Yeah I doubt they would release a character so soon on their launch
BUT they might tease someone a month or two out

I don't want it either - I feel like I still need time to really explore what I have already.

So far their marketing strategy is pretty brilliant. I follow their FB page and they do some really cool shout outs to indie artists, blurbs and small articles about the game counting down to launch

Sad that the Taco Bell's near me didn't carry any OW cups though. Or they were sold out as I was looking on the final day

this character art being posted seems interesting too


She's right next to Tracer - however I can't remember if this is early artwork before they finalized the designs. Could just be a scrapped concept for all we know.
No idea who that dude in the yellow is, and I assume the guy above him is early concept of Roadhog

I wouldn't mind a new hero announcement as long as it's free. Though I do agree that letting the game meta establish itself first should be better.

A compilation of stuff of this possible Sombra character.

Why does GMT confuse you so much? ;)

My issue is more about having just ended a long duration closed beta where the meta was continually adjusted and flipped based on player feedback and player data. There is no way they can achieve the same level of balance without more data. How many times did Bastion change during the closed beta? Heck.. it wasn't long ago that we saw a fundamental change to the ult meter. That's a basic system!

On the other hand... there's no inherent hero balance in Overwatch anyway.

Part of me feels like if they do jump the gun, it's because they had a beta that basically went on for half a year's time.

Maybe they're too excited after that tenure to release new content before the finished game even goes completely public.
To them it feels as though it's been out for a while?

It makes plenty of sense as marketing.

We saw significant system and character changes throughout the beta. If Blizzard feels they "nailed" the character without testing it in a significant population—well—they're probably wrong! That's how they feel about Soldier 76.. the worst design in the game.

I want an endless beta branch. CTE totally spoiled me.

I'm curious though - do you think characters like Soldier 76 will get balanced at release?

Will there be any balancing from data that was concluded after beta ended

On Soldier specifically: Nope! Soldier has changed very little throughout the closed beta. They really think he's perfect.

Meanwhile Symmetra's shields get cut in half for no reason :/

But yea... I think they'll keep tweaking things. I don't know if we'll see any tweaks based on the open beta, but I think they'll continue to make changes as the game matures. I think the open beta was more about marketing and preparing the back end for launch day.

There are loads of characters in this picture that aren't in the game.. neat.

I'm playing some DirtyBomb tonight. The little shooter that couldn't. What a game.

This is one of the more harmless trends the genre has suffered in the last decade. It's actually producing some good games that are loaded with good ideas. It's much better than the several year span where everyone was trying to emulate Call of Duty's success.

I agree that something like CTE to test new maps and heroes should be great. Heck they don't even need to make it a separate game like Battlefield 4 CTE. They just need to do a separate matchmaking to test the new stuff before releasing them on the comp and quickplay playlist.

I definitely prefer a fully forked client.. but we're not like entitled to it or anything. It's just gud support.

Yeah the hype is real

Although I'm not a huge fan of that most played characters statistic. It endorses your Soldier 76 complaint for sure
I guess they're some of the most standard throughout gaming though

He's so offensively generic. I wish he wasn't the "main character". The next short is all about Soldier. I do like when he quips "I could do this with my eyes closed" while using his aimbot. Troll more Blizzard. Implementing hacks as features is not new to the genre. It's always been a shitty idea.

I feel there's no real relationship between difficulty and reward in Overwatch. If there is.. it's probably backwards. I consider heroes like Pharah and Tracer to be on the high end of the skill spectrum. They demand more of the player but they aren't necessarily more rewarding. Not when there are heroes like Junkrat and Soldier running around. Or when Hanzo is one-shotting low HP heroes by shooting the floor (or the empty space next to them).

And then the game feeds you misinformation about your performance to top it off. YOU'RE DOING GREAT.

It's weird, because in my playtime I feel like I barely ever saw him

I don't know how Bastion isn't in the top 4 either

But it's like, generic assault, sniper, generic tank (I love Reinhardt don't get me wrong), and the standard Medic
It basically equates to any FPS which is unfortunate with so many cool characters to choose from.

Well Mercy and Reinhardt are two of the best characters in the game. They're best in class.

And there are only two snipers. I'm glad Widow beat Hanzo.

Yeah those two bother me least out of those four for sure

I just have the least interest in those two in particular because they're in every game.

At least Mercy and Reinhardt are interesting takes or spin offs on their respective archetype. Soldier 76 is certainly the biggest offender

I keep hearing that D.Va is in Soldier's animated short. I hope that's true.

I enjoy D.Va's character. She plays to win.

Edit: Soon!
