NEW Voice Actor for Talon/Vishkar Hero: Sanjay Korpal? Posted: 24 Jan 2018 09:16 AM PST Karthik Srinivasan (https://twitter.com/KarthikVasan). I realise this discussion is highly speculative, but I feel the evidence is overwhelming. I believe this man is going to voice Sanjay Korpal, an employee of Vishkar who also works alongside Talon: https://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Sanjay_Korpal For more information on the character Sanjay Korpal, see my previous discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/7ap1u9/talon_hero_identified_vishkar_employee/?st=jctaemxt&sh=5f6e1905 Here is the evidence: 1) He has recently started following Andrea Toyias, Overwatch's Senior Casting & Voice Director: http://oi65.tinypic.com/4gqd21.jpg (https://twitter.com/AndreaToyias) -- it is his most recent follow, in fact. 2) He is friends with Symmetra's voice actor, Anjali Bhimani. (https://twitter.com/sweeetanj?lang=en) They follow each other on Twitter and exchange friendly messages: e.g. http://oi64.tinypic.com/mmsqk1.jpg (https://twitter.com/KarthikVasan/status/951987949758922753) They also worked together in the stage production 'Orange' last year: http://www.trbimg.com/img-58b9de97/turbine/tn-wknd-et-0305-orange-20170304 3) He speaks fluent Hindi, English, Tamil, and French, as described in his resumé: http://www.karthikishere.com/resum%C3%A9.html. A foreign language is often a requirement for an Overwatch voice actor, but Hindi in particular is Symmetra's native language, and likely Sanjay Korpal's as well. 4) He lives in California, where Blizzard is based. Convenient. 5) Despite being an established film and stage actor, he has done video game work: "Just wrapped up motion capture and VO on a top secret video game! Watch this space..." (From his website: http://oi63.tinypic.com/f9fvaq.jpg) (http://www.karthikishere.com/) (I do not believe this secret project was Overwatch, but I'm citing it as evidence of an interest in video games work.) Now picture this scenario. The Overwatch team want to hire a Hindi-speaking male actor that lives in California to voice a character close to Symmetra. Where do they turn first? Anjali Bhimani, Symmetra's voice actor, may have recommended her talented friend, Karthik Srinivasan, who not only speaks the appropriate language, but is also an established actor in his own right. Ask yourself: who else could possibly be more perfect for this job? Symmetra and Sanjay are tied closely in the lore, and the actors already have real chemistry -- although this is not necessary, it's definitely a win-win. He has known Symmetra's voice actor since at least last year, but has only JUST started following the Overwatch Senior Casting & Voice Director. Why? He does not follow anybody else from Blizzard, as far as I know. Honestly, if he has not been at least considered for the role of Sanjay Korpal, I would find it bizarre -- he is the perfect candidate that ticks every box. submitted by /u/Taylonic [link] [comments]

I'm surprised Butcher Roadhog doesn't say "Fresh meat" upon hooking his target Posted: 24 Jan 2018 11:28 AM PST After an hour straight of playing Hog I haven't heard this line a single time. This amused me since the whole skin is a reference, and it is missing the most iconic part of it. On top of that is the fact that this skin is legendary, meaning it may contain custom voice lines, such as "gone fishing" as Sharkbait. (Maybe this voice line is too "violent" for the rating this game has, but... maybe?) submitted by /u/CrabbyFromRu [link] [comments]

The Blizzard World map has made me want an IRL Blizzard World Posted: 24 Jan 2018 08:54 AM PST Please, Jeff. They have Harry Potter World already and Star Wars Land in the works, no reason we can't have a legit Blizzard World! submitted by /u/whynot- [link] [comments]

[Spoilers] Attention /u/MissingPear Posted: 24 Jan 2018 07:49 PM PST Looks like you've got some skins to buy. Shanghai actually did it. They won a map against Seoul Dynasty. Pay up, my friend. submitted by /u/Piyamakarro [link] [comments]

Balance updates don't come out nearly often enough Posted: 24 Jan 2018 09:36 AM PST Not just to balance things that are OP or UP, but just to change things up and keep the game fresh. It shouldn't just be holiday events that are mostly cosmetic to get people to come back. It's ok if they break the game at times. If something doesn't work, roll it back. Try weird things just to see what happens. It took months to get rid if world of tanks, and months for mercywatch to maybe finally die. What's the point of seasons if the meta is the same? submitted by /u/HeihachiHayashida [link] [comments]

Blizzard, there is a depressing lack of cat puns for D.va's new Black Cat skin. Posted: 24 Jan 2018 03:08 PM PST Blizzard, you had this one. You had it on a silver platter, and yet not a single one of Black Cat D.va's voice lines are a cat pun. After the standard you set with D.va's other legendaries, I thought this would be obvious. I'm sure you were plenty busy with things like making sure your server infrastructure didn't burn down on launch day and maybe nerfing Mercy into oblivion, so here are some lines I think Black Cat D.va could benefit greatly from. On spawn "Systems are purring!" (Thanks to /u/Wefeh for that one) On successfully using Defense Matrix on an ult "Cat got your tongue?" On mech ejection "Cat's out of the bag!" On Mech recall "Eight lives left!" (Thanks to /u/wolfsilver for that one) On ult charge "Ready to pounce!" (Thanks to /u/nameless88 for that one) There. Those are free. Please update as soon as possible. <3 something something literally unplayable submitted by /u/Xauric [link] [comments]

Orisa was released 10 months ago, yet she still says "I'm still new at this". Posted: 24 Jan 2018 06:41 AM PST That excuse does not work anymore, Orisa! No, you are not new at this! If you miss your Halt, it's not because you are new, Orisa, it is because you chose a wrong angle or pressed your right click too early, Orisa! You are a grown up! submitted by /u/IAmHugger [link] [comments]
