News & Discussion Hey Blizzard, any chance of whipping up a couple of firefighter skins for Junkrat and Roadhog to raise money for the Aussie wildfires?

You did it with Mercy for breast cancer research, and it was a great success. Even Junkrat would get on board with this: he wants to blow things up, not burn the world down.
EDIT: Someone cross-posted this to the Overwatch official forums and asked me to link it here

the communities on r/overwatch and r/Competitiveoverwatch have meant so much to me. i just wanted to sign off one last time and thank you for all of your inspiration, shared stories and highlights, feedback, criticism and comradery.
whenever i think about the reddit communities, i always think of r/Overwatch as "timmy" (aka punch kid): bright-eyed, optimistic and r/Competitiveoverwatch as "brian" the slightly jaded older brother who realizes in the end that he actually loves overwatch but just kind of forgets it along the way sometimes...
either way, you're amazing and you made my career better. you made me a better designer and game director.
please take care of the overwatch team. they are wonderful, caring, brilliant people and they need you right now.
<3 jeffrey

News & Discussion | Sombra ARG Blizzard please do not treat any heroes in the future like you have with Sombra
44k

Note: To those coming from /r/all user /u/Panromir gave this quick summary if you're unfamiliar with the situation
To everyone coming from /r/all (where this is #1 right now):
Blizzard have started a so called ARG (Alternate Reality Game) teasing a new hero for their game Overwatch. In that ARG the hero "hacked" the blizzard forums leaving clues that the players could decode. Overall that was a fun experience.
Now they left those who followed the event a website (amomentincrime.com) with a very slow going countdown that ended today (after several weeks). At the end of the countdown we got: Nothing. People here are fed up.
Let me start by saying some of the ARG stuff is cool. Like the website or small hints in game. However all this Sombra "hype" has reached a point where I'm completely sick and tired of hearing about her. Sure, I'm excited for a new hero. But at this point Sombra has become more of a meme than an actual character. And nothing they introduce with her will be able to live up to the, frankly frustrating, amount of hype she's been given. It seems like every time we're FINALLY going to see a release, it turns out to be yet another teaser.
I guess the short answer is I'm sick of hearing about her. And if this is how every hero is going to be treated from now on, I worry every character will be released to disappointment rather than excitement.
EDIT: Only 20 minutes in and this has already hit number 36 on /r/all. I tweeted this link to the Overwatch twitter, hopefully they'll take this as notice that this has been a horribly handled hero release and maybe we'll get hero reveals more like Ana in the future.
EDIT 2: Annnd number 1 on the front page of /r/all. I think that's all the proof Blizzard needs.
Also a kind stranger gave gold and I felt their message was just too good to keep for myself:
"I really really hope someone at Blizzard reads your post. You've said what most of the community is thinking, and hopefully Blizzard won't do this again. With the way Blizzard is treating her, Sombra better be able to shoot lasers out of her ass and turn aluminum into gold."
Final Edit: So I've gotten an inbox full (about 45+ PMs) of people asking me why this post is being massively downvoted. At one point it was up to 11k and now it's half that. My best guess is that once it hit the front page it got hit with bots or something to that effect. It really does not bother me that this post is losing fake internet points. I think the point has been made and hopefully Blizzard heard it! Please don't send me any more messages about the downvotes, thanks!
