    I would love cross over theme skins from blizzards other franchises

    I couldn't care less about Warcraft at this point but I would love to see some StarCraft skins, and stuff from their less well-known IP

    Kyle Blackthorne Reaper being the oft-repeated example

    also a D3 Barbarian Reinhardt makes sense

    oh also Nova Widowmaker

    I'm kinda legit surprised we don't have crossover skins already

    I think they're covering all the crossover stuff in Heroes of the Storm. I'd actually be kind of surprised to see anything like that in Overwatch itself.

    Yeah, it feels like they want Overwatch to be its own strong IP, rather than a clearinghouse for their other IP (like HotS is)

    The arcade machines and movie posters provide plenty of amusing crossover references for the moment.

    so like, blizzard did a Bad Jorb on torb, right?

    character wise that is

    like is it on me or is it in fact on blizzard that i find myself lumping him in with reaper and widow, that whenever he goes 'omnic rights, pah' i mentally hear him appending that with 'what about men's rights?'

    dear hackers, please make a mod that changes torb's line 'i worked hard on that' when his turret gets blown up so he instead exclaims 'feminazi stole my ice cream'

    The dude lost his arm in a war against omnics, that's why he hates them.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.

    Considering how she's always killing the medics, I vote yes.

    Is omnic discrimination offensive to some people, or is it actually super cool?

    It hits too close to actual racism that exists for most of us to be comfortable with.

    Didnt omnics also use torbs machines to kill people? Or was that just that one humam dude in that one story?

    Anyway he's not a sexist analog he's a grandpa who lived through war and is now racist analog, if he would say anything it'd be human rights but I don't think he sees human rights being eroded by equal rights he just doesn't think omnics are people

    Yes, Torb, Zarya, Junkrat, and Roadhog were all firsthand witnesses of the shit that went down during or as a result of the omnic crisis, which is where their hate and distrust come from. Zarya was a child when her hometown became a battleground, whereas Torb was worried about the possibility of a crisis to begin with, when people started adding AI to his machines.

    Still racism (I mean, Torb and Junkrat are fully on the side of what goes down in King's Row), but there's some amount of reason to it, even if ultimately they're blinded by it.

    Whatever the reasoning behind it, they should still remove Torb's King's Row line. It's just obnoxious.

    This I totally agree with, there are plenty of ways to reflect that part of torbs character without that line

    Wasn't that always his normal damage? Enough to kill a 200 hp char in a few shots?

    Edit: OH they reduced his falloff, so you're gettin the full 70 damage at longer range with range similar to soldier's.

    He's basically soldier without the self-heal (but with the stun (and a terribad burst)

    Isn't that robot a volskaya project that they're intentionally working on? I don't recall any lines about it being a threat or worry.

    I think Dva has a line where she thinks the big robot is impressive, but also that big robots aren't always better.

    Which makes sense, considering that she uses her mini mecha to fight a Kaiju robot.

    yeah, it's kind of creepy how empty the Overwatch world is.....especially Volskaya and Numbani, like it's already post-robot-apocalypse

    Correct, she also can't headshot so you must snipe from among your people and earn that kill with more than one hit
