Hammond ventrilo harrasment
The shades immediately made me think of https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/110940/9e8b2e0f-6b35-44ef-9364-7d2ccf3efb6a/James_McCloud_Star_Fox_Zero.png With the shape and lack of arms. I wonder if it's intentional. Both are space animals and Hammond's probably a dad because there's no way he doesn't slay pussy 24/7.
I really don't have a lot to say against Overwatch skin, the majority is just so well-done. Crazy.
the majority of skins in the game? I'd disagree. A lot are stupidly over-the-top with eye and artstyle destroying color choices. For this event though, yeah, these recent ones are solid.

It would look good if it weren't for the fact his head looks like a squashed watermelon
Could've been a D.VA skin, but nope, Bastion needs another Archive skin
bastion deserves all the love he gets

Dva has so many
Recolors and default skins beat legendaries almost every time for me.
These epics are giving me filler vibes.
you say "racer" i see a random zarya recolor...
This also means that they're saving Ashe's skin Butler BOB for last, because everyone loves him. Had they finished with any of the others it would've been ok, or with Junkrat/Zarya it would've had the worst reaction/start to the event.
I meant that comment in context to this update. But given the context of this tweet: https://twitter.com/FreckledMcCree/status/1117522866382176257 They actually do make sense now
Didn't... he just get one last year?
I swears Ashe really do suffers from a problems of being the underdog when Blizzard tried their best to not make Bob the most interesting part, but what did they expect? I'm still mad BOB is forever doomed to be an ultimate and not a real characters. It pisses me off that they joked about each of the characters in the cinematic as if it was funny when they perfectly know how slow they are with releasing these characters. I like Ashes but come on now, BOB deserves to be his own thing. I really get irrationally annoyed when I think back of that fact.
I think the character dynamic between Ashe and B.O.B works well (at least in theory). A lot of people, including me, give the writing theme of Overwatch a lot of crap but I think they succeed in doing one of the most difficult thing a writer can do, a silent character whose personality nevertheless shines through interactions with other people. The only problem as far as I am concerned is that since the story refuses to move forward and incorporate all available characters their introduction movie and "BAWB DO SOMETHING" will be the full extent of their characterization for the foreseeable future.
Oh for sure, I don't doubt that, really, BOB ooze personality from his metallic skin, his small bowler hat, his ripped vest and pants and his little mustach, and his relationship with Ashe is quite adorable. Apparently, he is the one who taught her a lot of what she know as her personal butler since her parent were very absent from her lives. They are tightly knit together and Ashe is lucky to have a bodyguard as loyal as BOB, althought I do wonders.. Does he have free will like Zenyatta? Since it is said that Ashe learned a lot from him, perhaps it is merely her asking him for details about history or whatever and he just browsed the internet throught his omnic head to teach her what she wanted to know about, because so far we've only seen him explicitly follow order and never straying from that path, so it makes it interesting to see an omnic with no free will. Perhaps that is one of the secret reason why he isn't his own characters? Because he does not have free will thus no reason to really fight on his own. And I feel like with him as her ultimate, we're doomed to not know much about him for a much longer time than we will get to know much about Ashe -Especially seeing how slow the team is with lore-. I kind of don't like how Ashe's and BOB first cinematic was just them jobbing to the lone McCree (The triplets and the omnic sniper were so cool, wish we had them as characters aswell!). It's just.. I'll always pray to the god that before Overwatch die, they'll decide to rework Ashe ultimate into something else and make BOB its own characters, just so I can see what would a kit would look like and play like for him. But then again, a looooot of folks would be mad because they don't have gold B.O.B anymore (Superficial skin over a characters, right?).
The other issue is Bob is probably my favorite thing that has been designed in Overwatch in a long time and I'd rather play as him than Ashe.

I WANT THAT BIKE
tracers new ultimate pulse bomb is now a regualr ability with a 30 second cool down
Ah, there has been quite a lot of effort done on this mission. But it's a temporary thing.
So if that's correct then maybe this is actually something modern Overwatch is doing which is something I guess.
It's probably just a highlight intro.
Sorry if I'm awfully out of the loop here, but default skins? Is this the first Overwatch event actually progressing the story?
Yeah, I wonder if them having default skins mean this is a "present" mission. Funny though because once it was known Winston and Genji would make the team I expceted them to get at least Epic OW skins. Oh well. Also it's cool people found the theme for the Epic skins, that doesn't change I find Junkrat's ugly and Zarya's of blue quality.
OW is at present disbanded; the first video teaser had Morrison and not S76, and it mentions the Uprising mission. But I can see why some people think it's set in the present - they all have their stock looks and Maximillien is someone who we've only seen in the present (Doomfist comic), and it does make me curious as to why they didn't decide to make Uniform skins for Genji and Winston.
