What is D.Va's second skin?

 

[Orochinagis]

What is D.Va's second skin?

Goliath (Starcraft) Skin?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

What is D.Va's second skin?

Goliath, the master skin just adds a couple speakers to the mech.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

So is D.Va the last of the Overwatch Poochies for now?

I'm still waiting on my Rock n Roll Racing cars

 

[MisterAnderson]

Definitely going to have to buy a Goliath skin for her. So awesome.

 

[scoobs]

Yaaaaa I am buying her skin bundle 100%

 

[Rhaknar]

dat D.Va spotlight. Man they translate these OW heroes so well. Watching the video I was like "I wonder if you can boost into self destruct to launch it forward like OW....oh nvm there it is"

 

[Bulzeeb]

why is that Heroes of the Storm always design much better skins for the OW characters, I really dig the Zarya skins here and found super boring the ones in OW, same for the Master Lucio skin, that Goliath Skin for D.va and I dare to say that the HotS team had something to do with designing the Genji Oni skin.

 

[FinKL]

You might as well call Tyrande a brand new character with those changes

 

[HubbaBubba]

Nexus Challenge in NA starts on Tuesdays right?

 

[Rhaknar]

where are you seeing those changes guys?

team 1 has the bigger/better art team so I'm not surprised.

 

[Celegus]

Curious how much that welcome bundle will cost, might have to throw them some money for making 2.0 so amazing. D.va and Genji announcers will be awesome, and holy crap D.va Goliath?! How can they keep this much awesome stuff coming nonstop! D'va herself looks super fun as well, bunny hop is hilarious (and looks really useful)

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Hearthstone welcome bundle cost 5 bucks.

 

[Rhaknar]

D.Va will instantly be the best announcer

 

[Measley]

D.Va is getting purchased day 1. Love her kit and the fact that she's a warrior.

 

[Alur]

dat feel when Milly gives you dat cold shoulder

 

[Bread]

What's a must-try ranged assassin? I really like Tracer and Zul-Jin but I want to try someone new.

Valla

Falstad is pretty good with his nearly global presence

 

[Alur]

Try the mages. Li-Ming, KT, Jaina, Nazeebo. Don't try the one I didn't mention.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Try Chromie.

 

[Bread]

i'm new, what's chromie's deal.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

She's the pineapple on pizza of Hotsgaf.

 

[Syf]

Nonbelievers like to shit on her but she is a nice lady

 

[Rhaknar]

when can we expect this D.Va patch? like in 2 weeks when the whole nexus challenge ends?

You have been gone a while ain't ya? Generally when new heroes pop up on PTR they go live the next week. Only been maybe one or two exceptions.

Gotcha.

 

[Alur]

She's fucking toxic, cancer ridden shit.

[jaundicejuice]

Skimming over the changes to Tyrande on the PTR, it looks like they're not only re-embracing the old Assassin/Support hybrid role that she and Tassadar used to occupy back in the Alpha and Beta, it looks like they're amping it up to a whole other level. Really like the changes to Shadowstalk and so many of her talents and abilities.

She used to be one of my mains back in the Alpha/Beta and might very well be one again with this rework. Interested to see how it shakes out.

 

[Kioshen]

Should be able to after getting the hang of how his w controls, his combo is way easier than kerrigans which can be outplayed, it's instant, so it's more knowing when to hold onto it for more value and knowing when to use the abilities separately.

The trickiness of him is w/ his w plays but in the beginning all you need to know is how to combo w/ w and mobility with alt-w, afterwards you can try crazier stuff like w'ing you and the melee on top of you backwards

Tried him in a match and it wasn't too bad. I'll need to learn how to punish certain situation but pushing people into aoe or other is fun.

 

[Milly79]

You missed guldan too

 

[Rhaknar]

Tassadar might just be my favorite hero in the game

Isn't it fun discovering new heroes and your favorite hero changes like every week?

 

[Rhaknar]

Not sure if thats a jab at my fickle nature, which while not untrue (lol), my favorite hero hasnt changed since coming back, it was still Stiches.

Also ive been playing your boy Xul on the side and hes kinda fun, hes growing on me.

 

[Zackat]

Nah it is like that for me as well. I don't have as much time to play anymore so my unused hero backlog is kinda large. Whenever I get to play again I always find a new hero I like to play.

Not a jab at all, was just pointing out how easy it is to rediscover and fall in love with certain heroes you haven't played in awhile or at all. I hop between like 15 different ones and my favorite always changes

 

[brian!]

Think my fav will always be illidan w/ the unstoppable frames, too early to say w/ genji but he's up there.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Zeratul no contest, also the first hero I bought.

I was so bad with I had to bench him for a couple months because my winrate was like 40% with him.

 

[Zackat]

Zagara probably my fav

 

[Alur]

Genji my new fave. Nazeebo one of my all time favorites, not sure who else. I do miss OG Brightwing tho.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Oh shit, just checked my current winrates and I'm actually good at Tyrael.

 

[Kenai]

Lucio and ETC are my favs but I like Greymane Li Li Valla and Zeebo a lot too.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Just what we wanted boyz, double support with stun meta.

 

[Milly79]

KT hands down, obviously.

 

[Measley]

Gazlowe is by far my favorite.

D.Va may take his place though. Just tried her out in PTR, and she's pretty nice.

 

[Ketch]

Where

Are

The

Malfurion

Nerfs?

 

[SargerusBR]

Hmm...

Could it be?

 

[Rhaknar]

Hmm...

Could it be?

yes. Artanis also has the same purple and green Eva tint in one of this mech skins

And to "prove" that Blizz likes their pop culture references.

edit: just had one of those comebacks that when it happens to you you just feel like uninstalling the game, but it sure feels amazing when you do it lol. Used Archon that game and as much as I love the Wall plays, that Archon dmg is no joke.

And got a legendary... desert Zaggy dupe skin ;_; Why blizz

 

[Kioshen]

Proto you left us one game too early. My salt was washed away like nothing happened after all those horrible games, the QM goddess was merciful.
