I honestly believe that Winston would have been buffed by now if it weren't for the fact that certain popular top talent like Miro made him seem popular and nearly essential to use in a good team. He needs a rework like Bastion since everyone is being buffed around him and duplicate heroes no longer exist in competitive.

Also, does anyone think a hero who works sort of like Phoenix from Marvel Vs Capcom 3 would work in Overwatch? Basically a hero where if his or her ultimate is charged, it activates upon reaching zero health, immediately fills health to max again, and gives the player a burst of power and speed for one last attempt to kill a target or hold a point. Once the ult duration runs out your character dies or is 1 health and debuffed for a short period. Sound good to anyone?

Lana genuinely DESTROYED the competition.

Love is fucking BOP.

It's that the new heroine?

Is her ultimate lasagne?

 

[hypernima]

Anyone on PS4 wanna do some QP scrims tonight?
Wanna be able to practice Ana with a reliable DPS or Tank.

 

[Veelk]

Is it a rule for tournaments to use default skins? I never see anyone using anything else.

 

[Jellie]

Junkrat is in pro play. Lik must be happy.
And they switched to soldier now.

Yeah, Apex just started allowing custom sprays/emotes.

Everyone is seeing play right now in pro play, which is impressive as hell. (Even Bastion in final stage fights)

probably.
i remember some early tournaments had skins, emotes and sprays that werent default.

Whoops

OW and POPGAF are right beside each other in my subscriptions

Lana would slay as a hero tho. She would put everyone to sleep as her ult

Right now I can see non-default skins in AMM.

Also J3sus damn

 

[Antiwhippy]

Roadhog most balanced hero in the game confirmed.

Now think about how his spread is going to be tightened...

I feel bad for instantly recognising that it's a popgaf post.

miro didn't even play that much winston this season.

he got forced into dva and rein duty

 

[finalflame]

Holy shit Mangachu.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'm so fucking glad that mangachu (and by extension pharah) is back again.

 

[Jellie]

Holy shit Mangachu.

Not sure why they were running Tracer and Genji against Pharmercy.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Hammer letting Mangachu run wild on them. Those were some nice precision rockets on that last map.

 

[Antiwhippy]

It's not only miro running monkey. Every team running triple dps only uses monkey.

Hey guys, I posted in the latest Overwatch topic in Gaming a (stupid) theory about the next hero. Can someone check and tell me if I'm too stupid... ah heck I'll just repost it here.

Edit: Hey guys, I came up with a theory, tell me how stupid it is.

So, Jeff Kaplan said in the forums that "24 is not who you think it is".

Later in some event, he was showing a concept art for Overwatch and said "By the way, before our Reddit explodes, the hero in the middle is not who you think it is."

So, do you guys think that punk spidergirl there could be next? I know it's kinda left field... Maybe Kaplan just likes to say samey stuff, or am I reading too much into it?

Certain skins give a competitive advantage or create confusion which is not okay :T They keep skims turned off.

I personally think it's Zarya original concept before they changed her.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Wtf at how aggressive renegades were.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

What are you all taking about?

 

[KanameYuuki]

That really makes all sense with the barriers, pink hair, lazer and the comment, which sucks, so no spider girl : |

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

These dive comp defenses. Have any of the OGN Apex S2 Korean teams been running dive comp on defense?

 

[Anne]

You see it every now and then. Korean teams tend to go with more stable stuff, but defensive dive isn't bad.

 

[Jellie]

J3sus carry.

 

[TheOddOne]

J3sus, jesus.

 

[The Spoony Hou]

I personally think it's Zarya original concept before they changed her.

She could still be reworked. Maybe.

I don't know, I'm kinda more curious to know if i'm the only one who came up with that theory, lol. Seemes like something someone would have suggested before.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Aggressive dive defense is fine but renegades don't seem to respect ult advantage.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

J3sus 71% kill participation lol

 

[Joshmyersbv]

I've never seen this before, thank you.

Renegades don't seem to respect anything lol

The rabbit hole goes deeper.

 

[Jellie]

lmao rip pharah.

 

[Kito]

This is also my question every blue moon when I decide to visit the OT.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Nico been looking pretty good for Rogue so far.

 

[Nimby]

Catching up with the stream. Mangachu so godly on Pharah.

Well if you look at the original concept with all the characters most of them are completely different than what there are now. A lot people think the tank on the far right is possibly the new character. https://goo.gl/images/zdF4pm

 

[TheOddOne]

Mangachu

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Oh, this is the caster that always says "go quietly into that good night" all the time.

Oh, don't worry, I do know the main theories that are going around. I was just posting a different take on it all .

The rabbit hole goes deeper.

Yeah, I really think this guy is overthinking a bunch of stuff. But looking again at the Sombra web, and that Blizzard told us to pay attention to it, I guess maybe the new hero will be the fully omnic one and that Kaplan just accidentally said the same stuff without thinking much.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

The rabbit hole goes deeper.

That 4chan leaker hasn't gotten anything right except Winston getting a skin, so I would take the stuff about Anchora with a grain of salt.

 

[rulerk1]

jebaited by a timer wow

Yeah, a lot of people pointed it out that the leaker wasn't reliable. Just crazy seeing people make up all these theories.

Shhhhh it's in a good way. <3

 

[Joshmyersbv]

Oh ok lol, I hope we get some info on the new character really soon, hopefully sometime next week.

Btw these guys playing right now are really good. I don't think I could ever play on this level lol and for some reason the music for Overwatch reminds me of Warhawk

 

[Veelk]

Everyone seems to agree that Mercy is the least effective healer because of her kit not being sufficient to keep up with the likes of Ana or Zenyatta being better since he can multitask while Mercy can only do one thing at a time. But I don't think any healer can be as exhaustive to fight against against. They're like cockroaches, nigh impossible to put down for good.
