That short was awesome. Also there's a new Reinhardt skin coming on early September (presumably with other stuff and all those emotes).

Spoiler: Catchphrase!

So glad I'm sitting on 1000 coins because this skin is bonkers good.

Can't play the game because my internet, but I love watching those animated shorts. <3 So good. The Last Bastion is definitely a favorite; so gorgeous.

Seagull is insanely good.

Seagull and Talespin are my favorite Pros in the scene. I want Pharah to become meta again just to see their sick Pharah skills once again lol

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Hax.

[Hisako]

pfff, try this on for size :

Also, I'm super glad they gave Genji some nerfs. Dragonblade is absurdly difficult to shut down and he has waaaaaaaay more mobility options than most other heroes that feel less built-in and more like minor exploits.

 

[AvecAloes]

Whaaaaat is even going on there? She can carry her turrets with her gun?

 

[Cthulhu]

What I've seen is basically you can dump Junkrat's trap on a ball (or probably some other physics object), then attach other shit to that, and Symmetra's gun can apparently magically hold onto objects like that for sick tricks.

My D.Va would take a bullet for me. Mech or no mech. Best tank ever.
(Futile or not. It's the gesture that counts.)

I NEED that Zenyatta skin.

[Cthulhu]

Have you ever considered using another character?

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Never.

Really, I'm committed to pulling off his tough trophy first, but also, I mostly play with a group, so I don't need to. I might expand out from him more someday.

I love Zenny but that skin is nothing to write home about. There are some really good ones in this batch like Frankenhog and Witch Mercy. Not to mention another awesome Reinhardt skin. I'm gonna end up cycling like three legendaries on him.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

I like Zenyatta's standard look a LOT more than his legendaries (especially because of his head), so getting the coolest skeletal with glowy brain version of that skin is really all I've wanted for a long time.

[Joe]

I'm the same way. Honestly I think his default appearance is perfect. Like they did an amazing design for him. Any alteration or variation is actually less appealing. It's not about bad cosmetics, it's just the default is too good.

Also why I don't like the Soldier:76 legendaries, though some of his recolours look great.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Fucking HILARIOUS. Also a good callback to his other animation with Zenyatta chilling alone by a payload.

Spoiler: So, I got bored and wanted to know who has how many skins so here it is:

TOTALS:

11 Skins
• Mei, Winston
12 Skins
• Ana, D.Va, Genji, Hanzo, Junkrat, McCree, Roadhog, Symmetra, Torbjörn, Zenyatta
13 Skins
• Lucio, Mercy, Pharah, Reaper, Soldier: 76, Widowmaker, Zarya
14 Skins
• Bastion, Reinhardt, Tracer


EXTRAS:

Nothing
• Mei, Winston
1 Epic
• Ana, D.Va, Genji, Hanzo, McCree, Symmetra, Torbjörn, Zenyatta
1 Legendary
• Junkrat, Roadhog,
1 Legendary, 1 Epic
• Mercy, Pharah, Soldier: 76, Widowmaker
2 Legendaries
• Lucio, Reaper, Zarya,
2 Legendaries, 1 Epic
• Bastion, Reinhardt
3 Legendaries
• Tracer

So basically:

• Mei & Winston need new skins first & foremost.
• Ana, D.Va, Genji, Hanzo, McCree, Symmetra, Torbjörn, & Zenyatta could use an Event Legendary Skin.
• Junkrat & Roadhog could use an Epic Skin.
• Then everybody else could get some more stuffs, with a slight preference to Pharah, Soldier: 76, & Widowmaker, since their Legendaries are Pre-Orders and not Event ones.


• If there’s a Christmas event, I’d fully expect Mei (because Winter climate) & Torbjörn (because he looks like Santa) to be getting Legendary Skins.
• Possible skins for Winston (he needs them) & Zenyatta (Nepal is a cold climate that has potential for inspiration), though anyone can be holiday theme'd.

Also, D.Va makes a very disorganized librarian.

Looks like the Somba minigame's gone full madness: http://amomentincrime.com/

...Estableciendo conexión...
...Protocolo Sombra v1.95 iniciado...

...Transmisión finalizada - finalizando carga...
...Carga finalizada. Unidad Bastion E-54 comprometida...

...Terminando conexión...

Also, there's some odd static (apparently of 76) at the start of Bastion's reconfiguring video now.

Fingers crossed that this finally wraps up, because it's been drawn out for so, SO long. Here's a live Reddit Thrad for anyone wanting to check it out: https://www.reddit.com/live/xsa5su4rjmp0

Spoiler: The general sentiment seems to be:

^Actually something happened, it just took a while to find it.
Thanks to massive Reddit post.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/58bimb/bastion_dorado_sombra_beeps/

Hopefully this summary will explain where we're at with this at the time of this comment.
-The beeps were morse code which was eventually converted to a website, lumerico.mx
-The website is the site for the company at the end of the El Dorado map
-On the site is a phone number. Calling the number gives you a message that calls out numbers, which translate to TAKECONTROL
-Going to lumeric.mx/TAKECONTROL/index.html gives an entirely new Sombra hint. Image here.
-There is a login page at https://lumerico.mx/login? which people are trying to get into using the hint above
-We're IN! Username: GFlores Password: g#fNwP5qJ Poke around and you can read GFlores's emails....
-The password was decoded along with a message from Sombra to take down the president of the company. She supplied the employee login info.
-New Login! Username: GPortero Password: Xy@4+Bkuqd<53uJ for the president's email. People got the password for the president from the presidential-bypass page mentioned in emails.
-New Email From Sombra came to the president's inbox for us. It says she needs more time for the next "protocol group", so wait a week. She will leak the president's emails to the "public" in the meantime.
-"Stay tuned early next week" This appears to be the end until next week.

In other news:

This sounds AWESOME. Personally, I'm hoping that this means that we'll actually have a chance to get rid of Zenyatta's Secondary fire, and replace it with something that has more/better utility. The charge shot has use, but it's very niche compared to just about anyone else's.
