I honestly hate getting endorsement from bad teams. You should not be allow to give endorsements if the team gets rolled within a minute on defense.

They should replace them with new categories "Thrower", "One-Trick" and "KYS". For opponents you can give only "Aim-hacking"

What part of the shotgun makes you think she is a sniper?

Looks more like mid/short range gun with short range AOE blast dynamites.

Hasn�t tf2 hosed all that art design up through years of cosmetics? Overwatch had that system from the start so they didn�t bother. Silhouettes are somewhat unique, but skins throw that out.

And if you see a Tracer, you know exactly what she is capable off, because no gun/ability customizations.

The Blizzcon came and went.

Overwatch 2 is looking good, although there's still no release date:

https://www.ign.com/articles/overwatch-2-55-new-details-blizzcon-2021-pvp-pve-campaign-changes

TLDR:
Experimenting with role passives (less knockback/ultcharge for shooting tanks, faster speed for dps, passive selfheals for healers)
Reinhardt is being tested with cancellable charge with better controls and 2 firestrikes. Similar level changes to other characters too?
2cp is cancelled... maybe. (#BringBackMoonBaseAndParisYouCowards)
Dynamic weather looks really nice.
Bit more about new hero Sojourn (Railgun!) and 2 new maps (New York and Rome)
also lot of PVE stuff. (and I mean LOT)

I've played first person games for 24+ years. People being poo poo heads is not new, and not solvable. Being bullied based on rank combined with playtime is solveable. These are the kinds of problems that Blizzard loves solving.

It is not, because the bullying isn't really about your borders or colour of your medals.
It's about them not being able to handle losing 50% of the time and needing someone to blame to boost their fragile ego.

The Year of the Ox even went and with it one of the best seasonal game modes ever.
No, I'm not talking about Competitive Capture the Flag.

I'm talking about Bounty Hunter. The best deathmatch mode ever.
During the event, I pretty much played it exclusively.

It's fun when everyone tries to gang up on bounty and snipe it for themselves.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfT14Bbh9To

Free healing and ult for the Bounty makes the mode extra swingy. Just the way I like it.

Yes I think it’s this. Regular boxes are always 4/5 duplicates, but my gallery only shows 50-60 items for most heroes. I felt confused until I realized how many event sprays, voice lines, etc there are.

Yeah. I have something like 100+ items for most heroes unlocked.
I�m still missing few basic gold skins + few more golds from each event.

But I�m mostly using default or owl skins.

I kept owning an enemy Ashe player with Baptiste so hard, that she accused me of buying my account.

I didn't realize there was a lucrative market for mid-gold healer accounts.

Another year of Archives, another year of people diving in on the two OR-14s at the end of Uprising and wiping because there's several Bastions covering them.

That at least doable.
The middle column one, where shooting one enemy heals every other enemy is the real team tester.

Stop Ashe throwing those fat 5-man dynamites. You just gave everyone huge regen. :argh:

I have bad team mates too.

Currently Rep 5 and rolling in my free lootboxes.

I'm still not understanding how the second one will work with the first and I don't care just yet, it's mostly my spouse that plays, but is the NYC map only for OW2?

All pvp contents like maps/characters should work for both OW1 and 2.

PVE stuff is OW2 exclusive.
New Skins might be OW2 exclusive. At least some of them.

What I mean is, we prefer 6v6 and tanks, so can we just continue playing OW1 or are these changes going to happen to that as well?

It's going to change. There will be only Overwatch servers for pvp, not separate servers for OW1 and 2.

I hope they move and rebalance the ~~Fat dps~~ off-tank characters to dps slots.

It seems pretty simple to me: 6v6 caters more to hardcore players, 5v5 caters more to casual players.

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.

Sombra is going to be immediately nerfed, holy poo poo

She's better as DPS, but no more 8 second ability lockdowns on hacked targets is a huge nerf.
I'd say it is a wash. If her DPS buff is too much, that's an easy number to balance.

Bastion gets pretty cool looking upgrade. RIP Pirateship.
