the sweetest symmetra main

It snowed by my house, so I’m getting a head start on holiday ship art before I inevitably forget and wonder where the time went

-Basically nothing on pvp changes except for some things they’re experimenting with, like giving heros passive abilities based on class and making tanks more aggressive

-2cp is going away, lol

-Adding story mode missions, though we don’t have much info on them

-new maps of course, including rome and new york

-certain pve/story mode missions will include varying weather conditions like sandstorms and snowstorms

-the characters have new looks, though only four were “officially” released (widow, mccree, pharah, reaper). Widow’s suit looks bad, McCree is several shades lighter for some reason, soldier has a beard.

-TONS of new pve

-pve now includes an entire skill tree system where you level up individual heros, adding abilities they could never add into pvp, ect, ect, making your own build. One of the devs straight up compares it to rpg skill tree systems

-new ai enemies for pve

-As far as I can tell story mode missions are completely different from pve/hero missions

Overwatch 2 looks for Widowmaker, Reaper, McCree, and Pharah
