“Good news! We’re adding Mei to HotS, but don’t worry: unlike other Overwatch heroes she’s a low-mobility Specialist.”

“Oh cool, what’s her specialty?”

“Making you wish you were dead.”

This is in no way realistic.

They don't make specialists anymore.

DVa was weird enough to be a specialist, they just classed her as a tank. Medivh is a secondary support but they put him in specialist, unlike other supports that can't main heal.

The class system is weird and is likely the thing needing an overhaul

Why spend 1600-2400 shards on something that isn't worth that ammount based on what they've put out for the same prices?

He's outta line...

But he's right!
Destroyer D.Va is currently bugged and the new voice lines aren't playing. There are voice files packed in the patch, but they aren't playing. For some reason, Blizzard has chosen not to acknowledge this, but it's clearly bugged. Blizz is really weird about interacting with the community sometimes, though. For instance, they typically have someone from Blizz replying to Reddit threads on the regular, but for the last almost 2 weeks, the only Blue response has been on the Ducks fiasco. They've also been unusually silent on the OForums as well, so v0v.

Anyway, point is: There's no conspiracy by Big Loot to get you to buy Destroyer D.Va with false promises; Blizz is just bad at coding. And communicating.

Now, whether the new voice files constitute "replaced voice-overs" or "altered voice-overs", I ain't even touching that.

I still think it's really strange Junkrat isn't a specialist. I figured going after forts would be his THING. Him being an assassin is weird

I think the distinction between assassin and specialist is often a matter of builds, not kits. Specialists certainly tend to lean toward destroying lanes/structures but a large number of them could easily qualify as immobile assassins.

To that end: I'm crazy excited for Junkrat regardless of kit as he's one of three characters in OW I actually enjoy playing. I don't much care how he comes out.

At the risk of sounding cliche, it's difficult in the same way Dark Souls is where you'll die a bunch til you learn the fight and eventually beat it. It's pretty challenging but it feels so awesome when you finally beat a boss. Some bosses have phases that are pretty bullet hell though

Can we please make the mental distinction between mobility based hero and a hero with a single mobility skill? There is a spectrum between no mobility and high mobility, and many many heroes that have a single mobility skill but are otherwise immobile should fall somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. The High mobility designation should be limited to the zeratuls, genjis, and tracers of the game.

The first six heroes are on a three week rotation.

Week 1: Li Li, E.T.C., Zagara, The Butcher, Kael'thas, Artanis
Week 2: Raynor, Muradin, Sonya, Nazeebo, Uther, Jaina
Week 3: Malfurion, Valla, Gazlowe, Johanna, Thrall, Dehaka

So the Butcher, Kael'thas, and Zagara are always free at the same time.

Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but I think Rag's trait is dumb cheese that interacts in a broken way with a bunch of map mechanics (Haunted Mines and Braxis especially).

It's legitimately fun and exciting when it's used on a dead fort, especially offensively, but Rag's trait just ends up amounting to a giant shield for forts and keeps. It would be sweet if it could only be used on dead forts and he was buffed accordingly.

There are heroes that sweep the mines or murder the zerg waves very well, I don't see much of a difference between those heroes interactions with those maps and Rag's interaction with those maps. I think it makes the game more interesting when some heroes are better than others on specific maps.

Rocket Ride (R)
After 1.25 seconds, Junkrat launches into the air. While in the air, he can steer the landing location by moving. After 3.5 seconds, Junkrat lands, dealing 780 damage to nearby enemies and activating Total Mayhem. 5 seconds after landing, Junkrat reappears at the Altar and gains 150% additional Movement Speed until dismounted.

Am I reading this right that he basically kamakazis himself, but gets a 5 second respawn time and then 150% speed to get back to the fight quickly? That sounds awesome and very in character but I dunno if I'm misunderstanding it

So if I'm understanding that right, Junkrat could do up to 2030 damage to several enemies all at once (780 for the ult itself, 250 for each of the total mayhem bombs), if they're all bunched up and don't move away quick enough? :haw:
