New Overwatch Event Leaks( Also confirming other leaks)

Not all of this is true I work at the Irvine offices, I'm not going to say what specifically is wrong, but just know it's 2/4 of those lines are true.

Also, further leaks

How? It's as mindless and easy to pick-up and play as CS:GO or any other multiplayer shooter.

Making up new characters isn't hard, Orisa has another fucking shield and a mini-Zarya pull. Mechanically everyone's guns aren't very unique or playstyle changing, except projectile characters, so its just 3-4 abilities.

They've put out 4 maps and 3 characters in a year, and all the maps are clusterfuck shits like the launch maps were.

Yeah. Doomfist is awesome and all: don't get me wrong. I'm pumped as fuck.
What kind of drags out in the story is that Overwatch lacks real villains. Omnics, of course. DF#2 is the scourge. But that just leaves Talon. Of the 24 playable characters, only 3 are truly villains (Reaper, Widow, and Sombra)
The lore is great in the backstory, but now it seems aimless. What great big bad is so terrifying that they needed to recall at least 17 purely good characters to kick the asses of three people...
Doomfist #3 is still up in the air. Can't tell lorewise what his intentions are: I can see him being good. Bria only hyped to play an area of denial hero and not her lore as much.
Which leaves me with Ivon. I've had my own theories that the leader of Talon would make a bigger impact in the game and make a huge splash on the lore (think Giovanni from Pokemon). From the description of him, an old man in a suit, revolver, and robots to do his bidding... Is Ivon the leader of Talon?

Why would you need to pollute the game with even more useless heroes? Sombra was bad enough, Orisa is fairly broken in the right hands but that's to be expected.
If Blizzard just kept adding character after character you'd end up with an even BIGGER unbalance.

>>375974185
That's because Hots isn't as high maintenance as Overwatch. It's also an rts, not an fps, big difference.

They need to overhaul their map design philosophy so they can actually introduce new mechanics/characters. Rein is a necessity because of the maps/modes, and Orisa was an attempt to become the new Rein but she is shit.

LMAO SHIELDS is absolute cancer type of gameplay that OW has had since launch

>>375976512
>LMAO SHIELDS is absolute cancer type of gameplay that OW has had since launch
This. I wouldn't even mind temp shields that you could only deploy for so long

But the fact that Reins shield is a perma shield as long as it has 1 HP, is cancer.

>only 3 are truly villains (Reaper, Widow, and Sombra)
They aren't even villains. They have to play the part to prevent another Omnic Crisis since the UN is on the side of the toasters despite them still murdering people in Russia and Korea. The Sombra short where they tried to assassinate the stupid whore secretly working with the enemy made that pretty clear. Sombra's little image map also links all the bad shit happening to the Iris.

Yeah. I'm surprised you didn't know, you could do that when Overwatch was new but in last updates they won't allow the stack boxes trick anymore. Its a way to make sure you don't get the new content day1 and make money if you are desperate to get them.

No need to do something so drastic. Not knocking you, but bastion is horrible pick since his damage has been nerfed to the ground.
No, I just play junkrat and try to stay alive. Pharahs get a rocketboner for killing Junk above all since it's "safe". So instead of actually doing something productive like killing mercy, they're pharahs going to be chasing trashmouse turning the game into a 6v5. It's pretty fun and works well if you have a good healer who's onto it. Then after finishing the ground fight everyone aims up and kills pharah

>>375978796
Seems like you've just got an absolutely shit connection, games take <2minutes in any gametype to find a match unless you're 6 stacking which will take longer for obvious reasons.

There's like one or two points that she's okay for and even then she still needs to be paired with a Reinhardt .

blizzard is doing the blizzard style balances aka everyone get a turn to be imba until we decides it's time to kick you off.

pretty sure blizzard have a mindset as following

>>375976828
A good widow can find opertunities to snipe. But, lets be honest most Widows are dogshit. It also doesn't help that Roadhog does an easier and better job at punishing positioning than either sniper does too.

>Orisa is fairly broken in the right hands but that's to be expected.

She is shit even in the right hands. Her main purpose is to give the big dick shield a second to recharge while she just fires in the general direction of the enemy shields. The most she does is remove the 2 seconds your team needs to duck behind actual cover when the real shield is down.

people still play this? kek

>>375982525
Numbers are numbers, won't really know until you get a good feel for it. Even with a damage nerf, which she really did need desu, she's still a great support. A pull to disrupt enemies, a shield to block incoming fire, and an ult to boost all allies around you in a fairly generous area. Who else can bring this kind of game?

I'm saying that you won't be able to take out a widowmaker with the new patch, because she can easily walk off before you can kill her.

The story makes no sense because there literally IS no story.

What's Talon trying to do? Nobody knows.
What's Jack and Ana trying to do in the middle east? Nobody knows.
What's the re-instated Overwatch doing other than having Christmas parties? Again, nobody fucking knows.

Literally all of the content released in the last year has just been defining background for the characters, world building, and ultimately pointless vignettes. Yes it's cool to see Sombra jumping around and shooting shit, but there's absolutely zero narrative context.

As a lead writer, Michael Chu is running an absolutely unbelievable scam, tricking Blizzard in to paying him for little more than a one-paragraph background for 24 largely generic characters.
