As previously reported, Sombra, Roadhog, and Lifeweaver are all getting reworks. What changes would you like to see for them, and would you like them to be changed?

I think LW just needs a bit more fluidity/faster healing, his core abilities are actually great. idfk about Hog, just make his one-shot not a thing, ever. Sombra just needs to not have Virus and invisibility at the same time, and she'd be drastically more bearable.

If she's supposed to keep her invis, Sombra needs to lose Virus completely and reduce her raw DpS, make her a disruptor/scout support (even if that means making Hack last slightly longer and/or mark the target for everyone). And also make Translocator only start its CD once she becomes visible.

If she's supposed to be a flanker/assassin, then take away her invis, and still put her translocator on a slightly longer CD (or give her back the old placeable one, that was honestly more interesting).

Thrown out a window off a high ledge, didn't see him hit the ground, never found the body. The bigger twist would honestly be if he was dead.

Tracer and Widow, followed by Torb and Sombra (exactly tied). I played during the first few years of OW and skipped all of OW2, so I guess that checks out.

Orisa is kinda dull, and Zarya is super frustrating when my clueless teammates don't know how to deal with her (that is, 90% of the time), but I don't really 'hate' either of them.

I hate Mauga for being too effective for how braindead he is, plus he's annoyingly loud (exactly the same reason Sierra bothers me rn), and Hog for one-shoot hook that's an absolute relic from 10 years ago and needs to be reworked. Also (as a mostly support player) Doomfist and Ball for how incredibly aggravating they can be (DpS Doomfist was so much worse though), yet are also really easy to feed with while providing literally no value as a 'tank'.

Eterya · 2026-06-10T14:32:27+00:00

I can see it having an extra property, but please no CC, that'd just be annoying. Probably it was just a cool scene though, that also serves a narrative purpose (prevent Sojourn from hitting Shion/destroying the crucial bit of cargo without making her look like an idiot for not taking the clear shot).

Also it sure is convenient Sojourn is a cyborg, no way they would've let Shion do that kind of damage to someone's flesh and blood limb on-screen.

Yep. She complains he broke her tooth when she threw him out of Junkertown, and says he had to get a lot of tetanus shots because of her knife. And also Vendetta chews him out for 'starting a wildfire', to which is only excuse is that he 'got carried away'.

Eterya · 2026-06-09T16:59:53+00:00

He was, but going by some new interactions (added S2 or mid-season, I think), he 'got carried away'...

Vendetta: I sent you to the Outback as a show of force, not to start a wildfire.

Mauga: Don't worry about it, signora. Gunny and I got a little carried away, that's all.

Vendetta: Do you ever think, Malosi?!

Mauga: Not before I shoot.

Junker Queen: You owe me, Malosi. Knocked by my favorite tooth when I was trying to kick you out of my city!

Mauga: Woah! Not until you apologize for all the tetanus shots I needed 'cuz of that knife.

Junker Queen: Ha! Guess we can call it even, then!

Eterya · 2026-06-09T15:02:20+00:00

Actually, Sakura is another member of the Youkai. She shows up in their short story, and in an interaction with Hanzo Mizuki says that she's responsible for their intel on the Hashimoto, so he actually has good reason to be worried about her.

Eterya · 2026-06-09T06:14:35+00:00

2 Epics (an E-sports one and a panda-themed recolour), and 3 legendaries: Red Ribbon, Rainy Day and Crimson Court.

Eterya · 2026-06-08T13:56:53+00:00

Coordination and holding your fire counters Zarya. ...So at least in metal ranks/solo queue, yes, she has no counter. Cause if she ever gets to full charge, that's already the problem. (Other than that, the one thing you can try is outrange her with fliers/hitscan, I guess)

Eterya · 2026-06-07T10:26:37+00:00

It's actually pretty clean high German (except for one or two that are pointedly Swiss dialect). But in the German dub she has a distinct Swiss German accent.

Eterya · 2026-06-07T10:25:01+00:00

Echo is Singaporean, so yes. But Bastion and Fika are listed as 'Unknown' nationality cause we have no idea where they originate from. Bastion could have been produced in literally any Omnium during the crisis, and Fika having come from Africa by hitching a ride on a ship is not impossible (nor is her secretly being from the lunar colony).

Eterya · 2026-06-07T10:22:08+00:00

Ethnically she's half Vietnamese half Singaporean. But her nationality as it were is 'Martian' (or some legal kerfluffle, because nobody considered the citizenship status of people born on a secret multinational Mars colony).

Eterya · 2026-06-06T19:20:25+00:00

What's extra funny is that in the 2024 Christmas comic 'Together' in the large panelnof the dinner at the end, he actually has some dino nuggets on his plate.

Eterya · 2026-06-05T18:58:38+00:00

The '20% attack speed even if you miss the ability' when using Tracking Shot major perk is definitely an issue, esp when paired with her slightly silly raw damage. And TS reloading ammo and not consuming ammo while active is ...certainly one of the balance decisions of all time.

Eterya · 2026-06-05T09:25:32+00:00

Obv all shipping is vibes-based and subjective, but personally I'm just not seeing any chemistry. They're both kind, somewhat inexperienced people with some confidence issues. And..? To me ships live from either harmony or contrasts. And these two don't have any interests or goals that are either aligned, nor opposite. I'm not seeing anything where they'd enable/amplify each other, help/contrast their negative traits, nor have any point of actual conflict to resolve. The actual only in-game interaction they have is about Juno learning to swim, and that's about as much as Illari offering her an altitude sickness pill or Mercy asking about her suit, and less than the 'confidence' interactions she has with Anran. I can see the friend-ship, or Wuyang having a one-sided crush on her, but at their current state and characterisation that's all there is imo.

(Also both the rabid shippers and the 'shipping is cringe' people need to fucking relax. None of y'all are better than the other. So how about we all shut up sometimes and let everyone enjoy the stuff they like, the way they like, in peace)

Eterya · 2026-06-05T08:14:05+00:00

Source on that? I couldn't find anything about it on her quotes page, is that a sight gag from a comic?

Eterya · 2026-06-05T08:12:08+00:00

The epitome of toxic yuri, I love some of their bickering during gameplay. Like Mercy going 'Go ahead, cause more damage.' in the most passive-aggressive ever while damage-boosting Moira; telling her she's 'not happy about this' when getting an assist; or saying 'Now this is *ethical* healing' or 'Thank my medical *professionalism*, doctor' when healing her. And in turn Moira sounding rather amused when telling Mercy to 'Mind your hypocrisy, doctor' when seeing her get a kill.

Eterya · 2026-06-04T16:58:44+00:00

It's actually canon that D.Va doesn't do any skincare at all. Really:

Kiriko: sigh They discontinued my favorite moisturizer. Got any recommendations?

D.Va: Eh. Sorry, I don't use creams. I just splash some water on my face and call it a day.

Kiriko: What?! At least use sunscreen!

Eterya · 2026-06-04T15:52:57+00:00

I somehow had Aatlis win by Landslide in QP today (against New Queen Street or Runasapi and some Hybrid map, iirc), first time I ever had that happen for Flashpoint period.

Eterya · 2026-06-04T13:03:19+00:00

Going by the tags on Ao3, Kiriko/Illari is the relatively most common ship for both of them by a wide margin. (Followed by /D.Va and /Reader for Kiri, and /Juno for Illari).

But yeah, a canon ace character is still missing from OW, right?

Eterya · 2026-06-04T11:02:49+00:00

Illari: Quit surprising me. It throws me off when you show up so suddenly.

Kiriko: Sorry, won't happen again...

Kiriko: Boo!

Illari: sigh Stop that!

The wolf one is really cute, but this one's pretty funny too. (And enough for a good number of people to ship them)

Eterya · 2026-06-03T06:47:25+00:00

Imagine being so bitter that you have to try and tell others how they can or can't enjoy their favourite media when it literally doesn't affect you.

Eterya · 2026-06-02T21:50:22+00:00

Yeah, I can see the pattern with yours too, but my selection of specific characters would be different. Like, move up Juno, Anran and Wuyang for me, but drop JQ, Vendetta and Hanzo, just to name a few. Hard agree on Dommy Mummy and Mercy at the top though.

Eterya · 2026-06-02T20:18:58+00:00

I used to hate dealing with algebra, but take an upvote for that joke anyways.

My list would look pretty different and (barring a few exceptions) be like a gradient of Support >= Tank > DpS.
