Overwatch

Oh boi I am going to try my damdest to get the Retribution skins since I have a second chance to get them now.

Still hoping they give Reyes his voicelines. They seem to have all of them recorded.

Just gonna say that I find the new Tracer skin ugly as fuck.

And the soldier skin. Don't care if it's Epic or Legendary, that looks uninspired as hell.

I saw an edit of the Tracer skin where her hair was electric blue instead of blonde. Looked much better that way.

I do have to say Lúcio and Genji were the two characters that made me start questioning how straight I really am. But yes, the cast is full of pretty people

I don't feel strongly about either of the two skins, I'm not gonna be aiming to get them, but I won't complain if I do either, especially since they're just Epics.

Well, the "Omnileaks" fan animation does make clear Genji has a killer butt

Genji: My butt... is a killer? (To Mercy) What did you do?!

I'm indifferent.

With the statements said before, we will have to create a Sliding Scale Of Gay And Too Gay and see where tracer places there

New anniversary announcement this Saturday. Aaron Keller and Michael Chu will be there.

Here hoping that Chu's presence indicates that maybe, just maybe, we are getting a cinematic.

She made it.....better.

Mercy doesn't discriminate, at least when it comes to body parts.

Of the skins revealed so far:

• Venom: Not sure about the colour scheme but I like the cartoony 80's tough guy motif. I'd compare it to Zarya's Totally 80's skin. The GI Joe to her Rocky.
• Lightening: Call me controversial, but I love it. I think I'll be sticking with Graffiti (since I think it looks cooler), but I can't for the life of me understand how anyone could dislike that hairstyle^note Beyond speculation that may upset the cisgender heterosexuals in the audience.

I'm interested to see if either of them have any lore attached.

Venom: Teal is just a gaudy color, the whole skin looks like a discount tracksuit.

Lightning: Meh if I wanted a punky tracer skin I would use the ones she already has instead. I also dislike half shaven hairstyles in general, I hope this fad ends soon.

It's been a "fad" for LGBTQ people for at least a decade.

That hairstyle has been around for far longer. I know old school goths used it a lot. Both men and women.

Yeah, I’ve been keeping my hair like that for the past few years, and I like it enough that I doubt I’ll grow it out for several more. For every person I meet who dislikes it, there’s another who thinks it looks great. And even if nobody liked it, I’d probably keep it just because I do.

So I tend to like it when characters get skins with similar hair.

And thats okay.

Sorry calling it a "fad" was insensitive.

Just because I am indifferent towards my hairstyle I shouldn't have assumed the same from others, that was wrong.

I personally don't like the hairstyle on that skin either but thats just because I don't think it works with Tracer's face. Sombra, Zarya, and Brigitte could pull off that look more.

I mean the Junker Queen has a mohawk but I would still say she's really attractive.

The reactions its getting is really bad though.

It's dumb that this is getting all of the hate when there are far more stupid skin design choices.

Like Hanzo's butt dragon.

Dragon Shit stain will never stop being hilarious.

The consequence of having a player-base filled with a bunch of dumbass dude-bros.

They'll react to any sign of even the vaguest reminders of homosexuality with disdain & disgust like a child given broccoli.

The hairstyle itself isn't homosexual. I have seen used by both straight women and LGBT women.

They are throwing fits over nothing. It's just a skin. If you don't like it then fine but people take not liking shit way too far these days with having to drag political shit in the mix and make themselves look like an absolute fool

Meh

Meh

Meh

This skin is just an epic

Well the Junkrat skin is likely real and would definetly be a legendary

I wonder how many new skins, especially Legendary ones, we'll be getting. Given the apparent return of every brawl and etc. I wouldn't mind if it was less than the original Anniversary, which put a lot of focus on having new cosmetics. I'm a bit surprised they went with hyping by revealing two relatively plain Epic skins, though of course I could easily be reading too much into that.

EDIT: Apparently, 50 cosmetics in all, 11 of which are skins. So less cosmetics, yes. The important thing, of course: hope everyone without one gets a dance emote. Gotta get me groove on.

EDIT 2: Apparently, 8 Legendary and 3 Epic skins. Anniversary 2017 had 11 Legendary skins and no Epic ones IIRC.

Picked up Overwatch again for the first time in a couple of months, got to try Brigitte for the first time.

I have to say, she's pretty fun. Might be my new main now.

I haven't gotten the hang of her myself, preferring Zenyatta or Lucio as supports (I also like Ana but I lack the precision to make the best use of her).

One thing I did note in fighting her, I'm not 100% sure but I think McCree's flashbang can work despite the shield.

It won't go through the shield, but you can angle it to the left or right of her, and it effects an area wide enough that, do it right and all things go well, you can still stun her. I think it's also got a slightly larger range than the bash, worth keeping in mind if you ever find yourself in a close-range Brigitte/McCree 1v1.
