My biggest hope is that this bug doesn't get patched. A little extra incentive to not die, I suppose. Then, when the emote wheel comes up asking where you want to assign your chosen emote, click it right before you get placed into a match (for me spamming this was the best way to ensure it worked).īut be warned: if you die in a match, your emotes will be reset as you roll a new character. The emote you pick has to be a looping one (like most of the sitting or dancing ones), or it won't work. It only works in Mystery Heroes, so queue up for that game mode and quickly jump into the hero gallery while you're searching to select the character you want to knick an emote from. If you fancy giving the emote-swapping a go yourself, it's pretty easy to replicate. (It actually looks weirdly similar to Cyberpunk 2077's V when you're using the third-person mod.) Apply that same animation to Torbjorn, however, and his body stretches and contorts so much I'm surprised no one tried to exorcise him.

When Bastion does it, one arm shoots forward while the other droops down, and he drags his legs like a shambling corpse. The real terror comes into play when you use Bastion's Halloween zombie emote on heroes that are much shorter than him. I also tried out Sigma's sitting emote, which kind of works for some characters, though does break their arms a little. Zenyatta's actually seemed like it could've been a real emote for Echo. Most of the dance emotes I tried don't seem too out of place. In it, he shows the gorilla Winston doing some dances that he most definitely should not have been doing, as well as little tutorial on how to replicate it. The first video showing the bug seemed to emerge from YouTube channel "Jeff Why" over the weekend.

Sometimes they're pretty funny, but I found that one Bastion emote in particular creates some absolute nightmare fuel. Players have discovered an emote-swapping glitch which allows you to play almost any looping emote on almost any character. If you've ever been messing around with Overwatch's emotes and thought, "hey, this one would look great on a different character", then boy do I have a fun bug to show you.
