>Highlights from an August 22 developer Q&A stream:
- Plenty of super secret changes coming to the competitive system's back-end for Season 6
- Vague Mercy changes, not sure what, but they're specifically designed to make her less frustrating
- D.Va rework: defense matrix lasts half as long, damage output is being buffed, shoot while flying, new ability (micro missiles)
- They're aware of Mercy / off-meta mains gaming the SR system; back-end SR calculation changes coming... eventually
- No solo-only queues or search preferences coming, but they're aware of how much the community wants it
- Maybe map voting / rotation someday (once more maps are out)
- See-through objective markers "soon"

>We could have had literally any other short
>We got that garbage

>mei isn't fat it's just a padded suit!

Zenyatta is here.

can someone post mei's feet from the new short

>10 minutes of fucking nothing
>ALL THAT RENDERING IN MAYA
>ALL THAT PAINSTAKINGLY ANIMATION BY HAND, FRAME BY FRAME

TEN MINUTES
T E N M I N U T E S
JESUS IM SO MAD AS A MEI PLAYER FUCK

Mei's short movie:

youtube.com/watch?v=xFSYN6jkirk

Sombra online.

>This leak was 100% right about Orisa and the Mei short
Where's this nigger now?

did he post any replies?

>people mad that Mei got a short
So mean honestly

Zarya short next guys!

I was trying to make the new thread myself and I kept getting a "Field too long" error, anyone knows what it means?

Meike, it's been 9 years...

>Junkrat and Roadhog's SFM shoe string budget short had more personality and story than Mei's 5 billion dollar 10 minute cinematic

>there is an anomaly in Antarctica
Alien horror confirmed

>no Zen short
>no Lucio short
>no Zarya short
>Junkers only get some cheap SFM bullshit

Hopefully we don't have to wait another year after blizzcon for more of these shorts

>Pharah was on the poster and she didn't get anything

Animation was kino
Mei can't carry a story on her own and her VA is not really good

>ten minutes of non-stop exposition
>with mei's retarded accent

BRAVO CHU

That's it, Mei won the Waifubowl

At least it wasn't about Pharah.

DA BADDERI :DD FUGG :DD
WINSDUN YES

YES WISSON

I WANT A REINHARDT TITTYPAD

Also, what a shitty short Jesus Christ.

What a fucking waste of time!

BASED LEAKER, PROBABLY ONE OF THE ANIMATORS

>Reddit praising the shit short as the kino of the century

I dont know what I expected

Mei's short was so fucking bad she may have just become the joke waifu.

>Was expecting pharah
>Got chinese bae

Everything came better than expected

>people think this is what constitutes as "fat"

nice try, burgerland

Jeff probably ordered a hit job on him

>origin """""""""""""""""""""""story"""""""""""""""""""""""

This. We're far from how awesome "Alive" was

Also this

Mark I or PJs?

er, merci

>ten years in the future
Actually it was 9 years, he was completely wrong. Did you even watch the short?

That's not fat, it's THICC. Like actual THICC, with chub in all the right places.

Literally the best female body type.

If she was fat shed have chins and im not talking about her family

Well she's still not as fat as her suit makes her look. She's in line with her rooster skin.

>that is fat

Nah son, that is thicc. Proper thicc. Not meme thicc.

AHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah it was cute but I think it was a bad idea to start off the next series with it. We've been waiting almost a year.

strawpoll.me/13771501

It's time.

I'm glad I'm not invested in this shit game because if I was this starved for content and then Blizzard presented this garbage after 10 MONTHS without any cinematics, I'd probably neck myself

What the fuck is the second thing he said, cause youtube's CC sucks

I want a reinhardt cinematic!

>Mei
now that's a ResidentSleeper. at least we got that boring bitch out of the way I guess.

Mei buffs soon

stupid /owg/ hyping me for pharah
Stupid blizz for shitting out NOTHING
Stupid me for having any trust left.

Alive >>>>> boop > the museum one > bastion > soldier >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this dumpster fire
Was alive just a fucking miracle

mei confirmed best girl

They praised fucking Bastion short. Those people will eat up and praise any garbage Blizzard shits out.

They should animate more Bloo

A Mei short has potential, but they had fucking nothing happen. She has no character. She has no personality.

It was pointless.

Low test

>Literally the most plot affecting part was the loading-in cinematicwe already have, within the cinematic
It was going for the beauty slant, but it just didn't hit Last Bastion in spectacle.
Still, better than most shit from other devs nowadays, keep in mind that this is the first cinematic in this cinematic season.

There's other ones to come yet.

I'll look it up but most of the shit is gone and scrubbed from web

Fuck off pleb, Bastion short was kino

PJs

They could have at least had widow try to kill her

>people literally being fucking blind when saying she isn't thick now
blind motherfuckers. gonna bust a nut to this bitch
her JP voice actress is a million times better

stealing the queens cash, blowing up her summer shack, the beatdown at the bar

>Not a Rein short

Why bother using an actually interesting hero

Crusaders were in the bastion cinematic so that's unlikely

The Bastion short IS the best short, primarily because there's not a hint of fucking dialogue so the garbage writers can't fill the film with garbage exposition. It became show don't tell because their hands were fucking forced.

>The best ones are the ones about the villains
HMMMM

Blizzturd needs to stop giving crap characters all the attention. Of course it doesn't help that the majority of the heroes are pure shitters.

Maybe he's right. Mei didn't really get a qipao, though, so I just assume he got lucky.

She's fuckable here

Every short was all form and no substance.

short was trash, feels painfully obvious how badly they were trying to replicate the bastion one

>all those
>MAKE ANIMATION SHORT ABOUT CHARACTER WHO ALREADY HAS ONE
>or a comic at least
>btfo
Sorry sorry sorry.

Why couldn't she have taken off her sweater just once so we could see her in the tank top?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

Alive was factually the worst short before Mei's was released.

The Last Bastion was good cause it didn't rely on dialogue to tell a story.

Meanwhile, Rise and Shine has Mei talking way too much.

Dragons>Museum>>>>>>>>>>Bastion=Sombra>>>>>>Alive>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>S76>>Mei

what's the chinese thing she says when she wakes up from her sleep?

There are no interesting heroes in Overwatch.

Definitely.

the animated shorts are reserved for meme heroes obviously. guess the next one will be Symmetra.

Yeah, well, at least we didn't get a shitty musical.

>posts facebook level meme
>thinks infiltration was good

SFM Porn has better storytelling than this short.

>no actual peril if Mei could just leave at any time
>Snowball's heroic sacrifice was moot because he's fine in the present day
>mei decides she can WALK OUT OF ANTARCTICA only after catching the end of a recording from Winston
>overarching plot advancement: zero
>new revelations: zero
>nothing but fanservice
>probably anime references hidden somewhere

How the FUCK did this man get the position of lead writer

The fact that dragons isnt on here make me chuckle.

Blizzards such a shit company. They have gone full tumblr reddit tier shit

God I just want to fuck the shit out of her

>kino
what is this and why do you keep saying it

Mercy/Genji short when?
No way Chu won't have Genji appear in it.

t.tracer

Weebs neck yourselves

I'll think you find Last Bastion was the objective best
Since none of them actually progress the story, it beats the others by sheer spectacle

just saw a gold border player that was plat

how can someone be that trash

Kinesthetic

Something so emotionally impactful you have a rush of energy run up your spine, or get goosebumps.

Dragons is weeb thrash. Bastion's one is kino
