They would've to make an new map with water, and that's apparently too much work.
Better make an uninteresting hero which throws fucking piss.

Because they copied Team Fortress 2 but didn't want to do it directly so they did the opposite.

Instead of Pyro they have Mei or whatever... Fire versus Ice.

It does, but unsurprisingly, it makes gameplay and flow slower.

why doesnt TF2 have an icethrower class

Fun fact road hog was supposed to have one instead of a shotgun when he was still being designed
I’ll never forgive blizard for this

Also don't' think a flamethrower is quite in keeping with the more...family friendly tone of Overwatch if that makes sense? It's no surprise Overwatch doesn't have dismemberment either, can't imagine chopping off the head of Tracer etc. The 'banter' in Overwatch also plays it very safe.

Aren't they still adding characters? They could yet.

>being frozen in place while this bitch lines up to shoot you
>family-friendly

Coupled with his mask, it would've made the copying too obvious I presume.

Best flamethrower coming through.

Its certainly more family friendly than being burned alive or dismembered.

Why is overwatch a shit game?

this. almost every ow hero is a tf2 subclass.

Yeah I love being executed for being a capitalist spy.

>american education
lmao

I don't know about that, seems just as cruel but without frozen chunks flying around. And fact that mei acts like giggling innocent girl doesn't help either

>I'm melting!!

>ackshully those people are Vietnamese, not Chinese
Thank you for enlightening me

>Ana
>uninteresting
???

Ana doesn't throw piss? I'm talking about Moira.

Moira spews piss, Ana throws her piss jar.

I wish more games had a flamethrower that wasn't shit. I love watching people burn to death.
Really, I just love DoTs.

>hating piss wizard
She's pretty fun, better than orisa or doomfist that's for sure

Maybe if you really think about it but from a visual standpoint I dont think you can compare comically being frozen in a block of ice to being set on fire and burned to a cinder. Shit is there even blood in Overwatch?

Fine by me.
It's still uninteresting compared with the shitloads of interesting heroes the community made.

Pyro > Mei

>Orisa
>Bastion
>Rein
>Combo

What do Sup Forums ?

I fail to see how frozen effect is funny, especially when you know what's coming after that. In tf2 you can at least hear spy go "i do believe i am on fire" in completely calm voice, that's pretty comical.
There's no blood, even in cinematics though they have warnings and all that shit.

no, ackshually, the guy in the photo was executed because he was a murderer

Same thing

because it's still a new game. they will add a close range flamethrower guy... eventually

The lines in TF2 may be comical but they always have at least a little bit of edge, the one you sighted without exception.

Gun to my head pic related is safer than TF2's flamethrower.

They'd probably make the Fire Hero do shitty amounts of damage, little to no afterburn, give it some shitty ability to throw a molotov cocktail and add an instant "deal damage to anyone around me" button.
Then the ultimate would be being engulfed in a ball of flame that reduces damage by 80%.

Heavy,

Fire is just a DoT that you can dispel, nothing special about it

On the cart? Pulse bomb it.

You want to counter that team with a team that focuses on close quarters brawling. Full dive would work or something like reaper genji zarya dva
