I think Zen is really good in Uprising, orb of discord chews right through elites.

D.Va is like the only character I'm semi-competent with but I think she's more than okay for Uprising. Very effective and easy to charge ult, the barrier is good against enemy bastions, and she's almost completely self-sufficient since it's trivial to call back your mech if you get ejected. Her damage isn't so hot but she doesn't get torn up on the second half of the map like Winston.

The legendary Torb skin is obviously just a Terran SCV.

Seems to be something weird going on with the Blizzard servers. I just got placed in a 12-hour queue when trying to start the launcher.

I'm still kind of hoping for a 1 year anniversary event to start on may 23rd. Sure it would be only three weeks between events, but that was pretty much the gap between winter/christmas and chinese new year? Then a longer gap again until whichever way they want to re-brand the summer games in august.

Blizzard usually has anniversary events for their releases even when there's nothing special going on, so a free "thanks for playing" lootbox or spray/player icon seems likely.

I like Roadhog in the FFA, you can lurk in the basement all day and a lot of people will just give up on chasing you.

I've had a recent issue with the sound cutting out every time team chat comes on. I turned off team chat and was none the wiser.

It's still amazing to me that despite all the stigma around Hanzo slampickers, there is a still a Hanzo slampicker in nearly every single match of Overwatch. And they're usually on a two-person team with Widow.

All of the maps need some degree of remodeling-- new doorways, new paths/tunnels/bridges/ramps, obstructions of certain routes or sightlines-- to be decent for deathmatch. Considering how much time they already take making new maps for main modes, I just don't see Blizzard bothering with that.

Everytime they put in some throwaway horde or deathmatch map for a season it always seems to be pretty well-received, so I have to think there are at least some design docs on potentially expanding the main game modes.

Some guy got complimented on his character idea by Jeff Kaplan. Normally ignore this kinda thing but the dude actually put in a lot of effort. Figured others might wanna look at it since she's honestly kinda neat.

That's... really good. Would play a support character like that.

I'm guessing the design docs indicate she has an air float like Supergirl from Injustice 2 where you can hover and then air dash in any direction.

I'm not a master or anything, but I mained her last season.

Before an all out brawl:
hang back a bit behind the tanks generally, and focus on healing. I generally have 12000+ healing per comp match as much as any other healer. Be in a position to peal for other support and immobile DPS. Her overheal armor pack is really overpowered on your flankers and pharahs. Whip shot from a safe position only. It exposes you for long enough to get picked, but it is nice to keep your team topped off. Don't worry about getting into brawls because its gonna happen naturally. I've had games where all I did was heal from the backline because we were dominating them so bad.

In general:
Your shield does amazing things. Blocks most ults, Lets you move into position, lets you walk up to an ulting hog without getting knocked back. When it is down, you are very easy to headshot and kill, so stay behind cover for the 2 seconds it takes to recharge.

Once the brawl begins:
The stun/whip combo is your friend. Most of your thought process during a brawl should be around assassinating the healers with a combo or just watching them die inside as you swing your flail in their face. I am usually trying to use my sheild to penetrate straight for the healers while ulting. It makes me feel like gandalf in the second LOTR, but it completely ruins the other team. They have to peal and turn their back on the front line. Aside from that, I'm either trying to hit multiple people with my M1 or hold my shield up so that enemy DPS wastes precious seconds focusing on me. You can really move people out of position with whip shot too. I like putting reins in awkward corners so they can't back up to their team or making doom fly somewhere that he didn't mean to. Oh yeah and armor pack on cooldown as your reticle is naturally moving across your team. Just tap at the right moment to heal the lowest or most exposed person.

Thanks for the advice, I like her kit and can-do attitude!

What do people think about the endorsement system? I think it�s a cool idea and most of the matches I�ve played since yesterday have been noticeably chiller than when I was last playing in the midst of Doomfist frenzy. I wish there were a couple more categories though, like �you actually stood on the objective, good job!�

Briggy�s knight skin with the purple trim is so cool. I must have it! But once I do obtain it I�ll probably end up playing her a lot less, just like every other time I finally get an outfit I want.

I thought the sun armor was going for a Dark Souls reference, but maybe my judgment is clouded because I watched this video first.

E:D is good, but I think Rocket League and Overwatch compete for brain space. They don't look the same, but they're both frenetic games with more of a skill curve than you realize, where you tryhard against other humans. I also play both and I think it contributes to the problem. I often find myself only able to give a poo poo about one at a time

Rocket League is great because you can�t type out directed comments toward the bullshit and have to passive aggressively express your frustration with emotes like Wow! and Nice Save!

It's amusing to me now that after a whole decade of pushing e-sports game developers are realizing what a horrible idea voice chat was and have increasingly implemented systems to downplay or negate its use.
