"They have chickens!" is now a valid Overwatch callout

You know it's really an alternate reality gamemode because Rein is actually fun to play in it.

The slicers from Bastion make me think there is going to be a summoner hero coming.

Fun fact: you can inifinite blink around the spawnroom as tracer in this mode

They gotta bring some of the Rein changes to the main game, honestly.

The chickens were able to push the kart 5:40

The corpse explosion is a legit menace, especially during intense team fights. And together with Mercy's ult it turns into a nightmare to deal with. A Pharah with infinite ammo and complete control over her movement, who can explode dead people for like 200 damage a pop, constantly regenerating health and having a jet boost every 1.5 seconds. The new Mercy is extreme fun.

The red explode is actually kinda crazy if you use it right.

My only complaint is mercy yelling “Heroes Never Die!” In her ult still-3-

Flats getting so excited about healing the chicken vs helping emogg made me so happy hahaha

Bro, The Sombra change should be the real game lmao

@Flats, did You KNEW Bastion's new ultimate lil minions can be used to push the payload?! Neither me or enemy Bastion did, until he ulted and our team almost LOST second point in Junkertown, because those little fuckers stick to it and PUSH it! Insane xD

I'm such a big fan of Widow's "weak spot" ultimate, I think they should legitimately bring it into main game.

This gamemode is absolutely the best, im in love with it so much, going full swing as rein with a sombra pocket, having sombra as a SUPPORT CHARACTER IS SO GOOD! as an ana main the changes for her are just so good, going full dps while having a hanzo dash is just the best, the mercy explosion is just absolutely hilarious, whether it be done to my team or theres its just amazing, bastion actually feels better, hes not just a turret only type character and actually is more fair, his ult is just great, having minions in the backline while you dive the front is great, tracer zarya are kind of niche, the brig pull is fucking hilarious, especially when all i think of is "GET OVER HERE" the gamemode is just the best

The rein changes except for the shatter and shield definitely need to happen in the live game

😭😭😭 “thanks obama :)” I NEARLY FELL OVER THAT WAS SO RANDOM

The Rein shield destroy movement speed buff needs to be in the game

The first minute when he said he can't find a use for mercy rez, I'm just going to wait to see if he kills anyone with ot because it's incredibly useful when a team fight is happening and you can finish off people or displace them

Zarya basically got her second ultimate ability from Heroes of the Storm.

Flats’ mercy hurts my soul, metaphorically and literally, explosions hurt too.

I get the impression that what they are trying to eventually do, is to have all the heroes with two versions, then perhaps it could be a good versus evil for every fight, and you wouldn't have identical heroes

They gave Mercy Corpse explosion from Diablo 4 lol?

I do hope some of these changes become actual reworks for characters. Only some of them though. Other ones are just too nuts. 😅

Things I really like in mirrorwatch that I think could be implemented without hurting the balance to bad… Ana lunge, widow mini shield, bastions ult however maybe for a future hero doesn’t suit bastion that much, and possibly the sombra hack on teammates but not too sure about that one

i like the gamemode, just feels like it gets boring after a couple games. they could've put a bit more heroes in it

Flank Bastion feels so good with this setup. Bomb jump up to high ground, use walls to rush down supports in the backline, then clean up the front.

“Blows up soul with mind.” “My f*ckin soul”

11:55 That is EXACTLY the same thought I had. Ruben hit it right on the head. "Could this be some of what they had in stock?" They're *amazing* changes. It feels really fun, different, and new. Sure it'll get old because of the limited hero pool, but the possibilities are all THERE...

The doomfist changes are actually amazing, and they should be implemented into the game

I love they finally did the summoner hero concept at least in some sense

Flats sounds so happy when he realizes he can heal the chickens

As a zen main, I'm a big fan of my ''get out of jail free card'' that is transcendance, but I really liked my'zen with an EMP

Imagine being able to select normal rein or mirrored rein in normal qp and all the hero’s get to pick variations.

The doom shout is hilarious, I never realized it was him doing it until i played him

Just so you guys know the slicers bastion spawns also gives free ult charge to them because they give charge for damaging them

Personally, for each of the heroes: -Doomfist: I know they won't really keep, but I love his new kit. The shout, shield, etc - all of it! I want it kept, but if not, I'd like a hero like that!; Ball not included >:( -Sombra: Honestly, I also know they won't keep it either, but this is also another one I'd keep. If anything, have his for a new support hero! -Widow: KEEP!!!!!! ALL OF IT!!!!!!! As a non-Widow player myself, this hits SO DIFFERENTLY!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! -Rein: Probably just keep his passives, including the shield breaking passive -Zarya: Nah, I'd skip it all. MAYBE the knockback, but that's it. That said, her ultimate is interesting for a new hero to have. -Ana: A hitscan Ana would be nice, potentially, and her nade change is awesome to have, but that's about it tbh -Brig: Imma say that I previous normal Brig all around despite the cool shield bash additions -Mercy: GIVE IT TO ANOTHER! No, seriously. Her kit seems cool for a new hero, though maybe work on the corpse detonation as it can be a bit too much -Zen: Probably like Brig and just keep him as is -Bastion: I actually like shotgun Bastion more, though may not his Recon mode. But his ultimate is worth coming back to- maybe not to Bastion, but for someone else! -Echo: Revert it to who she is. I don't like her changes -Tracer: I think her new Blink is cool, but that's about it. I wouldn't want her changed either

i think they got accurate changes and now i want this in the actual game.

Yet another fun looking gamemode I won't be able to play, since I have no friends to play with

They were cookin with some of these changes

Not a horse in sight, Doom is still a pain in the arse, Support Sombra kinda works, Bastion is still fun, Ana feels great to play again and Mercy is nuts. I'd like to see some of these ideas in reworks or on a new hero, imagine LW if he was able to give overhealth or shields like Mirror Sombra can to help make him more proactive. I hope we get a patch before the mid-season, this was a fun distraction while the current live game stagnates.

The Ana jump and the mercy soul crush would be so freaking good if it was in main game

I would love these to be alternative picks for normal. something to unlock, would give blizzard more ammo without having to make new characters. just take old characters, give them new abilities and an unlock condition then, boom "fun". Honestly the new Sombra is the most fun i've had with her since her release this dps/support playstyle is Bonkers. new heros are free, Mirrors are unlocks.

Using Lorule theme from Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds as the background music in the game mode about an reverse world. I see what you did there

The Ana changes are amazing, I hope some of these filter in to the normal game modes and become real changes.

Hey flats do to the Event, do you think multiple characters should have different skills sets based on their skin?

Bro, the fact the Sombra cam hack a Rein and, ITS A POSITIVE THING, its wild

I like this trio of flats emongg and Ruben!

Arise, chicken. Chicken, arise!

Sombra and Rein changes are actually pretty good, not too powerful, not too weak, Sombra being a support based Dps makes her way less annoying and more helpful for the most part and Reins portable bap wall shield isnt soo powerful that its oppressive but just powerful enough that it creates better space and forces enemies to rush around rather than being able to just walk up like most scenarios

Im so ready for this game mode

The thing I'm hoping for is that Brig pull ability being added to a melee character in main game. I think that would be fun

My team always consists of a widowmaker not doing anything and me being stuck on tank with 3 of the worst tanks for me. But i have to in order to complete the challenges. I main orisa or dva or junker queen. Reinhart is the only one that feels comfortable but his rush is slow and telling its so difficult to pin someone

i wonder if some of these abilities are testing possible reworks

babe wakeup flats posted

I wish this was the main game, Ana's change are so good.

Can't wait for flats' gym arc

Mercy is actually insane in this mode, saw a dude go 30-2 on junkertown as mercy, it was insane

the ana changes are sooo fun.

I’m really hoping that this event is a soft test for some buff ideas.

This should be good. I haven’t played this yet. Now I want to

The windows specifies it work only on projectiles

ye, lijang on the bridge works, i did it and knocked the enemy team off

The rein changes besides the shatter and the shield amplification matrix need to come to the live game, we also need a hero that has some sought of Ai that moves around and attacks

I’ve gotten potg with mercy off of the bombs alone lmaooogot a 3k with bomb. If they’re half half and near a bomb it’ll most likely kill them since it has a decent aoe

Damage boosting is the best thing to do as mercy in this mode. its so fun

i need these things for rein beside straight line shatter

I actually really like the way Sombra plays in this mode. I've been saying for a while that Sombra should be a support character, and she pretty much feels like one in this mode.

Played a game where the enemy mercy got POTG by getting a triple kill off a rez.. 😢

I'm rooting for the chickens

Love your vids

That Bastion ult is so much more fun

Second event in a row where they changed bastions modes and gave him a shotgun. It's almost like they're testing something 🤔

Bastion and rein changes should stay Sombra should be like a new future hero Slicers can give you ult charge

NOT THE CHICKENS 😭😂

they should let you give the chickens nicknames in game

Why do these things always feel like a secret test of things to come? Like it's never JUST something fun or new, and it has an ulterior motive.

Played support and felt so useless, almost like how tanks feel in regular.

Lets calm down flats 0:20 Dont give blizzard that much praise

Reinhardt wtih crossfade and ktisune minor is awesome

Rein needs the shield change, just remove the increased attack speed after each swing

the mercy ult should be put in the normal game honestly

They should totally keep the widow ult, or atleast incorporate it. Makes complete sense, super fitting and makers her ult more impactful.

Flats if you happen to see this when did you first start playing overwatch

As a mercy main the res ability needs to be in the game

I was hoping it'd have more characters tbh.

They should keep bastion ult tbh it feels useful now

Grav them away for the payload/capture point

“Luckily there’s a family guuuuuuuuy!”

The doom change should have been the doom we got in OW1

I think the chicken can push the cart

Chickens can touch point, we did it last night and it won us the game. That was the funniest shit

EMREMAIN? THEYRE JUST TROLLING US?

i feel this is what they missing after THE TRAILER THAT THEY SHOWN US 2020 i think

I hope this stays as a permanent game mode

Had a mercy kill me like 13 times cause the exploding thing shits op against tracers

The chicken ult would be better than his actual ult tbh

I wonder if these rein changes would of been in the pve mode that got cancelled. Where they showed all the talent trees. Like these feels like things that would have been in Rein's damage tree

0:36 Oops

Please welcome battle mercy 2.0

12:55 HAM!
