Overwatch 2 player thinks Hero redesigns muddy the pool on colour silhouette storytelling GamesRadar+ . <h1>Overwatch 2 player thinks Hero redesigns muddy the pool on colour silhouette storytelling </h1> By "For me, it only subtracts from the fundamentals" 's heroes have a brand new look, but not everyone is a fan. Since the launch of the original Overwatch in 2016, fans have grown fond of its cast of characters for their personalities and design, as well as their combat abilities. With Overwatch 2, Blizzard introduced a plethora of to evolve both the look and feel of the multiplayer shooter, including a new default outfit for each Hero. Using Mei as an example, he describes how the change from the previous "plucky ice explorer" aesthetic to the new "sci-fi lady" threads "reads more Tron than ice" and says it "eliminates so much information". Similarly, he highlights how Junkrat's new cleaned-up look doesn't exactly scream explosive maniac. "The universal direction here appears to have been, 'more busy, more minutiae, more sci-fi'. For me, it only subtracts from the fundamentals," he says. Millar also points out how the characters are now less distinctive from each other, particularly Genji and Soldier 76. "Whilst their redesigns are still different *enough*, they've brought them closer than ever," he says. "If you were colourblind and these two dudes were at a distance, it's a bit less immediately obvious from silhouette alone." The changes introduced in Overwatch 2 aren't only superficial; there are also adjustments to how heroes fight. This includes replacing some of their more individual abilities with generic moves that simply deal damage. Millar explains, "Brigitte, the 'Micro Rein' support who could shield-bash and stun those that dared get too close, reinforcing her 'reckless defender' persona, now just... does damage." Another example he gives is Sombra, whose EMP was previously used to disrupt enemies, making them easier to take out; now it simply deals damage.

Overwatch 2 bug turns Bastion into an unstoppable mortar cannon GamesRadar+

Overwatch 2 bug turns Bastion into an unstoppable mortar cannon GamesRadar+

Overwatch 2 bug turns Bastion into an unstoppable mortar cannon GamesRadar+ . <h1>Overwatch 2 bug turns Bastion into an unstoppable mortar cannon</h1> By The robot definitely didn't ask for this power A new exploit is turning Bastion's Ultimate ability into an unstoppable barrage. Over the past weekend, the Reddit post on the Overwatch 2 subreddit came to light, detailing a new bug in Blizzard's shooter. It turns out that Bastion is sometimes able to fire off his Ultimate ability until the timer runs out, instead of being automatically restricted to firing three times. Poor Bastion, he didn't ask for this supreme power.Crossplay Need to know how crossplay works so you can play with your friends on other platforms? We've got everything here in our guide. Instead, the robot now rains down death from above in the form of mortar shells, with the player given ten seconds to fire off three mortar rounds within the nearby vicinity. Now, a new bug in Overwatch 2 allows the Bastion player to fire mortar shells until the timer expires relentlessly. This is potentially devastating for a team trying to hold an objective, or locked down in a certain area of the map, as the endless mortar shells could tear through even Reinhardt's shield. Since first being posted on the Overwatch subreddit, the post above has amassed over 15,100 total upvotes, which surely must've put it squarely on Blizzard's radar - provided the dev team wasn't already aware of the error in the first place. Here's hoping Blizzard can get this exploit fixed sooner rather than later for the Overwatch 2 community.

As HamOnRye__ explains, "The higher it is, the faster and quicker the reticule to teleport appears on teammates. The lower it is, the more accurate you have to be while trying to teleport to a teammate." One fan questioned why the player had set this to 75%, while another wrote, "I put mine at 100%. Still not high enough", so you might want to play around with the setting to find what works best for you.&nbsp; Kiriko's primary fire, the Healing Ofuda, is set to toggle by default, meaning pressing the button will cause the character to throw healing cards continuously until you press it again to switch it off. "With this setting on off, a single card is thrown with a single click or multiples depending on how long you hold down left click," says HamOnRye__.
