Overwatch

Oh, sounds interesting. Side effects would be retaining the evil sexy french accent.

Btw, PTR closes on monday. Be prepared. (No illidans in sight)

I think we can get an Underground Lucio legendary, portraying him at the day he incited the rebellion or beforehand, before Vishkar ever came and he's yet the international DJ. May make him look like a hobo, but it's Lucio. No one's gonna protest... anybody protesting shall be straightened up to believe he can do no wrong.

Ooh, more lore content idea for Loot Box, this time mix with culture:

• Ana wearing a white piece of shroud, titled "Funeral" (a common burial ritual for Muslims)
• Symmetra with a Victory Pose or Highlight Intro in which she is covered in colored water with a disgusted expression, titled "Holi" (a spring festival in India)
• Young Genji and Hanzo wearing a kimono and yukata, respectively, with the left side cross over the right, titled "Death In the Family". Hanzo got a recolored with some blood stain on it, titled "Dragonslayer" (again, funeral ritual in Japan)
• Mercy got the coat she wore in the Christmas comic, titled "Warzone"
• Young-ish Zarya without her scar wearing a Sarafan with the number 512 freshly tattoo into her bicep, titled "Celebration".
• Tracer with the outfit she wore in her Origin trailer (a simple T-shirt without the Accelerator). Her Blink and Recall animation will have Tracer's molecule "burst out" from the edge of the animation (it doesn't affect her hitbox), titled "Lost In Time".

Too dark?

Speaking of Lucio and Heroes of Storm, this remix of Lucio's speedboost music is freaking awesome.

That WOW event prevents me to get on HOTS. I'm sure there'll be a lot of noobs going into the game that might ruin QM. The place I usually play.

Intriguing theory regarding the Numbani hero

Isn't there a patch coming up this week, also...?

Think he might be onto something.

Well i for one welcome our Bastion overlords.

The next season shall be labelled "The Omnic Crisis".

Apparently the PTR just preloaded a 1,4 GB patch despite the fact that it was meant to go offline today. The plot thickens.

Yeah. Just got down backloading the data myself.

Will probably crop up tomorrow, whatever it is. Doomfist? Maybe. Skins? Also possible.

It's a mystery.

*Flashbacks to Sombra*

I'm not expecting anything.

Hype is never a good thing

If it really is Doomfist, people are going to be butthurt if Terry Crews is not the voice. Not Blizzard's fault since they never confirmed his involvement.

We were told that it wouldn't be who we think it was. And it being not the Terry Crews-Doomfist would be correct, From a Certain Point of View

Efi checks her list.

Lucio confirmed next hero.

It's pretty obvious that Lucio-Oh's are a cereal brand, but can you imagine a 12 foot tall phoenix bird-thing dropping a beat?

Lucio has his own cereal. What flavor is it?

Judging from the list, an Efi-built robot is definitely looking very likely.

The fact that she needs a specialized arm (just one) for her project also lends a lot of credit to the idea of that this robot is going to wield the Doomfist.

The lack of any sort of computer core (aside from the vocal processor) might point to the robot being remote operated by Efi instead of autonomous.

I get the feeling this hero isn't going to be a war machine. Efi wants to protect people, so I expect this hero to be built around non-lethal and defensive abilities. It will also probably be cute based on her sketch.

The Tobelstein Reactor is a bit of fannon based on Zarya's ult. This lets us know it will have some kind of gravity manipulation ability, perhaps as a mobility power or crowd control ability.

It's the flavor of freedom.

Biggest mystery of the OW lore:

Why Lucio-ohs instead of Luci-ohs?

Lucio-ohs is such a wishy-washy mid-point. Either go with Luci-ohs for fluidity, or Lucio-oh-ohs to match his voiceline.

Luci-Oh-Yeahs!

Lucio-OH! OH! TIME TO ACCELERATE

SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED..........BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And here I thought the Luci-Oh was meant to put in Lu-Ci-Oh...

I'm gonna bet if Overwatch gets a Hearthstone spinoff, that'd be the title.
