The Overwatch Thread

200 HP and 200 Shield. Remember that shield has that funny property where weak hits only causes half damage AND it recovers. ALSO, Barrier+damage resistance buff.
200 armor actually, not shield. The armor does halve damage, but it only reduces up to 5 points and doesn't recover.

As far as other tanks go honestly, she's not actually super durable in practice from what I've seen.

Imo tho her gun is like a beefier version of Sombra's, it's a massive clip but each bullet really doesn't do that much damage (plus with Orisa it's a projectile weapon that you have to lead with large spread by default)

I am looking forward to see if she can take the role of anchor like Rein though, or if she'll end up as a main tank in some other comp like Winston in dive comps.

Orisa needs a buff.

She's fun, but she needs a bit more to be viable.
 
Sweet. Another character nobody will play because Ana, Lucio, and Rein are mandatory picks.

Are you SURE it's a Character and not a Short or new game content?

Also to be fair, if it is a character, this is going to be the first tease for Him/Her. Not guaranteed we will be getting a name just yet.
 
New characters take 3-4 months to make.
This is probably pointing at a new Tracer skin to go along with the texture update release they did to King's Row.
The only other thing is the dungeon boss raid event they were teasing.

This. That which I bolded may be it as it is referring to an uprising in the video.
 
If we go by their release schedules the next character won't be released until mid July.

Also, Widow's new Legendary skin will be revealed next week with the new PvE event on King's Row.
 
A lot of things could be better than Noire
Like Huntress
Or her default

Huntress is a god-tier skin, imo

While I'm almost 100% sure next week's event won't come with a new hero, I am super hyped for both the event and the hero (which'll probably show up in many weeks)

All I can say is I welcome the new Jago skin for Genji.
 
huh, more of him survived that i first thought...

I thought only his head and like his vital organs were left. But hey! he's got his left arm and most of his chest! Not bad!
 
like, I think that's all that's left really.

Genji can't eat ramen so either his stomach is beyond fucked or his lower jaw is just gone.
or both.
 
We at least know that what Hanzo did to him wasn't "feeds Genji into a woodchipper", as people liked to joke, but still, being cut diagonally and having your face pretty fucked up does raise questions.
What kind of technique did Hanzo do to him? I always assumed it was the result of a Scatter arrow but then I remembered Hanzo picked up Arrows after renouncing the use of a sword after he thought he killed Genji
 
my guess is that's what Hanzo's dragon did when he still used the sword.

he did that thing like in bleach where he appeared behind genji and there's just a slice and some blood
 
Still, we now know the Event will be Tracer, mercy, Torbjorn and Reinhart as the playables.

Knew it was no character.

I don't doubt it, but the idea of that combination of heroes is really weird to me. McCree might be there too, since he's also in King's Row in the comic.
 
So Tracer's catchphrase came from a snarky remark from Torbjörn. I don't really see why people always feel the need to add stuff like that, why not just have her come up with it on her own?
 
Getting Cadet Torb, Mercy, and Rein.

Yeah well they said a Widowmaker skin was in the works and worth the wait

And look what we got

We got a great skin.

What's your point?
 
She's not a blueberry and the skin looks good.
It's like a sweet covert ops commando skin.
 
The fact that Mercy's skin is legendary is gonna stress me out forever until I get it. I NEED it.
 
Got Blackwatch Mcree on my fourth box. Feels good.
 
I joked that I'd get Combat Medic Mercy instead of any of the other Legendaries I wanted.
Guess what fucking happened.
That's two Seasonal legendaries for a character I barely play now.
