For many, Overwatch has changed a great deal from the game that originally captured their love. At this point, some players are stepping outside the rules of the game, and many have turned to its creative mode. One such player is working to make D.Va more dynamic than ever with a mode centered exclusively on her and her mech with one added feature: true flight.

Jeff Kaplan, director of Overwatch, confirmed in an interview that Overwatch won’t receive any new heroes until the sequel releases. However, players will still see fresh content hit the 2016 title to tide them over in the meantime, though no specifics were given. RELATED: Why the Overwatch 2 5v5 Rumor is Hard to Believe One of the definite points Kaplan outlined is that the original Overwatch won’t be seeing any new heroes hit the roster until the sequel releases- a date suggested by Blizzard to be somewhere in 2022....
Wrecking Ball is another tank-style option for Overwatch players and this one has some pretty exciting abilities to explore. Obviously rolling is going to play a major factor, but the furry fighter also brings a grappling claw, mines, and some scary quad cannons to the party.

Today Blizzard published Overwatch’s first Winter Wonderland comic, titled “Reflections.” Much like previous comics, Reflections is a canon story taking place within the game’s universe. It focuses mainly on the game’s most prominent character to be featured in marketing, Tracer, but also features Winston and looks in on what several other members of Overwatch are up to during the holidays. Not everyone’s in the happiest of places, or the happiest of moods – some aren’t even on continents where it’s winter – but each panel gives a look into a character’s life in 2076....
The Overwatch Summer Games 2019 event is bringing back all of the skins that have been featured in past Summer Games events, plus some new ones.

Better yet, players will be able to earn the American Reaper Skin as well as new skins for Mei and Reinhardt by winning games, not just relying on random loot boxes....
Both men were long-serving stalwarts in north London prior to taking on new challenges. Oxlade-Chamberlain was the first to head for the exits, as he swapped Emirates Stadium for Anfield in the summer of 2017, with the versatile midfielder having struggled to hold down a regular role under Arsene Wenger. With his contract also running down, the 24-year-old jumped at the chance to link up with Liverpool. The England international told Sky Sports on the thinking behind a £35 million transfer: “It was a really hard decision....
Jurgen Klopp’s men are eight points clear at the top through 14 games, having won 13 and drawn one. Oxlade-Chamberlain, 26, said Liverpool’s belief made everything else easier, as they prepare for the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Wednesday. “The mindset that I’m in when we go into a game is that I’m going into it with the mindset that we’re going to win. I think that’s how we all feel,” the midfielder told UK media, via The Telegraph....
When it comes to the best of the best in college football, though, both of these conferences have noticeably lagged behind during this century. Over a couple of decades, neither of these two Power 5 conferences has landed a team in more than four national championship games, and they have been outliers during the restart of college sports during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the SEC starts this weekend, and joins the ACC and Big 12 which are already in progress, the traditional Rose Bowl conferences might be on the outside looking in....
According to AndyB, Support heroes will still function largely the same in Overwatch 2, though there will be some rebalancing necessary as a result of the new team composition. When it comes to Support hero Brigitte, AndyB has said that she will no longer be able to stun enemies, with more information on the Brigitte rework coming at a later date. This one change will be a huge change for Brigitte players as it will potentially make her far less of a threat on the battlefield....
This news about a possible Sojourn nerf came via an update from a developer at Blizzard, and it could mean some substantial changes to the meta moving forward, depending on the extent of the potential nerf. In a recent blog post for Overwatch 2, Jared Neuss, Executive Producer, provided an update on Season 1, specifically talking about a patch that had been rolled out for the game.

If the developers do decide to honor this hero who can wipe out an entire enemy team in one blast, there is an artist on Reddit that has made a compelling case for D.Va.

While some may have hoped for a surprise Overwatch 2 release right after it’s announced at BlizzCon 2019, that doesn’t appear to be the case. According to Metro_OW, Blizzard is targeting 2020 for the Overwatch 2 release date at the earliest. While this is a huge release window for the game, we may actually be able to narrow it down quite a bit (though fans should still take this all with a grain of salt until Blizzard makes an official announcement)....
Season 2, the latest season of Overwatch 2, has already brought a ton of new changes and content to the mix which has done much to change the meta. Alongside the introduction of Ramattra, the game’s latest hero and first “tempo tank” whose new powers aid in both advancing on the enemy and defending positions, the season also brought along many balance changes to certain heroes including Sojourn. This was followed up more recently with the January 5 patch, which brought further tweaks to the capabilities of heroes including Junker Queen, Zarya, Brigitte, and Moira, although many players in the community feel that the game needs to fine-tune a few tank characters such as Roadhog in order to make the current meta feel less punishing....
Widowmaker is described by Blizzard as the perfect assassin (even though a brief Overwatch 2 bug said support), and the developer made sure to give the character the right tools for the job. Her customizable Widow’s Kiss gun can go from assault mode to a long-range sniper rifle, allowing the Russian assassin with a spider motif to engage from any distance. Traditionally, Widowmaker players will use the sniper rifle and grappling hook to find a good perch and provide long-range fire support for their team....

It seems that a proper reveal for the new Overwatch 2 Support hero may be next on the docket, with Blizzard teasing the hero at the end of the latest beta.

Twitter user Hayzelet pointed out that putting this sequence in a Base64 decoder actually revealed a secret message....
The Overwatch comics began back in 2016 and are a rich source of lore for fans to dig into. These stories have covered everything from McCree’s past involvement with Blackwatch to Torbjorn’s unlikely relationship with Bastion.

Previous Mercy skin concepts saw her getting a special, fan-made Valentine’s Day makeover, with the skin gaining appreciation due to just how intricately designed it was.
