I Understand If People Don't Like The Name Because Of What The Name Is, I Get, That's Just Your Opinion

I understand if people don't like the name because of what the name is, I get, that's just your opinion on the name itself. With that being said, if you are unhappy with the name because it was changed, I really encourage you to read this.

A BTS behind the name change, updated information about the Blizzard Entertainment scandal, and I would encourage you to read the whole Tweets.

Overwatch Events: Clown Roadhog

Alright, it's week 3 of the 2021 Halloween Event, so it's time to get the creepy skin. For the rest of the week(today - Nov. 2), you will be able to get the skin by playing enough games to get 27 points(2 pts for a win, 1 pt for a loss). Good luck, I'm going to need it...

Overwatch 2 News: Sombra and Bastion Rework

Alright! It's been a bit. I'm sorry this took so long to come out, school has been kind of rough. With that said, I thought I would just talk about my opinions on the new OW2 reworks. So, let's get into it!

Overview: Sombra is actually my favorite DPS to play, so I do really like this rework. Although, it is definitely really overpowered and will need to be nerfed a little to make sure Sombra isn't overused at the Overwatch League level of play.

Specifics: For her passive ability: I like it because it will make it easier for her to finish targets. I like that it is going to make Sombra a stronger DPS. For her EMP(ultimate): This is similar to my previous point, I like this change because it is focusing more on her damage output. I also like that they are tuning out some of her CC. For translocator: I'm glad they didn't change anything. For her hack ability: I think that this is such a cool change! I like that they are tuning down the CC, but are giving Sombra more chances to hack people. I also think that giving her wallhacks is going to be fun to play. For her stealth ability: Like her hack, I really like this change. I'm glad they are making the fade-in time faster, that's going to make escaping situations easier. I also like that she can hack while invisible, I think it fits with her character well. I hope they incorporate it into future animated shorts.

Overview: I like Bastion's rework, but not as much as I like Sombra's. I like the change to his appearance. Although, I think his ultimate is actually weaker in OW2 than it is now in OW.

Specifics: For his recon configuration: I like that they are forcing Bastion to be longer range, and I like the reduced weapon spread. I think it will make him feel like even more of a hitscan. For his sentry configuration: I think the movement speed makes sense and I think giving him unlimited ammo is cool. I like how he looks more like a real-life tank now, I am wondering how much of an effect that reduced damage will have. For his artillery configuration(ultimate): I think it's alright, it's just a reworked version of Doomfist's ultimate. I think that it is worse than his current ultimate because of how vulnerable he will be while targeting locations. For self-repair: I think that it makes sense that he is losing this ability, but I am interested to see how it changes how Bastion interacts with healers, specifically Mercy. For his tactical grenade: I think that it is cool, but I feel like it doesn't match with his character super well. It feels like more of a sci-fi weapon while Bastion has always seemed more based in reality.

Anyways, I will (hopefully) be posting about the 2021 Halloween Terror Event sometime soon. Based on the other dates when the Halloween Terror Event happened in the past, I believe that the event should start on the 11th, but we'll see what happens.

Overwatch Events: 2021 Winter Wonderland Skin Ideas

Alright, so I know that I said that I was going to cover the first issue of New Blood over last week's break, but I just wasn't able to get it done. So, I think I am going to push that off until later when I have more motivation to actually do it. I was just kind of busy over the break. My family hosted Thanksgiving this year, I have been sick for the past few days, I have a decent amount of catching up to do in terms of school work, and I have about 2 weeks of school left until the Winter break and it's just been a lot!

So, I wanted to just do something kind of simple and fun, and my brain immediately went to the upcoming Winter event(I can't believe it's already December). Now, enough of me rambling, on to the ideas! Heads up, this is kind of a long one, I didn't realize how long this would get, but oh well!

I will be referencing Master Ian Gamer's Hero's skin chart in this video for who I think should be getting Winter Wonderland skins. Watch the video if you want more information about why I picked out the heroes I did. (Also, sorry some of the images are really big. It just came out that way).

Ashe: The only winter skin Ashe has is her Epic skin, Winter. Considering Ashe got a Legendary skin during this year's Summer Games Event, I believe it is less likely that she will get a skin, but still possible. If she were to get a skin, I think it should be based on her Snowball Fight spray which I think could be an Epic or Legendary skin.

Baptiste: Baptiste has no Winter Wonderland skin. I think that he could get an Epic or Legendary skin since he doesn't have one already. I think it would be cool if he got a skin, Epic probably, but maybe Legendary based on his Snowball Fight spray.

D.Va: Like Baptiste, D.Va doesn't have a Winter Wonderland skin. I think that she should get a Legendary skin since she hasn't gotten a skin in over a year, her last skin being her 2020 Halloween Terror skin, Shin-Ryeong. I think that a Legendary skin that turns Tokki(D.Va's mech) into a sleigh would be really cool and I think that it would fit well with Maddy Jean's Festive D.Va(left/upper image, I don't know how it will look depending on the device you're using). Otherwise, an Epic skin could be based on D.Va's Ornament spray (right/lower image).

Genji: Since Genji just got an Epic skin with the Halloween Terror Event, if he got a skin, I think it would end up being a Legendary skin. Genji does not have a Winter Wonderland skin, but, like D.Va, I think a decent skin for him would be based on his ornament spray. Although, I think giving Genji a casual skin to match with Hanzo would be really cool.

Orisa: Orisa does not have a Winter Wonderland skin, but she has some of the coolest fan concepts for the Winter Wonderland Event! Kai Chang on Artstation created this amazing Reindeer Orisa concept art(left/upper) and Maddy Jean on Artstation also created her own rendition of Reindeer Orisa(right/lower). I think that both of these skins would end up being Legendarys if they were added to the game.

Wrecking Ball: Like most of the other characters on this list, Wrecking Ball does not have a Winter Wonderland skin. I think that they could make an Epic skin based on his Stocking spray(left/upper), but I also think they could make a snowball or snowglobe-themed Legendary skin. An example of a Snowglobe themed skin would be the image posted by Devygone on Reddit(right/lower).

Anyways, if you got through all of that, thanks for reading everything! I hope you all are having a good December so far. Once the 2021 Winter Wonderland Event starts, I will go through all of that stuff. I will go through issue #1 of New Blood whenever I get to it.

What skin ideas do you guys have or what skin concepts do you like? Now, have a good day or night, or whatever time it is where you are! Bye! ~ Nova

Yoooo! 150th post!

Overwatch Events: 2021 Halloween Terror Event - Draugr Reinhardt

Alright! We will be getting the Draugr Reinhardt skin during the 2021 Halloween Terror Event! Based on how detailed it looks, I think that it is going to be a legendary skin.

Overwatch Events: Winter Wonderland 2021 Skin Announcements - Orisa and Genji

Alright, sorry this is a few hours late! I was helping run a Gingerbread completion with my school's German Honor Society, so I was at school until 5:30pm which is kind of late for me since I normally get home at 3:15pm. Now, onto the news.

It was announced that we will be getting two more legendary skins! During the 2021 Winter Wonderland event, as well as Sleighing D.Va, we will be getting Reindeer Orisa and Ice Wraith Genji. I'm really happy about the Orisa skin, it's exactly what I wanted and I like the Genji skin. The Winter Wonderland event will begin on Dec. 16th, 2021, and will end on Jan. 6th, 2022.

Anyways, I'll try to keep you all as updated as I can while dealing with school and I hope you all have a great day! ~ Nova.
