[Aaron Keller] I don't know the exact headcount of the team. It's under one-hundred people, and it probably started closer to thirty or forty people before we ramped up to where we are now. The cool thing about the team is that everyone on it is such a high performer and so great at what they do. We have a core value at Blizzard called "Every Voice Matters," and a lot of people on the team are really passionate and outspoken, not just about [Overwatch short story] itself, but about things they'd like to see in the game. I think we have a really good collaborative environment where people feel like they can throw ideas out there and they'll be listened to. That's how we get a lot of personality into the game; our heroes have come from all over the place.
The thing is, playing nearly one-thousand hours of Modern Warfare 2 during my freshman year of college (sorry mom) burned me out on multiplayer games for a long time. Make no mistake, I've loved a great deal of multiplayer games over the years, but they always seem to either only stick with me during the first couple of weeks or fade out of my consciousness after I submit a review. Granted, this is partially due to the perils of being a multi-platform gamer with single-platform friends, yet there hasn't really been a multiplayer game since 2009 that has burrowed into my brain quite like Infinity Ward's last great game.
When it comes to characters with a high skill-ceiling, Zenyatta resides near the top of the list. A glass cannon with the ability to heal teammates, a good Zenyatta has the opportunity to completely shift a match in his team's favor, which is certainly a strong case for giving him a shot. Let's get his downsides out of the way right off of the bat: everyone's favorite robotic monk sports a mere 150 hitpoints and doesn't have any movement-based abilities or perks, making him an easy target when in the thick of battle. Still, his main weapon, the Orbs of Destruction, do a great deal of damage for a Support hero, as they can either be fired one-by-one with extreme accuracy, or charged up and fired (with the amount of orbs that are fired based upon how long the secondary fire button is held for). If you're the type of player that is really good at aiming your shots, consider giving Zenyatta a shot, as he is an absolute blast when played proficiently.
If you can go out of your way to make something (that could be deduced as) rather bonkers -- knowing full well when and where to walk that perilous line between genuine and forced humour -- you can at least walk away knowing players will credit you with falling into the "they made it even though they didn’t have to" sub-section. And believe me, alongside "surprisingly addictive" mini-games, 2D backgrounds and actual reflective mirrors, humour is another opportune asset that can go a long, long way to appreciating what said game actually stood for at the given time. Away from the regular check-list on what specifically to critique. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with having a game that's entirely, unapologetically dry, perhaps perceived initially as far from comedy as one can get -- narratively or otherwise. But, ironically, this is why a "one last thing"-type of satire or bit on the side, works far better than when it's already wrestling for attention amidst a game that not for one second takes itself seriously and is instead its own fuel for fun and folly. Even if it is for the intent to promote something else entirely (video game-related or not) I will commend any developer who’s willing, for example, to throw together the good guys, the bad guys and the in-between guys into some surreal comedy skit-meets-daily life send-off to a game’s campaign .
Early on in the project, our hero designer Jeff Goodman came to me and we had a couple conversations. During one of them, he said, "Just so you know, there's going to be a flying hero in the game, so just be prepared that people are going to be able to get anywhere on any of your maps." We've tried to keep that possibility open. Even when we were designing Temple of Anubis we knew that we really wanted there to be strong teamwork. In the first part of that map, there's a choke that each team needs to get through, and there are these big gates that are there before you get to the first control point. We very intentionally made it so that every hero has to funnel through that area. Certain heroes can bypass it pretty easily; Tracer can squeak through different areas and Winston can jump over the top if he wants to, but the majority of the team has to go through the front of that thing. We really wanted to force a team to work together to basically crack the nut that's on the other side.
