I think it is OK for blizzard to release skins that aren't super modded/detailed if it'll be like a 100 shard craft that you toss on a hero just for the season.

If people get to open dozens of silly rear end hat skins in their rare slot for each event now we are going to have a very good time.

What are the odds they'll have the 50% "new skin" mark up and disappear after the event? I'm guessing somewhere north of 99%.

We are all excited that after three years and 70 characters blizz was finally ready to add the first handsome guy to the nexus.

My favorite part is the critter on his back on the fallen skins.

They showed Scarecrow Xul (with new tints) during the video, I would be surprised if the other old halloween skins aren't also back.

Hi!
Paper Bag Gazlowe is kind of low effort, but it's also the first Gazlowe skin that doesn't suck.
Same for Chromie with a skeleton hat.

I guess this game needed hats all along?

I look forward to Heroes 3.0 where the skins get chopped up into their individual components and you can mix and match poo poo. It's probably the only thing that I like about Dota 2.

The default version (blue overalls) was available for purchase earlier this week for 400 shards. I don't know if it is still up, some of the old Hallow's End items were available early, that probably wasn't intended.

What's with the eh... bretonnian dance, sir?

Man it took them long enough to make a new Greymane, I've always been surprised at that, he's pretty consistently been strong as hell and picked often but he just didn't have the titty I guess.

Some of the others are nice too but those mounts are great. :allears:

He's bad value. You have to make 2 skins. Technically true of D. Va but D Va mech is probably pretty easy.

Nazeebo is a 55% win rate now and an insane pick rate (38%). It's mostly because of the massively overbuffed toad build. I smell nerf soon.

on one hand i know you're bullshitting but on the other i'm familiar enough the internet to know that there are people who actively believe something like that

what i don't loving understand is where that viewpoint even came from, like

is that a common thing in overwatch? "people who like dva are pedophiles"?

Yeah I checked after the post in the thread about it but it was already taken down.

edit: i think you'll find it's ephebophile and furthermore :words: :yikes:

I'm not even sure where the weeaboo thing comes from since Overwatch has both a cyborg ninja and a literal magic samurai Archer character, but clearly the character that's a middle-aged game developer's idea of what a pro MLG superstar is must be the weeb bait, sure.

Full disclosure: I do not own or play Overwatch and know very little about its community. However, a cursory google search shows up multiple sources that list her age as 19, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Are there multiple D.vas or something?

edit: afaik d.va was originally supposed to be 17 years old in the lore and then a wise, savvy internet-goer at blizzard realized what would happen the instant they released an image of her and made her 19 instead

I got probably my favorite HOTS moment of all time when as Azmodan by Orb of Destruction didn't quite finish off Baby D.Va...but the demon warrior that spawned from it hacked her to death while she got bodyblocked. It was beautiful.

One time in QM I got the perfect the perfect alley-oop. I was Azmo, and had an Abby vs. Abby match. I Dunked their Abby for 80% of it's life and spawned the demon warrior, and then our Abby hatted it and finished the enemy Abby off. We then laughed about it in chat and no one else had any idea what had happened.

I don't care what people jerk it to, I just don't understand why anyone spends money on this game, I think I bought like one skin in the old pre-chest days and I'm not even sure why I did that. This game literally throws loot at you non-stop and then you get shards to buy other loot you didn't get from your mountains of loot chests. I can't imagine ever needing to buy anything with money. I think I have like 40 mounts that I probably won't ever equip.

Perhaps it's just me, but Blizzard should put somewhere more prominently that spells do double damage to buildings in this brawl. Sooooo many bad Chromie and Medivh picks. Jaina or Li-Ming can take down a tower before the minion wave even gets to the middle to start a game!

I was wondering why Archon mode burned down the core in 15 seconds. Smart move on their part, the game never would have ended otherwise.
