    The Roadhog skin weirds me out due to his sticky out belly button having something hanging from it.

    Just......No.

    I'm pretty sure I'd play Roadhog a lot more if I actually liked any of his skins.

    I bought Junkenstein, and then opened him in a box about 2 days later, getting back... 200 credits

    The Sharkbait skin continues to be the best. Junks monster looks cool too though. I got that in a loot box and in another one I got the "you want some candy?" Voice line, which I think works pretty well together.

    Random legendary skins are good for making me branch out.

    I got Lucio's hockey skin and now I like Lucio.

    I just got a fancyman McCree skin, so now I have to try him out.

    I agree, I got Safari Winston about a week ago and now I feel more compelled to play him even though he's the tank I play the least.

    Winston confounds me

    I just don't know that there is anything other than going after snipers that he does better than a Reinhardt, and really a Pharah is better for sniper killing than he is plus she has other good offensive uses

    He just seems like a jack of all tanks and I don't really find that appealing

    He's a flanking tank. He draws attention away from choke points, kills turrets and teleporters and his ult spreads the enemy team out of position.

    winston is very capable of working with your dps folk to take out healers, and he cleans up well after big burst damage

    literally nobody else is as good at initiating a team fight as Winston is

    Winston jumps in, preferably from the side or back, while the main line pushes in

    it's extremely effective and hard to deal with

    Ooh, there's an autograph session immediately following the VAs of Overwatch panel at Blizzcon.

    Gonna see if I can get them to sign the Goodie Bag In A Box for me. A gold marker should suffice, as the box is black with blue accents.

    You know I been thinking about ways to make Mercy more dynamic and in line with other supports.

    1. I think they should take another shot at that AoE heal cooldown abilty they couldn't get to work.

    2. I think it would be interesting if Mercy had the ability to blow her ult on a self revive(that only targets herself) when dead. It would still function normally while she's alive.

    The former I feel would make her hands down the best healer which I think is fair for a character that has to focus on healing.

    And the ult change would make her ult a lot more dynamic while also being a tough choice.

    I can't think of a situation where the second proposal would be a good choice. Either your team is still around and you're useless because you just used your ult, or you revive with no backup and get killed a second time.

    Edit: I do think giving Mercy an AoE heal would be a good direction. Having an option for AoE healing outside Lucio would ideally make him less mandatory, though his speed boost would still be pretty powerful. Maybe remove the healing portion from Ana's grenade as well, to keep from forcing every healer to have an AoE option to be viable.

    I think the second choice would be good in situations where both supports, or just you if solo support, goes down and the rest of your team is holding but still needs you. Which given how folks target supports is pretty common.

    Like 9 times out of 10 you wouldn't want to use it but having the option would be great.

    If Mercy is healing someone they should absorb some of the damage she takes when she gets shot

    also give mercy ice skates

    but the thing with winston is he can jump away, get a health pack, and then come back to get shot quicker, similar to a huffing roadhog

    you only get so much ult from doing 200 to mercy every thirty seconds, but doing 500 to winston/roadhog every 10 seconds? woof, that's a lotta ult

    Bastion and Tracer

    But bastion in turret mode should start to slide randomly when the ground below him is frozen, and tracer should trip when she runs on froze ground

    Everyone else should have that sweet mei synergy

    Even better, bastion should slide backwards as he fires.

    Winston can't go initiating fights against tracer by himself. He'll usually lose that.

    But he can deter her from diving, put a time limit on how long she can stay on a fight, then punish her once she tries to disengage. And he's godly at being the first one in on a team fight. Monkey needs coordination with his team but he's fantastic in his role.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    Now I want the Winter Brawl to be a big ice skating rink and having a selection of characters just race each other.

    Bastion can propel itself in turret form but takes turns badly doing so, 76 can sprint but occasionally "trips" ala Smash Bros Brawl (just randomly suffers from a McCree flashbang), Roadhog's hook is reversed to make him drag himself to others but runs really slowly.

    the best way for Winston to deal with tracer is to wait until she initiates, put a timer on her engagement, then jump on her and drop your bubble after she recalls

    No no, his Speed Boost is ratcheted up to insane levels but doesn't increase his speed, gotta use it to fuck with others.

    Edit: Basically give me Overwatch Karting with each of the Ultimates being character-specific power ups. Just tweak ones like Mercy's to make her immune to incoming attacks or boosts her other items, Ana gets their equivalent of a Star, Lucio gives himself a shield, DVa/Junkrat summons her Mech/his RIP Tire as a Blue Shell, 76 gets Triple Red Shells, Bastion becomes a Tank.
