There's BLIZZARDWORLD! coming soon!

 

So they have been teasing the new content each day, which is pretty cool, I love all the new skins really, Pharah, Doomfist, Roadhog and Zarya's especially, but all are great. Also, I need that Sombra puppet emote!

Blizzard announces that D.Va wasn't a Starcraft pro prior to Overwatch, but rather a Command and Conquer pro. Blizzard then goes on to announce the canceling of Starcraft while simultaneously purchasing the Command and Conquer IP from EA. Michael Morhaime goes on record to say, "I always thought Starcraft was pretty dumb as far as games go, and I just had to stop living this lie. As far as the rest of our properties go? We'll see." It's the fact that they are REWRITTING THE BACKSTORY TO THE CHARACTER.... Now how it goes is: She was a command and conquer pro, between this time and current events *she joins overwatch* before or after she joins overwatch.... she swtiches over to starcraft 2 Does she still play starcraft 2 even during current timeline?

I'd like to make sure its known, since I saw him mention this in a chat, that VCR was joking about this.

Carry on.

It IS true that they clarified that D.Va wasn't a Starcraft Pro Gamer, but also that wasn't a rewrite. They never said she was a pro at Starcraft, just that she was a pro gamer and then announced her character at a Starcraft event while also saying she played Starcraft and that her character makes Starcraft references.

 

It's a super easy conclusion to draw, but they're not "rewriting" her because they never wrote her to be a Starcraft pro to begin with.

TLDR she is a pro and plays lots of stuff. Pro at multiple games.

Mercy's new skin is straight up Azula. Also, I love how if you have McCree's beach skin with his new highlight intro, he just throws a popsicle stick into the fireworks and somehow they explode from that.

 

Btw, to those who play Sombra, some future PTR changes accidentally made it to live:

 

  • No longer gains ult from health pack healing
  • Weapon Spread decreased by 10%
  • Hacking speed increased from 0.8s to 0.65s
Hacking will disable more abilities. Basically any ability that requires a button press will also be disabled. Here is a list:
  • Genji - Double Jump/Wall Climb
  • Pharah - Hover Jets
  • Hanzo - Wall Climb
  • Lucio - currently running Crossfade song will be disabled
  • Mercy - Angelic Descent

So I dunno if you guys have been following the recent lore updates, but Jeff has hinted that these are hints towards the next hero. And now we've got one about a letter Torbjorn wrote to his wife, giving context that the previous "White Dome" report that lets us know that's when he lost his arm: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/21574699

 

So Brigitte is not only Reinhardt's squire, but he is her godfather and responsible for naming her as well. Very interesting.

 

EDIT: If you follow any of the OW social media you probably saw this tweeted yesterday: https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/968198992453451776

 

Well,, when the Japanese twitter tried to post the same thing it accidentally came out like this (it's since been fixed):
