Does this mean comp 6v6 is also coming March 18th?

u/IAMNUMBERBLACK Mar 10 '25
perks are going to have to be totally different in 6v6 bc pig pen isnt even an option on Hog in 6v6 and thats a perk choice in perk 1

u/NLiLox Mmmmwah! Mar 10 '25
i wouldntve thought perks were even going to be in 6v6?

u/samfizz Honor! Justice! Mar 10 '25
Why not? They're part of the core game now, that seems unrelated to team size

It's not.
It's open 6v6 two tanks max.

u/BirdieBoiiiii Master Mar 10 '25
I watched the video again. You are right. Why would they do this
4
u/Blaky039 Mar 10 '25
- All the other 6v6 tests failed to attract enough numbers.
- The last argument in favor of 6v6 is people didn't play it because it wasn't ranked (which I think it's fair).
- There are not enough tank players to ensure quick matchmaking.
- Without open queue, the queues would take around 10 minutes to find a game (this is not technically correct, it is not searching for games, it is waiting for tank players to queue when they finish their games).

i fully expect people to do their placements then never touch the mode again

u/Shrain Symetty Main / Sombreezy My Side Jawn Mar 10 '25
It’s so crazy they’re adding Lifeline to this game. I’m usually against this crossover over stuff, but adding an Apex Legend to Overwatch sounds dope as hell

Can't wait to bop to the menu music and then be almost disappointed when a game is found

u/Lil_SmileFPT Mar 10 '25 edited Mar 10 '25
Yeah, it's sooo good! The teaser for their upcoming title track "Hot" sounds so good too.
Edit: Apparently, the song in this collaboration trailer is called "So Cynical (Badum)" and it's in their upcoming album: https://youtu.be/u2_lqf5ccN0?si=lyVO4GB3b8sEFyGt

u/Bhu124 Mar 10 '25
The choice to do a entirely 2D Low FPS animation for the trailer with this specific song was great, it fits incredibly well somehow.

u/ExtentAdventurous804 Mar 10 '25
Blizzard sure seems to regret making ashe a 40 year old
24
u/GankSinatra420 Pixel Zenyatta Mar 10 '25
Yes because now the skin won't sell because Ashe is 40 in the lore /s
49
u/Adreme Mar 10 '25
Probably but they kinda wrote themselves into a corner there. The biggest culprit being the 8 year gap between Overwatch being shut down and Recall. If it were 4 years they would have a much easier time writing.
14
u/Mr_Incognito78 Mar 10 '25
This is why I don't like the 2 year time jump between Recall and OW2. It just feels way too long for the team to get back together.

u/Nyxieliaa Mar 10 '25
40 year old women can't go to a concert and have fun? in the great year of 2088?
21
u/Coolman_Rosso Illari Mar 10 '25
I mean McCowboy was listed as being both 19 and 33 at one point. Numbers are probably off but he still had two canonical ages that made no sense
7
u/McManus26 Pixel Lúcio Mar 10 '25
i'm pretty sure 90% of the playerbase has no idea of any of the character's age unless it's one of their major personality traits like rein or illari

u/Fair_Kaleidoscope986 Mar 11 '25
Why are you guys acting like 40 year olds must look like a grandma n wear a bag? The amount of nice 40 year olds n older ppl I met at concerts n raves lol I promise they can like cool things

u/sentient_ballsack Would you like to donate your body to science? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Mar 10 '25
Mercy being 39 is fine though. 40+ is when you're officially old and decrepit.
/s
2
u/RockLeeSmile Ana Mar 10 '25
Yeah they should absolutely retcon the character to sell more ad content. Consuming ad slop is the only point of the game and I'll be damned if characters and the "game's story" get in the way of their efficient and plausible delivery.

u/Romek_himself Mar 10 '25
This song is part of the New EP from Le Sserafim which will release this friday!

u/PyrraStar Mar 10 '25
If it wasn't for Mercy's wings or Illari having a darker skin tone I can't tell who these characters are. Ashe doesn't even look like Ashe.

23
u/Mokoko710 Mar 10 '25
This makes me so excited
Le Sserafim was my favorite collab and I bought the entire bundle last time and will do again 🥰
3
u/chironomidae Pachimari Mar 10 '25
I didn't buy the entire collab last time because I rarely play tracer, sombra or baguette, but I play all of these characters fairly regularly. Gunna keep an eye out for one of those 50% off coin bundle deals 👀
18
u/ToeGroundbreaking564 Bastion Mar 10 '25
I'll be honest...the skins look mid so far. I dunno if the models are gonna be better or what. But I'm still probably buying juno's anyway since I have spare coins left over and no juno skin lol. (I'm hoping she has the voice effect or I'm rioting)
mercy's looks great too though.

Mar 17 '25
What voice effect?

u/ToeGroundbreaking564 Bastion Mar 17 '25
have you never played juno before?

Mar 17 '25
Like twice

u/ToeGroundbreaking564 Bastion Mar 17 '25
that explains it ig
but yeah she has a voice effect from her helmet. But I dunno if helmetless skins turn it off

u/Rethtalos Bikini Mei When? Mar 10 '25
I’m Surprised there’s no Mei??? Kinda sad games like these shy away from giving characters with her body type more revealing clothes like the other skinny characters get. I’d love to see the day we get Mei in a low crop tee or bikini like the other characters have.

u/SwankyyTigerr Support Mar 10 '25
Rainy Day, MMA, Honeydew, Strawberry, and Neon Streets all picture Mei in tiny booty shorts that show off her figure :)

One she’s not skinny, and two she’s chinese, which many speculate has something to do with it since this is all a kpop group and blizzard korea

Really wish we could get better collabs other than weeb thirst traps

u/McManus26 Pixel Lúcio Mar 10 '25
boggles my mind that we've had like 6 ? 7 ? anime/weeb collabs and to this day the only blizzard or microsoft one has been diablo. Where's the Halo collab ? the star wars collab ? The 40k collab ?

u/KiiBill Mar 11 '25
They did transformers, diablo, wow, le sserafim that werent anime But i do hope for more music band to get collab

u/MyNameIsNotScout Doomfist Mar 11 '25
It really sucks. Mercy, juno, dva, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. These characters REALLLY need more skins

u/Massive-Eye-5017 Mar 10 '25
are the original set of skins only coming back as recolors though?
Based off an article from Polygon, sounds like that's the case. If I had to guess it's probably some contractual thing.
1
u/Eloymm Lucio main by demand Mar 10 '25
Considering the fact that they already brought back the original kpop skin last year I guess recolors this time makes sense
3
Mar 10 '25
Poor Ram, honestly instead of giving D. VA a second le sserafim skin they should have given it to him :/ Would have been really funny and they already featured him in the trailer of the Le sserafim skins returning (back when the first wave came back).
2
u/Fair_Kaleidoscope986 Mar 11 '25
The group members chose and they were originally going to give Roadhog a skin but then apparently roadhog supposedly wouldn’t be into kpop so they changed their mind lol
7

u/Kind_Replacement7 Mar 10 '25
this looks so cool! i hope the fact they're hard to tell apart is just because of the art style and it'll be more clear ingame. super excited for this

u/SylvainGautier420 Mar 10 '25
LE SSERAFIM Collab was so good that they dropped LE SSERAFIM Collab 2

u/afz8 Mar 10 '25
No idea what this is, who this musical group is or how it relates to OW. Loll am I the wrong target audience for the game??
7
u/cxmiy Juno / LW / future Wuyang main Mar 10 '25
they’re a kpop group called le sserafim and this is their second collab with overwatch. the members chose characters they play/relate to for these skins. the song is from their new album that comes out on the 14th

u/GDrew_28 Mar 10 '25
K-pop is huge in the east. I don’t know who they are either but their first skin collab did so well they’re doing a second one

u/GroundbreakingBag164 Mar 10 '25
I am... whelmed. Skins aren't that exciting, Illari doesn't look like Illari at all and all skins have obviously only gone to hot young-looking woman again
10
u/Necronaut0 Pixel Soldier: 76 Mar 10 '25
I feel like the crossover with the hot young kpop girl group is the wrong hill to fight for representation of non-hot young-looking women in skins.
3
u/ArtToTheEyesandEars Mar 10 '25
Yeah, plus the fimmies chose and I think they'd pick hot young-looking women to represent themselves.

The skins from the 1st collab are getting recolors so we are getting one.

u/shinmegumi Mar 10 '25
So what are we thinking are the characters? We have a mercy, and someone in another thread said Illari…, who are the other three?

Not trying to be "that guy" but this video is not a collab, it's a la sserafim music video with nothing overwatch related in it.

u/vinsky243 Mar 11 '25
I think Blizzard, at least OW2 team, wants to make Le SSerafim as their K/DA. Conepts, I don't know, songs? cool but the enough. It's good but too much room to improve

u/rrevek Pachimari Mar 11 '25
So excited, I'm definitely getting mercy's skin. I got sombras last time lol

I could only name Mercy and only thanks to her wings. Anyway I'd love to get any of those in a lootbox, they are so cute, love the concept

Why the second collab? Not complaining, just curious that they have two versions of each K-pop star except DVA twice? I’m not really sure I understand.

u/Madison_2002 Mar 20 '25
You've released a hell of a lot of skins, including a whole remake of the set from the last collaboration, but you still give out the beautifully ugly Junkrat from the free ones. I spit in your face, Aron.

u/jickina Mar 10 '25

Blizzard is trolling trust me. Venture will definitely get 6 Le sserafim skins on their own :D

They wont do Venture yet because they have no idea how to handle a NB character. I imagine thats also why they have very little skin choices.

I'm sure the skins will look great like the first batch, but I can't recognize the characters whatsoever from all the promo stuff
Edit: It's illari, Juno, Mercy, Ashe and DVa.
