Could you please post the answers here instead of just posting links to answers? I don’t do reddit.

Then i would also have to post the concrete question here, possible follow-ups and so on; that makes it way harder both for me and most who want to get the answers.

Kinda makes the thread pointless though… If I was willing to goto reddit, then I could just read the AMA myself and I wouldn’t need this thread.

It seems i got a fair share of answers as finding new ones gets pretty hard; if you got one i missed, please provide the link in your post and i´ll add it above.

And you would need to probably save 3-4 posts just for it, cause they would get pretty big.

Thanks for putting this up.

I really wish they would post their AMA answers in their own forums…

Can someone at least summarize if anything important was said during the AMA?

We will be getting more tanks!

Hopefully Mei will be one of them! :smiley:

Na that’s a bad idea, what we need is Fenix again but this time as a tank.

Why do people keep misspelling “Reinhardt”?

7 Likes

Because Mei is cuter than Reinhardt, and we all know that cuteness factor is the only reason to play a particular hero.

Speak for yourself! I would take a big, cuddly German any day. It’s not that I hate Mei, but I just like big, cuddly Germans.

And tanks. Lots of tanks.

Not really. You still have to sift through the plethora of questions and to look for the ones the devs have answered. Or at least for me. Some things on reddit aren’t working for me.

Anyways,

This isn’t from the Q&A today, but this it’s a nice long post about lategame from AZJackson that I feel is worth including. I doubt many forum people have seen it.

This thread was great!

I’m glad they will confirm a change to Tracer, although there is no advance but it will have to wait :kissing_heart:
