HERE YOU CAN GET RID OF ALL YOUR ANGER AND HATE.

CAPS ON AND LET IT ALL OUT.

GETTING NOTHING BUT DUPLICATES WHEN ALL YOU WANT IS THAT SWEET NEW TORBJÖRN SKIN? GETTING HEADSHOT BY ACROSS THE MAP BY HANZO? TOO MUCH JUSTICE THAT RAINS FROM ABOVE? THIS IS THE RIGHT THREAD!

PLEASE STILL BE CIVIL, AT LEAST A LITTLE!

Just stumbled upon one of those Genjicat mini-comics from 2017 and the nostalgia hit so hard 😭 Idk if any of yall know about these comics... I remember that Mercy had Genjicat and Ana had Reinhardt Dog? Such a cute era of OW fan art...

Fan Content Tether rework: let Jetpack Cat drag dead bodies around before they disappear. If a dead body collides with an enemy, it knocks back and deals 50 dmg like old headbutt perk.

Post image
Upvotes

I've recently been inspired by the rare bonus entertainment that Overwatch ragdoll physics provide. Since bodies stay on the map for some seconds before they disappear, rework current tether to let Jetpack Cat pick up dead bodies only (on either team). Cat can then drag the body into enemies for knockpack and 50 damage before they disappear (same amount as old headbutt perk). This will simultaneously show off the hardwork put into all the corpse ragdoll that is currently easily overlooked, and lean into Jetpack Cat's identity as a hilarious joke character. It is even thematically appropriate for Cat:

  1. Cats will drag mice corpses places for fun
  2. Is a warcrime

News & Discussion Tierlist if ults no longer played voice lines

Post image
Upvotes

This is how each ult would be affected if there were no more match-wide ult announcements from enemy teams

This is also hypothetically having no extra sound effects either if they're map-wide, like Deadeye's "cowboy" sounds during his ult, or the energy sound while Doom is choosing a spot to land

The bottom tier is just for ults that are mostly supportive, or don't have pre-warning lines and just start instantly anyway, or ones that have no lines at all such as Hog

If I made a mistake that you disagree with, may I be locked for 1000 years in a bronze 5 game and bring shame to my family ;(

I'm not sure what the source they linked actually is. Is it trustworthy?

Looking at the image alone, I can't tell if it's an in-game skin or from an animation.

News & Discussion Did you know that Genji in his Screentime (Emote and Victory Pose), he scrolls a patch note from the official website?

1st and 2nd pictures: Victory Pose and Emote zoomed in. 3rd picture: The texture from the game files.

Hey, I don't know if this has been noted before, so just wanted to share. I'd love to know what specific patch note he is reading, though I find it odd that it uses OW1-era hero icons, but Junker Queen and Sojourn are there. I believe the order of the heroes from this patch note / texture is as follows:

1st: Doomfist
2nd: Junker Queen
3rd: Orisa
4th: Sojourn
5th: Symmetra
6th: Zenyatta

I tried finding the actual patch note on the website myself, but I didn't found any where it was on the same order. It's possible this was taken from various separate patch notes and merged together to make a fake patch note.

In-game, this image loops, so once it ends, it goes back to the Doomfist "patch note", to give an illusion that Genji is scrolling a webpage through his phone.

News & Discussion Playing mystery heroes made me realize how much time we’re wasting choosing maps

Upvotes

Ffs, the gamemode is called quickplay! Mystery heroes games are so fast, I realized what we’ve lost. Normal quickplay isn’t as quick anymore.

News & Discussion Have they intentionally kept the ‘new item’ notification on the Shop just to make us click it, even when there’s actually nothing new?

That's real scummy if so. I've scrolled through the entire shop and the notification is still there.

Fan Content Yoasobi Anran Cosplay!!!

Another look at my Yoasobi Anran cosplay as I have completed it and managed to get a photo shoot before I take it to Blizzcon this week!

A friend and I have created this cosplay and the electronics all by hand, and it took us about a month since this is the first time I've built a cosplay myself. I'm so happy to have completed it, however since I really enjoy playing a lot of Anran after picking her up a few months ago!

Stuffing the electronics into the accessories and shoes was certainly a challenge (yes, I attached LEDs to Heelys powered by massive phone-sized battery packs strapped to my legs, so not only are these super bright they can still roll).

For a closer look at the fan prop [photosensitivity warning]: Anran Fan LED effects

If you want to see upcoming photos / videos of this cosplay and the functional custom LED Heely's, make sure you check my Instagram @cstarplayer132 as I plan on taking this to Blizzcon and several other events in the future!

Thanks to pennydox for taking the amazing photos!

Upvotes

Vendetta and D.Mon are two melee heroes that got released and both of them have a quick melee that's seperate to their M1, Rein and Brig should also get one.

EDIT: Imma be real here, I was not aware that animation cancelling with quick melee was even a thing, my bad lmao.
