Overwatch may be an elite task force with the sole purpose of destroying killer robots, but Overwatch as a FPS Game Ranking Tips has always had a message of inclusiveness with it's global cast of heroes. Which is why it seems a little problematic that Pharah's Raindancer and Thunderbird skins allude to the cultures of certain Native American tribes, in name and design, though she is explicitly Egyptian. She is the daughter of Ana, who is also Egyptian, and was formerly enlisted in the Egyptian Army where she held the rank of Security Officer. With so much attention given to backstory and especially to the linguistic verisimilitude of the voice actors, it's difficult to pinpoint why these skins exist. Many Native American players have called for an easy solution: Give us a Native American hero. This might actually be Overwatch 's intentions, or a brilliantly crafted retcon, because Reinhardt is not stated as Pharah's father despite his romantic history with Ana. Perhaps we will get a Native American hero when Pharah's real father is revea

And Tracer isn't the only Overwatch character to make it into Heroes of the Storm. Russian weightlifter and particle cannon wielding badass Zarya was the second character to be added to the mix, with a third -- audio medic Lúcio -- being announced recently. It's likely that they won't be the last, either, with many rumblings of South Korean Starcraft champion D.Va (complete with mech suit) making an appearance in the future. Surely Reinhardt is the next logical cho

With history like that, it's not hard to see why the usually sunny and positive Tracer has a few problems with Mrs. Lacroix. Even if a player was unaware of the short, they may have been able to guess something was sour between the two thanks to some of the game's character interactions. Whilst idle in spawn, some characters will chat with each other, and the content ranges from goofy to informative. If Tracer and Widowmaker are on the same team, there's a chance the two will badmouth each other, with Widowmaker calling Tracer an "annoyance" and Tracer expressing her distaste at having to cooperate with her ri

Overwatch is available now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC - the full patch notes for the game's latest update in the PTR can be found below. Once approved and finalized in the PTR, the patch will then roll out to final release on PC and conso


Healing boost on allies has been decreased by 50%



**Developer Comments: ** The healing boost from Ana’s Biotic Grenade was providing too much healing, especially when used on targets with large health po


If you talk to players who queue up in Competitive Mode, they all agree to hate one thing: Leavers . But when you delve further into that topic, the conversation gets skewed, and people start talking about accountability. There seems to be two main camps, those that want to make it easier to rejoin a match once you've been disconnected, and those that want to increase the penalty for leaving a competitive match. The problem with leavers is that they force the remaining players to continue the match with five players versus six. Even if for a small amount of time, this can have drastic effects on the outcome of the game. So though a minority of players feel like they shouldn't be punished for disconnecting, most other players agree that maybe they shouldn't be playing Competitive Mode in the first place with a shoddy connection. In the end, it's a team game, and can seem rather unfair when a teammate lea


Built as a first step towards humanity's renewed exploration of space, the Horizon Lunar Colony’s goal was to examine the effects of prolonged extraterrestrial habitation—on human and ape alike. The scientists’ research proved incredibly promising...until, suddenly, all contact and communications with the base were l


**Developer Comments: ** D.Va’s armor often made her feel like she had no weaknesses, even against heroes that are often effective against bigger targets (like Reaper). The changes to her Fusion Cannons will result in a small overall decrease in damage, but they should feel more consistent


Blizzard promised us new maps in 2017, and boy did they deliver! The new king-of-the-hill map Oasis was released just three days into the new year. Now that's what you call making good on a promise. With 362 more days in the year, though, Overwatch players are wondering what else may be in the works for the development team. Oasis comes chock-full of backstory as a technologically advanced utopia society, founded by eight of the world's leading scientists. Despite having killer traffic (watch out, the cars will knock you off the map!) and boasting an amazing elevator of death, the three Oasis maps are actually quite symmetrical and seemingly basic. King-of-the-hill maps are fun, but players are also hoping to see more payload or multiple objective maps in the future. And although a flashy story is nice, fans also want to see more of the places they've already seen in Overwatch 's digital shorts and comics. Can we build upon the lore a little more before expanding the unive
