Blizney World IT'S HAPPENING
---

I'm not big into Moira's design but I'm very into how she seems to play. Hopefully this is the spark to get me back in, at least casually.
---

She looks good for 48 years old. As for her abilities, the effects honestly look kind of ugly. And Fade just looks like Tracer's teleport. But more supports is always good.
---

she looks like a warcraft character

even with her graphics

I don't like the design
---

Design is pretty awful and doesn't seem like it gels with the rest of the characters. I feel like they pulled her out of Kingdom Hearts
---

It's that she's supposed to be a scientist but she dresses like a sorceress, and Overwatch is supposed to be about technology.
---

Oh boy, another healer no one will pick!
---

Abilities seem kind of Zenyatta like. Design is kinda ugly, but oh well. I think the biggest worry on the minds of players is Moira/Mercy on the same team since she's supposedly on par with or better than Mercy at healing

Looks like Kul Tiras is getting into WoW only twelve years after people wanted it to.
---

New world looks neat even if it feels like advertising. I wonder when we'll get all this on console

The new map looks okay, but I think it makes very little sense lore wise tbh, like it doesn't fit.
---

I haven't actually looked at anything yet since I'm at work, but why doesn't it fit? Is it because it has literal blizzard games?

Blizzard is well established as existing in the Overwatch world, with the movie posters in the Hollywood attack spawn, the arcade games in the Hanamura attack spawn, and Dva being canonically a stacraft pro player.

Sure it does. Blizzard exists in this universe, is so popular that it built a theme park, and hasn't made a new property in the last fifty years.

Oh, there's a new short about Reinhardt.

Holy shit, give me the ability to dual-wield hammers in the actual game please.
---

At least Widowmaker's skin looks okay.
---

Wow did they actually make skins for Orissa and Doomfist? Holy shit. Too bad there's another goddamn Torb skin and I actually like Torb

Alright, fair enough to those points I guess.

Too bad there will be nothing better than Pirate Torbjorn.

Shit I didn't realize Zarya and Mei are there too and they also just got a legendary recently. Mei's skin should've been the pajamas too dammit. At least we're getting Young Reinhardt and they didn't forget to give skins to Orissa and Doomfist. A shame we couldn't see skins for characters who are in desperate need of good event legendaries though....

Fucking finally they add content to the default lootbox. Was getting so tired of all new cosmetics just being seasonal box exclusives.
---

Haha, that Mercy Ghost skin.

Twist the knife, Bliz.

Edit: Oh that's Widow, I'm dumb.

Still funny.

? Mercy isn't in the skin image. Are there more being shown that weren't covered in the link posted?

Skins are coming early next year. Makes sense and we are close to the year being over, but damn :(

I saw TONS of complaints about D.Va not getting a Starcraft skin though. People said it would've been perfect for this sort of thing.

nova has a widowmaker skin

widowmaker has a nova skin

who is really who anymore

This is the only Blizzard game I've ever played so all those references don't do anything for me. I think Torb is from WoW since he mentioned The Horde, but that's about it

I'm surprised it was him with the "For the Horde" voiceline. Does Torb secretly play Horde while cosplaying as an Alliance character?
