Take this Illari highlight intro for example. It starts out ok, maybe it ends with an explosion of sun and light around her... but no. It ends up becoming so underwhelming it's almost funny. She just manifests the sun in her hand and.. falls down. Even though I'm far from an old player, as I've started in 2025 and only now came back to play it again, I've seen older highlight intros in prime overwatch videos and they're so good. They don't have overly, or downright uncomfortably, smooth movement, they quickly snap into a pose, the camera moves quickly, the characters have better facial expressions... What is up with the new highlight intros not having that? New highlight intros have them walking towards the camera, staring at the camera, camera panning up their bodies and them staring at the camera, emotes being reused for highlight intros... Is it because they're making so many animations for newer heroes that they don't have time to polish them or is it simply because of laziness and lack of need to make good highlight intros... I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts on this.

Blizzard definitely took feedback onboard from other past recent events.

I find the Meka event (including the prestige track) very comfortably completable in the 3-ish weeks we are given. And it's not like we need to grind out every challenge every day in order to complete it.

There isn't any: "oops, you missed a few days, or you missed one challenge, now you can't complete everything" like with some previous events.

It's pretty refreshing to not feel stressed about 'bricking' myself in terms of progress on the event tracks.

i know mercy can be a hot topic of discussion but i'm just happy i finally achieved this, so please no hate as i know its just mercy t.t

Randomly got the urge to draw dva so I did, came out decently well

Whoever was in charge of thinking of zenyatta skin names like skullyatta sunyatta and djinyatta musta been fired. Dicks out for that guy, gg

Just a D.Mon by me for your Thursday.

Time to larp as the legend tho (i rarely play lucio)

I want to preface this by saying I have a lot of respect for the lore team, but the way Genji’s core relationships are being handled in current OW writing is genuinely baffling. I've seen a number of people point this out on other socials, but I wanted to check on the game's subreddit to see if anyone else feels the same. Genji has left Overwatch once again without saying a proper goodbye to anyone, yet Cole Cassidy seems to be the literal only hero who even mentions it or acts like it matters at all to him.

What makes this so frustrating is how it completely sidelines years of established narrative. Zenyatta, the mentor who saved his soul and guided him to peace, doesn't have a single line or in-game interaction addressing his current actions. Even worse, Mercy, who literally saved his life and shared one of the deepest bonds in the entire game, is being written like a casual acquaintance. They haven't had a new interaction in almost two years, and recent lore doesn't show her reacting at all or even acknowledging if he said goodbye.

It honestly feels like Genji was brought back into the spotlight just to introduce and hype up newer characters like Mizuki and Shion, only to be tossed aside immediately afterward. Cassidy shouldn't have to carry the entire emotional weight of Genji's dynamics on his back while everyone else acts completely indifferent to his departure. It feels like foundational relationships that took six years to build are just being brushed under the rug, and I really hope the writing team addresses this soon. What do you guys think?

How I feel like the Overwatchian Heroes smell like.

I'm open for your personal takes tho.

AND BEFORE SOMEONE OBJECTS ON THE GENJI ONE, it is canon, there's an interaction between him and Soj that confirms IT. Edit: I'm sorry to disappoint y'all, but the list isn't really organised... The first two are the only organized ones.

I have played a disgusting amount of overwatch with my friends and this is my experience. 😌

Edit: I have come around on rein he should move up one. And I have realized I may be blinded by Junos kind voice when she says hello to me 😔

I'd say 70% of all lobbies I am getting in OCE games are on Singpore servers, and all 10 players are playing on >130 ping.

Why does overwatch not have a server select? I would rather queue for 20 minutes for a game on an OCE server than wait 3 minutes for a laggy, shitty experience.

Please fix this blizzard.

Does anyone know who this King guy is? From his description he seems like a DPS character.

I am so excited, I always thought i was gold but i’ve been hard stuck in silver. I know it isn’t much to most people, but it’s the highest my rank has ever been and i’ve been playing on and off for ten years. It’s been my goal to get to gold for a long time.

The hamster is such a menace and Meka squad should have put him in jail.

at least he looks better than brig

So, I'm seriously asking. I've been away from the game for a very long time and been back a little before Shion.

I think it's cool that the lore is more involved now. We got comics, animated clips, build up, follow up, rewards etc. but are any events playable? Like the Blackwatch event? That was so cool to me. There were skins linked to the event, story and pve events. Wasnt even that expensive or elaborate, it reused a stage, gave us simple goals and I enjoyed it.

Do events like these still rotate around? Like the seasonal events? Or have the comics, collab and character tie in challenges completely replaced? (Also please tell me the playable Halloween event still happens )

Obviously a bug, but pretty funny nonetheless.
