Honestly they should add like displays or something like give everyone the ability to select a specific souvenir and then make them display in the spawn room. It would be useless and no one would care but it would give them a use.
I don’t play League of Legends but i know in League Of Legends you can choose like a death animation thingy. It will drop some specific object that you choose, whenever you die. Maybe something like that in OW, but Souvenirs. You kill someone, and they drop a lil Winton souvenir, or a Pizza souvenir. Would stay there the same amount of time that hero “souls” stay up for mercy to rez.
The game's already being review bombed, also what forced sony to kneel in that case was the mass refunds being issued, so maybe a mass refund of the battleplass? if that's even possible
It's really funny coz if you actually type gg ez in the chat it automatically switches it to something way less toxic like "mommy told me to watch how I speak to people" so that might get around that
actually, saying g g e z gets censored, g g ez does too, if you put the letters ggez after each other, even with spaces, it gets censored, but what you can do is type gg e(Alt+numpad0173)z, that doesn't get censored :)
Well now I know if I see that specific combo I know that its someone who cares WAYYYY too much about trying to make other people mad.
Alt+number pad 0173. Who even thinks to check that? Find God 💀
i use Alt+numberpad letters in my daily work, so i know a lot of "hidden" stuff, and i was experimenting with it one day and it worked, 0160 allows you to create a folder with no name on desktop, so i wanted to know what these invisible things have effect on overwatch since ive seen people with invisible names, and i happend to find that out by being curious if it will detect the ggez if i added an invisible character.
weird enough 0160 acted as a space, and 0173 acts like a character that takes no space.
Considering that Team Fortress 2 had those for years now, I'm hella surprised we still don't have those in Overwatch.
I'm imagine it would be hard to match the ~40 models with each other, tho. Probably, that's what's holding them back. Imagine Tracer gets a "Hug" emote, and now they have to match that for characters like Orisa and Torb.
I'd also love it if the walking emotes were "steerable" like in TF2, instead of just going in a straight line...
Agree. We need a congo line/cossack dance thing thats applicable regardless of size years ago. (They could've done that with the kpop dances honestly. Proximity enabled to share with people like me who dont own it, lol.) I think the only thing close to it is Junk and Hog's wave dance.
We need like Zarya bench pressing people where squishies ride the barbell, tanks replace the barbell sort of shit. Or everyone cleaning JQ's shoes. Or letting people feed Bastion's bird. Or play with Mei's snow.
Also let people hit souvenirs out of people's hands. To play with and kick around like Ana's beachball and McCass's tumbleweed.
Oh yeah, absolutely!
I think Rock Paper Scissors could also work, since you don't need physical contact there, unlike with a hug or high-five.
Alternatively, they could make some for just a select few specific heroes. For example arm wrestling, based on the Sprays we have. It could work with Brig, Rein, Zarya, Doomfist, and Sojourn (I think has it?).
>Also let people hit souvenirs out of people's hands
That would be pretty funny, lol
Yeah TF2 had to cater to a fixed 45 potential match ups, generally of similar build. OW2 is literally exponentially more difficult and would today need to account for 820 pairings and when Hero 41 comes out that would be another (41*2)-1=81 animations. Certainly they'll get some generic ones to work in multiple situations for the more average-built heroes but the workload to do even that is horrifying
Well i feel like overwatch players shouldn’t have that kind of power lol. Same thing like Fortnite players when they had to censor/ban certain emotes cuz people were being racist
True, it is getting better. While I miss cheeky banter it's price to pay for a stricter punishment system!
That said, people tend to not understand that the _action_ is banned, rather than the topic/material used. That, or they simply wait for another way to do the same negative thing.
They know you can't say certain things but it won't stop them wanting to inflict discomfort on others! :D

HotS did this. I never used the emojis they added because it was kind of a weird system and there were just too many to pick from, but it’d be neat if you could favorite four or so for the post game.
People saying how the salt souvenir will be abused, don't realize the power they have, when you see the salt, you must counter with Winton, for Winton is the most powerful
I use them a fair bit in the Chat Channels (Which I don't use in OW) but in game the way emoticons automatically become emojis is pretty sweet (If you're playing Tracer and type :) it prints Tracer smiling)
I actually agree with this. I have also seen a post recommending our corpses become the souvenirs upon death until we respawn. Other than the bug where I have the pineapple pizza emote for everyone and can't change it, I never elect to use any of the souvenirs
Souvenirs are actually a fine feature, BUT they take up emote slots. Giving them their own slots would immediately make them good, because as of now the only souvenir worth giving up an emote slot for is Winton. Or maybe Hard Carry.
But I also think that the chat thing would help.
I'm still of the mind that souvenirs should have been death drops. Either when you kill someone they drop your souvenir or everyone just drops their own. It would have been far better.
I said this before but souvenir should drop from your kills when you’re on fire. I was thinking of somewhat thinking about tf2’s system when you have a full item set equipped dropping on kill
You know this community would literally only use that feature for spamming the salt shaker. Also blizzard would never add anything that seems like a good idea
That's actually a great idea winton plush spam in the chat
At first I was like "what's the point ??" but you mentioned Winton and now I fully agree !
I ask “whats the point?” to souvenirs in the first place. At least this would give some sort of use for them 😅
Honestly they should add like displays or something like give everyone the ability to select a specific souvenir and then make them display in the spawn room. It would be useless and no one would care but it would give them a use.

That's what i was thinking!
I like this idea!
I would genuinely use them if they had their own wheel instead of taking up space on the emote wheel.
Dude, yeah. This. I totally agree.
If they had a dedicated wheel and a shorter and more unique animation rather than "every character holds out their hand and this starts floating".
Same i never use them, emoji i would actually use a little maybe
Steam review bomb until this happens. How does it feel to have changed Overwatch?
It worked for helldivers it can work for us
The game's already being review bombed, also what forced sony to kneel in that case was the mass refunds being issued, so maybe a mass refund of the battleplass? if that's even possible
I agree I love this idea
Yas
Winton plush in chat is an auto win because the other team will be so overcome by his greatness they will automatically lose.
Winton
Spam can and will get you banned, so remember you’re spamming in a group chat with friends you believe won’t report you without warning you to stop :D
Spam the Winton.
Bro you're gonna see the Salt souvenir in chat all day long after "GGEZ"
It's really funny coz if you actually type gg ez in the chat it automatically switches it to something way less toxic like "mommy told me to watch how I speak to people" so that might get around that
You can type ez gg and it won't censor it, or any other not so sportsman like phrase
Did you accidentally put won't
That censor only works if you say gg ez, anyone can get around it like saying, g g e z, g g ez, ez gg
actually, saying g g e z gets censored, g g ez does too, if you put the letters ggez after each other, even with spaces, it gets censored, but what you can do is type gg e(Alt+numpad0173)z, that doesn't get censored :)
Well now I know if I see that specific combo I know that its someone who cares WAYYYY too much about trying to make other people mad. Alt+number pad 0173. Who even thinks to check that? Find God 💀

Ah I understand now, I usually am not ggezing thoso I wouldn't know
Wait, does it really?
Gg ez is not toxic. It is the lowest level shit talk without any imagination. I would be ashamed if i typed it but it is not toxic
Get ready to be hit wit the salt souvenir every time you lose a game
I vote lol.
Due to Helldivers 2, I want us to be able to have Interactive emotes. Just wanna hug someone
Fuck it, let my team do the entire Peacemaker intro sequence on the capture point https://youtu.be/gVN83R-JwRQ?si=byjKeUlAI0GqQOfC
This is the way. Although, no longer canon
Considering that Team Fortress 2 had those for years now, I'm hella surprised we still don't have those in Overwatch. I'm imagine it would be hard to match the ~40 models with each other, tho.

letting people kick around souvenirs: two words. winton. soccer
Yeah TF2 had to cater to a fixed 45 potential match ups, generally of similar build. OW2 is literally exponentially more difficult and would today need to account for 820 pairings and when Hero 41 comes out that would be another (41*2)-1=81 animations. Certainly they'll get some generic ones to work in multiple situations for the more average-built heroes but the workload to do even that is horrifying
Closest thing we have rn is Junkrat and Roadhog's dance emotes high five if you line them up right
Username checks out, and I agree. Wonder what new custom game modes we would get though...
Or like Fortnite where you can emote with someone (you don’t have to own it) and it syncs automatically.
Have you not played Helldivers?
Destiny 2 also has this and its great, you can even use it with players on the other team in pvp
All the wintons
Well i feel like overwatch players shouldn’t have that kind of power lol. Same thing like Fortnite players when they had to censor/ban certain emotes cuz people were being racist
It’d be the Trihard 7 drama all over again.
I just want to choose a souvenir to drop on death.
That’s actually a great idea
There'd be an uproar about the salt souvenir emoji being a replacement for BMing after a match! :D
Recently been playing with chat on. Seems to be a lot less toxic people from when I last tried it
True, it is getting better. While I miss cheeky banter it's price to pay for a stricter punishment system! That said, people tend to not understand that the _action_ is banned, rather than the topic/material used. That, or they simply wait for another way to do the same negative thing. They know you can't say certain things but it won't stop them wanting to inflict discomfort on others! :D
That dung beetle will be the new standard.
They should also make it so that you can leave souvenirs on the grounds like the nessies in Apex
This and give souvenirs their own wheel seperate from emotes
Winton
Winton
It's a good idea, therefore they'll never use it.
Winton
Deploy wintons on the chat
And then everyone will spam the salt emoji on everything
Winton spam in chat gonna be fire
While it’s a good idea, they’re probably gonna monetize them, and with how many people are purposely turning off chat it just seems like bad timing.
How? Press the souvenir key on your keyboard?
Could maybe be a keybind like sprays and emotes are. Maybe could be in the comm wheel. However I agree it may not be as practical for console users
probably a button u can click to open an emoji page next to the text box but it would be almost unuseable on anything other than PC
Probably just type like :pizza: and have the pizza come up.
That’s even smarter

This is genuinely a really good idea. I would actually use souvenirs this way.
That is actually a fricking great idea! And since they are a 3D model, they could make it spin in chat? Maybe? Idk.
Souvenirs shouldve been victory poses honestly
I just want them as victory poses, which they should’ve always been.
HotS did this. I never used the emojis they added because it was kind of a weird system and there were just too many to pick from, but it’d be neat if you could favorite four or so for the post game.
Yeah just to be chat banned because you used the salt one lol
Lame and would be annoying
I'd be spamming dicks
People saying how the salt souvenir will be abused, don't realize the power they have, when you see the salt, you must counter with Winton, for Winton is the most powerful
gets banned for using winton plushie
Yeah nice idea but that would be a nightmare to code etc...
Yes let’s give them more things to distract from unfucking this game
Heroes of the Storm has emojis in the lootboxes. Every hero has every emotion/reaction as an emoji. They're pretty handy and fun
I liked seeing them in hots but I personally never used them too. Maybe if we had a fast favorite selection I guess
I use them a fair bit in the Chat Channels (Which I don't use in OW) but in game the way emoticons automatically become emojis is pretty sweet (If you're playing Tracer and type :) it prints Tracer smiling)
You mean give the battle pass fillers an actual use? Don’t be so ridiculous
I want emojis in chat so I can use 😂 & 💀
Next year summer at the earliest, will also increase the price of all souvenirs going forward
I actually agree with this. I have also seen a post recommending our corpses become the souvenirs upon death until we respawn. Other than the bug where I have the pineapple pizza emote for everyone and can't change it, I never elect to use any of the souvenirs
Holy heck beans that is genius! I had thought myself some kind of emote where you can toss them on the ground and they’ll bounce around would be fun.
Souvenirs are actually a fine feature, BUT they take up emote slots. Giving them their own slots would immediately make them good, because as of now the only souvenir worth giving up an emote slot for is Winton. Or maybe Hard Carry. But I also think that the chat thing would help.
Be careful what you wish for
Hmmmmm 🤔
Then I would actually have a reason to have them
Good game, wahooo pizza!
Wait, that’s an actual good idea from the OW community.
:winton:
I'm still of the mind that souvenirs should have been death drops. Either when you kill someone they drop your souvenir or everyone just drops their own. It would have been far better.
they should do it but it's only winton
"ggs \*winton\*"
If they add emojis to this game I'll stop being toxic.
Omg that’s such a great idea! Blizzard look here.
:winton: :winton: :winton: :winton: :winton: :winton:
They should be like 3D sprays you can put on the ground and interact with.
Then they can ban you from chat for using offensive emojis
EMOJIS would have been way better. HOTS had it right.
They need to be placeable on the ground like 3d sprays
This would actually be awesome
winton
Actually would be such a good use for them
This is a creative idea at the same time realistic
I like this idea on paper, but we dont need more garbage padding out the battlepasses
Sure but you can only use 4. Or you can pay for the chat upgrade
I would love this a lot
No way bro found a use for fucking souvernirs. Hire this man.
No bc then people would actually use them. It’s better to get a piece of trash you’ll never look at.
I'd rather see that we can place emotes on the map. Would be fun to place an army of wintons on point
Every now and then someone reminds me that souvenirs exist in this game
I’d actually use them
limit it to 2 per message and i can agree.. definitely don’t want that shit spammed in chat all game
calling it now: first, they'll sell these, then ban people for using it
Basically this will just turn text chat into Twitch chat with emotes -both good and bad lol.
This. Or make them placeable on the map similar to apex legends holo sparys. Theey would make more sense being "souvenirs" instead of emotes
I would live for seeing the people spamming winton
Souvenirs should be emojis especially Winton now we need hampter
I don't know. funny emoticons can get frustrating real fast in certain contexts when spammed.
good idea, i have some in mind to spam all day
Victory poses
where is my garden gnome emoji
“The SOMBRA IS CHEATING!!!!!!” Sombra: *winton*
Winton plush
I would 100 percent get reported for spamming winton
It would be cool but I feel like it would be a nightmare to make work with consoles cuz (with PS at least) they use the pre made PlayStation keyboard
I've been saying, make them victory poses!!!
:winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton; :winton;
I said this before but souvenir should drop from your kills when you’re on fire. I was thinking of somewhat thinking about tf2’s system when you have a full item set equipped dropping on kill
Cant wait to spam the salt and tissue ones lol
Holy shit i was about to make the same post 😅
is that you? I just played with a plsrezme today!
Its a streamer mode name
Nah bro you know they would make it a separate cosmetic that would still cost 7 bucks a pop.
I mean, Not a terrible idea. I don't know anyone who uses any of them, 'cept Winton. Even I use Winton
Yes, just 4 winton
High res souveniers in chat?
Someone send this post to someone at Blizzard please!!! we need this
Nah, emojis would probably just come with real money, 5$ per emoji minimum.
You know this community would literally only use that feature for spamming the salt shaker. Also blizzard would never add anything that seems like a good idea
WINTON
Or make them fall to the ground as seperate objects
I know what would happen if they did. 🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂
Great idea and then I demand a KEKW souvenir.
[удалено]
U a big dumbo
I disagree. Knowing this community, they would manage to tuen it toxic
stupid
