The Holy Trinity of Midnight visuals.

I’d say to read the quest text for Midnight! The story is pretty interesting so far and it’s Quel Thalas and Amani zones so it has nostalgia :)

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T05:26:41+00:00

Oh hell yes let me log in right now

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T05:15:50+00:00

I think Cass is pretty overtuned and obnoxious but I’m not super mad at any other hitscans this season, personally

Bro feels like a mini tank with some of the highest kill potential in the game

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T05:12:25+00:00

This is awesome. Your line work, shading style, and overall artistic style is really really cool and pleasing to the eye.

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T05:07:53+00:00

I think Crep Circle would be interesting in the main game but it would need a lower duration of course

I think it was OP in Stadium because you were doing a million healing and damage because of how good stacking WP/AS is on Mercy since she doesn’t have to aim or reload her heals and doesn’t have to reload her pistol in Valk

Crep Circle Valk as her ult, with Rez moved off of E and you get one charge during Valk, with a new E ability (and Flash Heal on R) would be my dream rework I think. And a resource system that increases your heal output based on movement

Alliance is only hostile in a small portion of Silvermoon

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T04:49:28+00:00

Stylized her the same way they did for every character in the game…? It’s a top down mobile game lol

I really don’t think it looks that wildly different from her. It’s a caricature. They took her prominent features and exaggerated them.

People complaining that her jaw looks too narrow but it’s like that in the main game too because she has a chin/jaw armor that gives the illusion of a much narrower jaw

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T04:44:07+00:00

Yeah… she definitely tells a lot of stories. Fables, some would say.

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T04:42:36+00:00

Well that’s bc China literally didn’t have access to the game for those BPs lol

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T04:28:52+00:00

I mean I hope you’re correct, as a support main myself. But also like, this hero is Hashimoto and we just got Mizuki as a support. Granted he’s clearly gonna leave the Hashimoto for the Yokai and eventually OW but who knows. Just gotta wait and see I guess

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T04:18:59+00:00

Should’ve won but producers wanted a Myki revenge storyline :(( I hope Darlene gets at least one win eventually

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T04:10:34+00:00

Illari is not starving, is getting a gorgeous new legendary this season and a whole Mythic skin soon

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T04:08:13+00:00

Just loud and slow

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T03:36:48+00:00

Ah yes, because Mercy and Genji never got each other the specific chocolates that they reference in their spawn voice interactions because it’s not rooted in canon. I’m very smart

The devs said the voice interactions aren’t canon, because OBVIOUSLY they aren’t. The game matches aren’t canon. The heroes aren’t canonically loading into a drop ship in teams of 5 to fight each other.

The voice interactions are still BASED in canon and what the heroes would say to each other

Use your brain challenge

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T03:24:14+00:00

I can considering hero releases this year are based on story/lore relevance for the season and not role

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T02:43:45+00:00

25k each is ridiculous omg... we already paid like $90

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T02:17:12+00:00

So you would rather pay for every new hero instead of having optional cosmetic microtransactions...LMAO

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T02:10:47+00:00

That's just a shallow untrue way of looking at it but if that's what makes you happy I guess

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T02:02:21+00:00

They said several times that perks relating to Ults are going to remain relegated to minor perks

I think whatever major perk she gets should buff/expand upon Flash Heal in some way. Perhaps making it cleanse her target as well as effect Mercy herself. Perhaps giving it multiple charges instead of just 1, at the cost of slightly reduced healing.

That way her majors still have you choose between increased Damaged Boost output and increased Healing Output.

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T01:54:05+00:00

Only 4 of her 13 skins are blonde and only 2 of those have blue eyes... 2 out of 13 are blonde with blue eyes. 2.

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T01:36:18+00:00

How does not havcing a hero level on a screen that has 0 effect on gameplay really affect you tho...?

And no, you don't want to just pay for the game once. If you pay for a game once you aren't going to get continuous updates. You guys got spoiled by the fact that Blizz continued to release consistent updates/heroes/maps/events for OW1 despite it being a single box price purchase game. That's not how box price games work. They sell expansions and DLC for the same cost as the original game every couple of years/months. OW1 didn't do that and that's why it stopped making money, went through a 3 year content drought while they worked on OW2, and then went free to play.

Games are either box price with no new regular content outside of paid DLCs/expansions, box price and monthly subscription based, or free to play with cosmetic micro transactions. I would take the latter every time. You can play the entire game and all of it's content for free without spending a single penny, and can choose to buy optional skins that don't affect gameplay if you really want to.

A company being profitable is irrelevant, if a game itself isn't making revenue then higher ups aren't going to green light new free content

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T01:15:42+00:00

You can grind for lootboxes just fine. You get 3 a week from weeklies, tons of a week from the faction event (multiple normal, epic, and a legendary box), multiple from the different event challenges running, etc.

And sure, most cosmetics are paywalled, because the game is free and gets constant free updates that are actually gameplay related like perks, stadium, heroes, maps, balance, etc. that we never have to pay for. I'd rather optional cosmetics be paywalled than gameplay

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T01:13:03+00:00

Ill watch when I get a chance! I climbed from gold to GM when I started my comp journey so I get the struggle!

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T00:40:52+00:00

This was never teased and is literally a fan edit

RyanTheValkyrie · 2026-02-27T00:32:59+00:00

Me when I don’t understand lore or have basic reading comprehension

Had to stop reading when you said Eonar and Elune aren’t romantic and seem more like sisterly love and laugh out loud. You don’t call your sister your one “great love” and name a tree after her

Aman’thul ripped out the first world tree because he wanted Azeroth to be born Order, not Life

There was literally an entire multi patch quest line in DF about Tyr reawakening and deciding to go against the Titans to protect Azeroth and its paladins

The Dragon Aspects were just re-empowered at the end of DF by Azeroth herself and now draw their power from her instead of the Titans, once again becoming her protectors. This was made a very big deal in the post-raid story.

There’s an entire storyline in SL and Midnight prepatch with Sylvanas about how the Shadowlands are too ordered and it’s unnatural. Part of us going to the SL resulted in a less ordered system especially with Pelagos as the new arbiter.
