tracer is shit

Moira "It's Pathetic if it's not Eugenic" O'Deorain

Moira "Goebbels taught me how to be a Nazi" O'Deorain

Brigitte when?

4th for the piss wizard

Esports kills video games

So is Piss Wizard her official name now?

can I download the music somewhere they use somewhere for the reinhardt cinematic, have they even released it?
in particular the part where he bursts out of that building to save those two troopers

What a horrible opinion.

G-goy please you're just jealous overwatch esports is successful. Come watch the Korean games with us

Alright everyone, what did you think of this year's Blizzcon? Good announcements?

“I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.”

dog girl pharah is the only good part

>all these childfags complaining about sexy tomboy Irishwoman
If I wasn't already hard from Moira, your tears would achieve the same result.

>Again, stopping its shit doesn't mean she wanted it gone or shut down

>"Overwatch was shut down for a reason. Maybe it's best it stay that way."

???

pretty much, don't how blizzard didn't realize how much the stuff she shoots out looks like you are giving your teammates a golden shower. They could have at least made it look more gaseous.

It even splashes against the floor.

new character looks cool, if they could pump out characters like paladins maybe this game would have some variety.

map looks like hogshit though. so much for maintaining a consistent world, blizzard circlejerk is too important i guess

I love Tracer! Post your best pics of her.

secret shimada sister who revives her clan with the aid of talon WHEN

>"And so Genji sensually gets close to Olivia as she's panting in excitment, breathing heavily in anticipation. As his hand grabs her slim shoulder she shudders at his cold touch. She begins panting even harder as Genji inches closer to the side of her head and finally her ear. "Say those three words and I'm yours," Sombra says. As Genji inches closer, he finally whispers in a seductive tone, "I need healing."

It's nice getting a new hero, map and a short animation, but honestly, HotS and WoW had more to offer this Blizzcon. Both will have big changes coming up, not to mention new content, while OW keeps moving at a snail's pace.

Will we have to wait for another year, before they announce a new game? Or where is all the time and effort sinking into?

What I'm most disappointed about, is the fact that they plainly said there were no plans on adding clans or other social aspects to the game. And that just kills it for me.

Captcha: horses dead

we already have a porn board, fuck off

blizzard has always existed as a company in overwatch though. there's really nothing wrong with the map, they even said it's a blizzard that never made overwatch

how fast does paladins make characters.
Thought map was weird as well, like are they really at such a lack of ideas they have to take the joke that Blizzard is in OW world and make a disneyland of it?

pls refer to

They shit out a character a month.

>That's why she says "maybe" when she talks about it being shut down and it being for the better. It doesn't mean she wanted it shut down, just stopped.

???
Do you just selectively read?

>map looks like hogshit though. so much for maintaining a consistent world, blizzard circlejerk is too important i guess

StarCraft II and Hearthstone exist in the OW world, the other games and Blizzard itself likely do too, stop bitching about a map that's a theme park based off of them.

...

7/10

never, because they scrapped her design to make the shimada brothers.

>They shit out
I wouldn't be surprised.

>literally says maybe when talking that it was good or not that it was shut down
>she definitely wanted it shut down

They know. It's probably designed by the same guy who makes poop quests in WoW

that seems like a way to burn out really quick

Thank you. She's very cute.

>I'm afraid of sharing my donut steel character in a serious way that might garner ridicule, so instead I'm going to shitpost about it so that I can deflect any critical judgment by saying it was a joke

You just want straight incest porn with your shitty self insert shimada fucker

>StarCraft II and Hearthstone exist in the OW world, the other games and Blizzard itself likely do too, stop bitching about a map that's a theme park based off of them.

no, i won't stop bitching. come up with new ideas instead of relying on other properties. are are they already out of ideas probably since the new hero is a conglomerate of reddit's ideas

fuck Jake, shittiest dps player ever. EVER. Just threw the game as Pharah

>Veeky Forums lurkers unironically wanted this garbage design

Who's getting skins besides Mei for Year of the Dog?

jesus, they really didn't notice that.
I don't want to think about the possibility that they did notice it or did it on purpose.

I'll take it. I don't plan on ever making it a habit.

Never. You'll get a Japanese-Swiss Half-breed and you'll like it.

>implying i'm the first to come up with that idea
and no i just want a cute japanese girl hero

fucking wizzards

Draw your main in paint, post results

Early in a game's life, and competing with Overwatch, they need to put out a lot of characters. Adds variety, complexity, and a chance to appeal to everybody, like how Riot has a waifu for everyone.
Later on the game will be kept alive by skins, slower character releases, rebalancing, and additional tweaks.

Honestly it's a lot better than how OW devs can't even put out an event every month and all content sits on PTR for a month before you get to try it out in the live game.

> Jake > Sinatrra
no doubt

>OH MY GOD THIS ONE THING IS NOT WHAT I WANT OR LIKE ARE THEY TOTALLY OUT OF IDEAS LIKE GAMEFREAK WHO MAKE 100 NEW POKEMON EACH GENERATION BUT ARE SOMEHOW TOTALLY LACKING IN IDEAS BECAUSE I SAY SO ALSO REDDIT IS OUR MORTAL ENEMY THEY ARE BEHIND THIS PANIC PANIC DOOM DOOM

And this is why game companies tend to hate their playerbases.

>tfw you're a dirty healslut
>tfw Moira fits all that you want
Finally a main that I can actually not hate. Zenyatta and Symmetra have been getting a little boring.

I like Moira and her concept. But jesus, yeah she is a Frankenstein monster of Reddit ideas, talon vampire healer with auto aim. It feels like to me she exists gameplay wise and lore wise just to plug some holes.
I want to play with her first though, before I call her shit or not.

...

go to bed, Jeff

Sombra's default skin looks terrible and cyberspace/augmented are the only skins that make her look good
The right one in that picture would have been so much better

>auto aim

On literally one attack, the rest you need to aim. And I've seen "vampiric healer" posted here for months.

gamefreak making less than 100 is good
when they make over 100 you get shit like gen 5

Ahahaha fucking activision. I will never forgive them for killing blizzard.

>deflecting the blame by saying (you) didn't even come up with it

EXACTLY AS I PREDICTED

Give me Azula already Blizzard

>Your bladder hurts
>you have to pee
>But I won't let you near the loo
>Now relax, young mercy, open your mouth and accept my pee

Does Reaper have enough physical and solid mass to fuck? At least fap? Doesn't seem fair for him to be essentially a eunuch, what with sombra and widow constantly wriggling their butts around him.

>opponent advertises their twitch in chat before game starts

>I go on and start watching it to know their positions

>they complain and say I should get banned

I think Gen 5 for Pokemon was an anomaly because they tried making it Gen 1 2.0. If I recall, most gens had at least over 100.

>chat is just memes and spam, what are you planning to do with that?
>nothing right now
welp

I like the "Poison" concept, but it would be somewhat silly if all the Shimadas hated each other, or something. Genji is "dead", and off doing whatever. Hanjo is a moody cunt, in exile. And then the sister is trying to rebuild the empire without her brothers' blessing? I dunno.

>cyberspace
We agree that Cyberspace looks good. I bought it immediately on her release, partially since I was disappointed she's a big head Mexican and not a sentient virus.

...

>She's a tranny, isn't she Blizzard?
>No
>No Blizzard, right, she's a tranny? Right? She's a transexual? Male-to-female?
>No
>No Blizzard, you're not hearing me. We're talking about diversity here. Moira. Is. A Tranny?
>No

Fucking hilarious.

I'm just happy that the game isn't dead. But yeah, they really need to pick up the pace with both maps and heroes.
I hope that now the esports is out of the way, that the coders can get back on their main job.

Maybe if you're immature. It looks like gold dust to me

I'm not saying they're running out of ideas but the general trend of new pokemon is on the decline.
My point is that I think I'd actually prefer less new pokemon if they aren't good, even if there's till more good ones.

Gen 5 had like 150 new pokemon and like 20 of them were bad, but that's still a lot more than most other gens.

to bad shes asexual and aromantic

she looks like ganondorf

Does anyone have a link for the Overwatch What's New panel?
Or at least a list of what they revealed?

>sentient virus
God,I actually am disappointed that some of the fan concepts didn't become real, some where really cool.

>I hope that now the esports is out of the way, that the coders can get back on their main job.
you poor, sweet, naive user
didn't you see the new update on e-sports?
e-sports is gonna be a full time job adding things

I wish I could share your optimism. But I'm not seeing any indication that things will significantly perk up in the near future.

>tfw we could have had any number of good designs but got stuck with fagando i'm useless

So is it true the new hero is a tranny?

Personally, I don't know. I'm just commenting that having more than 100 isn't bad in itself when Gen 5 was this weird case. I haven't touched Pokemon in a long time but the ones I do remember had more than 100 new ones.

No, it's David Bowie.

>i'm just happy that the game isn't dead
it's only 1.5 years old. this should be the game's golden years, or at least the silver years. there should be fast and heavy development on the game, things should be exciting
instead we get a map and a character every 6 months and recycled events

>Sentient Virus

Oxton being gay doesn't stop the SFM gods.

>jake refused to switch off pharah when he was getting fucking deleted by flower time and time again

Was he throwing?

No, and thats the best part

gen 2 had 100
gen 3 had 135
gen 4 had 107
gen 5 had 156
gen 6 had 72
gen 7 had 84 (plus a few more in 2 weeks)
I think they were trying to Prove A Point in gen 5 or something, and they ended up just making some really garbage designs along the way

What a waste of a character design. She should have at least been a skin for Reinhardt.

No, just a reverse Hideyoshi.

...

>60 year old man voice coming out of 20 year old face
I want this just for how funny it would be

>not their mechanics
>not how they interact with other classes
>not their character (which is fairly significant, even though it's a soft retcon)
>just that they're a crossdresser instead of a tranny, that's the most important part of them

you don't understand. it it all dates back to the legend of the dragons of the north and south wind. you may have heard of it: the legendary battle between the two dragon brothers, who fought and then eventually reconciled their differences, vowing to rebuild what they once destroyed.

however, there is a secret continuation that is rarely spoken of. when the two dragons returned to their lands, they saw it ruled by a third: the dragon of the central wind. this common enemy bound the two brothers together, showing the true strength of their bond. but when the conflict was over, they found they could not strike it down... for it was their sister.

unfortunately this is where the tale ends, as the truth of what happened that day has remained forever a mystery

We got map, hero and short. My guess is that they deliberately held off releasing stuff for Blizccon, but yeah, they really need to crank out more heroes for a game that makes them so much money.

You get one of the best gens with a lot of good usable Pokemon? Agreed.

Further confirmation that Reyes's emotion during the experimentation is indeed fear as confirmed in the comments. Chu said this as well in the panel today.
