What's up guys I'm from Gamepadia we're
gonna begin with the Halloween terror event and I know some of you were thinking
wait a minute we're still in summer games while we get an info about Halloween
terror well Jeff Caplan got asked about the amount of Legendry’s and summer
games and if we can expect the same kind of thing in future events in the
Halloween terror and he said yesso we only got four legendries for summer games
a lot of people were disappointed by it and just the fact that it was recycled
material from the previous years and it looks like the same thing is gonna
happen for Halloween terror but here's the thing I'm totally ok with that and
this goes to what I said the other day which is that as long as they tell us
ahead of time hey the event is just gonna be kind of man it's kind of
lackluster because we're working on these other things that are gonna be released
around the same time then I'm totally fine with that I think that's how they
should be handling it the issue with the summer games was that we got dropped
this recycled event with less content than normal and people were upset about
it but then we got two other awesome things we got the roll cue and hero 31
Sigma so had they told us look we're just gonna give you a kind of math summer
games but two other awesome unconnected things later on really soon I think
everyone would have been fine with that and now they're telling us that exact
stuff for the Halloween terror which is that the Halloween terror event is
going to be met but we're going to get another big feature in like two months
and there are some other really big announcements that are gonna happen at
Blizzcon so that leads into the next thing Blizzcon really huge announcements
are coming not just for the overwatch game but for other stuff in general and I
think this is because of how bad last year's Blizzcon went where do you guys have
phones I mean that was just do you know how bad that was for those guys anyways
it does seem like Diablo 4 is going to be announced this year at Blizzcon and
also overwatch too and I put up little quotes for that one because it may not
be a sequel it might just be an expansion because while Blizzard does release
sequels they tend to favor releasing expansions instead and I do think that
whatever expansion that we get for overwatch would probably be some sort of
campaign mode I don't think it's gonna be single-player I do think it's going
to be more like a multiplayer campaign mode like the left4 dead games or the
other archives events that we normally get and to keep that hype train rolling
we did get confirmation of not one not two but three new characters two of
which might actually be in the later stages of development at this point so
with Jeff Caplan he told us that the character Sigma originally started out as
Mogga who we met in the Baptiste story that we had a little while ago and as
they were building the character they decided that you know this doesn't really
fit
the character profile of Mogga and instead they decided to just design an
entirely new character so we do know that Mogga has some kind of a barrier
shield which means that when he gets released of the game he will be you know a
fully tank you know a shield tank kind of character but they wanted to add all
of this other stuff so they ended up giving a Sigma first instead however another
person who works at Blizzard this is Joshua no he works as part of the character
design team he says that he's worked on three characters the first that has been
fully completed and released is the tank which is Sigma and then the other two
characters that he's worked on which from he didn't quite confirm any of it but
it sounded like they were in the very final stages of their development and one
of them is a dps and one of them is a support now we know that we're gonna be
getting more supports but the DPS thing might actually come as a surprise
because I've seen more than a few comments talking about how they're gonna stop
adding DPS or are they going to add any more DPS until it's balanced because if
you look at the wait times in the role queue the DPS is gonna have to wait a
lot longer and also they have a lot more characters available there are more
DPS than there are tank and support combined so the idea was that Blizzard was
gonna try to release lots and lots of supports and tanks in order to balance
that all out but I don't think that's the case and we do have this confirm now
that there is at least one more DPS what I think is gonna happen is they're
going to try to put out the most tanks and healers but they're still going to
release the yes it's not like they're just gonna completely forget about adding
any new characters to that role moving on to the brand new characters Sigma
there's a couple of things that I wanted to show you first of all if you didn't
know if you go to the Busan karaoke place he does in fact sing here's a quick
clip of that the other things for Sigma have to do with gameplay the first is
something that I had a whole bunch of people send me there was a bug with Sigma
where you could do a massive amount of damage very quickly you could
essentially take out a road hog in about one and a half two seconds and it was
just ridiculous so what would happen is whenever you were attacking you were
actually launching out instead of launching - you would launch four or six and
how it worked is you would hold down the primary attack and then you would
rapidly press you can probably hear me clicking you would rapidly press the right-click
which his the barrier and it would cause you to throw out more but as you can
see it doesn't do that anymore because well while I was recording the footage
for the bug they forced me to update the game it restarted and the bug had been
fixed so tad a the issue is no longer there I know a lot of people were aware of
it and which is why I'm even telling you about it because if it's been fixed why
bother right because a lot of people knew about it and also apparently whatever
they patched with this new update broke the training room on the PTR there's no
training room right now so I heard oh fix one thing something else breaks but
let me just show you on this road hog right here I'm gonna hold down left-click
and then rapidly press the right-click and as you can see it's just dealing the
normal damage if that had been the bug version he would already have been taken
out the other gameplay issue has to do with Sigma's ultimate and the fact that you
can not only accidentally leave the point yourself but you can also force the
enemy team off of it so in case you didn't know every capture point including
the payload has a certain vertical height limit this is why sometimes ferry's
will accidentally go too high and then they stop contesting or capturing and
you know it just becomes a disaster same thing with mercy and now the same
thing with Sigma so sometimes what people will do in order to try to contest a
point is they'll use his ultimate and then they fly way up in the air so that
they can't get damaged but what happens is they fly too high and then they're
no longer contesting the point
and the enemy just captures it for free so again
that's something to be aware of now the only other side you can also use his
ultimate to throw everybody up into the air and this works best on payloads
because everybody has to be really close to it so everyone is really close and then
you can hit all of them you throw them way up into the air and if the payload
has been contested for long enough right over time has gone long enough then
what happens is they just quickly lose their overtime and the match ends
because they can't touch it so in order to beat this you would have to have one
person standing away from the payload let everybody else get thrown up into the
air and then you would have to quickly move in while everyone is in the air to
stop this from happening even though this is cool it's not entirely unique
there are other characters that are able to do effectively the same thing I'm
thinking about Hammond Torbjorn with the molten quarry I mean you just cover
the whole cart in that lava and nobody can get near it either so there are a
bunch of other characters that can already do this sort of thing it's just now
Sigma can as well so it's just something to be aware of and of course the same characters
that can avoid the molten core damage are also able to avoid Sigma's ultimate
damage as well so reaper with wraith form may with ice block with IRISA she
actually does a better job against Sigma's ultimate then against the molten
core because she can fortify and just not be affected by Sigma ultimate but if
she's standing in the lava even though she's got 4 to 5 she's still gonna take
50% of the damage so she's actually a better pick to counter that little
strategy with Sigma salt than some of the other characters would be but it's
not like it's super overpowered other heroes can do it it's just something that
you need to be aware of and one other thing a lot of people are still unsure of
how Sigma's abilities will interact with other characters.
