Jump in day one to place, then wait two weeks to start really playing. Just the opposite at the end of the season, avoid the last couple weeks at all costs.

I sincerely doubt they wouldn't release any full gameplay content between Oasis coming out and May.

I think the little >_< thingie in the top left is supposed to be an OR-15:
Weird things going on in the top 500? American region cut off for top 500 is diamond now???
It's a glitch apparently. I still don't know why Blizzard haven't prevented smurfs from getting top 500 rankings. It's silly how saturated it is with smurfs.
Apparently lots of known exploiters got kicked out. Those who queued as a 6 stack late at night to get easier games. Dunno how on EU it goes from 4000s then one guy in the 3000s. Skips two tiers at the end for some reason.
Haha, yes, fuck those guys.
Lucio speed boost + everyone runs away for the duration of the ult would still be a valid defense. Same thing people with nanovisor.
Come to think of it, wasn't nanotank hard to kill even before the PTR buffs? It's just that we rarely saw Bastion in the first place.
It's got to be two heroes. I can't see how Efi's tweet lines up with the intentions of the previous tweet.
Maybe a cinematic with Doomfist destroying the OR-15s and the resurrect robot reappearing in the cinematic controlled by Efi. Tank and a support or defense.

Should I be scared of Bastion or should I be maining him for S4?
Some people think he's going to ruin the game completely.

Pretty sure Jeff has said they will not introduce multiple heroes at once. That would be a balancing control nightmare. You never introduce two new variables into a system at once.

That's why it'll take so long to get both!
I dunno man. Nanovisor is hard to avoid tbh and you kinda need to focus the Soldier down or sleep if you want to stand a chance. The problem with Bastion is that even transcendence can't heal through his damage and it's not practical to take him down. You'd need a DVa and an Ana to really "deal" with him.

Nanotank >>> nanovisor easily, but I hesitate to call it the thing that will make bastion OP.
I'll be interested to see how pros deal with him or how his viability has changed.

Jeff also said everyone was playing Symmetra wrong.
Bring on multiple new characters! I want the chaos of the Beta days again.
Plans change

Also honestly a lot of the things pros or other people say will be super OP can often time be not the case. Remember when everyone though sombra and new sym will be super OP?
DVa, McSniper and S76 everyone knew but that's because they got a numbers tweak that is more easily quantifiable. Bastion is a bigger mechanical change that I can't quite tell how it would effect the meta. Much like sombra and the new sym. Even with the DVa example back when she had her DM changed everyone thought she was super OP and every pro was running her until they realised "oh she still dies super fast to zarya".

Why would you release more than one hero? They are always constantly balancing the game and to introduce two new heroes is absolutely insane to balance around. Imagine releasing two Ana-tier characters together. It would be mayhem.
I'm just asking the question. I feel like his ult is the scariest part because of how unmanageable it seems. But in practice, it might be different.
Also Bastion's changes are quite number orientated. His mechanics and role hasn't be changed or improved. He's just a lot more survivable now.

I like the optimism, but this isn't going to change.
So Efi is straight up building an Omnic that can wield the Doomfist, right? She already has the Doomfist, used it to straight up beat the shit out a few OR-15's at the airport and stole another, and needs all the other parts to upgrade the OR-15 to the point where it can wield the Doomfist.
Cinematic being released with the Doomfist hero will be her breaking into the airport to steal the OR-15 which includes a scene with Lucio. Right? This shit is too easy! =)

They've done multiple hero releases before but that was in the beta I guess. Also Ana wasn't in the same state as she is now when she released.

No, it's bigger than that. Sentry mode has been completely reworked to the point that it's hard to know how it affects him. Is the extra durability better for him, or is the inability to headshot and bigger spread worst for him? What is its purpose now? Because previously recon mode is basically to move him from spot to spot to be a damage dump in sentry, but can he do that now outside of tanks? That was the whole appeal of him previously, is that he's a no falloff hitscan that can deal super accurate damage at any range. This changes that.
Recon mode is a straight up numbers tweak, but does it make him super better in that mode compared to the rest of the DPS lineup?

I look forward to Reaper getting beaten up by the Doomfist. Wonder if it'll be a detachable rocket gauntlet or something.
Blizz can't let me down.
They put out the Sym rework and Sombra within weeks of each other

Sombra went to PTR on 11/7 and the Symmetra changes went on PTR on 11/22, and they were tested separately. Sombra went Live on 11/15, a full week before Symmetra re-work even hit the PTR. Symmetra's changes would then go live on 12/13, if I recall.
These were tested separately, and a hero re-work is very different from introducing an entirely new hero with an entirely new kit. While Sombra did get a number of new abilities, her core concept remains unchanged.
Everyone should really just stop deluding themselves -- Blizzard is not releasing multiple heroes at once.

I mean isn't doomfist just literally the fist?

Isn't there in-game art of three Doomfists on a poster? On Numbani, I think.

Yeah, the one who inherits the fist is named doomfist right?
Unless I'm mixing things up and the successor is unrelated to doomfist?

Whoever holds the gauntlet inherits the title "Doomfist." That was confirmed a long time ago.

I'd believe Omnichu wields the Doomfist, though. So the Doomfist is in the game, but no hero named Doomfist.
There must always be a Lich King.

She's just really living up to the spider gimmick with the costume that most fits it, sleek silky hair.
no, your right.
There has been 3 doomfists. The Savior, The Scourge, and The Successor. There is a poster of them in Numbani
Edit: or maybe they arnt named doomfist, thats just the glove thing?
