I had two hopes for this event- a skin for one of my mains (got two!) and a playable tank in Junkenstein.
5 Years and you can’t include a single playable tank in the game-mode?
I mean, Rein or Zarya would honestly be perfect for the mode, fitting the theme and tone really well.
Way to continue crapping on tank mains everywhere. Can’t even be thrown a bone in PVE.
The mode has nothing. No new heros for either the playable characters or the villains you face. No new challenges… heck I don’t even think any the hero’s involved were reworked this year.
In the past the Torb rework, the changes to Brig or something made Junkenstien play differently. Pretty sure all the hero’s were basically they were last year this time.
Every year since release they’ve added new heroes to the game-mode.
This was the perfect time to Add Rein/Zar or better yet, both.
Nah, they didn’t do anything last year either. They put in the challenges but no new hero’s.
Both Bap and Ashe were added in 2020, so that statement is incorrect.
Rein is the narrator, so unless he’s narrating while being a part of the game itself (which admittedly would be pretty funny) he wouldn’t work.
Zarya’s energy beam doesn’t make much sense in the setting, and she wouldn’t be great for the same reason she’s not great in archives events; building charge is too unreliable vs. slow shooting AI enemies.
Wrecking ball and winston are… kind of hard to explain in a setting without genetic engineering. Werewolf winston is doable.
SIGMA THOUGH
SIGMA should 100% have been playable this year.
How hard is it to make him into like, a wizard or sorcerer.
I mean… his abilities are perfect for the game mode, he’d be a great thematic fit with a silly pointy wizard hat, and he has all sorts of opportunities to contribute hilarious nonsensical voicelines when talking to the other characters.
Seriously, come on guys. Major blunder on this one.
Actually the damage falloff revert is pretty noticeable on McCree in this mode. Except for deadeye, 76/torb perform better than him in every respect.
Torb already acts like a raid boss when he’s overloading, having someone like Rein or Hog sponging damage would make the mode quite trivial.
Heck, I have noticed it on Ashe.
I would have settled for the simple regert of the pumpkin-headed reaper instead of that hideous, non-canonical Dracula.
on the contrary, to tell the truth I am very disappointed by the total absence of the canonicity of the aspects of the fighters with the 2016-2017 comics. 
it would have been … appreciable. it’s all too messy and forgotten.
2 Things.
Because her charge would never get too oppressive and would only really spike during boss battles and her bubbles would seriously enable the likes of Brig, Genji, and McCree, as well as being generally useful for saving allies in boss fights.
Her Ult would not be all that oppressive compared to a Hog sweeping everything off the map, or Ball mining the entire field (like Torb is already broken).
She has the right damage and good utility for the game-mode.
Hm, guess I playing an entirely different game of Junkenstein as people rarely if at all die.
Also yeah would feel AMAZING running around 0 - 20 charge being able to nothing really.
Less charge also equals drastically lower Grav generation meaning you’re lucky to even have one when the bosses are there, only to then have 0 impact because you’d require Ana AND Torb for it to get any value.
Perfect Hero for PvE
True playing a tank in junkenstein would of been great, especially since I basically one trick zarya at this point.
Plus the zarya skin I just checked out and it’s not great, imo. Luckily I still have that one from archives which is still amazing.
I’m sorry, explain to me how a beam doing 70dmg/sec is worse than Mcree at 70 per shot plus falloff, or Ashe at 70 per shot plus fall off?
Low charge is still highly impactful in pve.
And clearly someone isn’t playing on Legendary or isn’t playing the challenge missions.
Pretty sure you could sit at 100 charge the whole game on about half the challenges.
So I guess if you keep cheesing on Normal or Hard, yeah Zarya would be “Useless”. But on those difficulties, you don’t even need a support. So you tell me why there’s 4 supports?
Eh, if you start to see the patterns with how they fire, and get insanely aggressive, she could be useful. She’d be really good against those blue thingys. Reaper/Hog also.
Both characters can deal Headshots and have way higher impact Ultimates.
Oh you mean the easiest of all PvE game modes…
Yeah, still not challenging, even with randoms.
That’s not being good against but relying on them, so good luck having allies not killing them.
But yes, against the actual Heroes she is more useful against.
Imagine caring enough to worry and complain about a half baked PvE mode in a competitive multiplayer game.
If I were Blizzard I would keep shafting players who complain about pointless garbage just so they leave.
Sorry, but that’s just my point of view.
It is not working… I didn’t leave yet, Blizzard needs to try better to do nothing.
Man I forgot everyone just clicked heads the entire time!
Thanks for reminding me!
Yeah I can’t think of any possible use or application of grav in that game-mode. I would never use it to prevent a half dozen Zomnics from breaching the door, or hold a boss in Torb Ult!!!
Thank goodness you’re here to remind us how easy Legendary and the challenges are!
Just here to say Ball would be amazing to play as.
Rolling through Zomnics like bowling pins would be a blast. Literally.
