Seeing some chatter about Freja, Kiriko, and Lucio having a faster base speed in the latest #Overwatch patch. As far as my testing in both 5v5 and 6v6 customs shows, this is not the case. Freja, Lucio, and Kiriko still have a base 5.5 m/s move speed.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I cannot express how much this little bean (I named ‘em Bola) has helped me focus. Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen, I genuinely have never been this concentrated at work in a long time.

Next up (in the vein of Stadium), I'm super proud to share that I've made a build-sharing website, OW Armory! While there's already some pretty established stadium build sites out there, I'm very proud of the work my friends and I put into this site regardless 😄

Speaking of the toolbox, it's now also available in 6v6 via the import code [MH1RE]! This import code is mostly for your convenience, since changing all the duplicate game modes around in the settings is really annoying.

Hey, so uh... I *might* have just finished a bunch of projects then forgotten to let you all know on here... so let's fix that!
First up, the Custom Game Toolbox, a set of tools for precisely conducting and measuring Overwatch experiments, is now available in the Stadium Practice Range! Code 7JRMA

![2/28 Call all 3 reps about that INSANE Oval Office meeting 202-224-3121
Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is Trump and Vance's Oval Office meeting with President Zelensky today was a major embarrassment, and totally horrifying. The way Trump and Vance spoke to Zelensky was disrespectful, condescending and antagonistic. It was clear they were using Russian government talking points. We look like imbeciles on the world stage, and, more importantly, like a country that is fully in league with Vladimir Putin. Trump's fealty to Putin and Russia is dangerous and unacceptable. I stand with Ukraine and want the Senator/Congressmember to make a statement saying that s/he does as well. We are either for freedom and democracy or we are not. Which side is s/he on?
Thanks.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qkww7yn4hgvl6zvgsc7tlnkm/bafkreiepzsuorlbdt4ocqpu5pfcd2goajgby3btwyei6ljcqletjcvp4nu@jpeg)

Soooo... the extra beams from Mercy's Valkyrie don't heal in OW Classic. At all. (The damage boost works just fine though)

The arrow on the fuel pump icon on your car's dashboard points to the side with the refueling port. If it points left, the refueling port is on the left, and same with right.
This tip has saved me the headache of pulling up to a pump on the wrong side with rental cars more times than I can count.

So... apparently you can become immune to EMP by running into an enemy Hazard's wall. This EMP immunity persists (even through respawning) until the would-be target switches heroes.

Been working on and off for over a year on a set of tools made in the Overwatch Workshop which make custom games more useful for testing various Overwatch scenarios. For example, here's a replayable demonstration of counter-charging being uncleansable, with some extra information readouts included.
