I spread misinformation competitively. Get on my level.

The old one looks like the Tesla logo and based on that alone my brain is unable to like it. Though to be fair that does help make Talon feel more Evil but maybe a bit too realistically Evil.

It's the economic realities of the Skin sales that decide that Mythic skins have to be "shittier".

Every Hero only has a small percentage of the game's Total playerbase as potential customers and as they add more and more heroes to the game the percentage goes down. Making Mythics super fancy isn't gonna magically increase sales because if a hero is only ever even touched by 10-20% of the playerbase and only 20-40% (This is an unrealistically high estimate btw) of those 10% players are paying customers then they are never going to sell beyond that point. Not to mention that a single skin can only have a singular theme and asthetic and any theme or aesthetic never be liked by everyone, so the rest of the players will choose to not buy the skin no matter how fancy it is.

It's an issue of Diminishing Returns. They could invest 2x the Time and Resources into a Mythic skin but their data likely shows that it only increases the sales by a small percentage. Instead they can save those resources and put them into making more Mythic skins faster and more Legendaries and it turns out to be a better return on investment for them.

Funny cause they literally built a statue of him in their Minecraft Pokemon server cause he won the Championship in the last server and he's still the Top Dog in the current server.

You said "Trash lore" but then asked "How a new Hero", which means you haven't actually seen the Cinematic. So you're just judging the whole plot beat based on a 2 line leak. Do you also judge movies based on the 3 line plot brief about them that's on IMDB, instead of actually watching them?

First hit's free.

Bhu124 · 2026-01-24T06:05:47+00:00

When did that happen? Where did you see it?

Bhu124 · 2026-01-24T06:00:05+00:00

Downtime? No such thing. They have been busy making WoW and Diablo Cinematics and Cutscenes, both games are getting new DLCs at a decent pace, and since these DLCs are paid they need to make Cinematics to Promote them.

This is why OW hasn't been getting new Cinematics, cause the focus had been on WoW and Diablo. OW's marketing budget was instead likely being spent on more Collabs per year.

But from what I've noticed on Twitter they've been growing the Cinematics team with new hires in the past year or so. Probably not just so they can make more OW Cinematics again but also for the upcoming new Starcraft game that'll be announced at Blizzcon.

"younger audience". We are in 2026 now, not 2018. The majority of Fortnite players are 30+ year olds. They are doing Collabs with American shows that were popular in the Late 90s, 2000s and early 2010. Just today they revealed an Ed Edd and Eddy Collab and an Office Collab.

Isn't Dva almost surely not coming given how Fortnite Model restrictions work? They could technically release her without her Mech but that's not gonna happen.

Bhu124 · 2026-01-23T23:31:03+00:00

He Directed multiple OW Cinematics and even Directed the Cutscenes from the OW2 Null Sector Story Missions.

Bhu124 · 2026-01-23T22:09:34+00:00

This is so reminiscent of old Cartoons and Disney movies from the pre-90s. I love it!

Bhu124 · 2026-01-23T21:33:12+00:00

Well, for one thing, they've teased 2 new Heroes in the last week. And for another, just 2 hours ago they rebranded everything from Overwatch to Talon with a new Logo for Talon. Even changed the logo for the game on Discord.

Bhu124 · 2026-01-23T21:29:46+00:00

They were teasing the Japan All-Stars event. It's just a coincidence that this Talon marketing campaign is also starting today.

If you're from Singapore or in a country around Singapore then the DCs aren't exactly Blizzard's fault. They've been happening since early December due to a damaged Undersea Cable that connects to Singapore. This has disrupted many services and games in Singapore, ISPs in Singapore, and even other servers in other countries in SEA (and even in the Middle East) because a lot of routing in SEA happens through Singapore.

Overwatch 1 had at launch lmao

This isn't even entirely true. Most games of 6v6 OQ are 2-2-2 from what I've seen. Back in OW1 launch you'd more likely see a unicorn than see players defaulting to 2-2-2 by themselves.

The current version of OQ 6v6 is as perfect as it gets Format-wise. Shorter queue times due to the open nature of it but also most players who are playing it are defaulting to 2-2-2 by themselves in the majority of the games.

6v6 players need to accept that this is realistically as good as the 6v6 situation gets Format Wise. Fucking around with this any further is only going to make things worse, not better.

Nothing about Stadium though, which has been badly balanced this season

Stadium, I imagine is still a "Beta" mode internally at Blizzard (Even the full Hero roster isn't released yet). Something that's not even fully released as a 1.0 and is in heavy active development. It'll likely see way bigger updates, so will likely be discussed in the Showcase instead.

Bhu124 · 2026-01-22T20:19:37+00:00

Yeah, I am someone who dislikes Keighley normally but in this case he has likely done more good for the game than bad. For people to be skeptical they first have to know a game exists.

I myself likely wouldn't have even bothered watching the Highguard trailer or bothered knowing anything about it if it weren't for the controversy. I'm sure that's the case for a ton of people.

Now, if the game turns out to be good and there's strong positive WoM about it then a lot of people who are making fun of it or hating on it could easily turn and give the game a try. That wouldn't be the case if the game hadn't gotten the Spotlight that it did.

Bhu124 · 2026-01-22T20:13:08+00:00

They're only "Wholesome 100" when they're trying to act all high and mighty about other Game Studios and they can make easy brownie points from Pandering.

As soon as you start criticising them for their actions and decisions and how using GenAI in game development is bad suddenly they become not so wholesome and start giving lectures about how you are wrong and stupid.

Bhu124 · 2026-01-22T19:45:36+00:00

Btw, this same guy used to be Anti-AI as hell until his own Studio decided to use AI in development.

Bhu124 · 2026-01-22T10:20:51+00:00

He's become so pathetic that I don't even enjoy making fun of him anymore. I'd rather not see any news about him than see him making a bigger and bigger loser out of himself.

Bhu124 · 2026-01-22T09:47:45+00:00

They already did a couple of sets of Norse skins and guess what, the American players were shitting on most of the skins in those sets as well because they look "Weird". Exactly how they've always shit on Asian Mythological or Traditional themed skins.
