Weekly Role Discussion Thread: Defense - April 14, 2018

Posted: 13 Apr 2018 10:07 PM PDT

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.

Overwatch Wikia

You can find a list of the current defensive heroes on the Overwatch Hero Overview.

Share guides and strategies that are valuable to a defensive Overwatch Hero or other tips and tricks that helped you to get better. You can also propose ideas why a certain hero is bad in your eyes and how to make it better. Please do so in a constructive way!

Throwverwatch 2 - Yet another cartoon I made about the competitive overwatch experience

Posted: 14 Apr 2018 10:21 AM PDT

One of my favorite things to do: Play Retribution like a cool dumb action movie.

Give Orisa a pet Slicer

Posted: 14 Apr 2018 03:07 PM PDT

When you have Orisa's Null Sector skin on, her puppy emote and victory pose should have Slicers instead of puppies.

I wanted to relax with some Overwatch, but instead gets a huge adrenaline boost from getting my first sextuple kill

Posted: 14 Apr 2018 08:34 AM PDT

I tried my hand at cosplay - Ana's "snow owl" skin

Posted: 14 Apr 2018 06:37 AM PDT

I made basically everything from scratch, including the mask and the rifle. I had to cut a lot of corners to get the outfit ready for PAX East last week, but I think it turned out ok.

hoot hoot

I think next PAX East I'll try to go as Mercy for a day, too, either Eidgenossin or Fortune. (Mercy main btw.) And start earlier so more time can be spent on the details.

Is the photobomb meta back yet?

Posted: 14 Apr 2018 08:01 AM PDT

Its about sending a message.

His whole team left so we treated him like a king.

Doomfist golf or mini golf for next event.

Posted: 14 Apr 2018 08:04 AM PDT

For the next comp event. I think this could be great. His charge has multiple levels of power for both drives and chip shots. Putting could be his shotgun. If it's mini golf there could be obstacles we need to use his uppercut to get over. Lots of ways this could be awesome!

If Athena one day becomes a playable hero, I want Jeff to narrate our game.

Posted: 13 Apr 2018 09:43 PM PDT

Hey everyone, I'm Jeff from the Overwatch team. Today I have some very exciting news that the attack is commencing in 30 seconds. We think it'll be really coooool to attack point A.

Retribution PROTIP: SLOW THE HELL DOWN. Stop! Stop pushing forward! These are poorly programmed AI bots! They do not think! Slow down!

Posted: 14 Apr 2018 10:46 AM PDT

We don't need to rush ahead the instant a wave is defeated. Let your cool downs go away. Let me fucking HEAL YOU before we move forward. STOP ACTIVATING NEW SPECIALS WHILE OLD ONES ARE STILL AROUND.
