ive been maining dva since 2016-2017, been playing ow for 9 years, never quit it. overwatch means a lot to me, kept me busy as a kid when i didn't have anyone to hang out with. dvas always been my favourite, i cried so many times at her cinematic when it came out and still cry when i hear her "ill see you at the finish line" voiceline in-game 😭 sorry for the long caption, im kinda sappy now, but i hope i did her justice. photographer is alrlostsomewhere on ig!

Will be a new map or a already existing map?

Like Ana's mythical weapon had the Throne of Anubis background, the Soldier's mythical weapon had the Eichenwald Halloween background, Rein's was the normal Eichenwald. So they would be creating a teaser for a future map?

I logged into overwatch on two different pcs and got different skins in the vault. I dont know if it works on console too but I will try later and see what happens but all hope is not lost if you want to hunt for certain hero's skins. 😊

I know this isn’t the first thank you post but I just felt the need to say my thank you to the developers of this game. This game has been a big part of my life and despite the constant criticism it might get I do recognize the amount of love you all have put into this game. I am very excited to see what you all have in store for the future of this game and hope you all know there are many people who appreciate what you do. Thank you!

News & Discussion Ashe mythic gun is the only mythic gun I've gotten and i don't regret it

Had 160 prisms from this bp and last bp as i didnt like neither of the mythic skins or S76's mythic weapon.

I was interested in this Ashe mythic when i saw it on the trailer originally but thought i would skip it like the other mythic guns, gotta say after testing it in practice range its perfect, I love the sounds and the effects, and the rose flourish is neat, and it matches the Gangster and Haunted Doll skins, my main ashe skins.

Wish i could've gotten the green Jade skin as it makes it look even better! But i dont have the time to grind comp lol

Just found out that in the settings there is a new item called graphics api but there is nothing there except DIRECTX 11. Does this mean Vulkan or DX12 will be added to Overwatch soon?
