In this weekly thread you can discuss the Defense roles of Overwatch to your heart's delight. What are the characteristics of those heroes?

The main objective of the defense role is to guard locations, create choke points, and establish a front. They may have long range weapons or the ability to create turrets, and excel at area denial.

When the squad tries to flank

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 06:01 AM PDT

Buying a golden torb gun should make his turrets gold as well.

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 01:51 PM PDT

I recently made the poor life choice of investing 3000 competitive points into a golden torb gun (don't ask why) and was mildly disappointed when I noticed his turrets are not gold as well. anyone else think this would be nice?

Blizzard gave me Man'O'War headset for cheering for Poland the loudest today in Katowice

After Saturday's match between South Korea and Poland a woman approached me and said that for cheering Poland the loudest they give me this gear.

It was amazing match. I was hoping that Poland will be able to pull at least one good battle against Koreans. But they exceeded my expectations. They fought really well against much better enemy. They had their fair share of won battles.

I could barely contain myself when Poles were taking the second point on Horizon. Winning a round against South Korea? I stood up screaming at the top of my lungs. Unfortunately they only got 84%.

After the match the audience stood up and thanked our representation. It was awesome. Sweet gear from Blizzard made it only sweeter.

Blizz, please the hit box on this rock is waaaay too big. Countless times I've tried to teleport to the ledge or at least the balcony by the point, only to end up on this god forsaken rock.

Remember when Dva's defence matrix was different?

Remember when Ana was Sombra?

Remember when Lucio ball began?

Remember when we lost at junkenstein's revenge?

Remember when tracer never got an event skin for Halloween?

Remember when everyone was pissed off at the ARG?

Remember when everyone was excited for Sombra's release?

Remember when the arcade first arrived?

Remember when everyone hated Sombra?

Remember when lunar new year happened?

Remember when everyone thought orisa was Doomfist?

Remember when the first non holiday event happened? (Uprising)

Remember when a lot of people accepted Sombra?

Remember when the anniversary happened?

Remember when Doomfist came out of no where?

Remember when the summer games was announced again? Edit: thanks for all the support this post is getting guys! ( ^ - ^ )

Can we get a cinematic where Tracer actually lands shots on something?

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 01:16 PM PDT

Watching her fire 7 clips at doomfist made me realize she kind of looks like a joke in cinematics.

Butt clenching moment : Lucio Edition

Playing Mystery Heroes over Competitive/QP mode has been the best decision I've ever made

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 10:21 AM PDT

Not only the toxicity is down 95% but the fact everything is random makes it perfect. I'm usually a competitive person and we all know how the current season is totally crap, but since I decided to play MH only, I have enjoyed the game so much...

I know this is a bit obvious but I feel the need to tell you all because a while ago I used to think this game was so boring, but now everytime I want to have fun I choose Overwatch (MH mode) instead of any other game. Give it a try.

Zenyatta Buff Idea

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 05:13 PM PDT

To make discord orb actually feel like it's sowing chaos, the target of zenyatta's discord orb should be put into voice chat with zenyatta, allowing the player to attempt to mess with him in any way possible. This allows him to harass that player, rickroll them, or just scream into the mic loudly to shut down their situational awareness.
