Overwatch getting Workshop Mode

According to Kaplan, there's no possibility of importing exterior art though, and it's no map editor, but I'm still hopeful that some interesting things (perhaps even in the mind-control department, who knows?) will come about.

This is some great news to wake up to!

I really like there is a The Floor Is Lava Mode*, and that would probably push me to buy if I wasn't so adverse to FPS.

*Insert some useless gripe about PharMercy comps being OP

A very interesting idea; hard to say how much use it'll see in practice, but the fact that it's even being tried is genuinely cool.

Eh that pairing is not all that OP anymore lol, except in casuals and low ladder. That is however, where most players reside.

There's a nice roundup of some of the stuff that's already been tried here: youtu.be/ggRDR1_Jm4U?t=592

I'm just glad there's a gungame game mode finally. (If anyone's unfamiliar, gungame came from counterstrike, where each time you got a kill your gun would be replaced by the next gun in the list - first to get a kill with each wins the round. Now imagine that but with swapping to a different OW hero each time you got a kill.)

How can it hit the MC market if we cant export exterior art?

I dunno, I'm just sharing my hopes is all. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I daresay if there's a community out there that's capable of using Overwatch characters for... unintended purposes, it's the Overwatch community.

I'm pretty sure that everyone who has wanted to export Overwatch assets has the means or access to them by now. Importing assets into Overwatch is probably banned to prevent rights issues

I have no idea how to code but here's a MC related mode idea:
A deathmatch-style mode where everyone is equipped with a variant of Mei's freeze gun. The way the gun usually works is that is fires a short range spray of cryogenic liquid that can freeze a person solid if you hose down a single target for about two-ish seconds.

In this mode is a hypo ray that, instead of freezing the target, switches him/her from player controlled to an AI ally. The goal is to be the one with all 7 opponents under your control.

Maybe this can Workshop the power outage in Dallas.

That's actually not bad.
