[QUOTE=earthdefence;46528540]why, just cuz he's short?[/QUOTE]
no, because he is a dwarf
Is there a certain hierarchy to what enemies the Photon Projector locks on to with its beam or will it simply be the one you clicked and held onto first and never switch if you aim at another character unless they move out of range?
I can see it working much like mercy's healing staff thing.
I.e. TF2 medigun.
So is there currently an information drought?
I hope Blizzard starts releasing more info and media
[QUOTE=Mizo;46531749]no, because he is a dwarf[/QUOTE]
They prefer to be called little people.
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;46525273]pretty sure it's just pronounced torbjörn ;)[/QUOTE]
His name is Dwarf and forever will be Dwarf.
:v:
So Torbjorn is the shortest guy, right?
who is the tallest?
Judging from the wallpaper, that's Reinhardt, so far
[QUOTE=Prollgurke;46540365]Judging from the wallpaper, that's Reinhardt, so far[/QUOTE]
Pharah is pretty tall too
does anyone know when will they be announcing more heroes?
[QUOTE=Prollgurke;46540365]Judging from the wallpaper, that's Reinhardt, so far[/QUOTE]
yeah Reinardt does loot pretty huge compared to the others
[QUOTE=earthdefence;46541771]Pharah is pretty tall too[/QUOTE]
Yeah but she got heels man, Reinhardt is like a German giant.
So this just happen

I hope this tf2 comparison funk will stop when the game is released...

Me too, however, it will probably just get worse...

if this item is designed with some tf2 context and not an obvious copy, it [i]might[/i] have a likelihood to get added into the game.
For now, it isn't going to happen
What's bad about people comparing Overwatch and TF2
As bliz devs said, it is an honor, not a bad thing at all.

because every new game must not have anything similar to any other game ever created otherwise its just a copycat clone!
[QUOTE=earthdefence;46541771]Pharah is pretty tall too[/QUOTE]
Pharah isn't on the ground. You can tell because her knee plates are just above Torbjorn's head so she's slightly above the ground (1-2 feet above the ground) much like how Mercy is flying with her wings.

I highly doubt her shins are that long.

Comparisons are fine. Even though its a very different game, to deny the similarities is stipid. It's calling it a ripoff that gets my goat.

While it is a fair comparison, it'll always have a stigma of being a "rip-off" even when it is quite different.
When the game does come out you'll always have people asking "You play Overwatch? Isn't that that TF2 ripoff?" which will eventually get annoying from how often you'll hear it, if not be annoying from the get-go.
same way every mmo that comes out is called a WoW clone
also beware of fake beta emails I got one offering me to join beta for free and it had a link to a phishing website so dont fall for that just sign up through the official site
On one hand it's nice that he looks up to TF2 so much, but...
...on the other I feel he needs to clarify on the whole thing about mobility. It kinda sounded like he considers TF2 the same as CoD in terms of mobility, like you can't move for shit, you just run and gun. From what I gather Overwatch is actually worse when it comes to mobility relative to TF2 since you can't do stuff like rocketjumping/rocketsurfing, you just hold a button to fly and that's it. Some classes/heroes seem to completely lack any mobility abilities, jumping is apparently useless for the most part and there's no crouchjumping at all.
Like if he said it's more newbie-friendly, yeah, that's definitely true, rocketjumping does take some dedication to learn to use properly in combat. More mobility options? Eh... I wouldn't be surprised if there was nothing like sentry jumping for the dwarfgineer or rocket surfing as Zenyatta for instance, where engineers and medics worth their salt base their game on those concepts. Overall sounds more like a positioning/meta-based game rather than action-based, which is not a bad thing. Just contradicts what he said kinda.
