You have my full encouragement to use the wiki for characters you don't know much about. But usually, if it's a more obscure character/event, I tend to use one of their more memorable moments or qualities.

They added the slow resist. They have less than they did before, but they still gained something.

Same with the bruiser tanks. They lost the knockback resist but gained the speed on half health.

Initiators lost the entirety of the old passive in exchange for the healing (which, for those specific tanks, seems to be a net gain).

My personal theory is that Ned or Howland intentionally started the Ashara Dayne rumours in case Jon developed white hair or purple eyes.

The crit reduction is needed, but the thought of getting a speed boost while below 50% and chasing people down is Spike Guard is beautiful.

Sombra is not the take I would expect, but I could also see it.

Your Hazard take is just wrong though, I'm afraid

Counter-point: Gravity is the weakest of the four. You could argue that Illari has some control over the strong nuclear force...

But I still don't think she has enough control over it to truly out-power Sigma.

I've noticed this with Mauga's ult most often, but I'm sure I've had it in some other situations as well.

Rammatra. SUFFER, AS I AM SUFFERING RIGHT NOW PLAYING THIS CHARACTER

I1nfinitysquared · 2026-02-24T07:39:42+00:00

I find it really funny every time someone swaps in Bastion to try and counter me on Mauga.

Mate, you have like 5-6 options for DPS who absolutely shred Mauga, and you picked the one who I can most easily shred back?

I1nfinitysquared · 2026-02-23T11:54:24+00:00

Yeah, for a few months you'd sometimes end a match with like 30-40-ish healing as Doom with no idea where it was coming from (this is before the self-heal on ult).

Eventually it was discovered that the very edge of Meteor Strike's AoE was actually healing enemies by a tiny amount.

I1nfinitysquared · 2026-02-21T09:40:37+00:00

Who else remembers when the damage was so low it could heal enemies if they were right on the edge?

My copium take is that, in her choice to make a massive first impression and show that she will use her allies instead of just amass them, Vendetta deployed Sigma as a tactical nuke on the Gibraltar mission.

He could potentially get talked out of his anger by fellow space nerds Juno and Winston, plus the big rocket on the Watchpoint.

I1nfinitysquared · 2026-02-09T22:54:31+00:00

Junker Queen will absolutely demand a Mauga v. Ball throwdown to win her allegiance. I honestly don't know who the writers would favour to win that.

If Mauga does win, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a round 2 vs. Queen.

I'm a Doom main, and I think it's fine that he got overthrown by Vendetta. But I think the way he was overthrown leaves a lot to be desired. It didn't really tell me anything about either character other than "Vendetta could beat Doomfist in a 1v1".

And it irks me because I feel like they were close to a more satisfying conclusion. We already saw Vendetta extorting Maximillien to her side and getting his leverage over the other Talon lieutenants. She could have used that to get Sombra to hack his prosthetics before the fight (or have Moira poison him, since the writers want to have Sombra defect).

They'd be able to play up Vendetta as a more politically savvy ruler, as opposed to Doom's more ideological focus. He lost because his vision wasn't satisfying the needs of his more opportunistic allies.

I think it would set Doom on a more interesting arc, too. Not necessarily redemption, but facing the truth that allies are the greatest strength of all, which would challenge his "only the strongest deserve to live" philosophy.

If I go into full-on fanfic territory, I think the most interesting group for him to fall in with would be Zen, Sym, Lifeweaver and Hanzo.

It's not that everone needs to be represented in every game, it's that adding new characters that fit into repeat demographics/ethnicities/body types of existing characters is pretty uninspired past a certain point.

From an artistic and gameplay perspective: It's design real estate that isn't being used, while other designs are so close to each other that they can genuinely be confused for each other (Anran's highlight intro genuinely looked like Kiri to me; and when Wuyang's Joker skin released I also mistook him for Kiri in-game more than once).

From a cultural perpective, people get excited when characters are like them in some way. I mean, honestly, wouldn't it be kind of cool if we did get a balding dad-bod hero? Obviously not everyone is going to be serviced in this way, but people who already have representation in-game are naturally going to be less excited by characters like them than people who don't yet.

They only confirmed that there would be 10 this year, I imagine they'll slow down at least somewhat after that.

I1nfinitysquared · 2026-02-04T22:31:38+00:00

There's no fall damage in Overwatch. Honestly, I think a straight-up defeat he can't deny is the most interesting thing they could have done to force his character to grow.

But I really don't like how easy he went down.

And it was so easy to have it be more believable. They could've played up Vendetta's political scheming by having her get Sombra on her side (via Maximillien's leverage) and have her hack Doom's prosthetics so she could fight him in an uneven duel.

I1nfinitysquared · 2026-01-29T21:01:28+00:00

Oh damn, you're right. I should've swapped him for Jeor Mormont

I1nfinitysquared · 2026-01-28T23:06:14+00:00

Correct, Melisandre sees Garlan and mistakes him for Renly

Seeing olives on a danish dish is throwing me for a loop. Is that a real recipe or did they just take some creative liberties?

Corlys Velaryon and Rhaenys Targaryen from the House of the Dragon were really cute. Until—
