Just not gonna play OW2 until the hero lock bug is fixed. Most infuriating bug I've ever seen in the game... using all of the heroes in the pool for 5 years and then having them all locked is so triggering.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and again: trans rights are human rights. Trans people are people. It’s not a revolutionary idea, it’s obvious. Human dignity comes first.

Remove Sojourn’s railgun headshot. She’ll need compensatory buffs elsewhere, and I think leaving the ability to headshot during Overclock would be fine, but no movement penalty 1 shots are too strong in high level play.

So many emotions. I shed some tears after the match, but I couldn't help but grin and laugh while I did. I'm so proud of how far we have come... overcoming obstacles, doubt, and frustration along the way. I'll never forget this season. 😭💚

White supremacy should have NO safe harbor... that the sitting president can't agree to this is pretty scary to me.

Nonstandard competition desks (who plays with a curved desk?) and players easily close enough to hear each other’s comms especially between rounds. We were told this morning that nothing is going to be changed or fixed.

Thanks to everyone who reached out to offer me support... I’m doing fine, just had an emotional response to a rough series. 😔 Luckily, I have great teammates around to pick me up when I’m down. I’ll be ready to #AnteUp again.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone. Obviously, my birthday is not the important event of the day. I'm inspired by those who are willing to take a personal risk to stand up for their values. In solidarity, I'm donating $1000 each to two great causes (info below)

Overwatch 2 thoughts; 5v5 is a massive change… every player is individually more important. In OW1, Tanks are the most important role because they control the nature of teamfights. After 5+ years, there were only 3 fundamental strategies: Dive, Rush, and Poke. 1/x

I was so nervous translating Korean on broadcast for the first time. I made some mistakes, but thanks to @PELICAN_OW I managed to get through it. 방성에 한국어로 예기하기 해번적 없으니까 오늘 진짜 부끄러웠어요. 제가 실수 했어더 페리간 대문에 할수있어요.

Today, the rights of women in this country were abridged. A poison seed bears poison fruit. What will they come for next? The freedom to marry the person you love?

NFTs and Crypto broadly might have some genuine use cases, but it's pretty hard to defend using 0.5-1% of global energy consumption to create speculative assets.

You've proven all that there is to prove as a professional player, truly one of the GOATS of OW. It's insane to see how far you have come since we first met and what a bright future you have ahead. GL next man I'm sure you will kill it, keep following your heart.

How can people say there is equal enforcement of laws in this country... look at the response to Black Lives Matter and the contrast couldn't be starker. We need justice to heal these wounds or our republic will be permanently damaged.

Heartbreaking news today... wishing the best for anyone affected by the events in Jacksonville. The mass shooting epidemic in the US is multifaceted, but anyone ignoring the massive role of assault weapons in scaling up these tragedies is blinding themselves.

5v5 Overwatch (esports) Thoughts: esport will be visually much simpler for fans most esports are 5v5 so live events will be easier brutal for pro/aspiring tanks - reality is half of them will get cut

The real Mercy change we need is putting damage boosted in the match scoreboard as Mercy’s damage.

Just chiming in to say that blocking ppl on social media is a perfectly normal response to trolling. Just like fans can hate if they want to, players can and should block it out.

I feel like I've come full circle on Overwatch. Even without new content, the fundamentals of the game are so unique and impossible to master that I know I'll keep coming back. Excited for OW2 but finding acceptance of what we have now.

With all that said, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ACTIVISION/BLIZZARD MAKE MULTIPLAYER FREE TO PLAY F2P, creator codes, in-game tournaments, etc would all capitalize on the broader shift to make the game more accessible. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. 10/10
