Overwatch, It Isn't New Anymore

[silverdragontyr]

Can't do AI games for D.va next week. That being said, you don't need to win so we can get a few people and just do quickplay a few times. Shouldn't be more than an hour.

Sadly no, also reading it again you have to do each challenge for the next one, so even if you already got Oni Genji play the five games with friends.

Haha didn't think of this until now, but Officer D.Va mech reminds me of ED-209. http://imgur.com/a/fchy8

Due to a bug currently under investigation, DVa is temporarily disabled in all regions. Thank you for your patience!

Looking to find out what this is.

Edit:

From Reddit:

Just found out the bug was her ult causing servers to crash and change map mid round.

NERF THIS!!

Also read Symm ports are indestructible. How can you possibly break a character that was left untouched during patchwork?

[silverdragontyr]

Yeah heard that, yet they don't touch Sym for disable. Heard one person say he fought a team whose Sym put it in the middle of the point. They team wiped them, only for them all to come back with nothing they could do, they team wipe them AGAIN only for the Mercy to come through the indestructible TP and raise, to finally lose. What absolute BS for a "competitive" game mode.

I was browsing twitter for some OW World Cup info when I saw MonteCristo destroyed a "feminist" on twitter lul.

Monte tweeted something about voting for him for the US Team World Cup committee, he said something like he'll lead the boys to victory. Then came in this chick who was saying shit to Monte because he only said boys, and how it's sexist etc,. And said if it were up to here, she'll make US Team all "womyn". LOL

She refuses to spell woman/women because it contains the word man/men. Hilarity ensues, long story short she ended up putting her twitter account on private lol.

It amazes me what is considered feminism now when it comes to social media.

And wow. OW has quite a few bugs out now. I had a feeling there would be more.

I'm kind of hoping for them to announce some Orisa buffs. Team's don't treat her like Sombra/Hanzo, thankfully, but I believe there's still a negativity to having Orisa as a tank.

I've played her most of the time in the current season, currently at 40 hours on Orisa, 54% win rate. Only character I have with a higher win rate is Lucio at 55%, but I have like 1/4th the time in him.

She doesn't feel like she fills the "anchor" role Blizzard intended for her. Like, I can pop shields in front of DPS, and they will flat out ignore it. I don't have the "initiating" factor that a Reinhardt charge accomplishes (plus it being super visual and like "hey Rein just charged, I saw him flying across the screen, let me run after him. A very small damage boost might help, because god damn does it suck to die to flankers, even though you''re hitting them, the damage just comes out slightly too slowly.

Her shield could be changed some way, or maybe just a visible change or noise to make it more clear to other players that it's there. Not that people really hide behind Rein's shield, but at least it's easier to work with (i.e: you only have to look at Rein to know where your shield is, vs looking at Orisa who's shield may be in a different spot. I generally have equal or higher damage blocked when I get those rare Orisa/Rein teams. She feels like slight buffs might make her too strong.

[Malithar]

Orisa's shield seems buggy, the curve on it is very deceptive. I've been "in" the shield numerous times on various characters only for a random part of me to stick out/thru it's curve and eat shots. I'd rather it skip the bends and curves and just be straight edged like \____/. That doesn't address her issues as a tank, but it'd go a long ways towards helping the usability of the shield IMO.

Reminder that Uprising is ending, so buy anything you wanted and haven't got yet.

The siren during the dash on DVas new skin is legit.

[Corrderio]

So rumors are Doomfist will be public on the 1 year anniversary and be in the PTR in a matter of days. Kinda hoping it's true.

[Corrderio]

PTR changes:


Genji
-Removed cooldown when wall climbing so you can attack instantly

Hanzo
-Removed cooldown when wall climbing so you can attack instantly
-Bow charge speed increased 10%
-Can maintain charge on bow while climbing wall if the button is held down (lolwut?)

Orisa
-Gun damage reduced by 15%
-Shield cooldown now 8 seconds instead of 12

Reaper
-Automatically reloads when Wraith Form is used

Rein
-Earthshatter vertical height reduced. It also can’t "climb" as well as it used to.

Soldier 76
-Bullet damage decreased from 20 to 19

[kisada]

wow

[Corrderio]

As much as I love the Reaper change, it's still not enough to pull him out of being shit tier.
