It gives you health. Shouldn’t it be named adaptive health?

Brigitte’s Shield Bash doesn’t bash you with a shield.

It bashes you with a barrier.

I’m not opposed to changing Doomfist’s ability names to awkwardly long Hollywood Kung Fu moves :thinking:

Wait… it does? I thought it gave you overhealth which is temporary health which is similar to shield which omg there’s too many FLIPPIN’ THINGS IN THIS GAME.

It does give you overhealth, the green one

Now anyways, it used to give you temporary shields.

Oh wow. Yeah, that’s… odd. That should be changed to shield lol.

It’s a Berenstain Bears effect, and I’m mad at you for pointing it out XD

Its temp health for a reason now, reduced ult charge on temp health and temp shields can be wonky where they can be healed up at times if it’s still within their ability duration.

It should be called ‘Fly,’ because it works exactly like the Pokémon move.

Well they changed it from shields so that it would be less confusing because now anything that gives you more than your maximum health turns into overhealth

Then they added Ramattra and Venture and screwed it up again, and even more than before since they gain temporary permanent health!

But yeah, overhealth was also meant as a buff for characters that got temporary shields since temporary shields were essentially just white health while temporary armor was bonafide armor. Overhealth either used to or does(I’m not actually sure right now) reduce ult charge given similar to how armor does just by virtue of you taking less damage.

More like the move bounce I think, especially since it slows opponents down similar to the paralysis status that bounce can apply

Sombra’s Virus doesn’t infect the target player’s system nor is it a violation of the Geneva suggestions.
Shouldn’t it be called, “The Purple Pain Prism (square)?”
