TL;DR:

  • New perk system coming to the game
  • New game mode: stadium - which seems to be moba-esque where you use coins to buy abilities
  • Announced 2 new heroes

Still no PvE,

Still no reason to have shut down the original

But but... the new era of "innovation"... by bringing back watered down versions of old stuff... including loot boxes, which ostensibly was half the reason for the Overwatch Too release. We'll be lucky if they don't find some way to add AI dlc or something at this point.

New AI DLC to analyze your games and give some tips like:

"You need to improve your aim, but keep going 🚀"

For only $9.99/month

PvE like promised or fuck right the hell off

The new hero looking a lot like Cassie from Paladins.

Things changed so much that now Ow is copying Paladins.

Nice more spicy R34 incoming

Crossbow and cape are not really that unique. Is Cassie also snow themed?

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

She has a ice bolt, explosive shot and a quick roll. The only difference in abilities is Cassie has the widow ultimate and Freja has a ability to lift upward.

It seems like Overwatch news always gets very downvoted. Is it just because people dislike Blizzard's mishandling of the game? That's hardly reason to shoot the messenger for major updates. OP hasn't endorsed anything, they just shared the news neutrally.

These changes are all super good. It's just people unable to move on from their ex and it's ok. Overwatch was one of the first multiplayer for a lot of gamers. It's understandable they felt hurt by Blizzards treatment cause they did treat them that bad. The downvotes here essentially mean, I don't want to see that shit over here. Lots of Lemmy users are quite mature and moved on from this ex.

Bring back the original. Bring back Jeff.
