Give torb the Valkyrie ultimate. No reason why but like imagine : IM SVEDISH *swoops down and hits you with stupid tiny hammer*

[RyanByrd]

Sombra: "Hack the planet
Genji: "I've forgotten how to jump"

[ChrisRamsay]

Torb buff will take toxicity to a whole new level... Can't wait!

Jeff Kaplan is the greatest spokesperson ive seen. His awareness and ability to meme is amazing

Sombra Boost tip: If sombra hacks a torbjörn turret the turret would start shooting the other team. Beacuse it is pretty hard to hack a torbjörn turret beacuse if she takes damage the hack cancels. And the Torbjörn turret placement would be more tactical. I think that would be pretty cool.

The ability to cancel translocator would be awesome

[danadedgrl]

They’re helping Mei which means more suffering.

[OutlawsOW]

We were hoping to see that Torbjorn could wallrun :(

[gautamsunil]

Increasing duration of freeze.
Get ready for a ni hao compilation.

[proquickscoper]

sombra should be able to cancel her translocator, so if she misses she could cancel and didn't have to wait till it gets destroyed itself, then wait for cooldown

[Yervy]

just let torbjorn fly, with jet pack wings and lasers for hands ok it's settled

[daniboii]

Well there gonna increase freeze and my suffering.

[Aryanne_v]

The only person I need on Valentine's day.

[SuperNerdDaniel]

Faster hack? More Abilities affected by hacking? Decreased damage spread? Increased Translocator beacon duration time? **THANK YOU BASED JEFF.**



(Still gonna miss that Ult charge from the hacked health packs, though, tbh.)

For Hanzo I was thinking that they could keep sonic arrow and replace scatter with a shot that is fired in a curved trajectory, with the impact point being the crosshair. Hanzo actually does this in the Shimada bros. cinematic when curves an arrow at Genji. This way you can use sonic arrow to see through walls and around corners and then use the curved shot to try and land an arrow on them from around cover or a shield. Not to mention that this would be a great way to deal with people peaking from cover.

I simply love all the changes you guys do, for better or worse it makes it dynamic, giving a sense of fresh air to the game every couple months. Keep the great work guys!
