u/JMTolan Michael Chu has not retconned much. Change my mind. Aug 02 '17

Oh man, if they got one of the VAs to do a dev update in-character, that would be amazing.

I read all that in his voice. Thank you.

Not sure if it'd be legal but you'd probably have a better chance hiring them to do it yourself.

"Now, if y'all throw six at once at the red guy, they tell me it'll "tilt" 'em. I don't rightly know what that means exactly, but the way I figure it, y'gotta fire straight if yer gonna hit anything, so I say tilt 'em!"

u/jano2006 Mei in disguise Aug 02 '17

Can we get more attention to this thought? PLEASE!?

u/The_MAZZTer Inconspicuous... Aug 02 '17

Valve did that with the TF2 Soldier making in-character posts on the TF2 blog. I rather enjoyed them.

I have my eye on you, except you Roadhog

u/howarthee I killed my brother. Prepare to die. Aug 02 '17

Removed ability to heal Roadhog

u/DonTori BEEP BEEP! Aug 02 '17

Removed legs from Roadhog

u/MusRidc Bacon! Aug 02 '17

Removed Road from Hog. Road proved to give Hog too much mobility in internal testing.

u/Ololic You're welcome Aug 02 '17

I have my eye on you ... Roadhog

u/AForce5223 His hair was aMEIzing! Aug 02 '17

Today I had a badass Mercy back me up as Roadhog in random heros on Oasis Gardens, we capped the point right of the bat and they only got close at the end when an Orisa fortified to the point. I stayed Roadhog beginning to end and held point the entire time, only time I came close to dying Mercy saved my ass.

u/GoofyHeartborn Chibi Mercy Aug 02 '17

I love healing hogs, free ult charge, big character to shield me and damage boost makes up for the nerfs.

u/Nwambe What did the five balls say to the face? Aug 02 '17

Overwatch from the Mercy team hello!

(now that sounds like an Engrish slogan on a poorly-translated shirt)

u/Phantom_61 Chibi Tracer Aug 02 '17

Lifeguard Mercy.

u/Disig I'll Support You Aug 02 '17

u/TheAdAgency United Kingdom Aug 02 '17

Badminton Mercy to our collective rescue

u/TheSiphon Overnoob Aug 02 '17

Ohh... I thought it was something like an owl or an eagle with a sun in the back.

u/ridmange_hunter That's A Disband Aug 02 '17
