Vermain posted:My only other concern with Ana at this point: how the gently caress is she ever supposed to get PotG? I imagine that it's going to be fairly dependant on Nano Boost. Maybe if a Nano Boosted person would have gotten play of the game while nano boosted it's given to her instead? idk, alternatively the same way Zenyatta does.

Pretty sure Ana is Sombra, given a couple of her skins. Also her voice lines are pretty awesome, like "Justice rains from above" in (?)Arabic.

I've seen a few Zenyatta PotGs on the PTR with him either pulling out some insane frags or healing a huge amount of damage all at once, something that Ana can't really do. It really makes me wish for that "duo PotG" setup someone proposed a while back, so you could see Ana throwing Nano Boost on Torbjorn or something and then you get to watch the little bastard go HAM on a splitscreen. Right now, unless they do some really hosed up weighting for her scoped heals, you're probably never going to see her taking that spot. Snazzy Frocks posted:sombra is going to be the closest thing possible to a TF2 spy, calling it now I hope and pray they never add stealth into the game, but some kind of trickster hero that was all about loving with the enemy team (by making phantom footsteps or rocket explosions or throwing smoke grenades, etc.) would be cool.

But he's so goofy and lovable Junkrat and Roadhog are two of the most wanted men in the world for mass murder, grand larceny, blowing up and robbing the bank in Dorado, robbing an arcade and a whole bunch of other poo poo. Basically Junkrat's story is that he found an Omnium Core, stashed it somewhere and then word got out what he had so a $25,000,000 bounty was placed on his head. When he realized he's living on borrowed time because now everyone's gonna want him dead he got Roadhog to tag along and said "gently caress it, if I'm gonna go down let's go down in flames"

Ddraig posted:McCree was also a criminal. He also blows away several dudes in his intro comic. A lot of the nastier stuff about the various characters is mostly left to the comics, which is fair, since they want the base game to appeal to a very broad age range. Widowmaker's another example: she's absolutely an archetypical femme fatale (she even has the loving French accent!), but she apparently couldn't give a hot fart about using her sexuality in any way.

Junkrat's villainy is tempered by being comic relief so him blowing up a building during a "hostage rescue" results in whoops, turns out it was all a scam by the corrupt businessman hiring him and it's full of (non-sentient) robots. He steals the crown jewels and takes robs convenience stores of their stuffed animals. Meanwhile Widowmaker assassinates the robot Dalai Lama.

I mean, that building in the comic him and Roadhog blew up was a massive office building in the middle of Sydney right in the middle of the day so he just basically caused another 9/11 right there. edit:VVV Hey man I'm just saying, you gotta take the good with the bad.

As long as we're being spergy about character lore -- I feel like I want to get better enough at Pharah that she'd be one of my go-to DPSers, but she just seems so boring character-wise. Like all her voice lines and emotes paint her as a goody-two-shoes, no-nonsense guardian. Yawn. The omnics have more personality.

We'll never know whether she's yelling about justice raining from above or encouraging everyone to just be excellent to each other because she gets hog-hooked before finishing the first word. Poor Pharah. Her mom came to help her.

Honestly, when I first heard the name, I thought they had reused an actual name from Warcraft. Regardless, I hope he becomes a hero so we can get gay fanart of him fisting people.khy posted:The best part of Ana is the fact that a week before she goes live, the community has already started producing fanart and comics with her.

I have a friend that fluently speaks Standard Arabic and he has trouble understanding her because of the dialect differences (specifically, the hard "G" sound she makes - the jeem - which is normally pronounced like a "J" in standard Arabic). Then again, there was also someone making accusations that Mei was just speaking gobblydigook instead of Mandarin (which, like... I can't speak a loving word of Mandarin, and it's pretty easy to tell she's speaking Mandarin).

there are so many regional dialects of mandarin that it's not hard to imagine that someone with a strong regional dialect would have a hard time understanding mei's more standard enunciation.

It was like in TF2, I was terrible at the Sniper then I got The Huntsman and just solo carried games. I've noticed every Hanzo player that selects him to a reply of groans of 5 people always have the same spiel. "Trust me, I'm different" And then add in a POTG ultimate ontop of a Zarya ult for good measure even though we lost "lmao you guys said hanzo sucks but seeeeeeeee?"
