Overwatch

Pharah was specifically not being nerfed with her last update, her direct hit damage increased while her splash damage decreased to encourage her to go for kill shots instead of Ao E.

A good change I would say, it makes her less effective in low brackets where people have trouble shooting her while helping her in high brackets where ppl know exactly how to counter her. This is how balancing always should be.

Full wave of Lego Overwatch sets.

Couple of my friends in the LEGO community are complaining about Reinhardt's lack of knees.

Jeff time

World Cup Viewing, some balance changes announced and Blizzcon will not have a map announcement

Lego sets look pretty good overall, though I feel like they should've made Tokki and Reinhardt's suit smaller, especially since they included minifigs of D.Va and Reinhardt with them. I'm fine with Reinhardt not having knees since minifigs don't have knees anyway. The D'Va set actually kind of messes up Tokki's legs, but it can be hard to get too accurate at that scale. MOCs will fix it.

Bastion looks great, I was worried he wouldn't be able to transform since the website didn't talk about it, but the box assuages my fears. I wonder if they'll make a minifig-scale Bastion.

Tracer having a car is a bit weird, but I guess LEGO had to have something. The minifigs are really solid. Kind of wish Reaper on the Gibralter set was someone else, though, like maybe Sombra. LEGO knows exactly what they're doing with Mercy healing Pharah on the back of the Gibralter box.

Future sets: Wrecking Ball would be really good. Overwatch in general would really benefit from Ultrabuild-style sets. Can't wait for the inevitable "Hanzo and Genji Dragons" set, where you build Hanzo and Genji's dragons and they're huge and ridiculous.

So the big lead in regards to future reveal seems to be that the bomb payload in Route 66 has been emptied out. So few things can be seen from this like possible McCree short, Hero from the Deadlock Gang or something else. Also to note that the key art for Blizzcon has {=Mc Cree=].

Also to note that apparently there are voice lines related to destroying an objective.

I'm feeling confident about a Mc Cree short.

There's lines added with the Halloween even where someone, I think Pharah, asks Mc Cree "why did you come back here?", ostensibly referring to Route 66. He answers something to the effect of "Same reason anyone ever goes back; unfinished business."

Yeah, i'll bet money we are getting something about Mccree. When is Blizzcon?

As for Hero 29, i will go on a wild bet and say Gerard

Liao please

So... Micheal Chu got married. Now I see why he tease Genji/Mercy.

Oh. Now i know who is mercy based on.

@Pushover Media Critic I think it's the payload on Gibraltar.

She even looks like her too. Best of luck too him

Man, yeah, she does resemble Mercy somewhat. XD

Any bets for tomorrow? Cinematic focus? Hero 29?

McCree cinematic that introduces the new hero: Ashe.

Another white lady.

Oh, a semi-auto mid range damage hero? Sounds cool to me.

Although when it comes to character concept, i would have preferred to see Echo but she is definitely hero 30.

So is it the Final Fantasy XII Ashe, or the League of Legends Ashe? All these Ashes are starting to get confusing.

The white haired one of course

It also looks like she’s coming in with her Omnic partner Bob.

Paladins has an Ashe as well.

But she has red hair.

This Ashe has white hair and red eyes, so she's obviously a fuck-mothering vampire.
