-Overwatch release.

Spoiler: pretty awesome.

When you're charging some random red team dingdong and the Mercy happens to fly into your path through a strange confluence of unrelated events, like when someone is killed in a car accident caused by their spouse:

:hellyeah: it's weird because it's very well lit on the outside, but it's cloudy and overcast at the same time. then you get inside and it's dank dark dungeons and dusty rooms. perfect setting for widow's secret lair.

It's set up like an old school Quake map - a tight circular race track with lots of doors and corners that force you to constantly be on the lookout. It's awesome.

Pretty easy to top the scoreboard as Winston and soldier. Symmetra is terrifying too. Just gotta know what part of the map your character excels in. The basement is for doomfists and Junkrats, stay far away.

Bronze - Plat are affected by the orange arrow, Master/Grandmaster by the red arrow.

Sooo ... tanking your rank to get more easy wins got easier or what?
Suck for 5 games, lose a full tier?

Edit: Welp, looks like I'm all decked out with grey and blue loot items. KA-CHING!

No, it means that if you're below 1500 sr for 5 games you'll drop into bronze and your icon under your portrait will change. You'll still get silver (or your highest tier) comp rewards for that season.

It has no practical significance except to make serial throwers less immediately visible upon entry into a game.

The new expansion pack for XCom 2 adds in "soldier bonding" when you have teams that do well together. Since I created an all-overwatch team, this was the first bond the game came up with, totally organic

I really wish the D.Va and Mercy reworks had gone in with this patch because Overwatch feels really good right now except for mass rezs undoing all your work and defense matrix forcing you to wait out D.Va for half the match.

Once these two get reworked then I honestly am super happy with the game.

Match making is based on your mmr not your tier. That change keeps people from getting plat then tanking their rating for the lawls and still getting plat rewards.

You still get rewards for your highest achieved rank, because Jeff isnt a sadist.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
I remain skeptical of Deathmatch and it's balancing, but had a really good time with a mate in Team Deathmatch earlier, they seem to have got it all right there with the map adjustments and spawning. Seems fair and exciting, and I think you can justify playing any character, which I can't see being true of regular deathmatch.

Holy poo poo Roadhog feels REALLY good after the changes. Just being able to keep positioning for hooks while huffing makes a huge difference, let alone soaking extra damage from the DR and being able to get away and live instead of dying. (he still feeds ults like mad, I had a card for healing 6500 damage, 48% of damage taken in a QP game)

he definitely feels better. I don't feel like I'm throwing fights just by existing anymore, that's for sure

still think they should drop the hook cooldown back to what it was at launch tho

How is this update a 15gb download?

berenzen
Jan 23, 2012

It's 6 gigs, mostly because there's technically 16 or so new maps for deathmatch stuff aside from chateau. Plus the implementation of deathmatch/TDM modes, and then some changes for each of the heroes.

I checked the file size and it's just under 16 gigs on ps4, so that would make sense

that download still took the whole day tho; pc took like 20 minutes. sony's servers are trash

Two things: PS4 always reports the total installed size, it's not actually downloading that much; and

PS4 speeds are trash, yes, but there are ways around that

A number of data format changes have been implemented
Developer Comments: Over the past few months, we’ve been working on a number of significant under-the-hood changes that will help us streamline the patching process. This will allow us to reduce the download size in future patches, but it does mean that today’s patch is larger than a traditional patch.
