Overwatch: Numbani map updated on PTR, Doomfist's gauntlet stolen
- Thread starter benzopil
- Start date
I want Doomfist to be a berserker or reaver type. Like a tank who passively eats some of the incoming damage for his teammates and the lower his health, the more damage he does and faster he moves. (Or just a cranked up offense type who has similar effects.) I think Overwatch has room for a character who becomes deadlier the lower his health is, sprinting around punching for loads of damage.
It's easy to balance, too, since he would be naturally poor against the likes of Mei and Junkrat.

This mechanic is in direct conflict with the game design that focuses on healing and low time to kill. It should not happen.
Eh. Widow and Hanzo one-shot a lot of characters. Hanzo can kill Zarya with 1 scatter arrow. McCree vs McCree is a pretty fast duel, healing is pointless if nobody misses. Lots of examples.
What kind of changes exactly? In your opinion, of course.

Haven't followed this closely. Is it some kind of new robot character?

She needs an arm of some kind? Perhaps an arm for a fist?
Axiom Vocal Processor?
Better have an Old Spice jingle voiceline.
Doesnt match the paint colors shes picked out, or the little head she drew.
Yeah i'm not saying Axiom is the new hero. I just posted it for people who don't know who that is.
But the new hero omnic will probably look similar to Axiom.
Excited for the reveal.
The world could always use more
the fact that it's "Lucio-oh's" instead "Luci-oh's" annoys me so much actually

Why? I mean a real life example is Oreo O's
That's equally awful.

Why, thank you! Now I will never be able to sleep happily or, in fact, be in a feeling of rest for the rest of my life. Thank you.
This is seriously hurting something inside of me and it burnt itself into my brain.

does bastion fuck in the update?
This is the work of Talon.
I'd worship Talon if they gave me unlimited access to Oreo-O's.
So we're basically getting a omnic created by Efi. Whether she sent her omnic to retrieve the doomfist gauntlet is the real question.

I can't get behind this, it's not a very good tasting cereal. Usually the leftover milk is the saving grace for chocolate cereals, but Oreo O's is just... not worth it.

Those triangles sort of remind me of the character on the right:
This is sort of what I'm guessing, but tweaked. The OR-15 chassis looks a lot smaller than that. Also kind of doubt that it'll be wielding the Doomfist gauntlet, I think that'll be a second hero.

Ah some interesting tidbit's there. Looks like we have our first hints at what the shape of the Omnic's head will look like as well as the color scheme.
Exciting stuff, can't wait for the reveal. Gotta be coming over the next week or so I would think judging by the ramp up in hints at a quick pace
Truly an enemy of Talon.
because it sounds awful
oh cool, we don't have those here in Norway so I did not know that's a thing
Even that sounds bad though
I think the lore draws a distinction between omnics and robots. Omnics aren't man-made.
How were/are they created? I was under the assumption they were made by men until their AI became too complex for us to control.

Luci-Oh's sounds like a plural version of Lucio or "Lucy" O's, it doesn't make much sense besides being a play on words and it's not clever.
Last comment I'll ever make on the Oreo O's cereal, but I'm not a big fan of it. If I had to rate it 1-10... it's a 4/10
Notice the 7 green thingy.
It's official: we're getting spider droid not Doomfist.
... I'm a little bothered that they're doing the same thing they did with Ana/Sombra. Is this going to be a reoccurring theme?
It's not official yet. Calm down.

This is a lot more innocent than that shit Sombra ARG. These are straight up world building teasers whereas the Sombra thing was a lot of carrot on a stick for a pie in the face once you ripped it down.
I don't mind them leading up to an announcement with teasers like this as they've likely already internally set a date, just as long as they never make the community feel like they can unlock it early by decoding binary.

Bastion fucks alright. He got a huge buff in PTR. If his current buff releases to the live servers, he's going to be doing a whole lot of fucking. Butt fucking.

I don't understand if y'all are saying he is better or worse in the update
It should have been clear when they said that "24 isn't who you think it is".
Prepare to see a lot of offensive Bastions. His heal is now like D.Va's defense matrix. It's on right click and has a meter, and can be done while moving.
His sentry form gave him tighter shots with slightly more damage. His turret form lost headshot multipliers and have a bit wider grouping but still is quite deadly.

Hmm, never thought about that. I wonder if Blizzard could make her fit through all the doors in the game or rework her in some other way, but yeah, I guess you're right that she seems too big for the game.
