>Mccree's liberal SJW voice actor hears this and supports it
>is probably gonna get forced in to appease the fujoshi

Also if both this and reaper76 is canon all americans are gay in overwatch. What did Chu mean by that?

So, new skins right?

0/10

>buffing ana
Why would you do this?

And, though it could still change, I'm fairly sure in a interview a while back Chu or Metzen mentioned, canonically, the two have never ever met before and "maybe one day" they will.

Jamison Fawkes!

Man it's just bait. He's "copying" R76 posting and being overly obnoxious some other times insisting that crap Mercer said has any baring. Acting like its comparable to Chu literally saying there is a romance somewhere between Ana, 76, and Reaper. I don't know what brought it on.

I'm having too much fun with this.

Added both of Athena's modes. If she does get in she absolutely needs to transform between humanoid and quadruped forms and be a different class for each, Support/Defense for Humanoid and Offense for Quadruped.

Fairly certain all heroes in Overwatch will meet one day. Like all will eventually join Overwatch since most are heroes in the making or "villains" with a clear redemption plot.

It should have been the other way around. Her damage was fine, but her nade should have been the one that was gutted.

> Ana
> passive that increases heals she receives by 50% at all times (Stacks with nade buff)

That is not good at all, would make Ana way too strong at 1v1s and way too strong in group situations if she had 100% increased heals. I think a 50% SELF healing buff might be warranted though.

> D.Va
> taking damage refuels her DM meter
Would make her too strong against flankers while also making her too strong as a main tank. Blizz already said they don't want her to be too powerful because of how much mobility she has. Also, this could potentially cause huge problems with beam characters being able to damage her while her DM is up, would it be able to recharge while in use? If so i can see situations where DVa has endless DM potential.

Torb change is a neat idea though, could be interesting but also might be too strong late game when theres a bunch of armor packs floating around

> Orisa
Idk what to do with her either, maybe increase her body shot damage?

Why does everyone assume that is Athena when athena is the announcer?

>Torb is taller than me
Good god

The "A" on her head, for one. Also she can be the announcer and playable, she simply downloads a copy of herself into the Omnic body while the original program stays in the Gibraltar Watchpoint system.

Blizz wont change character silhouettes with skins. They wont have someone with the same voice as the announcer.

>Tfw talller than more than half the cast
It's an indifferent kind of feeling.

Make it so beams don't recharge her DM. But Geoff has insisted that D. Va be a DM whore but did nothing to facilitate that, so adjusting her kit and abilities to be a dedicated DM whore is necessary.

>Orisa

Reduce the size of her headbox, jesus fuck.

>Changes we need!

A new map would be nice.

Technically, if the foreshadowing in Reflections is any indication, but next December a large number of the team should be back together again. If not there is going to be a lot of mocking of Winston's "I have a good feeling about next year" line.

Since when does Athena have a silhouette right now? At the moment she's an AI in a computer with no body. And you're also assuming a lot about what Blizzard will and won't do, it's easy to make Athena's announcer voice and Omnic voice sound different while being the same voice plus everyone's already familiar with her announcer lines.

>Changes we need!
Buff everyone back to when they were powerful.

I'm 5'1"
Cmon Torbjorn can't possibly be taller than me, r-right?

She's actually weaker in 1v1 actually. She'd be taking 90 heal instead of the current 100, while at the same time healing other heroes for only 60 hp with her nade.

The proper numbers for the buff to D.Va's DM is something I haven't worked on. But she shouldn't be able to have DM up at all times without dying. Geoff clearly want her to be a mobile Rein for flankers, so might as well make her able to do that. They keep nerfing her damage afterall.

I think this is the reason they will use to explain why no one responded yet.

He's 4'7" according to that chart.

Do you know how feet and inches work?

>Numbani
>Gibraltar
>Oasis
Who comes up with these names? Are Blizzard gonna make more made-up maps and if so, what would you like to see in a Blizzard made map?

Not quite subtle enough, user.

Isn't the drone marked as 4'7" on the chart?

Yes but buffing her damage would make her able to kill flankers with 2 shots + nade again

>Gibraltar
>made-up

Here's your (You), now fuck off.

>american units
You might as well measure height in hamburgers or something.

>made-up maps

>gibraltar

Poor bait.

If blizzard isnt willing to change character silhouettes with skins. They won't have someone with the same voice as the announcer. That is what I meant. New players wont be familiar with announcer voicelines.

Pretty sure "you're pretty handy with that bow" has been in the game for a while

Well, here is the thing. We have foreshadowing scattered here and there. The big 3 will reconcile. Reaper will end up being a "situational" villain. Winston's line in Reflections. And there are more I can't think of off the top of my head. Problem is, they aren't going anywhere. We aren't moving the story along fast enough. Chu says updates will be faster but we still aren't seeing it yet. And with this snail pace I REALLY hope he doesn't just jump to everyone being back together suddenly by next December so he doesn't look like an idiot.

No. The bots, Ana, Sombra and Orisa have all been poorly shopped in by an user.

>mfw i just now noticed there are numbers on the left
Never fucking mind, I'm fucking retarded apparently.

Newfag here: Zarya, Dva or Orisa?

I'm already semi competent with a few dps (enjoy sombra and tracer) and heals (mostly ana but lucio is fun), so i want to pick a tank to practice in (mostly) soloqueue.

So which offers more to the team?

Playing Rein isnt an option because i dont hate myself that much yet.

Then lower nade damage to enemies to 30 too. 60 damage with her gun is just too low for how slow she shoots and the fact that she needs her ammo for both allies and enemies. Even Mercy's pistol outdamages her gun right now.

Post Devil mom.

Change what skins? Athena doesn't have a body yet. And again, the announcer and Omnic voices can sound different to distinguish between Announcer Athena and playable Athena, similar to how the characters say different things depending on what team they're on so you know which Zarya's using her ultimate.

>be junkrat
>drop trap/mine outside attack team side door
>'accidentally' tell 'my team' in all chat that i put a trap outside the front
>game starts
>instant trap
>double kill with mine

Zarya and D. Va
Zarya can easily set up a combo with other heroes, if you can coordinate it properly
D. Va is great in dive comps, which are getting more popular recently. Imo it's easier to carry with Zarya.
Orisa is pretty weak. Wait for buffs.

Zarya, literally always useful and the highest carrying potential

>stevo hits gm just by playing symmetra
>there are people who are not gm
Loving every laugh

Yea. 2017 is a quarter done and nothing has changed except bastion is with Torb now.
Been 142 days since the last animated short.
I pray that they are working on a pve mode that the halloween event was playtesting for.

I wish they release First Strike and just say it's non canonical.

We need something big.

Other character's skins.

thunks, now to save up for cybergoth.

There are even Mercy GMs user. As long as you hit a certain threshold of not sucking, if you keep at it you can eventually rank up regardless of who you're using.

>Other character's skins.

What do their skins have to do with Athena?

What are the age of Zenyattas siblings? Do you think we can tell how old he is by looking at his siblings? They look like they were born on the same day as the other omnics do besides Bastion. Zen looks like he could be 226 years old but he said he's been training Genji for a long time as a student. And he is in his 30s. The Omnic Crisis was decades before so we can narrow that down. But how old is Bastion and Orisa was just recently born. Zenyatta is one of the oldest Omnic monks to live along with his siblings but how old exactly we don't know. The second oldest in the game is Ana's Reinhardt. But they do not look nearly as old as Zenyatta but his skins show he was a pharaoh as well as a monk. Monks live on a long time but Zen is a robo monk and those can live about twice if not longer. Can anyone help? Here's a sweet desktop screensaver if you guys want one.

Blizzard won't change the silhouettes of Character's in skins so they won't add a hero that sounds the same as the announcer. Sure they could have different voicelines like how enemy's have different ult lines but the ult lines are jsut one line while Athena would have dozens or hundreds of voice lines and it would confuse new players.

Blizzard doesnt even let people sue skins in high level tournament play to keep things simple for new players.

I want to hope First Strike is still on the table and Chu is working on it. He says Gabe, Jack, and Ana are important and his favorite relationship. I don't care about the anal pain of "where is the focus on muh favorite character". A revised First Strike would fill in a HUGE chunk of the lore that is sorely lacking right now. I just want to hope Chu steps up and announces a new release date for it. I really do.

Zenyatta is 20.

...

What? No that's in human years. He's an Omnic, they're different.

I'm still confused about what skins have to do with a character who is only a voice right now, and you seem to think everybody who plays Overwatch is so stupid they wouldn't be able to tell voices apart or figure out the static announcement lines from the character in the match talking.

>zen is 20

>the omnic crisis happened 25 years ago according to Chu's timeline at GDC

Interesting.

>your dva matrix's herself when she gets peppered
>lets the mercy die during pharah/76 ults
>call them out on it
>"stop being so selfish"
Are healers not meant to be favored?

>tfw 76 gets no skins worth wearing over his default

see . thats what i dont understand. That age gap is what doesn't make any sense by the comics go on. Omnic years are different of that compared to human years. Zen is LITERALLY over 200 years old. He's only 20 to humans.

Have a better timeline. And its 30 not 25.

huh?

speeeeeeeed boooooooost

yeah i play lucio super aggressively and go for boop after boop, so I hope this patch is good for me

WHY CAN'T I GET OUT!! WHY!! WHY!!

May God forgive me for what I am about to say but... I'm actually starting to like Orisa.

I like his Strike Commander skin.

>End up in a game with a person who has nothing but 33 hours on Widowmaker in comp
>As soon as someone says, "dps bad" because we our support has the gold in damage, he decides to start trolling

I thought this shit stopped in Plat.

Nothing says he's 200 years old. He was built 20 years ago. That's it.

playoverwatch.com/en-us/heroes/zenyatta/

But it keeps his old man voice. They need the skins to be like the skins in heroes of the storm.

Some skins there completely redo the voice.

just as bland as default, every other skin is a strict downgrade in aesthetics.

?????

Wrong

Commando is great.

I got my POTG hacked today for the first time. As a Sombra main in the future when I get it I will nut even harder knowing the devastation the other player feels getting it stolen.

>orisa
>mercy
>symmetra
>winston
>soldier
>genji

makes for an unstoppable defensive line-up on R66

thats okay user. i have fapped to orisa too. honestly ever since i heard that the new character was being created by a little african girl i had that song "african child' stuck in my head and that got me thinking: what if efi accidentally made her have a robotic "vagina" because she was curious about her own body. she eventually first programmed for her to be inside orisa and she gets stuck and the only way to get efi out is for you to fuck orisa and cum inside her robotic bagina till 9 months later she is programmed to release efi.

I want to become good friends with Sombra and introduce her to things i like.

the blue jacket is pretty cool

it still happens in master

>orisa/symmetra shenanigans

feels good, bug

Nah, all the other blues keep half the gun white, smoke makes it pure white which is aesthetic as fuck, then you got Immortal, then Night Ops, then everything else

>play wiht a friend
>he gets a triple res and 6x assists
>potg time
>Mercy grafully fly-HACKED
>6x kill by me
>His disappointment was priceless

Stealing POTGs as sombra is a very rare thing
but denying the genji his POTG is so satisfying

Like vaping and jacking off to anime, yeah!

I want sombra to hack my pc and censor my porn and install a pornblocker and send me censored nudes daily with gradually decresing skin until im just jerking off to her fully clothed.

It was cool seeing Orissa today in the carbon entertainment stream. Looks like she can handle some koth action pretty good

I'm sorry those are all the hobbies you have.
This is kinda hot.

Consolefag here. I would love to switch to PC and I finally have the money to build one. Now my question is that, are you able to remap the movement buttons to the arrow keys? Because I am left handed. Which means if I want to aim good, my left hand would have to be using the mouse.

ah so you kinda see where im coming from?

i really wish more people would break from the norm and realize that there are really odd combos of heroes that make for a great team.
