I Played The NEW Mirrorwatch Event In Overwatch 2

[@RealSnarb]

"They have chickens!" is now a valid Overwatch callout

[@OriginSoma]

"Why did you die?" "I got fucked by chickens"

[@DuckSwagington]

You know it's really an alternate reality gamemode because Rein is actually fun to play in it.

[@WizardBrandon]

yeah because they took away like all of his counters

[@RatziFatzi]

yes... i think Rein should be Copy Pastet into the real Mode... even im not a Tank main

[@MrTelboy]

The slicers from Bastion make me think there is going to be a summoner hero coming.

[@wexmell]

oh god pls no, they are gonna be so annoying to play against

[@vxungodly]

Sung jinwoo ahh hero

[@RedTheWeeb]

God I hope so summoner characters / classes are peak

Or potentially a rework for Symmetra turrets making them hardlight constructs that move around?

[@phil1500]

@@wexmell I think it'll be okay, the deployment of these is the roughest part, if they stem from one location and are counterable that way by a whole bunch of other ults then its fine

Fun fact: you can inifinite blink around the spawnroom as tracer in this mode

[@crimsongogeta6810]

They gotta bring some of the Rein changes to the main game, honestly.

[@markstewardson4006]

the speed boost on shield break and swing speed increase would both be great

[@Overwatch2003]

Widow with shield is crazy

[@sergiohenrique3551]

Some of these are genuine for test

[@jorigmamaco5245]

Same for doomfist's shield ngl

[@AlekVen]

The corpse explosion is a legit menace, especially during intense team fights. And together with Mercy's ult it turns into a nightmare to deal with. A Pharah with infinite ammo and complete control over her movement, who can explode dead people for like 200 damage a pop, constantly regenerating health and having a jet boost every 1.5 seconds. The new Mercy is extreme fun.

[@MaxTM_]

The red explode is actually kinda crazy if you use it right.

[@PeaceMastah]

Oh ya it’s op af

[@CosmiccNova]

It literally one-shots Tracers XD That thing goes crazy for when your DPS lose 1v1s too

[@joshuataylor5080]

The number of times I used it to kill someone after the barely won a 1v1 is nasty. Low key though, Brig's whipshot that pulls people is m favorite change. Snatching a Sombra out of mid-air/teleport when they're trying to run away is immensely satisfying.

[@TheDarkPeasant]

Yup. Especially in OT on payload modes. Once had a game where my rein charged in to touch, swung once or twice, died, and then I exploded his corpse and got a 5k 😂

[@chkensammich]

right, bro was just spamming it off cooldown

[@chrisjackson2821]

Flats getting so excited about healing the chicken vs helping emogg made me so happy hahaha

[@nsa5102]

chickens taste much better than emogg :p

[@dingoplays8256]

Bro, The Sombra change should be the real game lmao

[@aaronolson6736]

This hack/emp could go on a support but the virus change, that could work for Sombra. If Hack silences Virus can give someone -25% damage if its damage is reduced.

[@zachhirschler]

No it shouldn’t

[@shadespo]

Maybe as a new hero but yes we definitely need a hero with similar gameplay!

[@DeathsAvarice]

Unironically if this is them testing this to see how she is as a support, I think it feels great

[@TheRaider18]

I’d rather them just remove the character and act like she never existed

[@VANhasVOICE]

@Flats, did You KNEW Bastion's new ultimate lil minions can be used to push the payload?! Neither me or enemy Bastion did, until he ulted and our team almost LOST second point in Junkertown, because those little fuckers stick to it and PUSH it! Insane xD

[@markstewardson4006]

they capped the 1st point for us in Paraíso

[@mobileethan245]

My only complaint is mercy yelling “Heroes Never Die!” In her ult still-3-

[@steeldragon9041]

The chickens were able to push the kart 5:40

[@cooler7208]

This gamemode is absolutely the best, im in love with it so much, going full swing as rein with a sombra pocket, having sombra as a SUPPORT CHARACTER IS SO GOOD! as an ana main the changes for her are just so good, going full dps while having a hanzo dash is just the best, the mercy explosion is just absolutely hilarious, whether it be done to my team or theres its just amazing, bastion actually feels better, hes not just a turret only type character and actually is more fair, his ult is just great, having minions in the backline while you dive the front is great, tracer zarya are kind of niche, the brig pull is fucking hilarious, especially when all i think of is "GET OVER HERE" the gamemode is just the best

[@mruptownK]

Tracer is definitely not niche she's busted

[@flynnfarron]

I'm such a big fan of Widow's "weak spot" ultimate, I think they should legitimately bring it into main game.

[@morganroberts6199]

The rein changes except for the shatter and shield definitely need to happen in the live game

[@TheOneAverageJoe]

the shield being a window is fine its not that good

[@astupidlylongnamethatstoolong]

@@TheOneAverageJoe Its not really necessary either tbh, but i'd take the speed buff on it breaking.

11:55 That is EXACTLY the same thought I had. Ruben hit it right on the head. "Could this be some of what they had in stock?" They're *amazing* changes. It feels really fun, different, and new. Sure it'll get old because of the limited hero pool, but the possibilities are all THERE...

[@clemonr6]

The first minute when he said he can't find a use for mercy rez, I'm just going to wait to see if he kills anyone with ot because it's incredibly useful when a team fight is happening and you can finish off people or displace them

[@Sunny-uz8cw]

“Blows up soul with mind.” “My f*ckin soul”

[@Outlander777]

Zarya basically got her second ultimate ability from Heroes of the Storm.

[@willm8896]

I get the impression that what they are trying to eventually do, is to have all the heroes with two versions, then perhaps it could be a good versus evil for every fight, and you wouldn't have identical heroes

[@Brayslayer]

That would be awesome

[@SlyestFoxOwO]

The Rein shield destroy movement speed buff needs to be in the game

[@hobosorcerer]

Flank Bastion feels so good with this setup. Bomb jump up to high ground, use walls to rush down supports in the backline, then clean up the front.

[@omega2432]

Flats’ mercy hurts my soul, metaphorically and literally, explosions hurt too.

[@tbearfabo7]

The doomfist changes are actually amazing, and they should be implemented into the game

[@fluffydragon3333]

Things I really like in mirrorwatch that I think could be implemented without hurting the balance to bad… Ana lunge, widow mini shield, bastions ult however maybe for a future hero doesn’t suit bastion that much, and possibly the sombra hack on teammates but not too sure about that one

[@royalkiller2]

Imagine being able to select normal rein or mirrored rein in normal qp and all the hero’s get to pick variations.

[@Anewlevel0091]

They gave Mercy Corpse explosion from Diablo 4 lol?

[@jacobhamilton2413]

[@Nonjask]

Just so you guys know the slicers bastion spawns also gives free ult charge to them because they give charge for damaging them

[@TheDarkPeasant]

And for your team healing them

[@foxbow3889]

As a zen main, I'm a big fan of my ''get out of jail free card'' that is transcendance, but I really liked my'zen with an EMP

[@markstewardson4006]

I liked the orb changes giving the discord a weak dot effect and granting additional heals for damage done would be great changes. Plus it gives Zen options rather than default to discord tank instead you can discord a flanker to put them on a timer

[@qualityarsenic3922]

I do hope some of these changes become actual reworks for characters. Only some of them though. Other ones are just too nuts. 😅

[@nielsmelgaardlassen668]

i like the gamemode, just feels like it gets boring after a couple games. they could've put a bit more heroes in it

[@sssspider]

I was hoping for evil Lucio that gives enemies slowness or reduced healing

[@markstewardson4006]

I guess they will see how people like it and if it's popular it goes from there

[@Jaded_Jinx]

I'd like that. Maybe Junker Genji's blade will anti-heal enemies for every swing or Junker Symmetra's turrets now burn enemies they hit

[@MutatedAmerican]

Personally, for each of the heroes: -Doomfist: I know they won't really keep, but I love his new kit. The shout, shield, etc - all of it! I want it kept, but if not, I'd like a hero like that!; Ball not included >:( -Sombra: Honestly, I also know they won't keep it either, but this is also another one I'd keep. If anything, have his for a new support hero! -Widow: KEEP!!!!!! ALL OF IT!!!!!!! As a non-Widow player myself, this hits SO DIFFERENTLY!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! -Rein: Probably just keep his passives, including the shield breaking passive -Zarya: Nah, I'd skip it all. MAYBE the knockback, but that's it. That said, her ultimate is interesting for a new hero to have. -Ana: A hitscan Ana would be nice, potentially, and her nade change is awesome to have, but that's about it tbh -Brig: Imma say that I previous normal Brig all around despite the cool shield bash additions -Mercy: GIVE IT TO ANOTHER! No, seriously. Her kit seems cool for a new hero, though maybe work on the corpse detonation as it can be a bit too much -Zen: Probably like Brig and just keep him as is -Bastion: I actually like shotgun Bastion more, though may not his Recon mode. But his ultimate is worth coming back to- maybe not to Bastion, but for someone else! -Echo: Revert it to who she is. I don't like her changes -Tracer: I think her new Blink is cool, but that's about it. I wouldn't want her changed either

[@ozmoses2492]

The fact that this isn't bastions real kit will probably be the reason I quit if they don't keep mirrorwatch

[@willwunsche6940]

I love they finally did the summoner hero concept at least in some sense

[@NuhUh7392]

The doom shout is hilarious, I never realized it was him doing it until i played him

[@kevin14games]

Yet another fun looking gamemode I won't be able to play, since I have no friends to play with

[@modernwarrior24]

[@DBTHEPLUG]

Just queue solo or use Discord?

[@jordanplanas176]

I actually really like the way Sombra plays in this mode. I've been saying for a while that Sombra should be a support character, and she pretty much feels like one in this mode.

[@MutatedAmerican]

Bro, the fact the Sombra cam hack a Rein and, ITS A POSITIVE THING, its wild

[@Dman1050]

I wonder if these rein changes would of been in the pve mode that got cancelled. Where they showed all the talent trees. Like these feels like things that would have been in Rein's damage tree

[@miragemain105]

Sombra and Rein changes are actually pretty good, not too powerful, not too weak, Sombra being a support based Dps makes her way less annoying and more helpful for the most part and Reins portable bap wall shield isnt soo powerful that its oppressive but just powerful enough that it creates better space and forces enemies to rush around rather than being able to just walk up like most scenarios

[@JustaBoredRat]

I would love these to be alternative picks for normal. something to unlock, would give blizzard more ammo without having to make new characters. just take old characters, give them new abilities and an unlock condition then, boom "fun". Honestly the new Sombra is the most fun i've had with her since her release this dps/support playstyle is Bonkers. new heros are free, Mirrors are unlocks.

[@uhalicia]

[@daviddiett2168]

Not a horse in sight, Doom is still a pain in the arse, Support Sombra kinda works, Bastion is still fun, Ana feels great to play again and Mercy is nuts. I'd like to see some of these ideas in reworks or on a new hero, imagine LW if he was able to give overhealth or shields like Mirror Sombra can to help make him more proactive. I hope we get a patch before the mid-season, this was a fun distraction while the current live game stagnates.

​@@xDjembex there are almost ZERO PvE aspects in this game mode. They've done these wacky game modes since overwatch 1 launched.

[@dragonmaster951753]

​@NumbBridger for pve there would be different branches of abilities. They had some stuff boarded but nothing completed and this could have been some of the "evolved" powers some of the characters have. Like mercy changes here feel exactly like a power up for pve. Ana primary feels like a mod upgrade to include crit. Rein shield is just upgraded with a damage boost included. Definitely upgrades to their kits. Some may go live. Ana could use crits
