- #14: Welcome Home, Ana.Blizzard has finally unveiled their latest character: Ana. PC players were able to take her for a test drive last week on the PTR, and that includes us. In this episode we'll talk about Ana, how she plays, and what we expect from her in the future. We also discuss upcoming changes to D.Va and Zenyatta that make them viable for serious play again. This week's Watchpointers focuses on Symmetra. When used correctly she can be a force to be reckoned with on defense... or she can be a complete joke if you don't know how to play her. We're here to make sure that doesn't happen. That and more on this episode.

At the same time, there are a lot of people who are playing competitive mode with the wrong mind set, a selfish mindset, that ruins the experience for both them and their team mates. We discuss that on this episode as well as talk about recent changes made to sudden death, future changes coming to hybrid and escort maps in competitive, and finally we talk about busting tanks.

Match making doesn’t feel like it matches evenly, you lose a lot with losses, but only gain a bit from wins, and netcode is still a problem. Maybe Blizz should have kept it in PTR longer? We also discuss, upcoming patches, nerfs, and mourn the loss of the “Avoid This Player” feature.

He's been cut back a bit, not as effective against tanks, but just as lethal for everyone else. Widowmaker also got hit with the nerf hammer, but the effects appear to be well recieved. Lots of communication coming from Blizzard about future plans and patches. Competitive mode is on the horizon, and Jeff drops some details on the changes since beta. On this week's Watchpointers we talk counter picking for quite some time. All this, plus more on this week's Watchpoint Radio.

Twitter: twitter.com/themashnetworkDiscord: mash.gg/discord1 hr 2 min - #10: There Are No Tiers In OverwatchLong episode this week. Overwatch has only been out for two weeks, but it seems a lot his happening. Since the games release we’ve seen a ton of “Tier Lists”. We are here to remind you that Overwatch has no tiers. Rumors are flying around the about the first DLC and two new characters we will see. Not much is known about one, but Jarret is making predictions about the other. Nerfs for McCree and buffs for D.Va are also on the way, and we’re just hoping McCree gets the nerfs he needs and not just an overall damage nerf. Blizzard drops the ban hammer on cheaters, and it looks like they get rebanned even with new accounts. We also talk about hitbox sizes, how many people are playing Overwatch, Loot Box drop rates, and more on this episode.

Twitter: twitter.com/themashnetworkDiscord: mash.gg/discord1 hr 8 min - SE: Console LoveSo we weren't able to record with the guys from Double Tap this week for episode 8.5 as promised, but I did have a chance to sit down with John from In Orbit to talk a bit about Overwatch from a console players perspective. Overwatch is something VERY new to console players, as most of them have never been exposed to a team based shooter of this nature. We talk about his initial thoughts, what he likes and doesn't, a few differences between console and PC, challenges console players will be facing, and more.

Twitter: twitter.com/themashnetworkDiscord: mash.gg/discord52 min - #8: Teamwork Makes The Dream WorkOverwatch Open Beta has come to a close and gave us a preview of what it's going to be like to play with a player base that's completely new to the game. As expected, we saw a lot of players having trouble adjusting to the characters, but what is more worry some is we saw a distinct lack of teamwork; making solo queuing very frustrating. This was even more obvious on the console side of the beta, where the lack of teamwork and confusion lead to Bastion being at godlike status for this open beta. We discuss our thoughts on the open beta in depth, as well as bring up netcode again, dive into the latest Overwatch story content, and more.

As Blizzard prepares for open beta and launch, they delivered more Overwatch lore content in the “Train Hopper” comic. Gamespot also released a three part series diving into the making of Overwatch. We discuss what we thought about both the comic and the making-of series. We also get into the final set of patch notes before Beta closed and what to expect with the upcoming open beta.
