The Overwatch Thread

God I can't wait for reused Mercy's face model white lady #17

Edit: Coming back in to say:

1. Every single concept art of Ashe is more interesting than her final design

2. I watched the short and the design for the lady robot is beyond embarassing. Who gave her a buttcrack. What's with her shape. Who designed her to look like she has scoliosis worse than Widowmaker. Why.

What about Ashe's design don't you like specifically? Or what about her concepts do you think is stronger? Just curious since I think the concepts they shown of for her are pretty bland and samey. But I remember feeling the same way as you when they showed of Moira's concepts, including one with Doc Ock-ish tentacles. I love Moira but her default look is such a mess.

(also scoliosis is a sideways deviation of the spine, you're looking for lumbar lordosis ;P)


Kind of wish Blizzcon had kept up the tradition of revealing Talon associated heroes, waiting for Maximilian as a support or Sanjay in a remotely controlled hard-light power suit as a tank. But Ashe and BOB are cool enough, and the cinematic actually moved the story forward even if only a little, unlike the D.Va one.

Well mostly her model looks like a copy/pasted widowmaker, like she literally looks like she was supposed to be a generic cowgirl skin for widowmaker before they decided to make her a character. Also Moira, Brigitte, and Ashe make three conventionally attractive white women for women. After boasting about their diversity Overwatch seems particularly garbage at it half the time.

I also just like the big hat and cloak red and design a lot, mix it with the darker skinned concept and I think that would have had a much stronger silhouette and more striking design. At the moment Ashe just looks like a background character at best.

Pretty sure we're getting the Robot (allegedly, her name is Echo) in March.
If not then, then as our Summer hero.
Geoff said that Echo isn't coming any time soon.

He said maybe we'll get her after six other heroes get made.
 
The man brave enough to DEFECT from Talon has his origin video up:

 
as an on-and-off-player and Zenny main I worry a bit about my favourite robot getting even more obsolete.
 
Zen has been due for a rework for a while now. His orbs are quite fire-and-forget and could use an added mechanic of some kind to increase their interactivity. Maybe leash the health-per-second/damage-amplification to how well his teammates or Zen himself is doing?

To address your concerns more directly, I don't think a minor nerf and the introduction of a new support is anywhere near enough to put Zen out to pasture just yet. He's a much beloved top pick in OWL and Baptiste's ultimate is only going to enhance his already insane kill potential to astronomical heights. I'm pretty sure a Nano'd, Discord'd fully charged RMB volley through an Amplification Matrix could bring God himself to one knee.
