I'm still lovin' Paris, so much. I don't know if it's the amount of time I've spent in it or the players I'm against or if I'm just having a Good Skill Week or something, but win or lose I'm having amazing time.
Also got another awesome Paris PotG last night. The enemy team is flanking right on attack near the mega health pack. I come in behind them, blink in, land the stick on Soldier and rewind out for a 3K. I rewind into a Rein coming straight at me swinging his hammer, so I dance around and put 3 clips into him for a 4k.
Very nice ^.^

the faces are all bad yeah, and a lot of the paint looks like it was kinda just slopped on
if those come out for ~$10 a pop or less I can understand it, any more than that and they can take a hike
This is why Nendoroids and Figmas are superior for The Discerning Adult Toy Buyer - and their price reflects it. They're legit poseable little statues of your favorite heroes. I have a Tracer Nendoroid like 1.5 feet from my head, on a shelf on my desk at work and it's hard not to glance at her without smiling.
These action figures need not be discussed in the same breath. I'll not pay $10 for a shitty reproduction of Mei, but I'll happily part with $50 for an excellent one.
Went back to play OW after some months off. First match is 4 DPS, no tank, no support.
Glad to see some things never change.
Be not the stone that seeks to break the river's course - know that you, too, are the river, and need only to flow with the current. And somewhere in this analogy we all get to the ocean and have like a DPS orgy. But I think that's just called deathmatch.

Yeah but I'd still get to futz around with them a little before picking Tracer.

If SSD Quick-Draw was ranked I'd probably be low to mid plat. My secret is a M.2 NVMe 970 Pro combined with precise knowledge of where Mei is located in the hero lineup.

I will sometimes hit the heal emote by accident when I meant "Hello" or "My ult charge is at X%" and I'll feel pretty bad, because the last thing any healer needs is even more extraneous heal request spam.
At the same time I've also had healers complain that I asked for heals even though Cryo is techically a self heal. I bite my tongue, because they probably haven't played mei so they don't understand that, if you cryo for heals, it represents a huge opportunity cost, as now you don't have cryo to ex. fake out McCree stuns.

I'll take that bet. Loser has to post a video of their proudest moments on their main. Oh the scandal - I'm not sure I could bear it, but I'm so confident in my position I'll wager nonetheless!
Oh Edit: also does anyone else think his design is very generic? He looks like a first-tier XCOM soldier someone hung a small towel on. Even for a human hero, he's pretty Standard Dude. Maybe he'll have a very distinctive silhouette like Ana...
Also should I be reading in to all that armor?

I wish they would just announce them the day they drop. I find the wait between new hero announcement and me getting my dirty mitts on it to be intolerable. Breathe. Just breathe.
Yeah I'm fine with waiting a day for him to be released on PTR, but release his damn kit info!

Ideally his primary would be shield sabotage, and his secondary ability something that makes wild spread on characters. That would be a nice new change to fuck with goats and those fake SR 76s.
If his main attack is a poison grenade, it might leave a damaging field where it hits. Not immediately lethal in the way that bullet-shooting classes are, but good when the enemy decides to hang around or cluster up in nice convenient groups of six.
Torb's ult would be a half-decent GOATS counter if it weren't an ult, y'know?
My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.
Okay let's consider this in terms of current balance. If he's a high-heal aoe healer with heal nades our only other example is Moira - who can do 70 with just her spray and over 100 with the Orb added. But Orb's on a big CD and spray needs to be sucked back.
So heal nades would have to have a med-long reload and a lower hps.
If they're toxic or throw antiheal, then they've gotta be even weaker.
Like super weak if it's antiheal. I wonder if he could like shoot areas of healing goo like Soldier's pack, but it also dmgs enemies?
Tbh I'd rather a Mercyish healer who's gotta' choose healing or damage.

This is brilliant. But wouldn't such a monster also enable a new breed of Supergoats?

I mean he's there for both, speed so that the fat goats comp can rush into the space it wants to control, and then heal as goats tells everyone else to fuck off. If it wasn't for his speed goats would just get too clobbered by spam heroes as they're moving in, and if it wasn't for his heal aura + brig's aura goats wouldn't be able to actually keep their whole team topped off.

He kind of makes me think of Erik Killmonger from Black Panther crossed with Roland from Borderlands (1)?
The implied backstory and personality even more-so than the appearance.
It's weird for him to be a grenade guy because he talks about bullets and his teaser said he was a good shot. But that's unmistakably his primary weapon with goop for ammo. Maybe it shoots bullets with a healing goop secondary?
It's very likely his gun is a combination weapon (grenade launcher and machine gun). It looks like there's a second drum magazine in front of the grenade one.
His grenade launcher could be more like the CoD variety where it shoots a fast, only slightly arcing projectile, as opposed to the Junkrat/Demoman soft lob, cartoon-ier style of weapon.

I feel like my position just got stronger - there's some sort of liquid in those rounds. Heeealing liquid.
I'd like that if it came with numbers attached instead of Jeff saying "devastating attacks" lol. I don't need your flowery prose, I need hard facts!
"His primary fire hits hard."
"How hard exactly?"
