Overwatch Events: 2021 Anniversary Venus Moira

Overwatch Events: 2021 Anniversary Venus Moira

We got another skin!! It is called Venus Moira as the title suggests. I think it looks really cool and is pretty fitting to her character. Also, it is much better than some of her other skins. I also find it really funny that most people on Twitter immediately went, "OMG Poison Ivy Moira!!!" I mean, they're not wrong, but I just find it pretty funny. After the previous Archives event, I am really glad that we are getting some really good-looking skins.

This Blog: An Update

I've really enjoyed writing on this blog and I am really glad a lot of other people also enjoy the content I create; thank you all for 50 followers! I started using this blog as an outlet of ideas I had after Blizzconline in February, and recently I have had a harder time coming up with really good ideas. Along with playing Overwatch, I do a lot of reading, so I am going to start a blog about reading.

I will still post on this blog, but I will also be talking about reading on my new blog. I have several ideas for this blog in the works including a mini theory about Wildebeest, a theory about the Kanezaka Fox Girl, a theory about Junkrat's treasure, I will go over the OWL matches once they start up again, and after Game Director Aaron Keller's update in a few days, I will go over all of that.

For my new blog, I am going to be posting about Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus/Trials of Apollo, The Grishaverse books(and show once I watch it), Agatha Christie, and a couple other of my favorite book series. Thank you all for supporting me, and I hope some of you like the new content I am going to be making in the future! ~ Nova

I did it and made the blog! Here's the link! I'll post about

Agatha Christie soon.

(Alright, so I am adding this just before I post it, my master lists were not working so I deleted them. I am not sure what I could use as a replacement for them, I'm going to see if I can figure something out).

My Thoughts on 5v5 in Overwatch 2

Alright, so I need to rant a little. I am going to be talking about my opinions on 5v5. But before I get into that, if you want to see a short, but good analysis of the Game Developer update, I would watch this video on it. I really liked it.

Ok! I think that 5v5 is a terrible idea, especially for Offtanks. These are some of the general problems with having only 1 tank including:

You won't truly be able to play certain comps. Rush(Rein/Zarya, Rein/D.Va), Dive(D.Va/Winston, sometime D.Va/Wrecking Ball), or Double shield(Orisa/Sigma, Orisa/Rein).

Offtank playtime will go down because it is much harder for them to play without another tank.

Streamers that Duo on tank won't be able to stream together on tank(Emongg and Flats).

Overwatch League teams will probably drop some of their tanks since they won't need two for every match meaning PEOPLE WILL LITERALLY BE LOSING THEIR JOBS!

Tanks will probably need to play more defensive to make sure they can peel for their supports.

I've seen people saying that this is going to help DPS queue times, but it's only going to make them longer since fewer people will want to play tank by themselves.

Tank players are going to need to learn all of the tanks to some extent so they can play different comps which will be annoying if you already know how to play certain Main Tanks or Offtanks.

So, I was really excited to see this update! I'm not surprised we only got to see one new look, I have a feeling they will slowly reveal the new looks which is fine by me, but 5v5 feels like a slap to the face. I have only played Overwatch for about a year and a half, but over that time I have worked hard to get better at playing tank when it comes to knowing the different comps, how to play those comps, where to play those comps, and how to work with my other tank player without ever really communicating with them(I play on the Switch, nobody uses mics ever). I'm still excited about the PvE aspect of Overwatch 2, but that is really all I am excited about.

Anyways, what are your opinions on 5v5? I'm mainly an Offtank player so I know that I'm really biased. Also, what are your opinions on the new Anniversary skin? I posted my skin rankings the other day and I want to know what you agree or disagree with. Sorry that this is really different from the usual format, I just needed to get it off my chest. I hope you all are doing good and have a great day! ~Nova

So... About the showcase...

I'm not gonna lie, I hoped more. Okay, okay. Aaron literally said "to reduce our expectations", but damn...

I'm also kinda disappointed w/ 5x5, and, goddamn... I TRULLY WAITED NEW DESIGNS FOR THE REST OF THE CHARACTERS WITH ALL MY HEART, BUT NO! NOTHING! They showed Torbjörn's new look! Only one new look!

And before you complain with me, I'll say: No need to. As Aaron said, everything is on WIP. But... Wow... I waited so freaking hyped for the live, and after it ends I was kinda...

Well, disappointed.

But, hey! I liked the gameplay in the new maps, also we have Monte Carlo confirmed. As I said, I trully waited more new things, but... Yeah. We're gonna deal with it.

No, I'm not going deal with it.

Anyways! Now I'm kinda sad and my hype kinda felt... Let's just... Wait the things go better and fully done when the game was already prepared to be released next year.

See ya with more Overwatch requests for this week!

And now, take my moodboard:

Overwatch Event: 2021 Anniversary

Alright! On Twitter, Overwatch announced the 2021 Anniversary Event is going to be starting on Tuesday, May 18th, then ending on Tuesday, June 8th. I am REALLY excited! In the trailer on Twitter, you can see that Baptiste has a new skin, Tracer has a new emote, and Brigitte has a new emote. I love the new Baptiste skin and, surprisingly, Twitter seems to also like it. I'm not totally sure what the Baptiste skin is about, but it gives me disco vibes. Now all that we need is a Symmetra skin; she hasn't gotten a legendary skin in two years.

Here's the link to the Twitter announcement if you want to check it out, and while we learn more about the new skins I will make posts about them.

Finally, if you haven't checked out my new side blog, I would appreciate it if you did so, I will be posting about books and some TV shows. My first post, which I am working on currently, will be about my favorite book series.

What's this all about?

This is my main blog. Check out my side blog where I talk about whatever's going on in my life - Link to my side blog. This blog is all about Overwatch/OW2.

The main stuff I talk about is:
