Overwatch’s Doomfist was born from a mere name


July 18, 2017 3 comments


“From the very moment we announced Overwatch, Doomfist was part of the story,” Game Director Jeff Kaplain said in a new hero preview video. “It immediately raised questions in everybody’s mind: Who is this Doomfist guy?”


The team revealed that the whole character and concept came simply from a villain name thrown out at the beginning of the game’s development. From this simple origin came a feared foe whose super-charged fist was the stuff of legends and was destined to be a part of the game.Read more

Blizzard On Why They Didn’t Go With Terry Crews For The Voice Of Doomfist. July 24, 2017 . 8:30am

In a new interview Blizzard’s senior designer explained why they ultimately chose Doomfist’s voice actor, Sahr Ngaujah, over Terry Crews.

47 comments Read >




Over the timeframe of the last few months, Blizzard has been dropping hints in Overwatch that the next playable character would be Doomfist and, since then, actor Terry Crews has been campaigning to voice the character. Crews even recently paid a visit to Blizzard’s offices in Irvine, California. However, all expectations Crews would be Doomfist’s voice actor were dashed when the trailer for Doomfist’s official revealreleased a few weeks ago.

In a new interview with GameSpot, Blizzard’s senior designer, Michael Chu, explained why they ultimately chose Doomfist’s official voice actor, Sahr Ngaujah, over Terry Crews. Chu said the following:
“We love Terry. Terry’s awesome. He came and visited us. We had a great time. But when we were looking for Doomfist, we were looking for something very specific given his role in the game and everything. When we were early in the audition process, we heard Sahr, who’s the actor who plays Doomfist, and he just blew us away immediately. Once we heard his voice, it was like, ‘Holy crap. That’s Doomfist.’”

Overwatch is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

You are an Overwatch League free agent, starting now


July 26, 2017 7 comments






Here’s some news that should make you feel special. As of right now, as long as you’re over 18 years old and play Overwatch, Blizzard considers you a “free agent” who can be signed on to the developing Overwatch League and its teams. And why wouldn’t someone want you? You’ve got mad skills, or so we hear from our street sources.


An official signing window is about to open between August 1st and October 30th for teams to scout and sign players to contracts. This will only happen for the first season, as the league will be established in the future and will go through a different process.Read more

Permateam aims to reduce toxicity by avoiding random grouping in games like Overwatch and League of Legends




september 24 2017 19 comments



Players feeling the frustration and sting of random grouping in Overwatch and other e-sports games might have a new ally in the form of a permanent teaming service. Permateam, as the name implies, connects players with desired team roles to form teams that benefit all. The site has one of the longest and most peculiar manifestos that we have read in a while, mostly expressing the pitfalls that random teaming causes.


“[Overwatch’s] attempt to group people were met with failure,” the site argues. “Players understood quickly that the volatile nature of random teams did not have any direct consequences for them. They could be as toxic as their rage dictated because they would not see the other players again after the match ended. Those lucky enough to win a match, Read more

Posting on Forums Can be 'Scary' & 'Intimidating' for Developers According to Kaplan







Posted Oct 02, 2017| 33 Comments



According to Jeff Kaplan, posting on the Overwatch community forum can be scary and intimidating for developers. He alludes to members of his team who have been "personally attacked and intimidated" by players fans.

While the OW team appreciates the enthusiasm, it can be a frightening experience for devs when they are constantly concerned about 'saying the wrong thing'. Game forums are not a "safe environment" for open communication due to harassment and out of context interpretation.Read more
