Shimada is the name of the clan based on the name of the family. Hanzo hasn't used his sword since he fought Genji. Genji's melee/Lshift is his wakizashi, a short version of the katana (so not a dagger but more of a short-sword), usually worn in a set by the samurai. There, I weebed for you.

Lore thing: Hanzo was trained in the sword, but he gave it up when he was forced to 'kill' Genji. You can see the sword on the Hanamura map, one is missing (Genji's) but a blue-sheathed sword is still present. Hanzo refused to take it with him since he forsook his clan.

Swift Strike: Genji darts forward, slashing with his wakizashi and passing through foes in his path. If Genji eliminates a target, he can instantly use this ability again. The wakizashi is a sword, he also uses it for deflecting. But he uses a sword in his swift strike and in his ultimate.

Hi, I actually know things about lore. I can answer a few of your questions - sojourn is confirmed for OW2 -In dev update Jeff said to pay attention to the graffiti in the new map. The only prominent graffiti on the map is the spray with a fox. There are many hints pointing at the daughter of the rival gang in town being a fox based character. -Last year, Jeff is the one who said "We won't be getting anymore new heroes to Overwatch 1 this year." Worded in such a way that releasing a hero in 2021 is still a possibility. -there are hints in the story basically telling us something is going to happen with OW irl when the cherry blossoms bloom. (For those unaware, they only bloom for a few weeks in spring) -some speculate that we will have a new Fox girl hero revealed this spring when the cherry blossoms bloom Questions?

So for this "new character", she would probably be the daughter of the author of the letter. Her identity is purposefully kept very discreet since the author refers to her as "our daughter". And mostly likely, she'd have some kind of illusion ability since foxes (kitsune in Japanese, nice try Bren) are known for their illusions in Japanese mythology. And before this story and Kanezaka came out, there were already rumors of a hero with a fox theme/companion. If a new character doesn't come of it, it might be a story mission for OW2.

I think, and this may be a bonkers take, that teams which have to constantly play at high ping(london&paris) may find themselves at an advantage. They will find compositions and strats where ping plays a more minor role, and will be able to practice those against teams who have to play on high ping much more infrequently. This could lead to some sneaky big wins in perhaps the middle third of the season

My choice would be something more recent but I'd love to watch peak GOATS with Shock vs Titans honestly.

I played sigma for a bit on this experimental patch, and what I found was I had less vision and was forced to use cover more to wait for my shield. Cool thing about rein is the third person view you can see around corners and stuff where in "real life" or if there was no first person view he'd have the shield up and be staring at a wall. That 'shield vision is one of the most useful parts of reinhardt. Previously as sigma, I could stand out in the open more and take a few bits of damage because my shield was coming back in 1 second to redeploy (obviously not at full health but thats not the point).

The problem with sigma is the same thing that was the problem at release. He does too much. He is a shield tank, he has CC, he has a personal defense matrix in the form of kinetic grasp that gives him extra shields, and he has an decent ultimate. He was badly designed. The best designed heroes have clear weaknesses and strengths.

I feel like if you gave sigma 1000-1200 hp barrier and removed grasp he would be fine. Having to shoot shield, then wait for his infinite damage eat ability to end, then having to shoot shield again, then having to shoot his added hp pool just makes it so hard to force a sigma out of his corner or keep him from pushing.

Might be a hot take, but I think the constant nature of an OWL season hurts the progression of the meta. If there were a number of weeks between sets of games, teams would be more inclined to invest some time in straying away from the meta. Instead, teams have less than a week to scrim and prepare for their next games. It doesn't make sense for them to try to reinvent the meta when they're trying to place well for the stage playoffs.
