Poll of the Day > New Overwatch story event! Overwatch Retribution

(+) Yeah! (+)

idk. nerf stunlocks and mccree becomes completely useless it feels like. he doesn't have much (any?) utility outside that as it is. i don't mind the idea but fix the cowboy first pls.
---

Reinhardt's charge is probably the worst ability in the game right now since they nerfed the hitbox. It's basically impossible to land.
---

Lot of unique skin voicelines added/unlocked this patch.

I mean theres other counters, bastion destroys her also.

I mean shes supposed to be as hard as a tank to kill though since shes tank/support hybrid.

Apparently I was just on AKM's stream. I was Pharah, he was Mercy. He was a fucking terrible Mercy lol.

Brigitte is actually pretty bad as a solo healer. She works better in conjunction with another healer, preferably one who can also dish out damage.
---

Yeah I would never solo heal on Brigitte. That's throwing.

Thats why I think she should have been tank category, shes primarily a tank with support abilities, I mean tanks basically support anyway by subverting damage for their allies. Jeff should have said she was mostly tank to keep people from complaining about how shes too hard to kill.

She sucks as a tank, too, though. She makes more sense in Support than Symmetra, at least.

It doesn't even make sense to kill Sombra. Hype her up for months then just kill her a year later? I doubt it. If any character were to "die" it would probably be one of the original members of Overwatch, so Soldier, Reinhardt or something like that makes way more sense than Sombra. And I doubt they're really planning anything like that.

But, really, the lore and "story" of Overwatch is so disjointed and messy in general, that killing people off is the worst thing they could do. I seriously think they missed out on a big opportunity to tell the story outside the game when they cancelled the graphic novel. Also everyone wanted them to make a show. I would so watch an Overwatch cartoon. It feels like the time to make that work is long past though, which is a shame.
---

Highly doubt they'd ever kill off a character while this game is still going on, especially a relatively new and popular one. Maybe if they eventually make an Overwatch 2, they could say that one or more characters died in between the events of the first and second game.
---

I didn't watch that specific video. But I saw that Jeff said if they did kill off a character, they wouldn't be removed from the playable roster.
---

probably will kill an old character, one with grey hair.

Nobody's going to die. The story is going to pile on top of itself like a gross dessert until it collapses in on itself.
---

if anyone dies, it's not gonna be sombra. she has way too much potential, blizzard would be dumb as hell.

..then again it didn't stop them 500 times in WoW so whatever.
---

Every character will die except the OG Overwatch five and Tracer.

Every character will die except Tracer.

and maybe winston.
---

If Tracer hadn't been confirmed as gay I might agree but if she doesn't need monkey dick then monkey dick doesn't need to live.
---

naw man winston is like tracer's puppy at this point. if he does die it won't be until the very, very end.

plot twist: tracer's girlfriend will join the cast to replace someone but then also immediately die.
---

What if Tracer's girlfriend murders a member of the cast and leaves Tracer for Widowmaker.
---

tracer's girlfriend is widowmaker.
---

Based on images I've seen, that's accurate.
---

Sweet fuck my games have been terrible. I don't know if people are throwing intentionally or if they just have generally no idea what they're doing. I should NOT have 5 golds on Brigitte ever.

New map up on PTR! Rialto, a payload map!

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/overwatch-ptr-patch-notes-april-18-2018/72390

Also Hanzo changes!

New Escort Map: Rialto

Rialto was home to Talon agent Antonio Bartalottis sprawling estate and the backdrop to the infamous Venice Incident, a turning point for Overwatch and Talon. The Italian government has taken great steps to preserve Venice, and the results are striking. Tourists visiting this picturesque town can sample the regional cuisine, enjoy a relaxing gondola ride, visit Galleria Darte Omnica, or simply take in the sights with a stroll along the canal.

And

Hanzo

Storm Bow

Projectile speed increased from 85 to 100

Sonic Arrow

Cooldown decreased from 20 seconds to 12 seconds

Duration decreased from 10 seconds to 6 seconds

Radius decreased from 10 meters to 7 meters

New Abilities

Lunge

Press jump while in the air to leap horizontally

Storm Arrows

Replaces his existing Scatter Arrow ability

Hanzo can now rapidly fire up to 6 arrows that deal reduced damage but are always fired at full power

Developer Comments: The goal of these Hanzo changes is to allow him to have new options and maintain his high damage output, while removing the frustration of fighting against the old Scatter Arrow. Hanzo is now much more mobile with his new Lunge ability, and with the combination of the bow projectile speed increase and the new Storm Arrows ability he can now deal his high damage more consistently than ever before.

---

Wow new Hanzo is crazy. This is gonna take some getting used to.
---

yes yes yes yes yes yes

finally!!!

now torb and sym changes pls

hanzo 76
---

hanzo is gonna be broken lmao

at least scatter arrow is gone.
---

I like the new map. It feels a bit small, but idk, it works well.
---

need

Wow, lots of changes to Horizon!

It might be only kind of completely shitty now. >_>

Seriously fuck that map.

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/horizon-has-been-reworked-on-the-ptr-footage-of-rework/72565/25?u=monkeyman-1690

Well that wasnt supposed to happen but there you go. We have some changes that we are still working on and testing for the map so what you are seeing here may not be final. Also as an FYI it wont be released with the next patch and no eta for when it will be released as it is still a rework in progress.

lololololol

New Lucio wallride mechanics.



I might actually play Lucio again lol.
---

Mister Wheels confirmed?
---

As a Lucio 2.0 main wannabe, I am pumped for the new lucio, the going around corners and no ammo consumption on lucio is going to be a godsend.

I already like Lucio, but if that's legit he may be bumped up to my new favorite support.
---

Somebody called me something homophobic for killing them with Junkrat. >_> Then they did it next game when I played Hanzo, so I was all "fuck this guy" and carried his sorry ass victory. Then I reported him cus that shit aint cool.

And I got play of the game. =D

IDK, that guy was pushing everyone's buttons. He had a high-level account too, so he should know better.
---

Hopefully you reported him both matches and not just the second one.
---

Sorry I'm terrible Bligh

It's okay we're all terrible

It's hard against a super defensive team like that because randoms are terrible at diving.
