Overwatch

Any bets for Halloween of Terror? There were some leaks around the Summer Games release but we only got names.

Re: Sombra skin

2/10, no baring of midriff. I'm a man of simple tastes, but I reserve the right to want some fanservice skins for every crusader every now and again.

Though I love how much it looks like an assassin's cloak from Assassin's Creed.

Earlier today I was wondering about why Joseph's Coat of Many Colors isn't usually included among religious video game costumes. It's both fairly iconic and fairly non-controversial, it's not even the main focus of Joseph's story. I think that it would look really cool as a costume piece in various games, including Overwatch, since it is just a big-ass rainbow longcoat. I think Genji would be a good character for this costume, since his story kind of parallels Joseph's.

10 lose streak on Busan.

Yep, this map sucks dick

I'm not sure you can blame the map for a losing streak, barring some specific element of it that caused consistent problems.

On the flip side, I have not yet played the map myself so maybe there is sick an element.

You are the only common thread in every one of your losses. Own up.

So, Torb is getting a remake.

Seems like his E skill functions similar to Storm Arrow, while ultimate is a bit like that of Wrecking Ball.

Being able to almost instantly set up lv 2 is great.

I'm a little sad to see armour packs go. I liked buffing people and occasionally coming to the rescue with ol' sick armour toss. Not that the ungrateful little sods ever seemed to know what armour packs I was scattering around were for, grumblegrumble bloody-just-walk-past-them-will-you grumble. Overload replaces that Support-ish element with a more damage-oriented power, which I feel is a bit of a loss, if maybe fun in its own right once I try it.

Using the rivet gun to get your turret to manually target people has been suggested before and I see the logic in it, though I feel like it's a little awkward in that sometimes you want to put pressure down on multiple people. Overall the turret changes are probably for the best; I'm sure there are Torb mains out there who will rub against Torb's new identity a bit, but upgrading turrets felt frequently more frustrating/dull than it ever felt rewarding.

New ult sounds interesting, at least. I've seen others suggest similar mechanics when trying to come up with new hero concepts; I've always been a bit wary out of concern they could be a bit annoying, but it probably works well enough for Torb's ult. I'll see what I think of it when I try it out.

I wish Overload still upgraded his turret, even if it isn't as drastic of an upgrade as his old Ult.

Apparently, going by the dev update, we're not getting any new mode for Halloween.

-groan-

I don't mind that, so long as they are more bosses and more characters to Junkenstein revenge

But i would love a new story for Halloween...

Apparently Junkenstein's Monster is getting a bride. I wonder who's the lucky lady

Moira seems like the obvious guess.

I could see Moira with a Bride-esque◊ look. A dark day for Roadhog and Mercy's obviously-romantic relationship.

Though you never know. Could be anyone. Zarya? Soldier? Junkrat in a wig?

Or Brigitte.

Moira would make a great Frankenstein's Bride, yes.

Highlighting the Fat and Skinny

Also, she is probably the new Junkenstein boss

It seems that the Bride of Frankenstein will be Sombra

...What? I'm disappointed.

Torb's new ultimate seems really cool, though I did have an idea for a defense character that used burn damage and had an AOE ultimate with burn. I'm not saying Blizzard plucked the idea from my head but...they have the money for such tech.

I actually haven't been played much lately. I'm glad they're spending most of the their time on Hero changes; I hope they don't do these knee-jerk changes for the sake of OWL/Comp. They changed two characters I liked so drastically (Mercy and Symmetra) and I've spent so long waiting for support changes (my preferred category) that I just usually poke in to get the skins I want.

Has anyone else been getting lots of dupes? I opened five boxes today and each had at least one. One had two.

Considering I have every white and blue drop, yes, I get dupes in every box.

I have every white, every blue, and close to every non-event purple too. I get a ton of dupes.

Jjonak is spending more time practicing with Ana and now he's about to steal the title of the best Ana player in the world from Ryujehong (or Gale Adelade, depending on who you ask) and become both the best Ana AND Zenyatta player in the world. XD
