Pharah is Egyptian and isn't anything to do with Vishkar. Symmetra is Indian and works for Vishkar and gets a nice thematically appropriate Kali skin.

Also Indians from India are not actually native americans and vice versa.

Come on, that was clearly a joke. This thread is like a swell of sharks and every post is potentially chum.

I was excited for new overwatch news! Turns out it’s just people feeding the troll.
New skins are cool and good though! Really like that Zarya one. I usually come back to OW for events and then fizzle back out but it’s fun for a while!

What changes would you make to overwatch that would make it a cool and good game? Larger team sizes seems like more fun rather than smaller team sizes.

Blizzard sucks and every game they make in the future is going to suck too. I was excited about OW2 like a year or more ago and every subsequent development since then has lessened my interest more and more.

Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but wasn't the OW2 Multiplayer plan to introduce battle passes like in Fortnight to really drive home the FOMO? It really feels like recently these seasonal events have been testing out FOMO skins and what not.

I would be absolutely surprised if they didn’t include a battle pass. It’s the next most disgusting option to loot boxes.

lol, but also why would you release an OW2 set in Feb anyway, when the release of the actual game is set as "???"

Lego must not be very familiar with The fluid nature of blizzard release schedules.

I thought about re-installing to check out the event but... I'm not going to.

A month ago content creators were given a sneak preview at what was coming and they were all stoked but sworn to secrecy. I finally got one of them to crack and here's what they told me:

OW is canceled.

So, I did actually re-install this game. Lunar New Year was the worst event anyways so, no big loss on how bad this one is. Mystery Heroes is still fun. Until its not but then its over quickly, hopefully.

I’m glad they’re making progress at least. Hopefully some new executive leadership helps. I was bummed to find out that PvE is a pushed back even more but it’s necessary just to get some life-blood flowing in again.

Pick flex queue get 3 minute queues. Or pick support or tank for similar queues. It’s loving straight up lies to claim 10min waits for either of those. Quit flying off the loving handle complaining about made up poo poo. There are plenty of real things to complain about that aren’t just a straw man.

Fair enough. My experience has been different. Weird.

edit: I wonder if population has dropped since everyone is probably realizing that the game is not really that different and not that much has or will fundamentally change.

I'd argue that Moira is in a pretty good position and that the goal should be to get all of the supports into that realm. I pretty much only play Moira solo queue (when I get support) because I can avoid getting dunked on in the back line, against most characters she has a reasonable chance of winning a duel or at least prolonging it until she's out of danger, and her healing seems pretty decent.

Ana is good (even fantastic) when your team has a bit of situational awareness but gets dumpstered when you're left to hang.

My support hot-take is that healing should go down and damage and survival should go up.

My tank hot-take is that D.VA is good.

We talking OW1 or the beta here? In the beta I’ve seen like 2 Lucios actually healing and the rest are just off riding around on walls and shooting people.

Not that I’m complaining because it usually works.

TASTE THE PAIN!! posted:

Another random complaint, how is it so hard to get the team color right in the kill feed for non standard stuff like a Mercy rez? This also happens with displaying point ownership on KOTH if I'm remembering right. I'm no master of game development but how is nailing that down still eluding them at this point?

It okay they've only been working on OW2 for... 3 years? Give them a break.

edit: Patch changes look good though.

What are they supposed to do to make money with this game? Besides make a good game, of course.

I haven't seen any pricing on the battlepass (let alone what is totally included in them) and I'm a bit bummed that new characters are locked behind a grind/paywall but what would be a good pay model?

Good riddance to loot boxes anyways.
