so what do you all believe hero 27 is going to be?
jeff said that they are "much needed"
...what kind of hero does overwatch NEED?
Luke Garcia
Here comes T.Racer!
Charles Reyes
REMOVE ONE SHOT CHARACTERS
Nathan Howard
Someone with slowing abilities because fuck Mercy, Tracer and Genji.
Brody King
A tank-healer hybrid.
Bentley Lewis
I'm expecting a hero that has an ability very similar to rez, or something that just hardcounters mercy/rez since they seem so reluctant to give mercy the treatment she deserves, they'll probably go some roundabout way of doing it.
Robert Miller
The hero that strongly counters Genji and Tracer. The hero that nerfs mercy.
William Hernandez
this is really getting me down, anyone had this sorta thing happen to them this season?
Robert Peterson
A flying tank to support Phamercy
Mason Gray
Threadly reminder that Big Daddy Rein loves his brown women
Joshua Lewis
A hero that either counters tracer and genji or one with anti-air ability
Christopher Brooks
Once again, I don't disbelieve this.
Easton Wood
Honest question, why the fuck do people feel the need to throw games? >hurr we're losing so I should choose a random character so the loss is even more embarrassing hurr If you're so fucking childish that you need to throw a match because you're not winning, stay in quickplay until you grow the fuck up or just don't play the game at all.
Samuel Cruz
...
Nathan Torres
Fucking shit game full of faggy try hards with no lives.
Jaxon Robinson
if mercy can just insta revive someone with a cast time can there be a caster that can just fucking kill someone every 30 seconds with a cast time thanks
Justin Johnson
>If you're so fucking childish 90 % are 6 year olds unironically
Thomas Reed
it's even more retarded when they just leave >stay and keep fighting for the chance to win >or leave and guarantee you lose twice as much SR and your team has no chance of winning
Justin Lopez
New hero that slaps a DNR on anyone he kills
Jaxon Russell
Hopefully this
Benjamin Morales
>A Hero with an ability that when used to kill an enemy removes their soul from the map
Mason Ortiz
Blizzard should add more heroes with auto aim so Overwatch can truly be cemented as a "skill" shooter.
Juan Gomez
A tank hero with a beam cannon like Zarya, but that can penetrate/disrupt shields
Jace Hughes
Who always picks FUCKING GENJI
Kayden Ward
>insta >cast time pick one
Nolan Perez
Karthus ult in OW when?
Xavier Phillips
A hero that tosses a cast net and causes the trapped enemy to tumble in the direction they were going would really fuck with tracer/genji/mercy
If torb wasn't shit he'd do that too.
Jaxon Brooks
Is 54% scoped accuracy for Widow good? I've been playing her for a few hours. My critical hit is like 12% which isn't that great, but I'm just wondering if scoped accuracy needs to be in the 70s like it is for my Ana scoped shots.
Sebastian Hill
So, Moira?
Jaxon Gray
from what ive inferred about placement and SR this season, if you can only play one role you're "weighted" less, ESPECIALLY the higher SR you go
i personally believe that blizzard is trying to incentivize flexing.
Look at it from the system's point of view.
>yeah she's pretty good at support >shes only played two heroes in 10 matches >seems like she's ONLY good at support >man this dude seems like a liability if all of the support roles are filled
see where im coming from? granted i do NOT work at blizzard, nor do i think this is exactly 100% how the system works, but this is how it feels to me
Hudson Mitchell
I cant wait any longer, I just need to see how nice her ass looks on this skin
Isaiah Robinson
God if only, like with genjj he might be able to pull some miracle kill, but damn it's so much worse most of the time
Julian Wood
Reapers soul eating thing could've done this, to stop resurrect. If Mercy mains bitch about this hardcounter, just point out what Ana and her pissjar can do to Zen's ultimate.
Oliver Gonzalez
Only thing that matters is being able to kill people when it matters. Accuracy is easy to pad by shooting shields. Who gives a fuck. If you can kill someone important in a cluster fuck, that's all anyone should care about.
Carson Flores
tfw actually got a higher sr for this season than what i ended up at for last season thanks blizz
Kevin Price
Are you not climbing at all with that positive winrate?
William Sanders
>literally autistic Is symmetra /our guy/
Hudson Perez
hello user, could you add some detail to this post i made a moment ago? do you flex multiple roles and very different characters?
Jose Gray
A couple seasons back those kids would always go Minecraft Bow Man and get killed instantly, nowadays you have to worry about the faggots with smurf accounts who think they're good at Widow. I just want out of fucking gold.
Luis Nelson
That would be pretty cool. And would make sense because as a fucking engineer you'd think he could make something besides just sentry turrets.
Gabriel Perez
Im not doing my placements til blizzard releases balance changes. Why didnt jeff announce the mercymain suicide nerf in his developer update?
Sebastian Price
THAT'S WIDOWMAKER !??? She looks like mercy !!!
Zachary Davis
I'd like to say literally all my stats are higher won 7 out of 10 got 1700sr, and I played multiple roles, all actually
Jackson Miller
Jeff also said the hero has already been shown very much like how Moira was when she was in Doomfist's comic.
It's this. This is hero 27. It can't be anything else.
Ryan Kelly
That's Nova. Do you know what Starcraft is?
Cameron Harris
they do it because it's the only way it makes them feel like they're in control
Asher Sanders
People here have suggested that torb be able to pick his turret's targets by alt firing with his hammer or something.
I'd prefer if the turret just wouldn't target shields, or he have a menu option that let him choose his turret's top 5 priority targets. Torb is too shit to surrender his weapon for a little extra utility.
Gavin Peterson
I didn't mean the character as in characterization, I meant, "what role will this new hero fit". It seems odd that Jeff says something so "absolute" like overwatch NEEDING a hero
Henry Williams
>pick Hanzo >everyone starts bitching
When will this stigma against Hanzo end? He's actually viable on certain maps and even on others he can be amazing when used correctly.
Lucas Martin
I'm pretty sure it's going to be Maximillien. We really need a Talon Omnic.
Isaiah Miller
>"much needed" hero A game developer that can actually balance this mess
Matthew Morales
not the guy you're replying to, but I placed 50SR below my career high and 40SR above my season final. I play only two heroes for placements, Orisa and Winston. However after placements I played 14 games, 7 wins 7 losses, playing Winston, Orisa, Zarya, Soldier, Zen, Mercy and Roadhog, and ended up 15SR higher than what I placed
Carson Price
It will never be max
Charles Myers
No I've never played the games in my life. But after a quick search they do look familiar. This is some nice fan service for those who do I guess. Hopefully we get WoW skins on the line
Jayden Murphy
hes viable like mei is viable
if you are good they are viable
Hudson White
>a fully DPS Zenyatta
Goddamn that would be amazing
Justin Williams
Because hanzo is the ultimate shitter magnet and 99% of people that play him are shitter retards
James James
It's because of how hard he is to play. It's honestly a coin flip when it comes to him. Unless Hanzo picks up a gun you're have to bare this burden
Josiah Jones
ROBOT CROCODILE WHEN
Asher Perez
ARE YOU MOTHER FUCKERS READY??
Charles Collins
Hero 27 will super buff Tracer and Genji because the game NEEDS more action packed speed kills in owl for views and shekels.
Oliver Reed
I mostly heal for comp but for my placement matches this season I played flex roles I played tank and healer almost about evenly but I did also dps if my usual roles were taken I'm not the best dps but I can 76 pretty well or junk depending on the map
Jaxson Torres
for another no aim required melee memer in my fps?
Asher Williams
>like to play tanks >cannot for the life of me learn how to play Zarya
Feels bad man, I really want to play her because I think her kit is really fun but I always perform like ass on her.
Levi Smith
>Hopefully we get WoW skins on the line I guess you haven't heard
Nathan Carter
What if Hammond is the bunny we saw in Moira comic? What if he's number 27?
Levi King
>Hanzo gets bants voicelines with Nova-skin Widow like he does with Widow-skin Nova in HotS
Ethan Robinson
>another mei skin
Dylan Perez
Which series is Mei's outfit from?
Carter Cook
It's from her animated short. Yes it was that forgettable.
Aiden Wright
>plays hanzo >people ride his ass because he isn't switching to a useful hero or getting kills >"hurr how come everybody hates hanzo" Hanzo is only good if your team is good enough to afford a hanzo, or the hanzo is good enough to carry. The latter is almost unheard of.
Ayden Diaz
That would have been more fitting to add during the winter event
Hudson Long
watch harbleu, he's a really good offtank player, mostly hog and zarya, he plays plays zarya in quite an aggressive way, otherwise I think Canasian is a good zarya in a bit more of a passive style. Zarya is loads of fun and you can do a lot with her with high charge. I'd give tips myself but I'm not that high rank so you're probably better off watching some high rank zarya games.
Easton Parker
>People already talking nerfing Orisa This fucking community is a joke, nothing can ever be good ever. Not even a month ago people were saying she was one of the worst characters in the game but now that dive is slightly less popular she's apparently broken.
Evan Watson
Nah that's not how I roll, I always switch if I'm not doing shit or if Hanzo doesn't work in the comp, it's just really fucking annoying to get bitched at when I'm top DPS and clearly not the problem.
Blake Morgan
>Cancer shieldspam is OK Sure is fun being forced to pick Junkrat to counter this trash. Oh wait, Junkrat is also broken and it's the only shit keeping Orisa in check. Can't fucking wait for those sweet nerfs
Easton Diaz
>50 something day mute ends tomorrow At least now I'll be able to tell people to switch their garbage picks
Asher Wilson
Yeah she's not broken at all ! Just break her shield. And if she sets another JUST BREAK IT and if she sets another JUST BREAK IT and if she sets another JUST BREAK IT and if she sets another.... " Wait...What do you mean we're in overtime ?"
Brody Sanchez
Cute female (male) medium range mobile hero
Juan Martinez
Orisa only sees so much use because the meta favors such a slow spammy playstyle, if we were in season 4 or 5 with current Orisa there would be no problem. Orisa isn't the problem, she's just popular because she compliments the spam.
David Hughes
>finally got a Sombra potg >finally got to ruse on someone's elses highlight intro
Gabriel Wood
Honestly they should just make it so that the shield timer doesn't start going down until the shield is broken. Maybe they'd need to make the cooldown shorter but still.
At least make it so you can't fucking shoot a shield up into the sky, wait 5 seconds for it to land and practically already have one on standby.
Asher Lee
>why aren't Orisa shields breaking faster against my comp of two snipers and four supports, which is the only combination of characters that can't shatter that garbage in two seconds
Angel White
Eh, it happens. But you're pretty much forced to roll with it since you're in the minority as a good hanzo player and with the added deficit of Hanzo not exactly being meta in the first place.
Easton Sullivan
t. wood
Levi Scott
if you're running a half decent comp and you're team has enough chromosomes to shoot the shield then it's easy to break it before it's off cooldown. Or just use one of the many highly mobile, OP DPS to go around the shield shoot because she has zero mobility.
Chase Miller
Geeeee this might sound funny to you, but sometimes people aren't in the mood to fucking pick fort knox eh ?!
Connor Rodriguez
Neither will be nerfed, stay mad.
Ayden Morales
>have a good game >compliment people on the great heals/kills >made 5 new friends in the past 2 days
I guess the community isn't always dogshit.
Logan Wright
I wonder if Hero 27 is something that will enable Bastion?
Think about it.
Bastion is the ultimate universal counter, but the problem is that he is overreliant on his entire team supporting and defending him from Tracer and Genji, causing Sombra and the threat of her ¡Apagando las luces! to become the ultimate anti-counter.
My only problem is that I can't think of a single unique weapon that they could create or design that isn't overly-similar if not completely indentical to a currently existing one, being that we already have 3 assault rifles.
Carter Sanchez
>people want Orisa nerfs now Wow
Carter Hernandez
>Or just use one of the many highly mobile, OP DPS to go around the shield shoot because she has zero mobility. sooooo junkrat like said ?? okay then
Isaiah Baker
So when a Zen is doing more dmg than healing, is that a good Zen or you're doing it wrong Zen?
Chase Nguyen
>mfw the few people yelling for Orisa nerfs will probably be heard by blizz >Meanwhile everyone is screeching for Mercy gutting >Jeff: Well my wife likes mercy and she has fun when playing her so I dont want mercy to be nerfed
Charles Garcia
>900hp shield >junkrat 120hp per shot >6 shots >2250sr widow main can't be fucked to finish off the rest
Elijah Jackson
A centurion with a gladius.
Austin Moore
>Two replies telling to pick Junkrat to counter Orisa You fuckers are just proving their point
Caleb Parker
Depends, if you keep distributing your harmony orbs before going in for the damage it's fine, your heal is super passive any way so nothing is really keeping you from dealing damage while teammates are getting healed.
Also high damage = fast ults = more heals overall.
