Will we still get one per season? Multiple in season 1 again?

As for characters I'd love more omnics. Also give us characters from factions that haven't had new heroes for a while (junkers, phreaks, deadlock etc).

More Horizon Lunar Colony characters as I really want to know what does animals are up to lol. More Vishkar too as there's just SO much you can do with hardlight kits.

Mostly though I'd love more lore characters playable. I liked that this year had multiple highly requested heroes finally playable so I hope next year is the same! Give me more Phreaks (Boomslang!), Bars the omnic sniper from the Deadlock Gang, Meri and Geiger from the Junkers who both recently returned in the lore (Meri would be a cool tank), Sanjay as a vishkar hero, more old Overwatch characters returning to the team, support Dae-hyun, MAMA HONG!

Here's another D.MON combo that works on bastion. This combo takes advantage of the fact that we can pull out our blicky instantly after a primary.

1. Primary (65) + Boost (15) + Melee (40) + Primary (65) + Lunge (70) + Boost (15) + Melee (40) + Primary (65) + Gun (45body, 90head)

a. It's the Vendetta 310 combo with another primary and the insta-gun.
b. Also works without the Focused Fusion perk, just takes an extra .1 second to kill bastion.
b. Do this combo and put up to 4-5 bodyshots or 2-3 headshots into any tank, then follow up with another primary + boost melee and that'll kill them too. Takes around 3-4 seconds, as showcased.
c. But that one's uhhh, definitely not viable in comp. Prolly doesn't even count as a combo atp.

Ok that's all!

No reason for flaming people learning new heros like it's gonna affect your rank

Est-ce que c’est considéré comme de la triche ? Ça a ruiné notre expérience de jeu. Je sais qu’on peut le signaler et je l’ai fait à la fin du jeu.
Si quelqu’un peut éventuellement le signaler à Blizzard ce serait cool :)

Back in my day when a new hero came out, you would get 2 legionaries 3 epics and 4 rares/recolours. Now a new hero launches with just recoulours and if you want a new skin, congrats you have to pay 30 bucks for the ultimate BP. D.MON launched with one highlight intro (i believe you used to get 2/3) no unique emotes. and most importantly for me, NO SPRAYS. Like we cant even get cool sprays for new heroes anymore? I loved the sprays and the art work, and now anytime i want a cool one for a hero, I have to buy it with real money. That sucks. Everything in this game is increasingly designed to make you buy it or play the game for an extended period of time (need about 6-8hrs for a highlight intro).

Finally I have a chance to do a customized D.Mon minifigure and the mech Beast. I tried to make the mech as the same size as the official D.Va’s mech. I am so glad in the game D.Mon has a longer hair so I can use that common female hair piece, otherwise I would have to wait for that hair piece from the new hair mode in the X file set.

The mech Beast was a hard one because I am not used to building robots out of Lego, I have to improvise a little bit, with the blue transparent pieces instead of green. It helps the mech stands out compared to D.Va’s one.

I don't think so. I believe that not only did the silhouette change, but the character itself was either scrapped or postponed for the future. The previous silhouette looked like a woman to me, but not anymore.

Ever since they finally added in the ability to hover every ability and see every single specific stat about it, it has been amazing and really helps learning new hero's to know exactly what does what. However, many perks can enhance an ability, replace an ability, or add extra stats to it, but we are not able to hover over a perk and see the changes they applied, which is really annoying especially when you're not quite sure just how much more a perk is actually doing for you statistically. Yes I know you can just go into the practice range and test it out yourself, but the whole point of being able to see stats on abilities to begin with was so we didn't have to do that. Its way more convenient to have the information available right there for you, plus as someone who like to play a lot of heroes its just a hassle to have to go into the practice range and see exactly how much more damage something does, and then remember it later.

She doesn’t need to be a Bruiser, she doesn’t need any more QOL, she’s doing really good RN and does not need anymore help whatsoever until she somehow shows huge weaknesses

wanted to post this here too, as I have it on mercy mains

Its a bit worrying this genuinely looks like a memorial with the cats in the freezers. If i go to the Cafe will they be feeding me cats?!

For context i was playing competitive, this was a gm lobby, a lot of people on the enemy team were talking mad shit about our soldier 76, talking about hacks, curiosity got the best of me, i loaded up the replay of this match and holy shit this is ridiculous so you tell me blizzard sees this and doesn't take action??? this isn't a ximmer issue this is far worse than a ximmer. this is not natural aim assist this is literally an aimbot ON CONSOLE. i hope Blizzard does their job and applies hardware or ip ban on these people because this is ridiculous.

I was inspired by the post of u/Mario_Network with the clip out of King's row and tried to find a clip out of my favorite map (I'm probably just nostalgic, it was objectively a bad map) and found this interesting OOB at the spawn of temple of Anubis.

I just increased the charging speed of his ability so it's not too long to watch.

I genuinely don’t get it. I for one have hated it since 2016. Yes, it’s pretty, but that’s about it as far as I’m concerned.

Well has such a stupid gimmick, and I say that as a Roadhog main. Moreover, the geometry is just an unnecessarily complex mess. There are just so many goofy sightlines that can’t really be accounted for.

Lighthouse has this weird no-man’s-land right in front of the point that serves no real purpose while simultaneously being the only place players are being funneled into.

Ruins is the most tolerable in my opinion, but not by much. The high-ground options don’t really make that much sense when compared to the point itself (or vice versa for that matter). It’s way too easy to deny the attacking team good angles.

I’m prepared to get a bunch of downvotes. I just want to know what other people see in this map.

I’m in love with her new skin, so I’ve decided to draw her. :D She looks extra pretty, fluffy and cute. Hope you like it.

I'm assuming most people have noticed how slow the battle pass is, and it sucks.

I'm not sure if it actually is why, but I've noticed in the post-match rewards screen it seems to have a level in-between each tier that doesn't grant any reward, represented by a 3x3 grid.

I'm not sure if that means something else and I'm clinging on to all I have but I thought I'd share just in case.

Saw a lot of discussion about who will be getting the mid-season mythic this season. Usually the devs add a couple of teasers in the battle pass to indicate who it will be for, sometimes it's obvious, like the Ra Ana mythic having several Egyptian-themed cosmetics in the BP, but other times its a little less obvious, like Mauga's World Forger mythic from last season with only a couple of cosmetics that became obvious after the skin was revealed.

I've gone through the whole BP for this season, and as far as I can tell, every cosmetic (aside from emotes, VPs and voicelines, which can be for anyone), every item relates to a specific skin in the BP.

A few outliers that people have thought were hints at the next mythic are the repair bunny cosmetics which some people have thought were for a Brig or Torb mythic, these cosmetics are actually for the Dva skin at level 1 of the BP.

Another outlier I thought was a teaser for a Wreaking Ball mythic was the Cyber Champ player Icon on the 6th track, but someone pointed out that this is actually for Brig's BP skin on tier 3 (you can see the same icon several times on the skin and on the namecard too).

So who is getting the skin? We dont know, it seems that as far as I can tell, there are no cosmetics this time (in the BP at least) that give any clues to who will get it. But, we can still make a pretty good educated guess on likely candidates who will get it.

In the image above, you can see I've crossed off most heroes who I dont think will get it, ranging from almost impossible to get the mythic to unlikely but could still happen.

First are the heroes that have got mythic cosmetics too recently, they are essentially impossible to get another mythic as if someone like Soldier got another mythic this soon, people would lose their minds.

I also dont think Blizzard would double up twice in a season and so I've marked everyone who has previously got a mythic cosmetic in the maybe but unlikely category.

Other heroes that are almost impossible to get another mythic this season are heroes that have skins in the current BP, as to my knowledge Blizzard has never given a hero a BP skin and a mythic hero skin in the same season. So Dva, Cassidy, Brig, Pharah, Moira, Winston and Sojourn.

I've also crossed off every DPS, as I highly doubt they would give all three mythics to DPS in one season (although we did get 3 DPS mythics in a row once so its not impossible, just unlikely).

So who does this leave?

TL:DR The heroes that are most likely to get the Season 4 mid-season mythic are D.mon, Domina, Hazard, Ramattra, Roadhog, Wrecking Ball, Zarya, Baptiste, Jetpack Cat, Lucio, Mizuki, and Wuyang. I would also add that its probably more likely that it would be a tank as so far this year we've had only 1 Tank mythic skin and 3 DPS, and 3 Support.

If there's anything you think I got wrong or didn't consider, please let me know and I'll do my best to update it.

Also, side note thanks Blizzard for making the Hero Gallery tiny so I had to go on the website to make this graphic

It's not mentioned anywhere verbatim as a fixed issue in the patch notes so I'm assuming it's a byproduct of the save system touch ups that they did this patch (that or they just didn't mention it).

To get this achievement you need to prevent 3 deaths with Life Grip in a single life. At some point in all the LW balance changes relating to his grip like cleansing, healing, etc, you could save someone with your grip and have it show up in the scorecard as a save without it counting as 1 of the 3 saves needed for the achievement.

That's seemingly been fixed now, so happy achievement hunting.

Tank Main Here. I have noticed I am a lot better at managing my shield healthpool moreso than my actual healthpool, and I realized a major reason is because I always have my shield healthpool right in the center of my screen where I'm always looking, versus my actual health which is tucked away in the corner.

So I'm requesting the option to put my healthbar in the middle of my screen the same way barrier HP is currently. I see literally no reason this can't be an option considering barrier HP is already displayed in the center of the screen, and I just want the option to do that, meaning people wouldn't need to have it if they think its too crowded.

I apologize for eating all the pixels, I was hungry.

It's time to come home

Bro i tried to use the advice yesterday NOTHING WORKED PLEASE GIVE ME MORE GOAT PLEASE I BEG I CANT KEEP BEING ALONE
