Into the Iris - An Overwatch Podcast

Do you play Overwatch? Do you like Symmetra but wish she was a little more fun to play? Do you wish you could use her more often without getting flamed by your team?

Do we have good news for you! Symmetra is getting a huge update! New abilities, bigger weapon range, DOUBLE ULTS! IT'S GETTING CRAZY UP IN HERE.

All that and you get to listen to DJ slowly dying! I mean...I guess that's not great. But. He's here and that's something right? That shows dedication.

Didn't get enough Sombra? Neither did we!

We ran over her kit last week BUT THERE'S MORE TO LEARN. What can she hack? What CAN'T she hack? We run down every hero in detail and how she interacts with each one so you'll be prepared both to play as and play against the sassy latina hacker. 

Also Rudeism is up to his usual tricks, Pharah gets a boost...uh...boost. And our best Mojo impressions. He's not here, but you'd barely miss him.

Blizzards worse kept secret has finally been revealed.

SOMBRA IS HERE! She's here and ready to hack everything. Yes, even you. We discuss her kits (awesome) her design (fantastic) and discuss how we think she's going to affect the game (disruptive!)

That's not all that came out of Blizzcon though, there's also the soon to be added Arcade and, what might be the biggest news, the introduction of the Overwatch League. Blizzard is getting crazy ambitious and crazy invested in Overwatch as an esport and we couldn't be more excited.

Blizzard has graced us with PTR changes and you're gonna wanna buckle up sister, cause there's a lot of em.

We briefly cover some fun stuff like a dude what plays the game with crazy controllers like a nerf bow, and Jeff Kaplan gives Mojo a reason to yell about gatekeepers again.

Then it's on to the PTR discussion. Do you think D.Va could use a buff? Blizzard does. Does Mojo agree? He'll tell you. And he won't stop telling you. For about an hour.

Other heroes get some nerfs and buffs and berfs and we cover everything that's been revealed thus far. Some big changes. You'll wanna hear em.

DR. JUNKENSTEIN IS COMING FOR YOU!

Do you have what it takes to survive? We're all about the Halloween event this week, all the fun goodies and the new Brawl, Dr. Junkenstein's Revenge. Do we like it? Do we hate it? Spoiler, we like it.

After that we get a little more serious. It's time to talk about toxicity. Being that Overwatch is an online multiplayer game, it's a thing that we have to deal with unfortunately. How do you deal with it? How do you keep from being toxic? Give this a listen maybe we can help. Bill and Ted said it best. Be excellent to each other.

I'm not gonna make any Junkrat puns. I will not. I already made one in the subtitle and that was too much. I wish I could tell you we got through the podcast without any. I wish I could. But I cannot.

This IS the Junkrat Hero Breakdown. If you love the explosives obsessed nutso from Australia like we do, this is the episode for you. We breakdown his kit and all the tips and tricks you need to get the most out of him. When to use him, how to use him. All that good stuff.

We also cover the Halloween event rumors...which...I mean...that stuff's out now by the time you listen to this (that Mercy skin omg)so...diminishing returns on that stuff, but hey it's still your favorite Overwatch podcasters talking about it so that's still great right? Right?

WE'RE MAD AS HELL AND WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE

We're peeved this episode. So peeved. And this time it's not DJ's fault. We're all about discussing things that make us go grrrr in this game. But there's a positive spin to it! We need to talk about things players do wrong, in order to talk about what you should do right, right?

Right?

Not only that, we've got a special guest! Cargen from Tforce GG is joining us to lend his podcasting and Overwatch expertise. Fun AND informative!

What does one say about this episode. It is both the best of shows, and it is the worst of shows. I'm just gonna give it to you straight.

After we briefly talk about the viability or need of a minimap for Overwatch, we dive into Lucio. We've spent enough time telling you how great he is, we might as well lay out why, right? We cover everything from the basics and the numbers involved, all the way to tips and tricks to maximize your play and to help carry your team to victory. 

On the other hand, there are puns. So many puns. DJ puns. Drake related puns. I'm just warning you now what you're in for. If you don't unsubscribe after this episode, we love you. We'll always love you.

ALSO WE FINALLY HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS! We'd love to hear what you think!

We cover the second part of PostiveNonsense's Reddit thread aimed at new players and break down some basics to help you climb in ranked play. You gotta learn the fundamentals! That's what every coach will tell you! So basically we're like coaches. I feel like somebody should be paying me.

Are you ready? No? Well that's fine cause we're here to help! Episode 6 is aimed at newer players and all about ranked play. We've got some real great basic tips and tricks to help you start your climb. You gotta walk before you can run, right? And you gotta run before you can wall run into dragon strike wipe a team #JustGenjiThings. Definitely don't miss this one.

Before we get into that we discuss some of our experiences with the PTR changes including Hanzo and Mei and what we think of the new map Winstons Jungle Gym aka Eichenwalde.

Also, DJ continues to infuriate Snaggle. What else is new?
