I can't decide whats more satisfying.
Playing junkrat and launching yourself over an enemy reinhard while dropping your trap as you do, thus leaving him with an impossible choice of either turn to face you or your team,
Or watching someone try that on me as reinhard and just hitting his mine with my E before he can jump leaving him sitting infront of the big hammer dude with no way to escape.
[QUOTE=Sift;50813559]Man you guys are confusing the hell out of me. Awhile back I posted a highlight of my Symmetra going ham and killing a bunch of dudes and was told "nah that happens all the time and is frequent for Symmetra. It's nothing too special."
Now the thread is talking about how she never gets POTG and needs a buff and I'm just ???
Which one is it FP, is Symmetra a good killing class or isn't she?[/QUOTE]
I've gotten a few with her, though it still always surprises me when it happens

Fake? Maybe? Would be sweet irony though, the Russian weightlifters got banned by the IOC.

I would kill a man for that Zarya skin, please let it be real
That is probably the best Zarya skin if it's real though.

I hope the Rio map relays the spirit of Olympics 2016. I want my toxic sludge in water, extreme poverty and air that can kill you.
Now that I look at it again, who is the character on the bike? Did a new hero leak as well?
[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;50813850]Now that I look at it again, who is the character on the bike? Did a new hero leak as well?[/QUOTE]
Might be D.va
[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;50813850]Now that I look at it again, who is the character on the bike? Did a new hero leak as well?[/QUOTE]
D.Va. She is wearing a pink helmet.
I thought Junkrat already had Rio Olympics skins?

Looks like some Reaperified BMX gear.

Top bike. Reaper?

I've thought about this idea before, and thought it might be fun to share it.
Y'know how certain heroes seem to take the inspirations for their play-styles from different games?
(For example; Soldier 76 resembles Call of Duty, McRee resembles Red Dead, finally with D.va resembling Titanfall)
I thought it would be cool if there was one hero that took it's inspiration from a TYPE of game, but not a specific one.
What if there was a hero that had it's movement style and camera based off of the Gameplay from a classic-styled 3D platformer?
Odd choice of inspiration, I know, but bear with me.
I picture his appearance to be that of a small child with a baseball cap and backpack.
(A small nod to an Italian man and a certain bag packing bear, maybe?)
He would be stylised and cartoon-y to fit the theme of his inspired origins, yet made to look at a similar level of realism to the rest of the heroes, by
making it seem as though he's wearing a mascot-esque costume.
Could potentially even work as a living plush Character. That might be a bit much, however, as far as suspending disbelief goes.
His alt. skins could resemble different types of animal to create vague links with existing mascot characters. Though they'd definitely HAVE to be vague...
Copyright is a bitch.
Time for the Gameplay ideas! :
--
His passive ability would be the ability to cling onto walls/steep slopes and slide down for a brief moment, allowing you to jump in the opposite direction of the wall/slope upon pressing the jump button.
The ability to run much faster and jump much higher than other classes would be a given. He would also probably be rather small in comparison to the other heroes; Say about 3-4ft.
The goal of his increased movement capabilities and reduced size would be to make him an overall harder target to hit. The trade-off for this would be to reduce the damage output that he immediately has access to, as well
as giving him a lower amount of health.
--
His main weapon would be a dinky little wooden catapult. I imagine the damage would be similar to Mei's icicle launcher, but maybe slightly weaker and with no critical hits.
Right click could perhaps change the ammunition type to small water balloons which slow down it's target.
--
His E ability would be a ground pound. This attack is a pretty common trope for games of its type, so it only makes sense. Given that the damage has a relatively small area of effect,
it could be nicely balanced while also being his only effective means of dealing significant damage. Limited by a respectable cool down, of course.
The higher the ground pound is initiated from, the more damage/AoE it causes, allowing it to be especially lethal in certain scenarios.
--
His second ability would be to create platforms. This would be the ability that sends the camera into thirdperson. Much like how Reindhart affects the player camera whilst shielding.
When this ability is activated, a short timer is created during which you can place platforms. The platforms would place down similairly to Mei's ice wall,
except it would only be allowed to spawn slightly in front of the player, plus about half the added height of one of his jumps.
You can only then place another platform if you jump up to and stand on the last one you spawned in. The quicker you do it, the more platforms you can chain. Once the timer reaches zero,
you can no longer place platforms, and the ones you have already placed in will dissapear, placing you back into first person.
--
And finally, we get to his ult;
The ability to effectively Goomba stomp enemy heroes for a set amount of time. Instant 1 hit K.O. upon landing atop enemy heads. Pretty much writes itself, that one.
As a nice added bonus, perhaps the character could take a while to accelerate to his top speed. This would make his controls feel closer to a genuine 3D platformer, as well as creating
a greater sense of urgency to stay accelerated so that you are less vulnerable.
--
That's basically every facet covered. I came up with this idea mostly as a thought experiment to see if the idea could even work in Overwatch's FPS-oriented setting.
Feel free to dissect some of these ideas if you want. Would be cool to have some people weigh in with their thoughts.
Until I see the skins ingame, I'll remain neutral.
A bit sad they're sports themed, but at least we get Golf Daddy 76 if the art is anything like the ingame models.
I dont want spandex Reinhardt ingame beating me with his [I]sport object[/I]
