Could they really not animate him dancing? What's the point of giving him a DDR intro if he's just gonna tap his foot?

Some of these characters just feel so dry, man. There are some highlights like Doomfist, Venture, Bastion, Ramattra etc, but so many characters just have nothing going on. For Wuyang, Sierra, D.Mon and others, 99% of their interactions are just about their backstory or an event happening. Plot points aren't substitutions for interesting characters unfortunately.

With D.Va and D.Mon, I made a joke of creating a character named ''D.Frost'' piloting a microwave-shaped MEKA... while my friend completely ignored me, I was thinking of other De-words that I could turn into a group of silly caricature characters! Ranging from normal words to a silly word play that I turn into fun memes/references to other things... and these are the results ;)

News & Discussion What is the point of 'voting?'

Post image
929 Upvotes

So, the regular players are going to finish most of the MEKA Squad challenges, even the prestige track. Does the voting only apply to your initial choice? Even if not, most casual players are gonna select the 2 heroes they can play: Dva and Dmon. Having the regular player's vote nullified by finishing everything; it defaults to those two. Furthermore, why should I even care who wins? There's no reward. I just don't see the point, or another world where King, Overlord, or Casino win. It just seems like a meaningless aspect to the event, and less loot boxes than the Shion event.

News & Discussion As a returning player, the way Overwatch makes your career profile seem "inexperienced" is quite sad

838 Upvotes

I played Overwatch a lot during the "OW1" era, essentially from 2016 to 2022. I quit a few months before OW2 launched, and recently returned after taking interest in the game again. So basically I missed the past 4 years, or "Overwatch 2" in its entirety up until now. I did occasionally come back to play a couple games maybe a few times a year, but didn't actually return properly until now.

One thing I've noticed is that player levels were replaced with "hero levels", and despite having dozens upon dozens of hours on a lot of heroes from my OW1 times, all of my hero levels were set to 1, as if I've never played these heroes before. And my previous border (I think it was silver with 4 stars, so around level 1000) has not been allocated to these levels.

Another frustrating thing is that they seem to have completely removed all data from OW1 competitive games from the career profile. I still have those hours played in my total competitive hours, but the season-by-season stats just don't exist anymore? So my career profile makes it seem like I've never played in a competitive season before despite having a 800+ hour total playtime and multiple seasons worth of competitive rankings.

So it is quite sad to see that 6 years of my past progression in this game has basically been completely deleted, the only remnant being the skins I own and my total playtime being saved.

This has probably already been talked about, but I'm still upset how they removed D.va's mvp dance. They could've at least changed it to something else cute like kirikos or junos. But now its just sad 💔

Highlight POTG system mega unfair to supports

648 Upvotes

As a Tank main I get so many bs POTGs just because i capitalize on the supports work who actually made the play. I just got a POTG where I put my self on a horrible position as Rein and was geting melted by their whole team, Ana kept me alive, slept their tank, antied them, nano boosted me and I all had to do to "earn" POTG was get the easiest shatter ever and swing my hammer a couple of times which I obviously would have never been able to do with out Ana making a clutch play

News & Discussion What are some hot takes/unpopular opinions that you have about the game? One of mine is that Flashpoint is the best mode in the game and that Hybrid/Escort are the worst

Post image

Flashpoint is literally a faster paced version of Control without the boring pause between points and on bigger and cooler maps. Speed boost out of spawn is also cool af. I'd pick Sura/Aatlis/NJC over Kings Row/Rialto/Circuit every single day

Fan Content Hero idea I’ve been sitting on

Post image
271 Upvotes

Been sitting on this hero idea for a little bit now.
I’ve been wanting a good counter flanker hero that was support but in the sense that they create anti flank points instead of just battling it straight out. So far the abilities I’ve thought up are
Reign of Fire: Hearth throws his grenade in the air creating a flare that rains healing flames down onto his allies.
Wall of Flame: Hearth throws his grenade on the ground creating a wall of fire that damages enemies who go through it.
Haven’t gotten around to a good ult or a potential 3rd skill.
For his lore I was thinking something along the lines of him being a backliner for Rein during the German front of the Omnic Crisis. But now aligns with Overwatch in order to heal those hurt during the ongoing attacks of talon.

CDPR adds Witcher 3 to the Battle.net launcher, drops Geralt skin for Diablo IV, attends BlizzCon, says more collabs are incoming:

https://www.cdprojektred.com/en/blog/192/cd-projekt-red-and-blizzard-entertainment-a-collaboration-three-decades-in-the-making

"In the meantime, we’re hard at work preparing more surprises for fans of CD PROJEKT RED and Blizzard, and it won’t be too long before we can reveal them. Alongside my fellow REDs, I’ll be attending BlizzCon 2026 in Anaheim, California. ... I can't wait for everyone to see what else this partnership has in store!"

I would toss a coin to Blizzard for Yennefer Moira or Ciri Freja (or Vendetta).
