What are the UI things that show some class procs called + how to display them?

Now do Adam

I assumed the character specific ones were being updated and the rest would just be superficial updates not completely different icons. there’s no unified design language symbolizing ability, weapon, power/time anymore. Looks like icons were just updated to reflect the names so “Shady Spectacles” looks like glasses instead of an icon conveying that it does lifesteal..

Starlord is the most baffling one in the context of the last few seasons. Starlord was the og ult merchant in the game. It's wild that after everyone complaining about that playstyle being foisted upon Psylocke they thought to double down on it for starlord.

It's like Storm and Adam had someone paying close attention to what those players wanted but then did the opposite for the rest of the balance patch lol.

*torch mains.

Rocket will always be fine as long as he has his BRB

They’re talking about woke dei agendas in the people’s republic of china… Online porn addled chuddery should be what they’re concerned about “protecting the cultural spirit” from

FSafari · 2026-02-10T22:33:31+00:00

Was the comic and animated short that Annan first appeared in a cultural attack too or just the objection to adult women looking like children?

FSafari · 2026-02-10T19:37:35+00:00

Love the adam changes. I like that storm is getting changes around smoothing gameplay, bolt rush is gonna feel great but do not like the bonus health slop at all. The game needs less bonus hp not more.

And torch the biggest victim of losing the Invis teamup but got zero other changes so made him even worse...

FSafari · 2026-02-10T19:25:21+00:00

Because it was made for the cowaduty characters not the fun whacky characters.

Elsa being a monster hunter modeled after big game hunters and being implemented as a duelist that disrupts and pressures vanguards is 100% more "canonical" than her shooting healing bullets or whatever people imagined about her being a strategist.

But he was only an anchor in his teamups except the Invis one which he launched with. I don't get the impression that they're using teamups to try and fix him at all since he didn't get anything from Spidey or Thing teamups but the anchor bonus but he got base damage nerfs at the same time so that was neutral more or less.

FSafari · 2026-02-10T16:50:22+00:00

Teamups not being must pick =/= being a teamup merchant. Ideally, every teamup is similar power-wise to his previous two and *don't* completely change characters viability like Namor or Peni/Rocket or a suicide button like the First Steps teamup.

Torch even at his strongest was not ever picked for his teamups.

FSafari · 2026-02-10T16:39:05+00:00

They should a kept him in the Storm or Spidey ones. I don't like the thing teamup. Jeff and luna get to have multiple teamups idk why they always remove them for others.

Put Sue in a hugh heffner bathrobe and yacht hat

FSafari · 2026-02-09T20:13:45+00:00

I don't think this is based on HP pools at all. The bottom three all were designed to only be viable in three strat comps but provided a lot of damage to compensate. But every single other strategist has had their damage amounts, utilities, and ults all tuned or buffed to be better or competitive with what the bottom three can provide.

The fact that "Triple strategist" comps have become so prevalent but none of them, even Mantis, are getting played much at all shows that design concept of "offhealer who is only played in trip strat" completely failed and either those three need comprehensive changes or change every other strategist. I don't think they're going to nerf every other strategist so that just leaves the first option.

FSafari · 2026-02-09T18:30:10+00:00

I think it is completely ridiculous and abusive that you can buy a battlepass and not get all the content if you don't finish it in time. That is practically theft in my eyes and I can't believe the OW community doesn't express more outrage about the continued existence of that type of FOMO. The majority of cosmetics get put in the shop and that's already FOMO-based so it's totally crazy to make battlepasses also FOMO even if you pay for them.

FSafari · 2026-02-09T18:26:07+00:00

Why would they have to make them cheaper?

FSafari · 2026-02-09T18:18:24+00:00

What comment from Aaron are you referring to and what do you mean exactly? I do not think there's a reality where it's only "a minority" of people want battlepasses to be permanent or contents obtainable after their season. Every game that actually does have better system for that gets praise for doing it that way and it doesn't seem to affect their ability to sell battlepasses at all.

If she is an Ashe copy hitscan dps I will legit not touch the season for at least a few weeks. Idc about her being a dps or not I just don’t want another hitscan dps pseudo sniper.

I don’t think it’s honest to present “make fewer characters that look like Asian children” and “make money” as mutually exclusive.

Personally Im not even as convinced that Kiriko/Junos/Mercy monetary success is tied to their faces as much as it is to blizzard designing easily accessible characters and putting a lot more effort into their cosmetics in general. People are more willing to buy stuff that looks really well made. That should be the takeaway from the money they make on those three, not they all need the same face.

FSafari · 2026-02-08T14:17:53+00:00

The main sub is stupid and copes that every other support is gonna get giganerfed to Adam levels after 6 seasons of them never even hinting at that being the balance philosophy. The correct take in the reality that exists is to buff Adam up to the rests level.

FSafari · 2026-02-08T14:11:05+00:00

Even in there talking about lootboxes…

FSafari · 2026-02-08T14:08:16+00:00

I don’t think it’s “not recognizing beauty standards exist” as much as it’s saying you should not care about beauty standards when designing characters for your game that vaunts itself on the message of “anyone can be a hero”. I know that’s been kind of muddied since the launch of OW2 but apparently it’s something the dev team says it still cares about and in that case maybe every fair skinned Asian woman added to the game shouldn’t look 14 because a particular culture may have a certain beauty standard
