Welcome to the spectator chat. Let's all watch the scrubs playing competitive and laugh at them.
I will be posting no spoilers here. You all can experience shock and awe with the players in real time.

Whoever gets the Zenyatta role is automatically my personal MVP.

I am pretty curious how this day will go. With only 48 hours I don't know if the normal day 1 of jumping on the one weird reaction will be viable.

So this is just a TF2 copycat right You know, I actually had an idea for my avatar when I initially planned to play in Overwatch mafia. It was going to be the TF2 Spy with his mask on and Bastion's face on it and then a little Archimedes from TF2 with a tiny Ganymede mask on. Role based our just based on your hate for mazre? Role based Ooo, the tease~ Did you leave the Roles to where they fit the character ( like Mercy = Doctor ) or did you try and throw a curve ball for them? o: |

All roles match up with one of the abilities of the character. It could be their ult or just one of their two regular abilities or their passive if applicable. But easy answer, yes, roles make flavor sense. There was enough variety that pretty much everyone had a scummy ability and townie one imo.
Edit: Well..... Some people might have access to more than one ability......

God, they're so adorable. Feel free to guess powers lol it was really easy to justify multiple roles for all heroes.

So it's not just Ults? Interesting. I'm excited to see the first flip to get an idea what level of 'crazy' is going on with the roles here.
Also as much as I agree with Sophia isn't it usually Town that end up in the fluff/flavor discussion loop more so than Scum? At least that's how PiR/Pokemafia felt, Town ended up digging a hole for themselves with Scum dancing around it since they already knew the answers.

At least that's how PiR/Pokemafia felt, Town ended up digging a hole for themselves with Scum dancing around it since they already knew the answers. Scum is a little lost too. They have no fake claims so they do need to do some legwork in some cases to come up with more town-friendly abilities. Going to be funny when the first flip is something boring like the roleblocker (of course there is a roleblocker). There are at least 5 roles that Gafia has never seen before though, maybe more, that's just what I can remember off the top of my head. |

God, they're so adorable. Feel free to guess powers lol it was really easy to justify multiple roles for all heroes. Gladly. It'll give me something to do while Overwatch updates. :p Hanzo: His Ultimate could be an override but his Sonar Arrow can also be justified as a Tracker/Watcher ability Mercy: Doctor, duh. Whatever her 'shift' ability is called, the one where she flies over to someone, could be a Hider\Coward ability also. Mei: Ouro's Role Junkrat: A timed explosive would be fun, sort of like a Poisoner. Steel Trap could also be a roleblock. His passive could be a bomb either when he gets NK/lynched and it takes out someone else with him Ana: Ultimate is a 1-shot Strongman she can give to someone. Sleeper Dart is a Roleblock. Grenade....no idea Zenyatta: Harmony Orb is a 1-shot BP that can be given to someone? Discord Orb would fit a Scum Zenyatta since he could put it on someone and a fellow teammate's kill goes through like a Strongman shot. Zarya: Doctor or a BP, either for herself or someone else Widow: Ultimate could be a Cop or a Watcher. Poison Dart = Poisoner. Hookshot Grappling Hook thing is a Commuter. Genji: Deflect would be neat. something something Ninja those are the ones off the top of my head anyway |

There are at least 5 roles that Gafia has never seen before though, maybe more, that's just what I can remember off the top of my head. Just with how some Heroes are I think anybody who claims Reaper/Roadhog/Junkrat/etc. might get trapped into that flavor loop of 'well their character is designed around killing so they are Scum' even though you already stated that Scum and Town had their Heroes randomized so it wasn't as black and white. Not that it would automatically lead to a lynch but given how well Flavor/Mechanics talk has gone for Town lately it could easily bite them in the ass if they are not careful. Depending on who Scum's Heroes are they shouldn't be in too much trouble. :x Are we looking at the return of the ascetic serial killer cop? Or are we finally getting our first Tree Stump PR?? |
