Wielding a precise and powerful bow with unlimited arrows, a special shockwave arrow, and able to jump far distances perfectly describes Hawkeye , but it also is a nearly identical description of Hanzo from Overwatch . If anyone is a dedicated Hanzo player, they will pick up Hawkeye almost immediately as a deadly DPS hero , even with the different abilities he posses


Many have already compared him to Pharah, who has a similar advantage in the air, wielding a rocket launcher at all times. Unlike Iron Man, though, Pharah's flight is limited, while her rockets aren't easily compared to Iron Man's limited explosive blasts and unlimited fli


There are many superficial similarities between Overwatch and Battleborn , Gearbox’s character-based shooter released just a few weeks before Blizzard’s: both feature large rosters of cartoonish, over-the-top characters, and both are multiplayer-focused games with an emphasis on teamwork and roles. But there are significant differences between the two games that actually make the comparisons a little unfair. For starters, Battleborn does have some single-player offerings, but its main differentiator is in its inspiration. From the structure of its maps to the low-ranked AI units serving as cannon fodder to the way players slowly level up over the course of a match, Battleborn is clearly trying to blend first-person gameplay with frantic MOBA elements perfected in games like League of Legends . Overwatch is far more similar to Valve’s legendary class-based shooter Team Fortress 2 . It takes that game’s concepts (learning a class, wildly differing roles based on attacking, defending, and support, and changing roles constantly to adapt to new situations) and cranks them up to eleven, as more characters means more slight tweaks on the same central id

The first Brawl Mode, the holiday-themed Snow Brawl, is currently available for testing on the Heroes of the Storm PTR .

In July 2022, Heroes of the Storm officially entered maintenance mode , formally discontinuing any new content from being added to the game. Since then, Blizzard has periodically updated Heroes of the Storm in visit the next website page form of balance patches, bug fixes, and other similar twe


It's been 17 years since Blizzard started a new franchise; even the immensely popular Hearthstone is an extension of the Warcraft universe. For a long time, it looked like the next new IP would be "Titan," a superhero MMO in development for seven years at the time it was cancelled. Shortly after Blizzard announced its cancellation, Overwatch appeared, and it's not hard to imaging the latter as an evolution of "Titan." It’s likely the public will never know all the details regarding "Project Titan ." We do know, however, that several maps made their way into Overwatch , and at the very least the character of Tracer survived the cancelled ti

Overwatch is currently set to launch on May 24 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Be sure to stay tuned over the coming weeks for more impressions of the Open Beta, as well as our final review towards the latter part of the month.


Now, nearly five years later, it seems Heroes Brawls are finally returning to the Blizzard MOBA, albeit under a slightly different name. Heroes of the Storm recently implemented a new update on the Public Test Realm featuring some hero balance and bug fixes. However, the most interesting part of the update is Brawl Mode, a new version of the Heroes Brawl that will be added back to the game in the next upd

The biggest difference between Hawkeye and Hanzo is their ultimate abilities. Hanzo summons a spiritual dragon to demolish all enemies in its way, while Hawkeye's Hunter's Sight ability creates afterimage versions of opponents that share damage with their affiliated her

Imagine my surprise when I was looking through the cast of characters and stumbled upon Symmetra, a support character who has the ability to bend and reshape light into mechanical constructs. While there are a growing number of characters of Indian descent in video games ( The Order: 1886 and Assassin’s Creed Syndicate feature a few), it’s very rare that they are featured as playable characters. I immediately took her for a spin, and after I decided to check out the complete roster of playable characters.
