1/16/2019 0 Comments OWL is officially startingWe've made it through the first three months of this Overwatch League, and while some teams look powerful, others seem like they could use a few new bits to make them aggressive.
The window, which opened January 26, will give groups the opportunity to sign any player that isn't signed to a contract and can be eligible to play in the Overwatch League. New players added to teams will be eligible to play as early as Feb. 21, though each new player must be accepted by the Overwatch League workplace . The following window will also open soon as on Feb. 11, teams will gain the ability to trade players. Both these transfer windows will close April 3. One group has already taken advantage of this signing window by adding a new player to their roster. The Dallas Gas -- one of the league's most disappointing teams throughout the first 3 weeks -- have additional DPS player Dylan"AKM" Bignet to their roster as per a tweet in the group's owner. After coming to the league among the most highly regarded teams, the Fuel will expect that Bignet will help to turn the team around from their frustrating 1-5 start to the Overwatch League season.

12/20/2018 0 Comments BFA - Overwatch emotesPre-orders for the latest World of Warcraft expansion, Battle for Azeroth have gone live, with an anticipated release date of September. As always, the Digital Deluxe variant will confer pre-order bonuses on other Blizzard games. This season enables gamers to unlock some Starcraft II sprays, a Hearthstone card back... plus some Overwatch emotes, sprays, and voice lines.
This YouTube video shows the off new sidewalks, starting with the emotes where the poster girl of Overwatch reveals her Warcraft pride. The pre-order provides Tracer two new emotes, where she plants an Alliance or a Horde flag . (Frankly, I'd have expected her to be an Alliance player. Tracer seems like somebody with a maximum level gnome mage.) Torbjorn also has two battle yells, one"For the Horde!" In addition, some popular Warcraft characters combine Illidan and appear as sprays. If you have ever wanted to display your passion for Anduin (or Manduin, as some call his latest character model), you're in luck. The pre-order bonuses are simply the latest Blizzard themed collectibles to enter Overwatch following the release of Blizzard World and many Blizzard themed skins. 12/12/2018 0 Comments Developer update | OverwatchThe very first Developer Update for Overwatch of 2018 was all about the game plan for the coming weeks, including the next hero and the upcoming Year of the Dog occasion. Now, we have a more special Developer Update with the lovely Jeff Kaplan going in the hottest community issues that have inspired the most discussion and debate over the previous months.
Abusive conversation in live matches is now down 17%, which is not a bad number at all. Player coverage is up 20%, which may lead to those fantastic results. Kaplan refers to the procedure as"restoring faith in the machine", and hopes that things will further improve in the coming weeks. 1 way that the team is expecting to do that is by tracking social media sites like YouTube to discover in-game examples of high profile, negative behaviour and acting accordingly. The next topic is protagonist equilibrium, which is described as a balancing act between taking feedback between thousands of smaller sub divisions (while utilizing Blizzards own inner remarks and metrics). The Mercy changes currently on the PTR are called"experimentation", suggesting they will not be going live just yet, and Kaplan admits that Mercy is"the most played hero in the game" and a much-loved support. The aim is always to make Mercy viable, not to nerf her from expert play or the competitive meta. That is why Mercy is not the best champion for overwatch boosting. The following hero to obtain a larger scale rework could be Hanzo, especially since his Scatter Arrow can often feel unfair and punishing. Mei is also known as a hero who might need"slight adjustments", but the aim is to keep her as a situational enthusiast who doesn't feel oppressive to perform against. The Developer Update ends on a high note, as Kaplan notes that things feel"pretty great" right now. With Hero 27 coming and equilibrium changes in the works, hopefully its possible to get Overwatch into an even greater state. 11/29/2018 0 Comments Developer update: year of the dogJeff Kaplan dropped a Developer Update that goes into what type Year of the Dog will demand, and fans should be very happy, especially those who are considering Capture the Flag.
We're getting six mythical skins, such as ones for example and Genji, along with emphasize intros and other cosmetics. The YouTube thumbnail additionally comprises some very interesting looking Widowmaker, suggesting she has a skin to come also. The event will last for a full four weeks to allow people to log on, even though people tend to travel during the vacation , and snag new makeup and goodies. There are no longer attractions from Capture the Flag. There is now a Sudden Death mechanic to resolve close matches, moving flags close to the goals and providing the teams that the ability to swiftly cap and catch the win. Picking up the flag is currently instantaneous, but certain skills (like Winston's Leap or Zenyatta's Transcendence) will now drop the flag. This should prevent speedy flag carriers by getting up to no good, but actually results in much more frantic and fun games. Finally, there'll be a four week Capture the Flag competitive year. This year's Year of the Dog looks to be among the best event improvements thus far, and we are going to see whether Capture the Flag fans benefit from the new ruleset. In the meantime, we should all be happy with new cosmetics and a longer event timer. 10/17/2018 0 Comments OW Year of the Dog: New skinsAs stated from the recent Developer Update, there are a number of changes to the way that moving the flag works to create a more frantic (but fair) encounter, and ties have been completely gone. Players will receive access to a competitive ladder for Capture the Flag for an entire month, therefore the top flagbearers are going to have the ability to demonstrate it with a concrete metric backing their bragging rights.
We're also getting a whole new map on Ayutthaya. This Thai temple is much like the Deathmatch stadium Chateau Guillard--a more focused map made to accommodate one specific game mode. By the way, recall Orisa along with her puppy? That was the best thing ever and the highlight of the Winter Wonderland occasion? Well, Moira may not get a skin, but she receives this spray: Blizzard seems to have grown comfortable with producing new twists on old occasions, and the newly established Lunar Revel is no exception. Overwatch's Year of the Dog brings us the usual array of dazzling fresh makeup and a discount on the past year's goodies, such as those six mythical skins: |
