The Overwatch Thread

Jutsei said:
Because it looks like if someone is making eye contact with another enemy hero, now everyone can see them through the walls, I don't understand it at all

If you've been playing Sombra, she has a passive that let's you see enemies with <50% health through walls. Also, if you're playing 3v3 (And I think 1v1, too), once you're a minute away from a draw, both teams get wallhacks.
 
If they're weirdly red and not completely outlined, then they're only seen by Sombra.
 
So guys I have Overwatch on PS4, friend got it for me, and I plan on getting the PC version as soon as I can. If anyone wants to play sometime, of course when I'm available, my PSN is BrandXPlus and my battle.net is BrandXPlus#1358

Developer Update | Symmetra Redesign | Overwatch

I'll give the tl;dw version.

Her primary fire's range has been extended by a bit.
She now starts with 6 turrets instead of three and they go on cd after usage just like before.
Her shield ability is now replaced with "Photon Barrier." Basically, a mobile Reinhardt shield that moves forward in one direction.
She is the first character in the game to have two ults to choose from.
Her first is the "Teleporter" which works as the same as before except now it has more health and most of it is shield health.
Her second one is the new "Shield Generator" in which it grants more shield health to all allies and can ignore line of vision when placed.

My main is gonna be fun to try out with her new kit.​

I saw how long the radius for the shield generator is and honestly it's beyond enormous like jeez
 
People are already showing it in practice and from looking at it, I think they could make the photon shield move a little bit slower.
 
Finally reached Master rank by solo que, The dream is real.
 
I'm hoping I got good luck for them loot boxes this time.
There's less random shit (Not EVERYONE gets a victory pose) so you statistically have a better chance of getting skins
 
The Symmetra and Widow intros are so worth.

yeah i would have to agree with you on that.

I would try to give Widow a kiss on the cheek if she allowed it. But alas... she's one to beat to the chase and start with the stomping...

The intro makes her more of a dominatrix than she already was to begin with and I approve it.

Now for the Valentine's event to where her and Hanzo get cupid outfits.

gasp that would be soooooooo good
 
I love the Zenyatta Nutcracker skin. The face just screams "you think this is a fuckin' game?" Perfect for everyone's favorite build-a-bhudda.
 
So, Blizzard has been getting backlash on Mei's outfit due to it being nothing more than a palette design.

Jeff has come out saying that he's sorry on how people felt about it and already has another Mei skin coming early next year.

My thought is it's possibly going to be a Lunar Revel/Valentine's Day collaboration and Mei will get a qipao outfit.
 
I get the backlash honestly, it's not a bad skin it just shouldn't be a legendary one. Having your freeze move get a little snowman head pales compared to Pharah's, Reaper's, and even Roadhog's cheaper skins
 
Anyone notice they have acknowledged the Gremlin jokes with the Christmas Cookie D.VA Spray?
 
Ninja said:
SKULLGIRLS IN THE TOP OF THE LIST. HAH~!

KNEW D.VA WAS A LAB ZERO FAN!
She also mentions Indivisible.
 
THIS COMIC FUCKING SAVED CHRISTMAS
HOLY SHIT
The fact Tracer is gay is just. fantastic. especially since she's the poster girl.
Naturally some more close minded people are upset about it on the Forums and I can't help but laugh at them.

But on another note, that comic was also really sweet and sad at points.
Widowmaker visiting her husband's grave has so many implications
And not to mention Reaper in the alleyway
 
I'm gonna say what I said on another forum about my thoughts on the comic.

Tracer seemed like a one-dimensional character, because the audience was only exposed to one side of Tracer's personality, the "hero" aspect.
Outside of a brutally short backstory of Tracer warping in-and-out of existence, nothing much is shown about the character.
Tracer is only seen in battle, fighting the "good fight" and thwarting the evildoers.

Emily's reveal could've paved the way for the writers to make Tracer a more deep, complex, and relatable character
IF they had made Emily a character. Emily, at this point, is nothing more than a plot device to reveal two things: One, Tracer has a significant other. Two, Tracer is bi-sexual or lesbian. The kiss they shared in the comic feels no different than a kiss on the cheek a relative would give while visiting.

It would've been much more interesting to see the strife in the relationship, how Tracer would cope with problems both in-and-out of home, to see the two grow off of each other, and to see their relationship evolve and mature to a point where the audience would see that kiss, the climax, the catharsis.

The build-up is what's missing, and as a result it feels like wasted potential imo.
One can only hope they do things differently for Reaper's Arc, because in that ONE panel Reaper felt more relatable than Tracer did in eleven pages.

Seriously, whoever the artist was for that panel, kudos to them.

i'm glad that blizzard has shown that even irritating non-characters can be gay too

inclusiveness matters big time
 
Tracer being interested in women is cool, but Emily just seems so so boring that I'm not surprised Tracer has never brought her up in conversation in game in front of her cool overwatch friends.

The part where all the other chars got a small dialogue-less images each showing how they all celebrated christmas, were each more interesting than the rest of the entire comic focusing on Tracer, imo. All it shows us is Tracer zipping and dashing around and failing to talk like a normal British person, and Emily being really pleased with a scarf, that apparently was sold out citywide so she clearly has basic tastes. #DumpEmily

They're just jealous Torbjorn gets more action then them on a daily basis

But yeah Jutsei's right. No matter how annoying or bland Tracer can be, she's the official mascot at this point. The face of Overwatch is gay now and no one can escape that. It's not a more side character and I think that's really a good step forward.

But I REALLY hope they keep going forward and don't just stay on the comic. More than 1 LGBT character, nods in game, etc and other simple stuff u know.

Also I really hope Pharah was eating with her dad and the little Canadian flag on TV is saying he's Native American so that costume of hers is better

I think Winston's sweater adds more character to him than Tracer's bits. Like, I wish Tracer could get some actual character besides the Calvary girl.
 
Tracer's gf can show up in game in other places besides being a playable character. Like Tracer's sprays, win poses, or a valentine mode where you collect chocolates against other Tracers idk
 
[NOW AVAILABLE] Oasis | New Map Preview | Overwatch (AU)

It's here.​
 
Good lord I was so lucky, someone I follow on Tumblr was talking about the winter event was still going on earlier this morning and I somehow nabbed the Nutcracker Zenyatta skin before it updated
