Overwatch

I would have loved these colors as a skin◊ I think the black and pink looks better then the black and gold we got. >.<

I hope she gets a new mech at some point. I really don't like the chicken-walker design.

My bigest complaint is that the forcefeild does not cover her hands.

You would think they could raise her a couple centimeters higher into the empty space of the meka so that she is entirerly behind the forcefeild.... but noooo.

I'm quite weirded out by the design of D.Va's mech. Lore-wise, the MEKA were designed to fight an Omnic Kaiju. And yet, their sole weapons are a pair of machine guns, and a self-destruction system.

OK, so the self-destruction system might actually be enough to hurt it seriously (when hitting just the right spot, otherwise it'll be like a bee stinging a human in a non-weak spot) but those machine guns I just don't understand. The trope Five Rounds Rapid applies without question when the thing you're shooting at is both massive and entirely made of metal, and the fact that those guns have infinite ammo and don't need to reload still doesn't make it any better than Cherry Tapping- at best. Wouldn't, say, a missile system or something be more effective?

Given how the titan works in the Destroyer comic, If it's anything like that a group of MEKA would actually be useful, since you'd more or less be fighting the point defenses to let the artillery actually /hit/

Even if you think She's the devil... you got to admit she's kinda adorable◊

The problem with Mei is that you can't see her when she's at her most dangerous. That time is when she's in with larger teammates who are concealing her while also being human shields for her that she can shoot through.

The main thing I would change on her to dissipate the hate is tweak her left click slightly.

Right now it functions like Symmetra's beam attack, barely slowing an enemy at all and then ramping up quickly. I would change it so that the freezing process was slower, but harder to escape. The slowing effect wouldn't dissipate so quickly if you got out of the beam, but taking longer over all, it gives you more time to turn and shoot at her. Heroes like Lucio and Tracer wouldn't be able to escape her quickly (and really those are the ones Mei should be slowing the most). It would give everyone a chance to fight back, which is the reason right now people hate her; currently you're utterly helpless. It also means Mei has to then make a cost benefit analysis of risking herself to committing to freezing and the kill followup as opposed to merely slowing/debuffing them as soft control and harassment and then fleeing.

In short, more slowing, less freezing. More of a control/debuff role, less of an assassin.

nah, she needs the freeze. If she lost her stunlock her ability to kill ANYONE falls through the floor.

I do think there needs to be some way to break the freeze though, as is she is more anoying then even bastion by a large marigin.

Nothing short of sniper can stop her.

The problem a lot of people have with Mei is that no one likes being stunlocked. Mc Cree provides this frustration to a much smaller degree but I still have seen some people complain about him...

Mcree's is on a cooldown and only works right next to him.

I know but it still is a stun which a lot of people do not like. Loosing control of your character only to see impending doom isn't fun for most people.

Mei needs a rework. Her left click is the single most unfun ability in the game, and I'm including Mc Cree's flashbang and Bastion's everything.

Anyway, I'm hoping Sombra is an Omnic and not Liao or another OG Overwatch member. That schtick has been done twice, which is fine, but three times would be pushing it. And we need more Omnics.

Defense map? Kings row especially? Better take 3 attack heroes and no snipers or builders...

...I had no idea Alpharad could sing.

Huh, out of all characters I did not expect Reaper to get the first fan made song.....

Haha he deserves it. That shits fucking awesome.

I find Mei only seems worse because its a slower death in comparison so you have more time to feel helpless as she drives an icicle into your brain.

That's actually a friend of Alpharad who's doing the vocals. Though, he was in a band so I'm sure he could've sung it it he wanted to.

Yeah that really didn't sound like Alpha's voice

The person doing the vocals does sound very familiar now I think about it....

For anyone that needed a good laugh today:

Heh, the fuck?

Also that thumbnail, dammmnnnnn.

Eh, can't really stand Jim Sterling.
