It's fine to only have one voice, if its a good one. Many professional voice actors fall into that category. And I think Metzen's got one good voice. The problem comes up when you try to have that guy with one voice play multiple roles in the same scene, and unfortunately WoW has that problem a lot.
Except plenty of voice actors sound the same in their roles? Not like he claims to be the greatest ever. Unless he does?
Steve Blum being a great example of a much beloved voice actor who sounds exactly the same in every single role.
Only thing is, the games he plays a part in don't frequently result in situations where Steve Blum could literally be talking to himself for the entire scene.
Ster has been making videos on certain characters and I really like this one about D.VA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJN-p8UEONg
Didn't know she had a combo and it really helped me out on how to play her
What the heck when did star switch to a new youtube channel
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.

The only time I felt like I needed to be punching more was while playing Tracer
Feels like she really wants to be punching after she burns through all her ammo to secure some kills, but I couldn't come up with a button placement for it that felt good
What the heck when did star switch to a new youtube channel
That's his backup channel, he's putting these here because he's not putting much effort into editing therm and thus he doesn't want to put them on the main channel
He talks about this in the first few videos, I think the junkrat and pharah ones

I imagine Star will put more effort into videos for his main channel round the time of open beta/launch when interest for the game is at it's highest and he can get more hits.
Yeah, I should probably move the other emotes to the side buttons so I quit hitting them on accident on the keyboard.
Waiting on lunch, then I should be around for the rest of the day to group up.
Yeah, the trick is you recognize when Blum or North are doing their Spike or Drake voices respectively but you can't tell when they're doing other voices so it's easy to reinforce that they only do that one voice as long as you don't spend time looking up everything they've voiced.
Kept a team alive as Zenyatta, then the Torbjorn, who just sat back and let his turret do all his killing, was begging for up-votes after the match. Fuck him, I voted for myself. Support gets zero love.
It seems like poor form to ask for votes. Also, do they actually do anything? Do you get more XP or something?
They're purely for e-peen. They don't even save to the player record afterwards.
They show up under stats as cards, I believe. Don't know if that's how many times you've gotten 5 votes, or just how many times people have voted for you. Anyway, love playing with people that won't even bother to type for communication purposes. At least I got play of the game as Pharah after we almost won the first round on Ilios and then got stomped out hard in round two.
Communication can be interesting. I had a game last night where no one was really communicating, but we were doing ok (we did end up losing). One guy on our team though basically was constantly on voice chat complaining about how "bad" everyone else was. It was incessant. Near the end of the game he started complaining that no one was communicating. To which everyone replied "Nah you seemed to be doing enough of that for everyone". He then called everyone cowards, which most of us found very amusing.
Some games require communication, some don't, it almost always helps, but I will say if your "communication" consists primarily of just vague complaints about how horrible the team you are on is.....please don't bother talking at all.

Give me an emote command to call out turrets, teleporters, snipers and maybe even specific heroes or hero types, as well as maybe some more general commands like directional commands and requests for aid. I would appreciate more TF2 style commands and emotes, maybe even more emote slots as well.

Well the game does automatically call them out if you see them, it's up to you to point out exactly where though. But at least it gives a general warning that they do exist.

Quick Melee
Damage decreased from 50 to 30
Cooldown decreased from 1.5 seconds to 1 second
Developer comments: Quick Melee has proven to be too strong of an ability, especially when used in combination with other attacks to increase ‘burst’ damage potential. Lowering the damage of a melee attack also allows us to lower the cooldown, making it feel more responsive when you need it.
Bastion
Tank Mode
Duration reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds
Developer comments: We like the way Bastion’s ultimate is performing, but it is lasting just a bit too long for enemies to reasonably react to it.
Genji
Health increased from 150 to 200
Shuriken
Damage reduced by 20%
Developer comments: We’ve been listening to feedback and watching data very closely on Genji, especially since we recently lowered his health. Overall that change did put him in a better place, but we want to try an alternative change by lowering his damage output instead of his survivability.
Hanzo
Scatter Arrow
Fragments will no longer be calculated as a headshot against an enemy player
Developer comments: We wanted to reduce some of the more frustrating elements of Scatter Arrow while still maintaining its overall power level.
Junkrat
RIP-Tire
Health reduced from 150 to 100
Developer comments: The recent changes to Junkrat’s RIP-Tire have helped it become more viable and have opened up new options for enemy counters. However, the health was too high, so many times it felt impossible to counter.
Mei
Endothermic Blaster
Primary Fire
Lowered time to freeze by 15%
Secondary Fire
Added damage falloff
Lowered fire rate by 15%
Developer comments: Since last patch we have seen Mei perform significantly better across the board. Even though her overall power level is in a much better place now, too much of that power is coming from her alternate fire. This change moves some of that power from her alternate fire to her primary fire.
Symmetra
Teleporter
Ultimate charge cost increased by 30%
Developer comments: Teleport was coming up so frequently that it didn’t feel rewarding to eliminate Symmetra’s Teleport Pad. This change should help reward those who hunt down the Teleport Pad while encouraging Symmetra players to find more strategic locations for deployment.
Winston
Jump Pack
Cooldown reduced from 8 seconds to 6 seconds
Developer comments: Winston’s survivability took a hit when we recently made changes to Barrier Projector. Overall, Winston being less reliant on a single ability has been good, but we’re looking at bumping his power back up in other ways. Lowering the Jump Pack cooldown allows him to use the ability as a normal engage tool while also giving him more flexibility to use it as an escape option or to continue pressuring the enemy.
Zarya
Particle Cannon
Increased the minimum damage by 25%
Developer comments: Zarya’s main strength comes from her ability to absorb damage to increase her own power. While we don’t want to undermine that core functionality, we also want to make sure she feels as though she provides a meaningful contribution in combat even at lower power levels.
Zenyatta
Discord Orb
Now removed by Immunity Effects (Mei Cryo-Freeze, Zarya Barriers, Zenyatta Transcendence)
Developer comments: Discord Orb is a powerful tool that has proven a little too difficult to deal with at times. We’re allowing for some more options to counter the ability while still maintaining its strength.
Thank god for the Genji change. A stiff breeze would fucking kill him before. At least with 200 health he has a chance now.
Also thanks for the Rip-Tire nerf, called the HP amount as being too much when they first made the changes, glad to see they rolled it back a bit, should make it less of a sure thing.

Well, D.Va Boostram + PB Shotgun + Melee is still ~90 damage, so that's still decentish.
Genji: Less damage on Shurikens w/200 HP is where I expected him to be after the first nerf, so that's good.
Junkrat: Tire now dies to a single direct Pharah rocket, which is good.
Mei: Expected changes to right-click; it's not a huge nerf to fire rate, so you can probably still get two icicles into a frozen dude. Faster time to freeze w/left click is great news.
Winston: Good, always felt like I was hammering his Jump Pack and dying to cooldown.
Zenyatta: Good niche for Zarya v Zenyatta, though of course the re-Discord speed is going to be faster than the re-shield. Still, good.
Huh I figured Mei was definitely going to eat a stronger nerf than that
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.

The Immunity Removes Discord is an interesting way to buff Zarya/nerf Discord that I really like.

First thing I do in a new FPS is map melee and push-to-talk to side buttons. Now, what to use the other four buttons for.

Side button 2: Punch!

Everyone will love you
And by "exclusively on Xbox" apparently they mean you can just watch it on the website:
this is patently untrue
I don't know but it's extra annoying because he still uploads to the first one
Indeed. Blum has a range, it's just that his gravelly badass voice is really in demand.

The melee nerf I super hate though, it's a pretty hard nerf to DVa.
