I like the new hero a lot but I wish the ult was just regular rockets rather than a single big jarate rocket. The mythic Ana skin is kinda bland imo, feels like most of the other Nullsec skins have way flashier looks, especially Sym and Kiriko. They should focus on making the new heroes they add to the roster more Nullsec guys like Rammatra so they can work on the aesthetic.

Also I had a comp game yesterday that went to tiebreaker rounds where my team pushed the payload a staggering 4.89 meters on our attack round and then spawn locked the opposing team for a minute thirty and won anyway lmao

Good thing I slowly ground out a few hundred coins during S4 and S5 to put me over the 1500 mark because now Blizzard will definitely allow me to spend that $15 worth of coins on the $15 Invasion Bundle. Going to take a big sip of coffee as I click on the shop this Thursday...

Lmao what is that loving frame drop between 0:56 and 0:59? Did they run out of budget to render 60 fps video?

When Brigitte swings her mace? It's one of those pre-rendered cutscenes like they had in Retribution and Storm Rising. Those all play at a more cinematic 24fps.

the other thing she does that lifeweaver doesn't is get kills

speaking of which, they buffed lifeweaver a lot yet again. I have a feeling it's still not enough, and won't be until they give him an appreciable amount of damage.

also get rid of his reloading already!!!

I like the skin, but I'm a bit disappointed that the first customisation option is awesome and the other two are crap. Best combo imo is tier 1 skin and gun, with tier 3 color.

Best Ana skin remains Bastet.

It’s a cool skin but yeah I kind of wish they went with a more regal Egyptian theme with a fancy hairstyle and ornate robes or something.

They can copy Hearthstone so you can't communicate except by emotes.


And then they can sell spicy emotes.

While I'm not advocating for it here, HotS has no ability to communicate with your opponents in-match and the game is better for it.

Honestly, OW should really get rid of it. There's literally nothing to be gained from being able to type "x diff" at your opponents, especially when 90% of the people that post it are doing the worst on their team.

Played a little of Illari and she's a dps that sometimes heals. Her M2 is underwhelming heal-wise, so you really have to get value out of your healing pylon. Ult is good but not OP. Fun hero, probably needs some numbers tweaked but that's about it.

I hope she's got a similar robot voice filter to the Genji mythic.

Haven't played in a few months, but I have enough tokens saved up and I'm an ana main. Gonna play me some comp MH.

Mostly in it for option 1 and the voice. There are some things I don't like about even option 1 though: That hole in the back of her cloak that shows the rib cage, and the angle of her neck are weird.
