Jeff Kaplan: Perhaps we can try an alternate game mode to Mystery Heroes at some point… “Slightly Balanced Mystery Heroes” or something along those lines

Brigitte's Shield Bash jumps have been patched to a much lower jump height on the PTR. Comparison GIF

This stigma surrounding "tryharding" in Quick Play needs to stop.

Posted: 02 Mar 2018 12:30 PM PST

Yes, I aimed and killed you. Yes, I'm playing a hero that works well in our team comp. Yes, I swapped to someone who counters your pick, rather than whoever I was playing before. Yes, I called out when my ultimate was ready and combo'd it with someone else's ult to win a fight.

Playing the game properly is not 'tryharding'. I enjoy playing Overwatch, period. I don't need to play Battle Mercy or Spam Greetings Reinhardt in QP to get my kicks. I don't feel the need to deliberately 'not try' like so many people claim to, in order to enjoy the game.

Stop making people feel badly for playing the game in the way that it was intended. It creates a terrible negative flow within the game that spreads like wildfire.

You died, no big. The enemies aren't Grandmaster smurfs specifically trying to ruin your QP adventures. They're people playing the game... normally. Don't make players in this game feel bad for trying to enjoy Overwatch.

Mercy is a prey animal and should have her eyes set wider apart

Posted: 02 Mar 2018 12:41 PM PST

mercy's entire job is not getting her ass shot. your head is on a swivel and you basically win by not dying to predator heroes like reaper and tracer. here is my professional mockup for how her model should be changed to reflect these biological needs: https://imgur.com/bXXMXNh

further reading

Animals with eyes that are located on the side of its head would suggest a prey animal. Side eye placement allows for greater peripheral or side vision. This enables the animal to see predators approaching from the side as well as from behind. This vision is very important for protecting an animal when it is grazing or feeding.

And that's why you always read the patchnotes

Since Brigitte has a shield, can we finally have a medal for damage blocked?

Posted: 02 Mar 2018 08:35 AM PST

Reinhardt, Orissa, D.Va, Zarya, Mei, Symmetra. All have sheilds, yet we have no medals for blocking damage. It'd be nice to finally have it.

"Oh but Rein would always have gold" - Yeah, and so does Mercy or Lucio. Still a healing medal isn't there?

There's no medal for being a tank, we have a damage medal, a healing medal, but no medal to show what the tank did. It's about time we had one, right?

Brigitte as a lukewarm bowl of water

Haha cya..... wait what?

When you know what your daughter is going to do a half second before she does

‘What are you looking at?’(Sound is highly recommended)

New build on the PTR

Posted: 02 Mar 2018 02:35 PM PST

  • You can no longer effectively anim skip Brigitte's melee attack by raising her shield.
  • You can no longer deploy her shield while using emotes.
  • Her shield correctly disappears while emoting.
  • She doesn't seem to gain as much height while shield bashing as she did before. (Stays on the ground more like Genji swiftstrike or Doomfist's punch)
  • She can now correctly hit enemies behind low cover (Which caused the hitbox bug in the corner of the practice range)
  • Seems like you can sweep attack more consistently (similar to Rein & Genji blade).
  • Pressing melee attack now causes her to swing like using primary fire

Possibly new Swedish voice lines(?):

  • "Du mÃ¥r bättre snart": You'll feel better soon
  • "SÃ¥ gott som ny": As good as new

We really need an option to watch the character/player we want during overwatch league.

Posted: 02 Mar 2018 07:54 AM PST

It would make the viewing experience of the league so much better. How does the community feel?

Geguri casually kills an ulting Genji with Brigitte

Posted: 02 Mar 2018 04:43 AM PST

Reminder: D.Va, Lucio, Mercy, and Zenyatta have never been featured in a comic or animated short

Posted: 02 Mar 2018 10:23 AM PST

Saw someone talking about D.Va and wanted to bring this up. Would really like to see a bit more for these guys.

Who needs Brigitte's shield bash when you have the enemy Junkrat?

Why dual POTGs would be great

Posted: 02 Mar 2018 08:27 AM PST

What if Torbjorn, instead of producing armour...

Posted: 02 Mar 2018 07:12 AM PST

produced hero specific weapon upgrades?

Think about it, during one of Brigitte's promotional videos, it was said that Brigitte focused more on the whole 'armour' side of things, whereas Torbjorn preferred to focus on 'weaponry' (can't remember which video it was). What if Torbjorn could put out weapon packs for his team that would offer upgrades to their weaponry (including healer weapons!) for the cost of 50 Scrap, replacing his E?

For instance, if he gave a weapon upgrade to Symmetra, her gun's beam may charge up faster or have a longer range. McCree, he gets increased reload speed. If he tossed one out to Mercy, her staff would give a higher damage boost (40%, up from 30%) and her pistol would do a startling amount of damage. To Ana, she heals slightly more and perhaps gets more ammunition. Different upgrades for different heroes that enhance their ability to perform their role.

These upgrades would last until the hero dies (they're not lost if resurrected), and I think it'd be really cool to have a hero that can help to alter and change your team's weaponry instead of just crapping out armour that goes away pretty quick anyway.

Brigitte's concept was thought up over a year ago

Posted: 02 Mar 2018 04:07 AM PST

https://www.reddit.com/r/OverwatchHeroConcepts/comments/5o43b2/brigitte_melee_support/

as seen on this post, a redditor by the name of MustachioEquestrian posted an idea (not a leak) for a Hero in the Hero-concept subreddit , thats pretty much 95% dead on with what brigitte turned out to be , thought this was quite note worthy to see blizzard copy a character this precicely, either that or the guy had inside knowledge
