In a thread on the Battle.net forums, Overwatch Developer Geoff Goodman took to answering Brigitte related questions concerning future balance and meta implications. One of the questions asked which heroes the team were looking to make changes to after Brigitte was completely balanced and in a place where the team could step away from her.
Currently, the "dive" meta is the most popular type of strategy during competitive play, and some people think Brigitte might disrupt that. However, pros still have varying opinions on how effective she will be.
"It’s not that they’re too aggressive. Let’s say you play Ranked and it’s dive vs. dive. Most Lucio players will go frontline, jump in and try to do some flashy plays, but they can still speed your team up and still play safe. For me, if I want to go aggressive, I need to make sure that the threats to my other flex support are non-existent."
I expect my tanks to pressure their DPS or Widowmaker, but they don't and it can be frustrating. It can be so hard to do my job and compete when this happens.
"Lots of fans have been speculating on pretty much every aspect of the team even when they have no idea -- no clue -- what is really happening. I don't really like when people do that: they are calling themselves fans, but fans don't trash talk their team or sh*t all over their team."
At the time of this interview, (This interview was performed on THURSDAY FEBRUARY 22ND after Houston's win vs. London) That must have been a pretty satisfying win. Yes, it was. Losing in the Stage 1 p
The following was provided by Dallas Fuel for immediate publication (March 11, 2018) – The Dallas Fuel and tank player Félix "xQc" Lengyel announced they have mutually agreed to part ways
Today, Overwatch League officials announced today a new series of suspensions and fines. Taimou, Tairong, Silkthread, and xQc were all part of this disciplinary action, each found in violation of either the Blizzard terms of service or the OWL code of conduct.
If you visited the Overwatch League today, you were in for a surprise. Whether you knew about the promotion posted 6 days ago or not, every ticket holder who showed up this Thursday has received a commemorative Soldier: 76 figure that was originally included in the Collectors Edition version of Overwatch.
At the time of this interview, Dallas Fuel just lost 0-3 to San Francisco Shock and it didn't look close. I wanted to talk to Jonathan "HarryHook" Tejedor Rua in particular because Shock was making life a living hell for a support player. So what does a seasoned support player do when his team is getting rolled?
What other things can you conclude from the data? Thanks, Jeff Kaplan! Your decision to bring down the massive logic hammer of statistics and crush some forum posters theory helps the rest of us better understand our beloved game!
The suffering Overwatch player loathes quick match because “no one takes it seriously” while also despising competitive play because “no one takes it seriously.” There is a palpable me-against-the-world mentality that convinces them winning is less about mastery of Overwatch gameplay and more adhering to a list of rules that supposedly result in social cohesion.
I think she has the potential to make dive characters less strong. Right now, you can play dive on pretty much every map. However, all the utility she brings is just really good against that. She can protect a backline character very well and, if the dive is not able to kill a backline character, it basically means your dive will be weaker and less effective.
I wanted to know what the showmanship was all about. Whether CWoosH was amping up the crowd to soak the moment in as long as possible, or whether this was a player who was tired of being an underdog and was seizing an opportunity to rise above.
The letter Torbjörn wrote to his wife (whom at the time was pregnant with a child) is, in my opinion, the smoking gun clue that allows us to safely speculate that Brigitte Lindholm, as first seen in Reinhardt's cinematic, will be the new 27th hero to enter the game.
Compared to his Overwatch World Cup and EnVyUs days, Taimou channels a humble nature that dispurses attention instead of reveling it. Stage 1 was a turbulent time for Dallas Fuel, and no one seemed to take it harder than Taimou.
In a move that benefits LA Gladiators more than anyone, Fissure was apparently transferred due to his request for more playing time, something London Spitfire just couldn't give.
Naturally, his recent decision to join the league as DPS for Dallas Fuel made me want to follow up on this question. Is Dallas Fuel the "good team" he was waiting for?
College esports have always been a weird thing for most people to grasp. It's not quite the pro scene, but it isn't amateur either. Some collegiate pros see it as a stepping stone to enter professional play, while others are firm in continuing their non-esports related career path after graduation.
However, there is another side of the story. One that involves a blow to Chinese national pride and concerns that the Dragon's already established communication issue will be further exaggerated with the inclusion of a Korean / Chinese language barrier.
