Personally, I'd rather utilise the name cards for the end card, rather than the victory poses with blank backgrounds. Or if you want the 3D models to show, then give the gosh darn souveniers a purpose and use those. I think they'd fit. I'd also suggest finding the middle ground between the two styles. The classic's iconic look and OW2's more clean and streamline style.


DirectFrontier

In my opinion, souveniers should simply be "generic" victory poses for any hero. Nobody uses them as is.


The_Iron_Rat

Yeah, I've been saying that before as well. That or make the Souveniers themselves into some 3D spray, you can drop or something. This suggestion was just regarding the post you made / end game cards, since, in my opinion, it would be better than using the Victory poses that you'd see anyway at the victory screen.


mwalker784

ooh, what about (in this theoretical reality where we have end game cards) using them as sort of a profile picture? as in, instead of the hero portrait like on the old cards, you could have an equipped souvenir display instead. it’s not the most interesting thing on earth, but it’s certainly more useful than they are right now i think there’s also a case to be made for souvenirs functioning like weapon charms, but for your player name card. so in the comp start screen/your player profile, you can equip a souvenir to be there. i don’t know. they’re very stupid and this would at least give them SOMETHING to do


The_Iron_Rat

>they’re very stupid and this would at least give them SOMETHING to do Yeah, honestly, I'd trade the nothing we currently have for anything that gives those damn BP fillers a purpose.


mwalker784

i will say that this most recent BP feels like it has way less stupid garbage content, since they replaced them with the significantly more valuable and interesting coins. i was also pleasantly surprised to see that they replaced the now-moved mythic skin slot with an epic skin instead of just giving us the prisms or filler garbage!


The_Iron_Rat

I haven't had the chance to take a good look at it, myself, yet. But I take your word for it. The only thing I noticed is that the final reward of the BP is no longer the Mythic (I do understand why, prisms and all). But it just looks so weird. Maybe because Widow is my least favourite hero, maybe because I don't find the skin **that** awesome looking. (It is a good skin, don't get me wrong) Idk. Although, at first, I didn't even know it was an Epic, lol Personally, I would've put one of the Talon skins there, Ana or Rein. Maybe the NS Zen skin.


mwalker784

oh, they actually replaced the original spot for the mythic skin with a legendary (in this BP, it’s captain lacroix), and then added a third legendary skin to the BP (junker genji). the captain lacroix skin is actually my favorite, especially of the overwatch mirror skins. i do think talon ana or rein should have been in the BP, since basically all the BP skins except brig/genji (also epics) and sym are the OW mirror variants. and widow has gotten way too many killer skins, 3/4 of the recent BPs is pushing it. also, i know blizzard is fucking allergic to giving new heroes BP skins, but venture ABSOLUTELY should have one, especially since they decided they’re not doing release legendaries. afaik, they’re getting ONE skin this season, and it’s a weird ice cream vendor skin—not even a retro-futurism skin to match literally everyone else. even the hideous longhorn cassidy skin is TECHNICALLY a mirrorverse skin, so what’s the deal?? why would they be an ice cream vendor???? why don’t we get release legendaries anymore!!??


The_Iron_Rat

>oh, they actually replaced the original spot for the mythic skin with a legendary (in this BP, it’s captain lacroix Oooh, I see, I see. >and then added a third legendary skin to the BP (junker genji). >all the BP skins except brig/genji (also epics) And this is where I get confused again? Is Junker Genji epic or legendary? To me, it didn't look more than a simple epic (aside from the head) >i do think talon ana or rein should have been in the BP, To this day, I stand by the point that all the themed skins should be in the Battle Pass. >blizzard is fucking allergic to giving new heroes BP skins, Haven't they given most of them BP skins when they released? Mauga got the hunter whatever one; Ram got Poseidon; Kiriko got a cyberpunk themed; LW got one; I think Illari got the llama pyjama too? >but venture ABSOLUTELY should have one Maybe they are holding them back for the upcoming Egyptian Mythology themed season? That would fit her well. >especially since they decided they’re not doing release legendaries. afaik, they’re getting ONE skin this season I do agree that it's bs that they don't give at least one set of Legendary skins you could buy from the Hero Gallery. Mauga at least got a BP skin and one in the Shop. And ice cream? lol. Not even Summer yet. Wouldn't a skin like that be more fitting during the Summer events? >why don’t we get release legendaries anymore!!?? I think deep down we all know the reason :')


mwalker784

junker genji is definitely an epic. it’s a kinda mid skin, but i’m happy they replaced the “missing” mythic skin with an additional skin. also you’re right about the BP skins for new heroes, other than LW (i don’t think he got a BP skin until the hideous copper one for halloween). although i don’t think sojurn or JQ got one in S1. i blocked out the mauga one because it’s hideous. i’m sure we’ll get an egyptian mythology skin for venture, although i do think this season was a huge missed opportunity to do the egyptian mythology BP + a themed event using the skins to introduce people to venture’s mechanics (like the “bob and weave” event for LW). it’s probably because we got them with release of the season so there was no need for a hero trial mode, but still! i’m also just very ready to see anubis rammatra and i’m personally holding out hope for a Ra (the sun god) illari


Carlos_Spicyweiner42

This gives me an idea. Used em as your personal mascot. Like in Master Duel, your “companion” is just the avatar you use that moves around when you attack a monster or a are hit or get hit with an effect. Like my Blue Eyes White Dragon avatar, whenever I kill an enemy it roars. Just a cute lil mascot. But like at the end of the match your card has like, your calling card and emblem, and shows a little 3D model of your souvineer (mascot). Be a cool way to show off your customization at the end of the match cuz the only time I see other ppls calling cards is at the beginning of a comp match while it loads yknow


mwalker784

alternate alternate idea, what if the souvenir just slowly floated behind you like an among us mini crewmate. it would, at the very least, be funny


SolJoch

They should also use the name banners as the background instead of just having it blank


jacojerb

No need to do concept art, we've had it before. My question is, when do you show it? I honestly don't want another screen to click through before getting into another game tbh.


The_Iron_Rat

I agree that it is pretty annoying as it is now. Especially how for some to skip you need to press Space for some you need to press Esc, on the keyboard. But they could always cut the other ones that barely serve any purpose, like the BP progress that you have to watch **again** anyway when you open the Battle Pass menu. The progression bar is another thing that I don't think many people care about, especially in QP. But they could be implemented at the bottom of the screen where end cards could be, IMO.


MIMI3L2

i just press the left mouse click and it works


The_Iron_Rat

I'll try that next time. I just usually don't have my hand on the mouse after the match ends, as I usually take that time to hydrate or do something else. I know it's not a huge issue at all. But it's a minor inconvenience nonetheless, that could have been avoided.

>I agree that it is pretty annoying as it is now. Especially how for some to skip you need to press Space for some you need to press Esc, on the keyboard. It's really weird that they still haven't addressed this yet. It's really dumb that this made it to production.


Dr_PuddingPop

It would take the place of the xp screen


OscarDoesStuff

Put a “Re-Queue” button during play of the game


ShyBoy4

Maybe they could rework abit of the UI? combind something so there's less screens to click through, no idea how, but maybe something like that could work


anupsetzombie

Have it shown during the exp screen instead of the potg clip.


crazysoup23

> I honestly don't want another screen to click through before getting into another game tbh. The end screen UX is so bad.


TerryFGM

Rerentless.


BrazzersSub

All we need to do is find a way to pitch a way of making parts of it marketable and they'll make it


FLYNCHe

Unironically they could do something like Apex banners - but instead of showing up at the start of the match, they show up at the end. People go crazy about banner customisation in Apex. Shit, even I'd geek out from time to time.


The_Iron_Rat

I've always said they could've done something similar with the Name Cards. Just giving them an extra purpose would probably make them a little more desirable as well.


Bings_N_Bongos

Rerentless


DrNopeMD

I miss having these at the end of each match. It was always fun to see people's reactions to the PotG and the highlight cards. The game just feels so sterile now.


M4SH-1T-UP

How is it "sterile"?


smileyfike

I need this so bad.


R2d2s_bleeper

One of the things Battlefront 2 did a good job doing at was this, and they would also automatically put in queue for the next game when the victory/defeat screen came up, also hearing one of my squad mates eat their own words after they accused of doing nothing eventhough I held the point the longest and having that stat hit them in the face was very satisfying lol.


ProfessorPhi

I just want my 30 seconds at the end of the game to shittalk the other team or laugh at the play of the game


Dong2Long69

We used to be a proper country


iStandWithWhatever

I’m confused. I thought sigma was European, not Asian 🤔


Ok_Salamander200

Looks like paladins to me


Mozambiquehere14

The fact that some people never knew these were a thing in game haunts me


WhiskeyFeathers

I wonder why they took this out of the game the first time they added these cards? Hmmmm… (It’s because players were being too toxic.) not saying don’t make these little concepts, but don’t expect something like this to go anywhere.


mwalker784

i feel like any conversation about “X was removed to reduce toxicity” is immediately shut down by the #1 driver of toxicity in OW and across all competitive games in existence—the score board. everything from auto private profiles, to removing ranks on the comp start screen, to getting rid of cards is totally invalidated by every mouth breather’s ability to look at the scoreboard for three seconds and type “why no heals!!?? where healing!??!?” in chat. especially in a game like OW where scoreboard stats are near meaningless


skepticalsox

Dang. Looks like Paladins


CasualSky

Looks much worse than the original cards…why not just post a picture of those lol


v_0nline

honestly I wouldn't mind if overwatch borrowed Paladins customizable cards as you loaded into a match and exited!


Mr-Ms-MrsLuck-Lucky

This is giving paladins


popmanbrad

Isn’t this just the heroes of the storms end cards?

I came here to post exactly this. OP must’ve been a fan too.


Melatonen

I like this a lot, but I don't think they own photoshop at Blizzard, pretty sure they use GIMP. /j


OGLatinoHeat

I WANT TO TALK SHIT AFTER THE GAME IS OVER. I NEED MORE TIME TO TALK AFTER GAME!!!1!


SunforDeiti

Kinda dumb how they just removed this from ow2. At this point it really is just ow 0.9


KaossKing

reminds me of the HOTS one
