Today's Overwatch comic in a nutshell

Roadhog's voicelines are much too quiet.
Posted: 21 Dec 2016 01:43 AM PST
Almost all of roadhog's voice lines, including his event ones, are barely audible. It sucks because he has such great ones, but no one ever hears them. Turning up the audio for some of his voicelines would be a small but great change for roadhog players like me.

Tracer being gay is great, but no one is talking about Reaper or Widow.
Posted: 21 Dec 2016 03:30 AM PST
Reaper is sitting in an alleyway watching a Hispanic family doing the holidays, and Widow is visiting her husbands grave. It shows that even though they've changed, a part of them still lingers that feels remorse and sadness about the past. Considering this is an official Overwatch comic, it makes it canon, and that fascinates me since they were shown as ruthless assassins, but still hold on to some humanity.

"I need healing" Is NOT an Insult
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 11:21 PM PST
I just say it to improve visibility when I really require healing as fast as possible. I'm not saying that you're not healing enough, I'm simply making it clear that I need healing, so that letting me die can be a more informed decision.
Yes, people sometimes press it when they're not visible or too far away, and that's unfortunate, but it's still not meant as an insult towards you.
Sincerely, a flanker that's trying his best

Anyone else feel like this reveal was kind of... forced?
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 02:38 PM PST
I mean don't get me wrong, I'm all for representation and all that, but the reveal of Torbjorn's wife came completely out of nowhere.

For those wondering why Hanzo was looking at a cake in the Christmas comic
Posted: 21 Dec 2016 02:28 AM PST
I thought this was a super cool detail that may have confused some people. In Japan, one of the main Christmas traditions is Christmas cake. It's not a fruit cake like in Western countries, but rather a light sponge cake with strawberries. Many of them have a chocolate message disc on top (common on Japanese cakes in general for writing stuff on, instead of directly into the icing). I was extra surprised they had the disc on top! Well done, artist Miki Montillo!
So, I would assume that Hanzo is in Japan with his son (???) getting a traditional cake. Although, if my experience is anything to go buy, there ain't no way he's getting one from a display case on Christmas Eve. Stores take preorders from like late October for those overpriced fluff cakes.
See for yourselves!

Apparently every Overwatch comic so far had an animated version, here are all the links.
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 02:56 PM PST
So today Overwatch's 10th comic released, and I saw it in the battle.net client. When I clicked on the link to read, it took me to a site called Madefire instead of Overwatch's own site, and I noticed it was animated. After noting that I thought this was the only animated one, /u/KiwiMayCry pointed out that every single one actually has an animated version, they're just not very well known. So I searched around a bit and compiled all of the comic's animated versions into a list for easy access. Here they are:
You can also get the Madefire app to read the comics on your phone or tablet. You will have to download each comic individually, but they are free and the filesize is about 70mb per comic.

Dear X-box players, I am so sorry.
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 03:45 PM PST
I'm so very sorry. I bought my brother Overwatch for his 14th birthday a couple of days ago because he loved watching me play and he really wanted the game so I knew it would be the perfect gift for him. Before his birthday arrived I explained to him the importance of cooperation between teammates and filling the roles needed for an effective team in the game so I had hope that he would follow my advice and become a team player.
I was mistaken. As he tried out every character he kept going back to Hanzo and Genji. This was finally solidified when he opened up the Bedouin skin for Genji in his lootbox. Now he only plays Genji, no matter the team comp.
He's currently level 24 (about to hit 25) and he plans on going straight into ranked. To make matters worse he even refers to himself as "Pro Genji".
TL;DR: I'm so sorry. I've created a Pro Genji you have to deal with.
EDIT: He's been placed in Gold. Best of luck to all of you.

Skin idea for everyone: Battle-Worn
Posted: 21 Dec 2016 07:27 AM PST
These could simply be the character's default skins but with heavy damage to their outfits and weapons.
Genji: His Shurikens and Sword have parts chipped off of them, his helmet is broken and his other eye is visible. One of his ''horns'' is chipped and his armour scratched. Some of his cooling tanks that pop out in the Dragons short could be missing
McCree: His cape is torn and he is missing his cigar, the gun is beat up. His hat is filled with bullet holes
Pharah: Her visor is gone, her gun and armour are worn and she could be missing one shoulder plate.
Reaper: Well we can't break his mask since that'd reveal what he looks like under it, but his clothes could be damaged.
Soldier: Mask is broken, gun damaged and he could be missing a sleeve.
Sombra: SMG is beat up, clothes damaged, her hair could be a mess.
Tracer: Chronal Accelerator is glitching, trousers and jacket torn, hair is a mess.
Bastion: Damaged chasis and guns.
Hanzo: Torn clothes and scratched weapon.
Junkrat is pretty damn worn as it is
Mei: Clothes and weapon damaged, hair pin missing and her hair is set free.
Torbjörn: Damaged gun, hammer and armour, but turrets brand new, since why would the fresh built turrets be damaged.
Widowmaker: Torn clothing ( ͡° ͜Ê– ͡°) and damaged gun
D.va: This is a hard one, since she calls in new mechs so it makes no damn sense for them to be damaged.
Reinhardt: His helmet is half missing, armour and hammer worn.
Roadhog, like Junkrat is already pretty worn.
Winston: Armour and gun could be chipped and some of his facial hair burned.
Zarya: Armour broken, gun damaged and her hair is a burned mess.
Ana: Worn clothing and gun, eyepatch missing, revealing her eye
Lucio: Armour and gun damaged, some of his hair tubes are let loose
Mercy: Armour, staff and gun damaged. Clothing torn and hair is a mess.
Symmetra: She can make new clothes from hardlight? If not, then her visor is busted and clothes and gun worn. Turrets and tele/shield generator are normal, since she just made them.
Zenyatta: Large scratches and a few of the orbs floating around him are half destroyed.
Extra: All the skins could have the same theme as Junkrat's Scorched. They would all cost 250, since they don't change the skins that drastically, in fact these could be ones you have to earn by doing some new achievements.
Please upvote so my 25 minutes of writing aren't wasted

Did Blizzard really have to shove it down our throats like that?
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 06:24 PM PST
I'm absolutely disgusted. How can Blizzard do this to me? Now every time I play Torbjorn I have to think about his stupid kids and his wife, McCree and his drinking problem, and what's on the note that Genji is writing.
