DOOMFIST RISES!

Generally speaking I don't pay much attention to the Overwatch updates. But oh my gosh this animation is so freaking cool I can't handle it.

Shame i'm on Central American Internet. I'd love to give him a try but probably wont have a fast connection until August.

I wonder when Doomfist's capture is supposed to have taken place. Tracer and Genji are in their in-game outfits rather than their Uprising Overwatch/Blackwatch uniforms. Is this pre- or post-Fall?

At the end of the Winston trailer (which takes place after the fall of Overwatch) he browses through a bunch of files and then sends a call out to Tracer, the implication being that he's getting a team back together to fight Talon.

So I think it's safe to say Tracer and Genji agreed to help Winston take down Talon, which Doomfist is a leader of (in the developer video for Doomfist they mention that Talon is run by a council of leaders that both Reaper and Doomfist are a part of).

Also I tried Doomfist briefly on the PTR. He's weird and interesting. He has a lot of movement and very high close-range burst. However unlike Tracer or Genji who can zip in or out in a flash, the fact that Doomfist has to charge up his dash makes it feel slightly more fair to play against. Managing your cooldowns with him is crucial, otherwise you'll find yourself stuck out of range with no options, and your rate of fire crippled since your ammo recharges over time. Also his jump ability is really wonky to use. It's like a shorter winston hop, but you need to aim it precisely to get the most out of it, and that's really tricky to do. I'm excited to play him on the main servers.

I gotta say, I'm more excited about the drops rebalancing. More of a support guy

Oh yeah definitely. Usually I get 2-3 duplicates per loot box, but i didn't get a single duplicate from the 5 PTR boxes I opened. Definitely a very welcome change.

Doomfist is crazy sucky (When I am playing as him against anyone else)

Doomfist is crazy broken (When anyone else is playing as him against me)

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
