  I’m right there with you. I miss having 6v6 with like half the characters they have now (so I can actually learn them all), with Jeff Kaplan keeping me excited to play. What a fun time that was.

  I’m right there with you. I think the hamster was the last new hero I played with.

  Those were good times.

  Now they’re adding a cat with a jetpack, which I would love if they have her a better name than Jetpack Cat.

    Jetpack Cat was the original name of the cat though. It’s a tough corner they’ve backed themselves into there.

    It was originally the model for Pharah, before they decided (Jeff Kaplan) that it should be more serious and not include actual animals in it (you have Winston, but he talks and acts like a human).

    So they reworked the Jetpack Cat into Pharah and released her as the daughter of Ana.

    Jetpack Cat is owned by Brigetta and is one of her emotes that she picks it up and cuddles it.

    If they had named it anything else, it would have ruined the 10 years of lore they built up around it, so I understand why they did it.

    The issue for me is that it’s a support character.

    I mean, to be clear, I never liked Overwatch. Back when it was new, my friends were so into it that playing it with them was the only way we’d spend any time together. They’re the ones who miss that launch game, lol.

  They are mocking us.
