You can make custom games for Junkenstein's Revenge.

I like to do Torbjorn Tower Defense. 6 Torbs vs Legendary Endless.

As Reinhardt getting bubbled by Zarya, while I'm already holding shield up.  My reaction time is not fast enough to make any use of that bubble.

The bubble extends slightly beyond your shield so the Zarya probably still got charge from it and your team is better off with your shield up anyway. Don't worry. In my case, I tend to accidentally bubble Rein when trying to protect someone in front of his shield, so the Zarya might not even expect you to do anything.

Huh, when you about to win the 2nd round after the first, but 1 person leaves and everything completely falls apart the rest of the time.
Then, another game, somehow your team barely gains 3 points, but one of the enemy ragequits.  You know your team was doing pretty damned bad and they know we were horribad.  But we just somehow stumbled through.  Next round, we are basically getting rolled in a 5v6, but another leaves as soon as their timer passed 2 minutes, becoming a 4v6.  We died a lot more then we were killing, somehow only barely manage to shut them out with 0 points.

It is kinda weird, how a team just... clicks and then they start rolling and can't be stopped.   It happens a heck of a lot, both ways. 
There are times where I can't do anything but hold up my shields(or melt[and melt anyways]) and other times, I have the room to go in swinging like a madman.
On another note, I've dropped into the 1300s copper and then somehow raised back up to 1500s silver.  I was really expecting to lose more then I won, staying down in copper.

A new hero was announced, Moira. Talon support with Sym's primary as her damage source, Mei's primary as her heal source, and kamehameha that both deals damage and heals as her ult. Can fire bouncing heal and damage orbs and has a short range near-instant teleport.

I'm curious if you'll be able to solo heal with her. She has a lot of healing potential, but her primary heal has a resource meter like Bastion's; she can't heal forever. After that she can only ult or use her 10s cooldown heal orb to help her team. She also has a lot of offensive potential that can't be put to much use if you're trying to heal your allies. I think she'll be a mostly offensive hero that can bring clutch heals to people about to die or at the start of a teamfight - she'd pair well with Lucio, but I'm not sure if you'd want to give up her damage to solo heal a la Mercy.

After seeing some gameplay, I have to feel bad for Genji players; she's as direct a counter to Genji as you could possibly hope for. Not only can she autoaim you like Sym, but she also can teleport onto you if you try to dash away. Did I mention her weapon also heals her as it damages you? I wouldn't go near her without dragonblade, and even then I wouldn't do it in an enclosed space. On the other side of the spectrum, Pharah mains can rejoice - this is yet another hero that can't do a thing to you. It feels like every patch contains an indirect Pharah buff, now.

Yay, an evil hero finally. Now it's possible to have a fight that actually semi-makes sense in the lore where the "bad guys" don't just get fucked because there are no evil medics in the world.
yes this is more important than game balance

There's a new hero, new map announced, more skins shown, the world cup, and a new cinematic.

These past couple of days have been pretty big for OW

Say what you want about overwatch's loot box system being toxic, and making other developers realize they can get away with it, but goddamn if they don't know how to make a good short.

New Reinhardt 2 hammer ult when?

The first half of the short perfectly portrays how I play Rectangle Reinhardt.  I'm going around hammering shit, meanwhile the rest of my team is alone and probably dying.

The whole time watching I was wondering if they were secretly taking a jab at the playerbase, which is a good idea in my opinion. As a berserker rein, I was able to laugh at myself.

Chargehardt is the most fun, so no way I can blame anyone for that.

For Glory!  And maybe some honor along the way.

EDIT: They've definitely got "The Barrier is Failing" right.  Cause Bastion.

Moira just dropped on the PTR. I haven't been able to queue into a quickplay game to see how she fairs, but I think her character design is alright, just her voice seems... off to me. Might grow to like it though.

I've been playing Rein a lot more after the animated short. I'm a poser. But damn, that new skin will look awesome (his armor from the short).

Overwatch stresses me the hell out though.

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

It's been a good two or three weeks since I've played. I play comp almost exclusively, but the levels of toxicity have reached almost too high for me to deal with. I'm almost exclusively Lucio  (attack or capture) or Zen (Defending or Pharmercy countering), but the three dps I seem to always get demand I be a character I've got six minutes playing. If I switch to mercy it's my fault when the team is losing, and if I don't then it's still my fault.

I just wish people could understand that it's possible for a Lucio to solo heal, especially against a team who isn't focus firing.
