Gravitas Shortfall posted:this but limit doubles on mystery heroes because it is not fun at all suddenly running into three orisas and bastion on last point Agreed, similarly change the randomization so that it prioritizes a role more if there isn't one on the team, that way at least in theory a team would always have at least one of each role Also maybe some balance tweaks specific to Mystery Heroes to take into account that certain heroes(mostly Bastion) are noticeably stronger than in regular play since its harder to directly counter them, also maybe have some Ult Meter stay across lives(say after a death it gets rounded down to the nearest 25 percent chunk) that way Ult abilities can see more use in Mystery Heroes and help lessen the brick wall effect that sometimes happens in that mode

Mystery everything, where it not only randomises your character but also game type. Yes, this includes comp.

my favourite is when you (support) get dived every time and nobody ever peels to help you, but you get to hear all the huffing and sighing from everyone else complaining about lack of heals, failing to have even noticed you died Bronze! (and also silver)

The switch from 6v6 to 5v5 would be fine to me if they would introduce a character with a railgun that can bunnyhop.

How was it incorrect? People do like 6v6 and people very quickly worked out that Zarya/Hog entirely do not work as solotanks. I scrimmed it at top500 level. Every time a team tried a solo Zarya/hog they got demolished. They need to do more than change her bubbles to make up for the loss of space, imo The games stagnating and dead because they've decided to abandon it for OW2

Have they indicated that CC is mostly or even completely going away? I know that Mei loses her single target freeze, but I just had a Tracer whine about "OP McCree" in chat and that luckily, his flashbang will also be removed in OW2?

Hey Overwatch fans, I have a basket of Overwatch merch that needs to find a home. There is a thread in SA-Mart. Take a look! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3941476&pagenumber=1&perpage=40#post508293190

They'll probably do what they've been doing which is keeping a skeleton crew on balance tweaks and new skins until Overwatch 2 drops, at which point Overwatch 1 gets deleted anyways.

I know this is a "game dev is hard" thing but putting a full hold on new heroes sans Echo for like two? three years? horrible idea. New hero teases were a big part of this game's hype cycle and gave streamers new content and made OWL stages more interesting

There was a reddit AMA about Overwatch 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skJ3gnx_a4s TLDR: Testing pinging system. Bastion and Sombra reworks (for OW2). Nothing definite yet. Some "Large feature" will be announced for OW1 with "Timeframe between soon and really soon" Unannounced pvp game mode on Gothenburg and India maps. 2CP will probably be punted to the Arcade. They've considered remaking Mei and Doomfist as a tank characters. Nothing actual yet. TLDRDR: So lot of hinting, rumours and testing.

If they turned Sombra into the stealthy background support she seemed to be billed as, instead of a DPS, I'd be loving overjoyed.

I'd rather they remake Mei as a tank than nerf all her signature abilities to the ground and make her another identikit DPS.

Yeah, a lot of DPS feels the same. poo poo even hanzo basically just feels like any other DPS. Genji/Mei/Sombra feel different enough, but even torb after his rework just feels like a identikit dps

After they merged Attack and Defense into damage, it left a lot of odd ducks. Like Mei is not a damage character. She can put out some ok DPS, but not on the same level as Tracer, Reaper, Soldier, etc. Now would be a great time to reevaluate roles.

That AMA is useless, they just took all the softest softball questions and responded with "idk maybe/we're looking into it" with every single one. It's purely made for youtube speculators to have their stupid clickbait thumbnails.

 Apparently there is a double XP weekend going on right now (June 4-8) I only found out because I felt I was blazing through my level ups and googled. No announcement ingame or anywhere in the launcher, but hey if you had checked the website - as one does for a game that hasn't received new content outside of the events for 14+ months - you might have caught it. Just baffling how little of a poo poo they are giving these days.

 ---- man elo hell is real. it is utterly frustrating that due to being in gold you get games where everyone is in comms calling out things and games where no one is in comms but you have the moira typing into chat, complaining about the doomfist constantly killing her. when i told her maybe if she had a mic we'd know she complained that we should see from the kill feed... well at that point you're dead... then you get lots of OTP which would be fine, except they play at a gold level. and then the constant asking for a shield tank... when the dps is like sombra and echo and maybe the only one who needs it is an ana who doesn't know how to play cover. yeah i'm sure the reason we lost was we didn't have a shield... /end vent.
