Might give that a go

Just for a few rounds. There was a game that came out not too long ago with that basic mechanic, and it flopped despite being a fresh change for PvP. The name escapes me.

Evolve failed because it was riddled with issues. And it was little more than a vehicle for outrageous DLC delivery.

This new PvE event is excellent.
Time for a story mode, Blizzard.

Blizz said a couple of days ago on Twitter that story mode is not gonna happen.

I prefer the Uprising event actually. It felt like it was a bit more dynamic. This one just feels like a long rush forward.
Still, it's a welcome change of pace from quick play or competitive.

We believe in creating a better world, and as part of that mission we’ve teamed up with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to release a special charity skin in Overwatch: PINK MERCY!

Available for purchase in-game and online through May 21, all sales of this limited-time legendary skin will benefit BCRF and their mission to end breast cancer.

As a Mercy main, this one's a no-brainer.

Not available for console

[edit]oh it is, just not through the blizz page

Apparently it's not cross-platform though, so if you unlock on PS4, you can't use it on PC.

The new Find A Grouo feature is awesome. Find and play with like-minded people with a few clicks.

The new hero though... Hammond the Hamster? Surely they are trolling.

[Eraser]

It's the mech, though, not the Hamster?

[Transient]

Yeah. There was concept art for a cat with a jetpack, so...

So that charity skin raised $12.7 million, setting a record. Pretty impressive. I hope they do it again in the future, maybe an in-game ice bucket challenge for Mei or something.
