What is considered average rating?
[QUOTE=usaokay;52255242]I met one of Overwatch's writers who mainly does screenplay for the comics and cinematics. He wrote for some TV shows like Starship Troopers and Dragon Tales (huh).
I showed him [url=http://imgur.com/a/4am7A]my Tracer comic,[/url] which he wants to see in further detail. :dogwow: I did the same with a Blizzard recruiter. He suggested that I should do more Overwatch comics to get my foot in the door and apply through him.
Mainly what they suggest is to do more fan stories because those type of fans are really entrenched in the game's story.[/QUOTE]
Nice!
As long as its quality story I'm fine. But heres the thing:
The world doesn't need more heroes, it needs actual [B]L O R E[/B] to develop stuff off of. I mean the uprising thing was a god send because it actually gave us stuff to use and a decent amount of backstory for the characters.
What's up with all the hacks recently. Literally 2 out of 10 games I have a hacker, I thought blizz were cleaning it up

You know I'm curious as to how they're going to delve into Reaper's story like Jeff mentioned in that twitter Q and A video (I think it was called Overwatch Support). Reaper is one of the silliest characters in the game with his immensely hammed-up edge routine, so putting him in a comic that tries to look at his tragic side or whatever would be something I could never take seriously. I'm guessing they'll go with a straight up backstory kind of thing, with a comic that shows Gabriel Reyes back in blackwatch, because he's an actual human being that could be relatable in some way, as opposed to an (intentionally) ridiculous caricature.
[QUOTE=usaokay;52255495]Season 2 of Overwatch comics and short movies was announced, so prepare to see more development on characters.[/QUOTE]
See I want to optimistic about that but that includes things that really dont add much to the overall canon of the game.
I mean, for example, the importance of torb's 2 comics is he crippled a friend/mad scientist in a giant mech, and keeps bastion in his garage. But we don't see interactions or anything that would help show those two events in the actual game.

Honestly I would just make the "Reaper" as some sort of like bio weapon some mad scientist dude/omnics used and was stored in the HQ (for some reason) for a long time (that dumb Blizz tweet about the bio about how repaer showed up 10 years before or something idk). After Reyes was defeated and left for dead, sometime post Overwatch fight, the thing like merged with him. The thing keeps him alive with the use of bio-matter from other guys (hence the 'souls') but actively denying him death (his quote about the "curse", the smoke he becomes after being zapped by Winston in his short, etc).
Or something idk.

[QUOTE=OlegFreeman;52255293]What is considered average rating?[/QUOTE]
According to the devs as of season 3 end ~2300sr peak was average.
So around high gold.
[URL="https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20753625906"]Here's[/URL] the official post about it
[QUOTE=OlegFreeman;52255293]What is considered average rating?[/QUOTE]
That last time I remember seeing anyone from Blizzard comment on it, he said median SR was between 2300-2400.
edit: Yeah it was just above 2300 according to this guy: [url]https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20753625906[/url]

By "development" do we mean the same predictable stories? For a company about story and details Blizzard is really dropping the ball on Overwatch's writing. The animations are great in terms of visual quality, but the pacing and characters just feel stiff and flat. Same can be said about the comics, although I tend to find them lacking in quality when compared with the shorts.

not sure why, but the sight of this rein defending the wrong way made me laugh until I cried

I have a neat idea. It would be cool if we got new character select animations, like when you preview a hero on the selection screen. Examples could be like Genji polishing his sword or Widowmaker hanging upside down.

That'd be a cool thing to have in lootboxes instead of dumbass sprays no one uses outside of spawn.
Animated victory poses as rare drops too.
Something about the look of the face and eyes on this one reminds me a lot of Quiet from MGSV.

Did you guys know that the reason Widow has such bizarre body proportions is because she breathes through her ass?

I think you're getting reminded of Quiet because of the lighting/skybox/depth of field.

This is probably the best thing I've heard about Quiet tbh

3 of the top 4 voted maps are 2CP maps (Hanamura, Anubis, Volskaya), with the only exception being Oasis.

I don't know why people are surprised that Blizzard write bad stories considering Starcraft 2/ Diablo 3 and WoW all had boring stories that I could've written in a weekend.
Blizzard can make interesting worlds and fun games, but the writing behind them have been weak for well over a decade.

For me personally, it has to be a tie between Nepal/Ilios. Objectives directly next to death pits are no fun. :(

I think that concept would be better used for Soundquake.
2899 MMR. So close yet so far.

I like all of the koth maps (including oasis), I can't deal with hanamura
my favorite map is probably either dorado or lijiang tower

Oasis is worse with the pit because I'd rather just die than walk all the way back up

They should really add damage numbers just for the sake of new players, since a lot of them don't realize D.va and Reaper's guns don't do a lot of damage at long range.

The pit is great if you're any kind of flanker though because 99% of overwatch players don't look down.
