Ugh, I mean the skins are nice but the real excitement starts at voice lines and sprays and emotes and highlight intros. For me, anyway.

Same.
Too bad only new heroes are getting those these days. No new voice lines or sprays at least for anyone except those that are missing some.
Most likely there will be like 2 emotes and 2 intros for someone. Honestly, they should make more of those two in particular more often. I see no reason why thereās so little variety there.

Same here actually. Even if they may not be a direct reference to canon, voiceline interactions/emotes/etc. do excite me if it reveals anything more about their personality/connections with other heroes.
Edit: So far we have thisā¦

Thatās so cute and I canāt believe I never noticed that.
I wonder, no epic skin reveal today? Thatās odd. I kind of thought there would be more besides Bastion but maybe weāll find out later tomorrow.
Have you guys seen this yet?

Iām glad thereās a response, but thereās not much in it. Iāve already figured theyāre working on future stuff and secret stuff.
But hey. Itās a response! So itās good even though it doesnāt really say a lot.

Meh. It was pretty much nothing. Same poo, different day.
I hope they realize 2019 is a make or break moment for Overwatch.

i guess, mostly, we donāt have a big newsworthy thing to announce or talk about right now so weāre more focused on āgetting stuff doneā rather than anything else.
Iām afraid this might also mean thereās no winter comic either.

itās good to see them still caringā¦i think. honestly, EA and bethesda have really made it hard to trust silent devs. then again, those companies, EA especially, are openly antagonistic on top of thatā¦

they probably do. unless they actually are listening too much to the youtubers. i really hope not.
Are you guys excited for any other games beside Overwatch? Iāve been excited for Kingdom Hearts III next month.

Letās hope the leftover cosmetics they didnāt show are also good. Itās going to be the first thing I check when I open up the game. I wonder if Hanzo has any new voicelines.

voicelines or emotes are what im counting on to save this event for me. though i think i will start playing more. they did fix a lot since i stopped. and my friends could always come back. just going to mute team chatā¦because i know thats the one thing unfixedā¦im a proud gamer, and used to the treatment, but there comes a point where it isnt relaxing.

Doubt it. They stopped adding extra event voice lines. Maybe only if they heard the backlash against it, but I donāt think it made that much noise.
An emote would be nice though, as well as a highlight intro or a pose!

Ahh I suppose. I think if weāre going by the summer/halloween events, the heroes that got new skins will also get new voicelines.

Youāre right. I think Junkrat kind of fits the skin aesthetic very well.
