That's great, Orisa is a really fun character.

Here is hoping they fix the glitch Mei's ult has now though, it's a serious issue with her right now.

[Hyogo]

I really hope that Lucio rework makes him more fun/just as fun as he is right now, if they ever consider it and put it on the PTR of course.

[Darkflare]

Only the Bastion nerf and Orisa are live right?

I'm waiting on those Lucio changes because l'm hoping being forced to be near teammates to actually be useful is the change that will make people drop Lucio on account that I'm tired of seeing him as the solo healer.

[Hyogo]

feelsbadman for console players to finally get that Bastion nerf that PC has had for a while now.

I can see Lucio changes (hopefully they change some minor things though) and stuff like the new anti-draw function for competitive and the Eichenwalde change coming next week.

[DelusionTrim]

There is another Eichenwalde change in the works? I thought the gate being opened after it being destroyed was already it.

And hopefully the Lucio changes will at least make him harder to be effective with, rather than being effective by purely existing along with making it easier to freeze people.

Nope, they made another change in that there's another, easier way for attackers to get to the point to even contend. It's still a chokepoint, but it's atleast another way to pull off an easy feint then have a Dive team and hope to god you can get away with it.

I'm going to take a real long break from this game...

It's honestly too frustrating to play on your own anymore. And I'm just getting tired of the character imbalances, the matchmaking and the 2CP maps and Eichenwalde's first point.

Not to mention the griefers and everything else...

Relatable, I've been having immense problems progressing past low Diamond and I'm eagerly awaiting the Eichenwalde and Lucio changes HOPEFULLY coming tonight.

Sombra clues!

Mei's ult bug will finally be fixed:

Hell yes, about time. Along with that, her cryostasis not removing Ana's grenade's debuff is on their bug fixing priority list too, so yay a neat little buff to Mei, she deserves at least this much.

I knew there was something wrong with my Ultimate on Mei just not happening at times...

That's why I stopped using her for awhile because it felt like my Ult was always eaten by a D.Va or something.

The new comic based on the upcoming event due the 11th of April, pretty lovely to see a lore event this time!

[Hyogo]

Wouldn't be Overwatch if something didn't get leaked.


Preview of 4 of the skins that will make it to the event, this is NOT all of the skins nor confirmed that they will be the only legendary skins either. (Because people on the Overwatch forums don't understand that)

[Moon Girard]

Didn't Jeff say Widow was getting a new legendary this event on the overwatch forums? did they get amnesia there?

Anyway totally getting that Mercy skin.

They said Widowmaker (to get one this event) and McCree to get one in Spring, I assume both will get one this event however.

French Trailer leaked for Tomorrows Event. McCree and Genji get Blackwatch legandaries, Widow gets a new legendary for before she became blue and Orisa gets a new epic/legendary Skin.

[DelusionTrim]

These costumes look really good all around, I might at least play a bit of McCree again, been thinking of playing Genji as of late and this seems like the perfect opportunity to do so. Nice to see Rein and Tracer getting some love too since I play them a lot, and Orisa's legendary looks promising.

I'm really liking how the new event mode is looking, I loved the one during the Halloween event and considering how this seems in line with that one, it's safe to say it will be a lot of fun.

[Person Man]

I'm liking the event so far.  I'm glad they also included a mode where you can run it as any character instead of the preset team, since the last PvE event felt really limited with just the four characters.

Although, it does feel like it was only really balanced for the preset team.  Junkrat and Lucio pretty break the entire mode.

[DelusionTrim]

So here is something that I feel everyone should know, do not, and I do mean do not play Mei because right now there is a bug making her unplayable: her freeze doesn't slow people down.

It's been acknowledged as a glitch by the devs, saying they would fix it soon, hopefully they do mean soon. I thought I was crazy thinking how impossible it felt to freeze anyone, fuck man this is just not fair :T

[Hyogo]

Lucio's new gameplay has put me off playing him after a few hours of proper testing, he feels much less of a support and I liked the old Lucio better, it's something I can adapt to but would rather not unless they do something about that aura range.

So now I'm picking another hero to get a gold weapon for, may go for Orisa since I have a fun time using her, even though she's not ideally in the best of spots right now
