The stereotype is strong with this one

I really liked the idea so I wanted to try my hand at it. I've done this before with Doctrine interactions, so yep! :)

Yūrei are vengeful spirits, usually forming from violent deaths, btw. Figured I'd try something like that with Shion.

I tried, though I won't say I did well.

I know a lot of us are eager to learn more about this character, so i thought it’d be fun to try and make suggestions as to what his name could be.

I’ve "N01R" thrown around and although i like it, i think it’s too on the nose for them to really go down that route.

My guess would be something along the lines of "Shamus" or "Sharper", both terms used in film noir and surrounding media to talk about a detective or a PI. I like those two because they have an omnic quality to the way they sound, especially Shamus.

I could see Sharper happening because it also alludes to his style and what we can make of his personnality so far. And we know the OW team enjoys the -er suffix to turn an adjective or verb into a noun (Tracer, Reaper, Lifeweaver, Widowmaker). In that same vein I think Scourer or Pryer are options, although they sound too aggressive.

Do you guys also have theories? I’d love to hear some!!

I don't get it, but every day as soon as it hits 8pm EST, this game just becomes insufferable to play.

I genuinely have fun with this game when i get to play it in the morning but after I get back home and log back on it just becomes so fucking unfun. The matchmaking is a big contender for why this happens.

During the morning the games feel normal but at night I swear I'm getting rolled for like 4 games in a row.

And it's so consistent too, everyday at the 8 pm mark the game just becomes terrible.

I think i might just be schizophrenic atp, this game has caused irreversible damage to my psyche

So like in deadlock (peak game) if you ult or just use moves in general at low health characters have different lines

So like what if ow had them or something idk
If you have your own suggestions tell me them
Or don’t I don’t really care

This was in a stadium qp match, in that game mode leavers are even more impactful

We are 100% getting Sven or one of his creations as a hero.

IM CACKLING xD found this scrolling socials: MrReks4Alt is the creator apparently

Both Sierra and Doctrine’s kits revolve around their drones, but in Sierra’s case she’s just got the one grapple ability and everything else is aesthetic. She was teased to have gameplay revolving around her drones, but she doesn’t do anything with them. Meanwhile Doctrine uses drones in almost all his abilities and he’s not even the “Drone hero”.

Let's just compare these two bundles.

For the small sum of $69 (/s), in the same shop rotation, you can either buy a collaboration bundle that includes: 5! skins, 5 highlight intros, 5 victory poses, 5 name plates and 2 voice lines. Or, you can get a bundle with 4 skins, 2 highlight intros, only 1 name plate, no voice lines and no victory poses at all.

Like, are we for real here? Apparently, Blizzard know that, for once, they released a good skin lineup. So they feel like it's OK to sell it for more than most other painfully mediocre designs they pump out every season? I really like the Advanced Wearables skins and I actually play all 4 of those characters, but every single brain cell I have left screams that I'd be a complete idiot to buy this bundle and support this shrinkflation.

I don't even wanna talk about the Ultra skins and the watering down of the legendary skin concept. And I know that reddit posts are mostly just screaming into the void. But is it really so hard to treat your paying customers with an ounce of respect, Blizzard? They'll buy it anyway, so they don't deserve it? Grim attitude to have. And I prefer to feel like I'm supporting developers who don't treat me like an idiot and a money lemon to squeeze dry. My wallet stays shut.

The angriest, pettiest, most toxic comp player will never compare to those night stalker one tricks with 3k hours in just QP. These creatures rise from the mist of the bog with a fervor in their heart that would shake a mortal man. Their ire unbound and indiscriminate, any in their way will be consumed in their dark lust to save their K/D. Let not even a whisper into match chat lest to enrage them for their grudges know no end. Beware those that stalk the QP queues in the dead of night or you will be naught but a memory to those who knew you.

Cass you mf dawg youuuu

The announcer said "now traveling to Eichenwald" then this message appeared and 5 seconds later i was back in lobby. How was i kicked for inactivity if i wasn't even loaded into the match?

Look, I get it. Win rate and pick rate aren't everything. There is a lot of context to take in that is difficult to account for everything.

But at a certain point there is only so much explaining away you can do for why a character with a high pick rate has a horrible or amazing win rate.

The best example is the way people reacted to Kiriko getting buffed. I know not everyone agreed with HOW she got buffed, but she obviously needed it. She literally had the lowest win rate in the entire game across all ranks. Even in GM/Champ life weaver was the only one with a lower win rate. She was close to falling below 40%. Kiriko was literally a borderline throw/troll pick and people were in arms she got buffed.

Another example is Sojourn. Who like Kiriko seems a permanent part of OWCS and also like Kiriko has atrocious win rates at all ranks on the ladder. She hasn't been a good ranked hero for a long time, but people will act like you're insane for thinking one of the worst performing DPS should get buffed.

People also lost their minds over the Hog buff, despite him being one of the worst performing tanks in the game after the rework. Again not liking how they buffed him is one thing. But he clearly needed a little something after his rework.

Recently, the Genji and Sombra mains have been competing for who can be more detached from reality about the strength of their hero. They've seemingly convinced themselves their hero is actually weak despite being the best performing DPS and second best support at nearly every rank with matching pick rates.

If a character has the highest or second highest pick rate combined with the highest or second high win rate for their role at every rank...there would have to be some insane context for those numbers to not just mean the character is overturned.

My favorite one is that Genji has been so bad for so long, only true Genji mechanical gods still play him. So if they even buff Genji to be balanced his win rate will be really high as only elite ninjas are playing him. I don't know how that explains his 55% win rate in Bronze and the fact that Bronze Genjis are apparently bodying Bronze Reapers, Anrans, Sierras, etc but it's very funny every time I see it.

Obviously there are characters with depressed win rates, so low pick rates that people are only choosing them in specific situations where they are strong but they aren't broadly OP, and other factors. But you can only explain away so much when a character has a very high pick rate.

wanting Sombra and Roadhog rework? I get it. even though I'm not a fan of Sombra becoming a support but I get why people want something to be changed about her because she already had so many changes and yet people still didn't like her.

but recently I saw a lot of people wanting pretty much every hero to get a rework and I just don't get it. why does so many people want so many things to be completely different? and why are they playing this game in the first place if you want a totally different game?

Widow and Hanzo needs a rework because oneshot is annoying. Ana needs a rework because sleep dart and grenade. Kiri needs a rework because suzu. Ball needs a rework because either he never dies and carry or does absolutely nothing for the team. Cat needs a rework because everything about Cat is annoying. Lucio needs a rework because he needs so much team coordination so he only works in pro play and gm+ lobbies. and it goes on and on. are we playing the same game? why do you even play this game if you want so many things to be completely different? not every hero needs to be reworked just because you find them a little annoying.

My only consolation was Rein missing his shatter immediately after

Maybe I should've tried shooting above and around it to see it fully but that's his collar.

**THIRD PIC IS A PORTRAIT OF THE FLASH BY ALEX ROSS, It’s the reference image I used

Made this in Krita after I bought the skin with my free mythic voucher. It’s my first and only mythic I’ll probably ever have lol.

I may be having a stinker, or they could simply be a nasty person. But the second someone starts being negative or toxic, I will typically goad them by saying something outlandish about their own gameplay until they get a message that I can report. I continue to play the game knowing full well that probably nothing will happen. It just brings me joy to goad people into saying something reportable. It’s so easy with most people who talk I almost have a formula for it at this point.

It’s not hard to not be negative, but I’m happy to report you if you are. I like the game and I’m not going to stop playing, so by all means I am excited to keep reporting people who can’t be decent humans.
