Just thought that was kinda funny. Also I know Junkrat has the jester options as well, and Soldier has a scary clown skin.

I guess you already could have all circus in open queue, but now you can with 2-2-2.

News & Discussion After watching FNAF2, I thought it could be fun if they did a FNAF x Overwatch Collab

Post image
799 Upvotes

I just watched the 2nd FNAF movie and thought it'd could be fun if they had a collab with Overwatch. I'm not really a FNAF fan (pretty much only watched the movies and some of the Gametheory videos), but I do like the animatronics (they're really awesome in the movies).

For some reason I spent way to much time photoshoping my ideas badly for fun (as I can't really draw).

If they're not obvious, it's Reinhardt as Freddy, Roadhog as Foxy, Orisa as Chica and Junker Queen as Bonnie. I made them all as tanks as the animatronics in the movie just gave a very heavy feeling.

News & Discussion Which heroes do you think could actually defeat their in-game counter in the lore?

Post image
739 Upvotes

In-game, counters are purely designed around abilities, mechanics, and gameplay balance. But if we look at the actual lore and canon power levels, some of those match-ups would play out completely differently...

So which heroes do you think would realistically beat their hard counter in a lore-accurate fight? Or on the flip side, which in-game counter match-ups actually make total sense in canon?

I have to pad the body of this post with something so it isn’t automatically removed. Made in Procreate, motivated by how insanely beautiful she is. I’m contemplating doing more based on other heroes, but I’m having a hard time deciding who’s next.

Zarya is one of my favorite heros. I really like her visual design, abilities, and also lore. I think it'd be super cool if Zarya and her side of Overwatch's story was explored further and expanded upon.

News & Discussion How do you guys not feel bitter/frustrated about your heroes getting worse quality skins (or barely/no skins) than others?

Post image
230 Upvotes

I can't help but feel frustrated when I see the kinds of skins some heroes gets and quality/effort the developers put into them while the rest get the content that has visibly less care put into it

For example how I waited so long for Soldier76 to get a mythic skin and they completely half-assed it with visibly less effort in it than other even recent mythics such as less details/colors in armor, less special effects/barely visible base VFX, less and boring unique voicelines and so on.

Or his Street Fighter skin for example on the picture that's mostly a recolor of his default skin while others got great looking skins. Or how they tend to keep him in the more default themes with only a few exceptions SINCE OW2 started like Class President 76, Charming76 or Heist76.

Or another hero I like Torbjorn who doesnt even get skins. Or Winston who also when rarely gets something it's usually worse than others'.

And it's not even about the popularity and how much money a hero brings in, because from my examples both Soldier76 and Winston are popular and among the most recognized faces of Overwatch

I shouldn't care about it, but can't help feeling this way when I see something one of the Blizzard/devs' favored heroes have and think why can't the hero I love have things like that?

Open doors everywhere. Go in any direction and sure enough there's a couple of doors where you can circle around the enemy. It's just a narrow path with a bunch of shortcuts on the side.

News & Discussion I've been confused for a while now about why they decided to call the new character "Doctrine" and I'd really appreciate help in understanding it.

93 Upvotes

Maybe I'm missing something, but I genuinely don't know how you're supposed to get that name from a character who's essentially a vampire that uses technology to drain the life from people so he can extend his own. Every other name so far has made sense, but calling him "Doctrine" just isn't clicking for me.

If anyone here does get it, I'd love an explanation.

News & Discussion Method for Improving

69 Upvotes

I saw Sunshinebread (an OW streamer) say like a week ago one of her methods for improving was to watch VODs of really good players, but like sit there with ur hands on the controls and literally pretend you’re playing and any time the player does something different than you, stop and try to think about why.
It sounded goofy at first but holy shit it works. It’s like watching VODs but 10x as engaging, I genuinely learned so much. And one of the biggest things I found was also learning how not EVERY decision is critical. Like sometimes my choice wouldn’t have mattered one way or the other. But like significant choices (cooldown/ukt uses, target prio, and timing mainly) were very teachable.
Highly recommend. A lot of the Korean pros have VODs out there. I wouldn’t say recommend watching actual pro match POVs cuz that gameplay is way different, but pros just in comp was helpful af
