So a lot of my friends are pestering me to get Overwatch, and having come from a heavy TF2 background, it's definitely been on my radar, just something I've held off on because of real life busyness... but just from the looking around I've done, damn if it doesn't come off as toxic in a tryhard/"get gud"/No Items Fox Only sort of way.
Stories about people getting kicked or reported just for playing Heroes that don't fit the metagame, people refusing to separate ranked play from quick play... It just seems like as a whole people take it way too damn seriously. Without being too familiar with how the matchmaking is done, it just seems like it has this over-competitive, no-fun-allowed vibe about it that TF2 only really seemed to have on the periphery.
I'm at the point in life where I just frankly don't have time to keep up with the metagame strategies or to grind like the folks that play 8 hours every night, and if that's what's going to be expected of me, then eh.

Jeff Kaplin did a brief developer video about the Year of the Dog
- Lunar New Year is 4 weeks instead of 3. - A new map based in Thailand’ll be introduced for the event. - 6 Legendary skins. Mercy and Genji getting event skins - New Highlight intro for hero.
Changes to Capture the Flag; - No ties. If there is one, Play is resumed with the flag closer to each opposing team. - Flag capture is instant but certain abilities will drop the flag so Winston’s leap’ll drop the flag. - 4 week competitive season for Capture the Flag

I could see that being the setting for the next Uprising event.

I could see that being the setting for the next Uprising event. It could actually be both and there’s a presendece for it. Orisa last year debuted in March and her model of Omnic was the final boss of Uprising. This character could debut next month so people are adjusted to them and then be a part of the Uprising team for the event.

The Overwatch blog put up an unpublished letter from Torbjörn from after the mission in Turkey which might throw a spanner into the present theory for Hero 27... t.co/0GqqxQstYn

It seems the logical option, I liked them doing a Doomfist and getting us in a different direction before pointing at the other option.

Torb and Rein combined with Support in both Armor and Healing?
I think a lot of people will like her.
This is sadly what I thought The Queen from Junkertown would be like character wise since she also has a flail, I guess we'll see if she ever gets announced.
