Another recent new addition to Overwatch is the Workshop, which allows players to experiment with the game and create their own custom modes. It was creative engines like this that led to games like DOTA and Battle Chess in the original Warcraft III, and players are already creating new game modes and ideas with it. One creation, by Andy Bohan, has taken Echo’s power of putting multiple hero powers into one hero to a completely new level....

After a slow start to their Hundred campaign, the Oval Invincibles stormed into winning ways with two convincing performances. Although their bowling unit has come up with the goods, the Invincibles batters are yet to strike a chord with consistency. The Southern Brave, meanwhile, have lost their way a bit after making quick work of Welsh Fire in their opening fixture. Like the Invincibles, the Southern Brave will also want their batters to fire in unison with a lot riding on their opening duo of James Vince and Quinton de Kock....

Compared to the competition over at PlayStation and Nintendo, Xbox users don’t have many exclusive IPs available only to those who purchased the popular Microsoft console.

But having returned to training, Oxlade-Chamberlain will feature for Neil Critchley’s reserve side this week....

The clip from user caiolima_ on Reddit shows player CaueMoira’s play of the game on the map King’s Row. In the Quick Play game, Sigma is lifted by an enemy Mei’s poorly-timed ‘Ice Wall,’ which allows him to help his Orisa contest the point from behind both her shield and his own.

Specifically, armor is being nerfed so that it will provide -3 damage reduction instead of -5. That’s a 40% nerf to the overall defense that armor offers, which is significant if you put it lightly. The ramifications for characters including D.Va, Orisa, Reinhardt, and Brigitte will be dramatic. Considering these characters’ current high rankings in the competitive meta of Overwatch, the change could result in a huge competitive shakeup....

However, these announcements don’t pertain to playable characters in the new PvE mode. Notably, these three heroes aren’t part of the official Retribution trailer, which follows McCree, Moira, Genji, and Reaper as they attempt a desperate escape from the clutches of the mercenary group, Talon....

Reinhardt has been one of the most consistently good heroes throughout Overwatch’s lifespan. In early stages of the meta he dominated as a protector with incredible amounts of shield health who could also decide to surprise poking enemies with a Fire Strike to the face.

The landscape of the novels was equally bleak. Forests and owls and bears did not repose or breathe or sleep peacefully, as they did in the works of the romantic poets Faulkner loved. In his writings, they surged, swooped, roared, materialized suddenly, vanished and were never quite at rest, even after death. It was a place where “niggers” named Jesus lurked with razor blades at twilight, where inebriated eyes flowed like the syrupy whites of eggs and where women screamed soundlessly, their mouths like charcoal holes....

Wenger is out of contract at the end of the season and is coming under intense pressure to leave from some sections of the Gunners’ support.
