what team up ability would you give to junkrat & roadhog?
genji & zenyatta?
reaper & sombra?
a fastball special for winston & tracer perhaps?
Big shield with Brig and Rein like in the cinematic would be kinda neat
Let torb piggyback on tanks
Yes. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
For the most part, team-ups are already in the game. They’re called “seasonal buffs/nerfs”. While this doesn’t directly promote certain combos, it certainly has such effect in many cases.
It could be nice to see of course - but the problem is that OW has absolutely abandoned its lore in favor of becoming a vehicle to sell skins. Soulless collabs, blatant brand ads, skins that make no sense lore-wise, etc, etc.
In Rivals team-ups are fun not only because they’re an additional balance layer and a way to diversify team comps, but much more so because they’re rooted into the known media (“the lore” if you wish). Hulk launching Wolverine is one of the most epic mechs I’ve ever seen, truest to the lore.
Genji redirecting Hanzo’s dragon.
Torb turret can ride on Bastion, because.
A kiriko and genji smoke bomb would be nice. If it obscures the enemy but your team gets walls for who ever is inside.
The point of team ups is that one side gets a passive bonus and the other gets a new skill or empowers a skill.
Ideally, something like Symmetra getting +15% dmg while LW’s flower has a barrier around it.
Or Mei gets +7% dmg/+50hp while Venture gets a hinder field made of frozen dirt.
Or Zen gets +7% dmg/healing while Symmetra’s sentries mimic his harmony orb and heal Sym within their range for 20 hps.
They’d still mess this up. Blizzard is anti fun.
Sounds like it could be a fun addition to a PvE mode
MR seasonal buff is really just an OW passive in a different form. +15% dmg, +15% healing, +150hp. They pretty much implemented what OW already did as role passives.
Pair-ups are bad for the most part. Adam Warlock + Mantis + Adam is a pretty powerful pair-up. Giving Moon Knight an invisibility cloak… is not. This is fundamentally the issue with pair-ups is that the power balance between them is WILDLY out of proportion to each other.
Throwing Wolverine is actually a semiuseful strategy. Riding on Groot as Shark or Rocket is just dumb. No one does it and it makes them both easier to kill.
Unfortunately you’d just like never see it
Heres some quirky ones.
Orisas teamup: Giddyup - Hanzo, torb, ilari, sym
Her back acts like a platform. You can jump off it. Hanzo can ride her and gain tank passive. You can place (a single) deployable on it, if hanzo isnt riding her.
Torbjorn teamup: Swedish engineering
All Lindholms can use turret as a bounce pad. Brig can place a 200hp barrier on turret.
Hazard teamup: (insert clever name)
Upgrades Meis ice wall and ice block to have damaging spikes.
Please no, this game doesn’t need forced synergy. Why should my character’s kit depends on my teammates’ pick?
Team up abilities in MR is basically making a hero, then removing one ability then only giving that ability back when you team up with certain hero. Like why I’m only able to use his sword ability with wanda when that ability is supposed to be a part of his kit? Terrible idea.
Make Roadhog able to hook Junkrat’s tire and swing it around in circles
Most are great. There are only a few that are kinda just eh, and thats fine. Moon Knight doesnt need more damage, he needs survivability.
I see it constantly in mid ranks. It depends on what kind of enemy they are facing, against dive and snipers is very strong. Not so much against AoE and anti-tank DPS.
Ice Spice
I love it haha.
What if Cassidy and Ashe could ride Orisa into battle? LOL
Ooh… give a Shamada team up where Genji, Hanzo, and Kiriko can amplify their ultimates if used together. Double dragon or Fox/Dragon with Kiriko.
