That is freaking awesome!They just confirmed that Baptiste is Hatian and will have Haitian voice lines.
His voice actor is Benz Antoine.
Just reinstall it..... then uninstall it after you get tilted enough times.
It's the real OW gameplay loop.
OH MAN!!!! Excited beyond belief.They just confirmed that Baptiste is Hatian and will have Haitian voice lines.
His voice actor is Benz Antoine.
Bliz is probably thinking hard about how to design the next tank since for the most part both Orisa and Wrecking Ball have been overshadowed by their alternatives. In general it'll be hard to make a dent in the community's tank preferences, especially with shield tanks since Rein is both easy to play and very reliable with a big ass 2000 health shield.
I did that once and then stopped uninstalling it because my net is really slow
Nice, both for his ethnicity & his actor.They just confirmed that Baptiste is Hatian and will have Haitian voice lines.
His voice actor is Benz Antoine.
Awesome. I wonder how many lines I'll be able to pick upThey just confirmed that Baptiste is Hatian and will have Haitian voice lines.

Not gonna lie, it does make me wonder why they showed the new robot girl so early if they're wedging other characters before she becomes playable.
Start of game (putting Sym in DPS): 21 Heroes
13 DPS
5 Tank
3 Healer
Postlaunch: 9 Heroes
3 DPS
2 Tank
4 Healer
They expected 1 healer per game, and 2-2-2 as the default comp took them by surprise.
One of the super cool things that's emerged w/ Hammond is that he enables 3/4 DPS comps that were otherwise not really viable since he's tanky, mobile. and disruptive without being a quasi-DPS as a solo tank.
Orisa getting to run at a mounted speed if she doesn't shoot or take damage for a few seconds is a pretty good community suggestion.
Hamtaro is actually seeing a lot of play in OWL whenever it's "not goats".
I was making jokes about a lot of Blackwatch personel being darker while a vast majority of OW are white
just a jest and I do love the diversity in the game though and none of my negative comments regarding it are jokes.
The game launched with only 3 supports (Mercy, Zen and Lucio) and 5 tanks (D.VA, Roadhog, Winston, Rein and Zarya).
Symm was a support with health gen as ult instead of healing and got re-worked so she is a DPS now.
Torb also doesn't give you any armor so he is pure DPS now.
You guys need to realize that OW launched with extremely poor DPS to tanks/supports ratio and is taking forever to making it better.
U are asking for too much main tanks got to be immobile/slow else it will be OP.
Therefore they always gonna be boring to play
Jeff said that she was far away for release at Blizzcon, They have 6 heroes under development, not that weird.
Are lucio and D.Va actually affiliated with Overwatch tho?
Pharah isn't other than her mom being a OG member.
They're all good aligned characters, but they are affiliated with other organizations.
Not a huge fan of his design, but it is awesome having a Haitian hero.
I am happy that we get another male support, but less so that he is now our 4th black dude with STILL no black women :(

Yeaaa, true. Forgot about that.
For some reason though, looking at this game now, it feels like I'm looking at an old fling I once had. Even though I still play it from time to time. It's not the same anymore...
Also, not sure if such a simple design and basic type of character is what they need right now. Seems like going nuts and adding another crazy character like Hammond would spur more interest...
I think diversity is more a long term trend, here its probably more a way to find a commercial window between the releases of Apex, Anthem or The Division. With the current gaaspocalypse, even studios and publishers are playing Battle Royale against each others.
Current meta favors support with aura healing (Brig and Lucio) so dunno. He might be the third support instead of Zen/Ana/Moira and empower GOATs even more lol.
Why? Overwatch had great diversity in its characters since it launched 3 years ago...
Never said they were affiliated with over watch the question was if they are good guys
Yeah I thought historically they always show off their abilities at same time as announcement/origin story? Excited to see what this dude can do!
This guy was in 19-2, 10/10 would recommendThey just confirmed that Baptiste is Hatian and will have Haitian voice lines.
His voice actor is Benz Antoine.
Are you kidding me? If anything overwatch is the most diverse video game in the entire galaxy since day 1
They already said that Echo would not be Hero 30 right after she was shown.
