Overwatch NEEDS These Things at Blizzcon 2018 | Culture of Gaming

Blizzcon is about to start this weekend and Overwatch is still one of the most popular games in the world. What should be announced at Blizzcon 2018?

Overwatch is one of my favorite games of all time. The characters are all endearing, the gameplay is fun, and the lore always has me asking Blizzard for more. That being said, Blizzard needs to make additions and changes to make it a better experience. These are the things Overwatch NEEDS to come out of Blizzcon 2018. Lord Jeff Kaplan please be kind, and leave your personal wish list in the comments below.

Competitive Changes

I believe it doesn’t need to be said that Competitive is the most popular mode in the game. The competitive mode is the only place to play both offense and defense and it feels like a more complete product when compared to Quick Play which is literally half the experience.

Overwatch’s lore is one of the most inviting things about the game. It’s not complicated, and all the characters are unique and interesting. Everyone can quickly choose a favorite to get behind. The last year or so has been extremely slow for the lore lovers though. Since last Blizzcon, we have received two of the very popular cinematic shorts. There were also practically no comics to progress the story. There is one lore event a year to give background on the past of these heroes, and that lasts for three weeks. Lore for Overwatch has essentially come to a standstill. An announcement of more lore events, or a series of animations would be amazing. I would also love a movie, but who knows if that will ever happen. There was also a cancelled comic from last year. Bringing a whole a series of comics would be great.

New Hero

We all know we are going to be getting a new hero for Overwatch. We get one every Blizzcon and the payload on Route 66 is hinting at new things to come that could involve the Deadlock Gang. What do we want from a new hero though? Healers are at a spot where any are acceptable in game with no “must-pick” (screw you Mercy). We definitely do not need another shield tank, and we just received a tank in Wrecking Ball. That only leaves the overwhelmingly represented damage. I honestly do not have an idea what kind of hero I want to see. Let me know what you want in the comments below.

That is my personal wish list for what I want to see from Overwatch at Blizzcon. What do you want to see? Tell us what gets you hyped for Blizzcon.
