What’s crazier than Juno and Venture getting no skins and Ram having no BP skins since October is that D.Va has got no BP skins since Season 1 almost 2 years ago and Brig has got no BP skins since release.
@@PixelRory ah that’s true. I love playing Brig, but yeah, that skin was not very good. I didn’t really care for most Mirrorwatch skins aside from the Talon turned OW skins, and even those were too simple for me to even want to get the BP.
I don't fully get the excuse about "Oh, we want the BP to be bought by everyone, so it's not ALL themed to the BP theme." Like, then spread your themes a little bit more? There's no Cleopatra skin, there's no sarcophagus skin, there's no Explorer/Archaeologist skin, etc. why bother theming them if only about 33% of the skins in total (including recolors) get themed? Edit: You know it’s bad when Pixel Gun 3D, a dying mobile game, got an Egypt season BP with more Egypt skins than this entire season of OW. Cursed Pharaoh, Cat Cult Follower, Awakened Mummy, Pyramid Guard, Pyramid Builder, Scarab Priest, Anubis, Khepri, and Ra. OW2 Has Thoth, Apep, Mummy, and Bast in the BP, Aset, Nefertari, Tomb Walker (reskin) and Anubis in the shops
Im upset seeing all new heroes lacking epic and legendary skins ON RELEASE Like, devs, sure, keep blasting old skins recolors, but please, a BIT of effort?
11:40 There was nothing wrong with two CP. Honestly it gave characters like torb and sym a more prominent role on those maps. We have less shields which was a major issue besides lamp and brig. 8cp is a snore honestly
i was feeling defeated going into this season as someone who really likes ramattra but on day 1 my hanzo duo was having the most fun he's had since season 8 and that joy was infectious enough to make me feel optimistic towards this season. then i saw that poseidon recolour and WOOO CRUMBS
As a mercy main I 100% agree with your thoughts on her, I have no idea why they thought it’d be a good idea to buff her damage boost. The healing buff is great and makes her feel so much better. But I’m worried they’re gonna end up nerfing it, because they love doing one good buff and one awful one, and then reverting the good one for some reason. I don’t like clash and I think most of the skins (both BP and shop) are painfully mid this season tbh. I agree Ram and Venture deserved skins, like why are we giving Mercy TWO skins (one of which is a recolor of her most hated skin) and Kiriko one when they get new skins every season??? I do really like Juno though, I’m gonna end up playing her a lot
With Rammatra getting nothing but a victory pose this season, my guess is that next season's mythic skin will be Evil Sorcerer Rammatra (please Blizzard!)
Shame to see the mismatch of skins to characters this season and the clash of themes going on between them, doesn't give the feeling that they had a big focus this season and more so that Blizzard threw their hands up and just went and made whatever they thought would sell best. They're good skins sure but there's definitely other heroes that need some love and Venture has honestly been forgotten at this point man. Love the vid btw keep it going 👍
For how greedy blizzard is, it's weird that "the new hero" doesn't get a BP skin in ther first season, lifeweaver got a skin on tear 40( 30 or 50 idk), why not Venture or Juno? :( also no Venture skins?!
I love juno she is incredibly fun to play and adds a new unique way to play at least to me but after the changes at the start of this season I feel as tho im not doing anything like im constantly doing dmg and healing my team and using my ring to speed my team in and out but they I check my stats and im barely scratching 2k on either dmg or healing and it feels as though I have no impact its very upsetting. And I don't know if its just me.
I’ve also noticed that since Venture, we haven’t been getting anymore cute/pixel sprays. I know I’m probably in the minority but I like having the goal to pursue these character challenges and to see them gone is kinda sad. Just another forgotten piece of a once fantastic game.
what hurts the most is being sad that pharah didn't get a skin and even in the video about how people should have gotten skins she is forgotten. The pain is endless
Played two maps of Hanaoka, hated every single moment of it. Won the last team fight three damn times, but couldn't cap because they kept pushing back into our hold because their spawn was super close by. The sombra and Reaper ran into our backline, and we manage to push them back, but they continue to wear down our resources, again and again and again and again. Actually miserable, because guess what? I'm not GM. I'm not going to perfectly execute a thousand times in a row and then somehow magically hold the last point. Also, mad props for the LOR music. Based.
As a LW player, I’m not crazy for the platform changes. In my experience it’s caused me a lot of deaths because of how squishy the petal is. It will get destroyed before it even reaches max height
Clash feels odd to me. The last point is next to impossible to capture, I had a game where the enemy had a support leave and we still couldn’t break through. This isn’t an awful design on its own, but the last objective giving the defenders a point feels so bad because of it. Most of my games have ended on the same side that lost the first fight, one team getting dominated in most fights, but the score looks more like 5-3/4 than 5-1/0. The maps are fun to me, but it takes a lot for me to hate a map (I never had an issue with Colosseo for example).
Honestly, I didn't care who got the Egyptian mythic, though it does fit Reaper better given he shares a similar theme of death alongside Anubis, and given Ram's personality and how he only wants peace, it clashes with Anubis as a whole _(regardless of the context of the Egyptian god or the God AI program)_ and really fits Thoth better, especially if you look up the God AI Thoth in the lore. In my opinion the skin Ram got last season is God-Tier like his Posedion skin *_(and before anyone asks, I am a TF Fan who adored the collab.)_*. also, I hear the reason for _"Ram's initial concept was based on Anubis so he should get the mythic,"_ when in my opinion it's a little stupid and overdone, a hero's initial concept shouldn't solely dictate what skin they should have, like Ashe got they mythic last season that made her look like Power Rangers' Rita Repulsa, despite her not even being based on that character. I understand the disappointment, but it is a little overkill, especially since they fucking cooked with the Anubis mythic. Skin-wise, the Egyptian skins of the actual gods are the ones I li,ke and gonna get so that's fine with me. Also, I'm not mad about Venture not getting a skin this season or Ramattra, or even Juno. I love the characters but I'm not gonna throw a temper tantrum because they didn't get a skin in a season. I play enough of the roster to have my skin needs satisfied every season. Plus Kiri and Mercy are the money makers regarding skins so I get that they print money so we can get the cool shit, I'm a TF fan, Bumblebee was basically the Transformers Kiriko/Mercy since 2007, and the money his toys made gave us the fans of the cool toys wanted. so yes I do agree Kiri gets a lot of skins and it should be brought back, but I get it gives them money. Patch-wise, I was fine or neutral on everything, I love the Lifeweaver changes and hate the Sombra speed change she's too tyrannical now in my opinion. Regarding Clash, I wish it wasn'ta steamroll simulator 80% of the time if your team's the steamroll-ee and not the steamroller.
I'll be honest im a new player season twelve is my first season in overwatch, but it's already obvious that clash is the most competitive gamemode to solo queue into in quick play. It's consistently more fun and a more equal fight. Also clash has the best maps in the game.
As a Mercy enjoyer, I would rather have had her GA returned to O2 S1 that the H and DB buffs. Especially since she got her health reduced. She is going to need the extra mobility to not evaporate from broken tracer and (cowardly perma invis) sombra and most mercy players will tell you the movement is the most enjoyable part of her kit, not being forced to pocket a sojourn because the second you GA a Tracer of Sombra will just insta kill you when you can’t run.
I mean Im guessing that since a lot of skins are recolours, and/or targetting the usual heroes, it shows that they dont have enough people working on skins... as its easier to just tweak an existing one than do a new skin for a new character ^^'
I love how every season even though everyone complains about her being the absolute worst and a total fun killed without fail Blizzard will announce another Orisa buff.
Haven’t finished the video yet, but I hope you’re doing okay Rory. EDIT: Feel the same about Clash, wish it was a separate game mode but that will never happen lol. Also very disappointed in the lacklustre execution of the Egyptian mythology theme :( it had so much potential but alas
Day 25 of asking for an Irish Review of Risk of Rain 2/Returns (I tried out Juno in practice range yesterday for the first time and honestly really wonky to me, I didn't play while she was on trail but her fire rate does feel weird, not being able to headshot is weirder but I get why she doesn't, her secondary fire is cool but doesn't really feel that satisfying to use, the rest of her abilities and movement overall is cool, but since I'm a Junkrat player I am required to not like her because she's a flying character /j)
5:20 Overwatch continues to baffle me with the decisions that it makes with competitive This for one Then why is flashpoint and push in comp at all? they feel so arcadey
I want to say that I loathe clash from the bottom of my heart. I despise how hectic and stressful it is. It takes the worst points of overwatch 2's design (the deathmatch simulator the game has now become) and magnifies it a thousand fold. It is by far the most unfun and horrid mode that overwatch has ever had, to the point that I am asking myself whether I should quit or not. It sucks the fun completely out of this game. I loved Hanamura in the og overwatch and seeing that wonderful map being reduced to this garbage makes me seethe.
Wow, there was literally nothing positive said and what little was there was met with "I like the concept, but". It's funny cause I agree with 99% things you say (except few - Juno doesn't need to headshot, wave respawns are great, and "Rammatra should've been Anubis" which feels so bizarre, literally everyone is saying that and yet I have zero idea why is everyone agreeing? That opinion came literally out of nowhere how is Ramattra of all 40-ish heroes more suitable for GOD OF DEATH than Reaper)
Anubis exists within the OW lore, we literally see them on the new map (they also try to escape containment every time you cap point C) Ramattra himself has ties to Anubis, as Anubis created him to lead omnics to war during the omnic crisis. Alongside his initial design, does it not fit pretty well? As for why I know this while not caring about OW lore myself? I care about my friends and some of them like Ramattra quite a bit so I listen to their thoughts on him.
Osiris is the god of death not Anubis, Anubis is graves and funerary rites, but I see your point. I think it's more about the fact that ram got NOTHING
This is by far the weakest battle pass we’ve had yet. The only items I’m interested in at all are in the free tiers, and the skins have almost no appeal to me, especially when half of them are off-theme.
With Lucio, Juno has a voice line that states that her favorite animal is a horse. I guess that means Marianne will eventually befriend Dorte even in alternate universes lol.
before this starts i wanna say the fact that rammatra didn’t even get a set or Ra or Horus (literally ANYTHING EGYPTIAN) was a blatant robbery
D.Va, Mercy, and Soldier were accomplices in Kiriko robbing characters of the skins they deserve.
we rammattra mains are suffering
@@wingedbluj1674why is D.va blue???
Why is it a link??????
why did bap get a mummy skin and not venture. this is rigged
Fr 😭 also they could have just turned Juno's helmet into a pyramid and call it a reference to silent Hill or something.
You're like Irish Scott the Woz if he loved OW
As a Mercy main with… *checks notes* two skins this season, neither of them having ANYTHING to do with Egyptian Mythology, I feel EXTREMELY bad 😭
What’s crazier than Juno and Venture getting no skins and Ram having no BP skins since October is that D.Va has got no BP skins since Season 1 almost 2 years ago and Brig has got no BP skins since release.
I’m not counting bundle or battle pass-themed shop skins
Brig got her first BP skin in mirrorwatch (now is it good? up to you, I don't care for it personally)
@@PixelRory ah that’s true. I love playing Brig, but yeah, that skin was not very good. I didn’t really care for most Mirrorwatch skins aside from the Talon turned OW skins, and even those were too simple for me to even want to get the BP.
Releasing an Egyptian themed content (and Map!) and not make something for Venture who is an archeologist is the very least a weird thought process
well… well… they got a premium voiceline 🥺
Greedy Venture players always wanting more,you got one voice line. Be happy smh my head
Shaking my head my head
With the drama about skins for heroes these recent seasons, well, Alyssa Edwards said it best:
"Riggory, Buffoonery, and straight up Tomfoolery"
PixelRiggory
I don't fully get the excuse about "Oh, we want the BP to be bought by everyone, so it's not ALL themed to the BP theme." Like, then spread your themes a little bit more? There's no Cleopatra skin, there's no sarcophagus skin, there's no Explorer/Archaeologist skin, etc. why bother theming them if only about 33% of the skins in total (including recolors) get themed?
Edit: You know it’s bad when Pixel Gun 3D, a dying mobile game, got an Egypt season BP with more Egypt skins than this entire season of OW. Cursed Pharaoh, Cat Cult Follower, Awakened Mummy, Pyramid Guard, Pyramid Builder, Scarab Priest, Anubis, Khepri, and Ra. OW2 Has Thoth, Apep, Mummy, and Bast in the BP, Aset, Nefertari, Tomb Walker (reskin) and Anubis in the shops
Really hoping games like Marvel Rivals will inject some real competition to push OW2 into trying.
Im upset seeing all new heroes lacking epic and legendary skins ON RELEASE
Like, devs, sure, keep blasting old skins recolors, but please, a BIT of effort?
But when to release a recolor when the Character DOESNT HAVE A SINGLE SKIN
I do enjoy clash, the change they made to the final point with the 3 segments is super cool, and risky. But i do agree anubis is too choke heavy
Blizzard didn't reduce Hanzo's HP because he was mobile, they reduced it because he's like Widow. They wrote that in the patch notes btw
Except widow actually has her one shot and doesn’t have to rely on luck to hit a dink
I thought capt sigma was based on British explorers who excavated tombs but I might be giving them too much credit
11:40 There was nothing wrong with two CP. Honestly it gave characters like torb and sym a more prominent role on those maps. We have less shields which was a major issue besides lamp and brig. 8cp is a snore honestly

They're good skins sure but there's definitely other heroes that need some love and Venture has honestly been forgotten at this point man. Love the vid btw keep it going 👍
seeing clash makes me wish for an assault comeback
2:56 the only way it could make sense is if they are still "Kids" when they are 30.
I will genuinely collapse from pure joy if Juno gets a persona related skin
juno but she has harus massive fucking grenade luancher
Yeah they really should've done Clash like TF2 does 5cp. There's no reason points should reset to neutral.
For how greedy blizzard is, it's weird that "the new hero" doesn't get a BP skin in ther first season, lifeweaver got a skin on tear 40( 30 or 50 idk), why not Venture or Juno? :( also no Venture skins?!
Why is one heist skin in the BP bundle and the other is bundled in with 2 oni skins, a third of which is in the battle pass?
I love juno she is incredibly fun to play and adds a new unique way to play at least to me but after the changes at the start of this season I feel as tho im not doing anything like im constantly doing dmg and healing my team and using my ring to speed my team in and out but they I check my stats and im barely scratching 2k on either dmg or healing and it feels as though I have no impact its very upsetting. And I don't know if its just me.
I understand why Pharah didn’t get a skin this season (because she has plenty of Egyptian skins already), but I’m still disappointed.
I’ve also noticed that since Venture, we haven’t been getting anymore cute/pixel sprays. I know I’m probably in the minority but I like having the goal to pursue these character challenges and to see them gone is kinda sad. Just another forgotten piece of a once fantastic game.
Bruh we are getting those they just haven’t been updating achievement lists bruh
soon 10k subscribers 🥳🥳🥳
Man, the pacing is so good. I laugh so much during it xD
Kiriko actually does more headshot damage now…
I still have to praise you for the Library of Ruina music, lol, good points all around as well
what hurts the most is being sad that pharah didn't get a skin and even in the video about how people should have gotten skins she is forgotten. The pain is endless

when I first saw the kiri and Mercy changes I thought "Rory will adore this" ... :) also I just realized, you kinda look like my cousin... 🙂
Ya
The main problem with the patch notes are with the fact the game isn't fucking fun for a portion of the player base. They're just so... Nothing.
at least we got catboy doomfist
11:52 irish hate crimes?
yeah, can confirm that blizzard called me a ******** ****** ****** ******** **** ***** ******** **********

5:46 scared the shit out of me wtf
THE KING IS BACK!!
The Lifeweaver changes do seem incredibly fun, though. Haven't had the chance to try it out myself yet but it seems promising!
put a petal on one of the boat on rialto, jump on it after it moves a bit then jump off, trust me its worth
Rest in peace. I hope that you’re feeling better. ❤❤❤
Every match got a junkrat or sombra
Well, Clash was designed to be a tug of war mode, so Blizzard actually succeeded, lol
W reference to persona and fire emblem. True fans only know 🗣️🔥
I mean Im guessing that since a lot of skins are recolours, and/or targetting the usual heroes, it shows that they dont have enough people working on skins... as its easier to just tweak an existing one than do a new skin for a new character ^^'
Clash is tennis and if you play like that it plays better
Blizzard you go girl give us nothing
I love how every season even though everyone complains about her being the absolute worst and a total fun killed without fail Blizzard will announce another Orisa buff.
still no bastion changes 😔

i am going to destroy the blizard employee who decided no venture or ramatra skins *in minecraft of course
weezer blue room?
Wouldn't rematra be more of an Osiris? Not Anubis irregardless of the original design. Like theme wise.

Not gonna lie, removing the hanzo and junk 1shot was the best change they ever made in the game, and they just ruined it
