Omnic Lab: A Strategic Overwatch Podcast

This time on the Omnic Lab Podcast, Rob and Andres return to discuss some of the unrest in the Activision-Blizzard scene. Then the show transitions to talk about the game's trajectory forward, reminisce about the best parts of the game: the community of players. And an update at the end about the near future of the podcast.

In this month's episode we discuss the new cross play feature, the upcoming changes to hit scan heroes, and the latest adventures from game night!  Additional Note: Andres lost power in the beginning of the episode, but we were able to improvise to bring this episode together this month. 

The Omnic Lab crew is back to talk about all the new announcements recently live streamed by the Overwatch team. The new change to an 5vs5 format has been polarizing but it is bound to shake things up! Join us this episode where we discuss how the changes will change the game.  GAME NIGHT: 06/25/2021 WEBSITE: http://www.omniclab.com/links PATREON: http://www.patreon.com/omniclab DISCORD INVITE: https://discord.gg/vZ26JX4 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4PNaj8fM0j5pdIaGEDrPPJ Shownotes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13mDj-VIDSHF_bMrepXUlgokdXg0xz3FWtUxMIobSkNs/edit?usp=sharing  PARTNERS: Humble Bundle Monthly Affiliate: https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly?partner=omniclab AnaGramm, Shazear, Cypher, Sang L, LokiVandis Rob: twitter.com/notrob, twitch.tv/notrobmay Andres: twitter.com/iplaigames https://www.twitch.tv/iplaigamestv
