This is what fun gameplay looks like when a character isn't nerfed into irrelevancy for a silver Moira main to hold an autolock beam onto. Skill, timing, positioning, cooldown management, all being rewarded. Amazing clip from Somjuu.
@OWAnonymous_
1 month is usually their final warning before a perma-ban.
Stop using OW's chat system, it is incredibly flawed and you will lose your accounts and the money spent on them.
@OWAnonymous_
You put Kiriko above Genji and Hanzo?? When all she gets is speed whilst both Genji and Hanzo have actual dragon gods that can be weaponized in many ways and their true potential is unknown that they even confirmed in the latest lore book?
Please be fr.

It's also literally why live service games exist or why games add on DLC and all that. People commit to playing, challenging themselves in different ways, exploring, etc.
Early balance preview for
#Overwatch2
Season 12 🧰
Blizzard are targeting high-mobility heroes, as they've become go-to picks. They hope to address this by reducing the health of multiple Damage and Support heroes.
@necros_ow
Its not even the fact that they're nerfing Genji, literally all the heroes that are good against him are in much stronger spots than he is, so if he gets his kit nerfed, enemy having a moira, zarya/winston and any opposing dps with eyes, means that your hero is a throw pick. :')
@GetQuakedOn
Best take on the situation, 5v5 can at least be enjoyable at times but constantly catering to new players makes it super tiring to play very quickly.
@OWAnonymous_
Brothers be acting like the devs will just click a button to turn on the 6th player for each side and the game won't see some big balance patches, please be for real.
Please just think critically for once.
There will be reworks, big and small for some new heroes as they go 6v6.
@OWAnonymous_
Apples to oranges.
Cosmetics should be compared to cosmetics, skins to skins.
You could compare the BO2 map pack to the Invasion bundle instead, you just ended up making yourself look silly.
Also, do you want to talk about CODs skin pricing? :)
Or do we just pick and choose?
@OWAnonymous_
This is literally the worst Genji work I've seen, this is how you break the character and ruin everything that makes him unique, this just makes him less skill and interaction based and more of the new OW2 design of "ability plays for you."
Horrible suggestion.
I don't want to jump to conclusions, I have always waited it out to see if I like a patch or not but the more I read these patch notes, the worst I felt about how the game will end up feeling.
This is by far the worst patch in Overwatch's entire life span.
@necros_ow
The worst part about it is how he's saying that if they were to ever give him damage or ammo back (He needs damage, healing is stupidly high+breakpoints) they will nerf blade first.
Why? There's so much stuff that counters Genji now that its absurd to think Blade is an issue.
@skiesti_
I'm not sure if this was intended or not but in the mega bundle, they use Mercy, 76 and Winston at the front art of promoting the bundle but within the actual bundle itself, 76 is not a part of it. :/
@necros_ow
Not just the blade and shurikens but the more you zoom in onto his helmet/face area, the more the neon green light of his default skin begins to stick out against the blue, its really off putting, I really hope they fix it because the skin is great otherwise.
@ThomasonTown
@CryCinema
In Zilla's defense, he is quite literally mutating every movie and evolving further and further, he couldn't run as consistently and as speedy as he did here, it makes sense that it would happen at some point.
Alternatively, they want to pay tribute to Showa-era Gojira.
@OverwatchNaeri
Not sure how to feel about this, their idea for content = cosmetics most of the time when those two things are not the same.
Clash is basically ready and SHOULD be pushed out into S11, we know we are getting Runasapi for Push map but thats it really. Would like to be surprised.
I love how Marvel Rivals has a profanity system where they REFUSE to let you send a message through chat if you have used a bad word, I wish another award winning hero shooter would figure out its profanity chat issues by now on its 8th year but it is what it is. :)
People can't stand seeing Overwatch in a positive light that much that they are willing to go as far as to make up lies just for a few clicks, likes and attention.
This information is false, there is not a single post from devs saying she's being nerfed.
@aaronkellerOW
Please just don't let this be a "You think you want it but you don't." or a "Yeah but it won't solve queue times" or "Its too late to go back."
It isn't too late, this beautiful game is STILL salvageable.
A superbly written article, Miller.
Going to play until the end but this is genuinely depressing. This was the game that I wanted the no man sky comeback more than anything. Only game that gave me that fantasy of being a hero with my friends.
Sigh. :/

"Which characters are coming?"

I got this to trigger early S3 and I have not seen anyone tweet about this, so I'll consider it to be a very rare voiceline but here's Genji's reaction to seeing an enemy Mercy pull off a Rez.
"Her work is efficient. As always."

Getting better at the game is realizing that Bastion is so easy to run over or even dive the second the cooldown is burnt, you respect it and just take him as the first pick of the fight because he cannot do anything about it, especially since his hitbox doesn't help him either.
@b0gur
The downfall of highlight intros is the saddest part, they were my favorite type of cosmetics to collect and now its just 95% of them being a zoom in on a character slowly, its not even cool, its just utterly boring to look at.
@skiesti_
I'm confused as to why an all heroes mode for all three missions not exist when we've had that before so we could have one side for the cinematic and narrative experience
and then another side could be to experiment and enjoy various heroes in the new PVE missions.
@OWCavalry
I was one who contributed to sharing the leaks but was later informed on how it goes against the work of the dev teams efforts, since then I've taken it down and learnt that it can be a detriment, this post of yours is also an inspiration towards doing better in the future.
Ty.♥️
@MarsyMews
Do not touch chat, please.
If anyone reports you, Blizz goes through your previous history as a justification, I lost 2 main accs this way and I'm on my 3rd and it already got a 1 month suspension, barely use chat now and have pretty much stopped altogether.
@HoshizoraOW
This literally encourages what the community wanted to avoid, counter-picking.
Now if the giga-buffed Winston isn't dying you have literally no choice BUT to counter pick, I really refuse to believe they sat there and thought. "Ah yes, this is the step we need to take!"
@necros_ow
If the patch notes are true, He is unable to outduel anyone, Winston, Zarya, Moira, Sym, Brig, Zen, anyone with semi-decent aim, would destroy him in his optimal range. The hero got sent to hell and is the worst DPS in OW2.
27 shurikens is also the lowest its ever been. :/
@necros_ow
And don't even get me started on the actual clear bias they have with protecting certain hero kits and letting others just dwindle away with time, its extremely obvious all Genji is to them is their
#1
cash cow to milk skin money from and butcher in balance for casuals sake.
The biggest downside to this is casuals banning who they don't want to play against rather than what is actually meta, imagine the typical player banning Genji, Doom and Mercy, not because any of these heroes are good at the moment, but that's what is popular.
We could see some big changes to
#Overwatch2
in future 👀
Alec Dawson confirmed that the team is now discussing Hero Bans, Map Voting, and Tournaments more seriously and that they eventually want to build towards these features.
@ItssApachi
Hitscan is literally point and click adventure it is really not as hard as people make it out to be, you just need to get good at one aspect of the game and you can ignore everything else, skill in OW in my opinion isn't measured by just "aim", that's silly.
Also I agree.
@HANZlT0
@RfPetals
@ghostcrebs
THANK YOU for pointing this out, I was astounded that after all this time his short story was "he's not ready, here's him getting beaten up and here's our poster girl saving him!''
Regardless, rest of the story was aight i guess.
@OWAnonymous_
They prioritize profit.
If X Hero has 100 fans and 10 fans buy skins VS If Y Hero has 50 fans and 5 fans buy skins it is obvious they will overinvest into their cash cow, it is a business and they just care about profit, not being 'fair', sadly.
@necros_ow
Would appreciate any buff he could get but knowing the balance team, giving a change to Genji to help him feel better will also result in horrible nerfs to make him clunky as all hell.
At this point, just giving 28DPS shurikens and 120 DragonBlade back, that's all I ask. :')
@b0gur
This requires blizzard to actually invest more than the bare minimum into OW, I hope to be proven wrong but they've shown repeatedly they do not want to do that.
I'd do anything for that OW anime to happen where we can finally take the story somewhere.
@whislayy
I love how your complaint is exactly what I thought it'd be, none of his combos work without the passive being online and one wrong mistep = free kill for enemy team, there's a million ways to stop him in the game, don't tell me you struggle VS panther when he's still ass?
@OWAnonymous_
Of course they could monetize it, they proved this.
They just couldn't make it fun to play over and over again, you would get tired of running the missions after 3 times max.
Not to mention till this day their boss designs have been 'bullet sponge number 182'.
Alright quick note, this post is made in pure jest and not meant to be taken seriously, secondly I believe OP's list has more to do with 'aim' then it does 'skill'.
Whilst aiming is a skill in OW, it isn't the end all be all to what defines the total skill needed in OW, tbf.
@Luxeno
Her succ is really not as strong as Moira's, her real damage is in the projectile she shoots out or the time stop, both which are skill based shots regardless, I think her succ is only really strong VS flyers(needed) and Spidey + Panther, outside of that she has horrible matchups
@rammaxyuri
Headcanon that she overthrew him the same way doom did to the old leader in the comic, tore pieces of his clothes to put with her armor and took his badge too, would be sick.
@ItsSomjuu
I know the video is for funsies and its funny however its sad that:
Mobility creep, power creep, HP pool increases, bullet size changes but no help for Genji to adjust to the new environment, I am sure there is no bias in the dev team at all. 👍
@HoshizoraOW
Aren't the ultimate BP Bundles about 35-40$? So if you want the skin, you have to outright pay that amount and you cannot get it separately, which is a bummer but I'm gonna get the ultimate regardless.

@CryCinema
WTF do you mean its a horrible ass excuse, he literally ate up so much nuclear and is also seen evolving further in the trailers. Its literally whats happening.
@OverwatchNaeri
Tokusatsu means "special effects" in Japanese.
It specifically refers to popular Japanese shows like:
Kamen Rider , Ultraman , Power Rangers/Super Sentai and Godzilla.
Overwatch art team has a lot of Kamen Rider & Sentai fans & These skins are inspired by Kamen Rider:

@Jtaylor0_3
I just can't understand how they took Jane's cancer part seriously(to the most bare minimum extent) and Gorr's suffering got no attention and was supposed to be like looking into the mirror of what was going on but they just toned it down each time he was on screen.
| MASSIVE THREAD |
Here's my personal opinion towards the 'World Of Tanks' patch, please understand that I play around the MMR of high masters-low GM on ranked and also play a lot of QP to see the game from the casual's perspective, here we go:
I will always be open to debates; they are fun, and I use them to educate myself to either discuss or enhance my knowledge on something that I could be potentially wrong about.
However, nothing ever warrants a message like this.
I am still in a rough patch of my life and I ->
@OWCavalry
We are indeed going through the Paladins route to make 5v5 work, I hope, IF the expanding passives are to stay, they experiment with (more damage to turrets, etc.) and other things that are interesting from that game.
@HazeletOW
Unironically, a gold white recolor of this with a little bit of shine could go really hard.
I see what they were trying to do with this design at least, a sunken statue found underwater type of gimmick, the armor and design looks cool but the rust and worn down look ruins it.
@OWAnonymous_
No Talon Winston, 76, Genji and Cass is a CRIME.
I was also very curious about OW Moira and Sigma.
Those unnecessary skins in the shop are complete waste of slots..
@ouiweenook
I really hate to be the one to say it but at the end of the day, popular heroes will always get more skins and be favored to get more skins than ones that aren't as.
OW is a business and businesses want to make money and OW really isn't in the best financial position lately.
The State Of DragonBlade in Overwatch 2. 🥲
Damage boosted slash-dash-slash-slash cannot kill a lifeweaver affected by 20% heal reduction, clearly Dragonblade was the issue and not nanoboost, we should just increase the swing speed and not touch the numbers guys. :))))
@OWAnonymous_
This would mean OW makes less money in the long term and would be rather consumer friendly in implementation.
That's not what they want, sadly.
Genji's shuriken damage to new armor is 17 DPS!
Gee, I sure hope this meta defining, most broken DPS of all time is finally bad and he isn't meta! I was so tired of these darn Genjis ruining my fun for the past 8 years! 😡💢
Now I can finally enjoy playing Lifeweaver! 😇♥️
@aaronkellerOW
This communication has been amazing, hoping to hear more from the team in regards to changes and updates to the game and really excited to see what this new game mode is going to be.
Thanks for the stellar communication, Aaron! :D
@bonnkrs
@birk_ow
It wasn't their father, Shimada daddy actually protected Genji even further despite some scoldings here and there, it was when the father passed away did other clan members pressure Hanzo to make Genji fall in line and that's where the battle then occurred.
@mega_bubu
I thought I was the only one who enjoyed this!
Also Takki, if its possible do you think the visor issue could ever be fixed in OW2?
For the 'recolors' of Genji's OW2 default such as street runner or the OWL recolors, a lot of them have the neon-green leaking into the new color.

But that's literally the point of a mutant mutating over time, adapting to his own body, growing, ever evolving, become a true apex predator.
In the first movies he couldn't run, in KOTM he sprint walks to Ghidorah, in VS Kong he crawls at fast speed now he mastered running.

@SamitoFPS
@ThisIsITalk
Your statement was that the game wasn't balanced well in 6v6, the devs alluded to numerous times that they did not want to nerf supports due to how support players reacted to said nerfs and believed problems lied elsewhere, they were wrong on both accounts, in both formats.

@YourOverwatchYT
To be fair here, it's not that people didn't like 6v6, people were not fans of the playstyles that were being promoted through balance patches, goats/double shield promotes the "hug your tank" playstyle so much more and pair that with the AOE healing strength in OW1, it made-
@OverwatchNaeri
Kaiju is japanese for monster and is the word use for creatures like Godzilla
but can also be used to describe villains from Kamen Rider, Ultraman and Super Sentai/Power Rangers.
The new skins seem very much like villains from Toku-shows.
I'm practically begging the balance team to PLEASE improve the game, there is no game that sucks the fun out of a PVP shooter as fast as OW does right now.
So much power in support, 95% of DPS roster utterly garbage, every tank has to play the brawl playstyle, what is this???
Deleted that post, you can't even have a discussion/debate in this community without people saying some of the vilest garbage about you or making accusations that just aren't real.
In one day, my family member's death and being called a P*do just because of an opinion. Ok man.
