Overwatch, It Isn't New Anymore

Apparently 60 tic is out

For the network illiterate, does that mean the servers have a faster response time?

[synistar]

Less bullshit hooks may be the biggest thing.

[Corrderio]

Hopefully. One thing I hate about Roadhog is when I hook someone and they collide into the wall or manage to zip behind me.

Potential changes being tested/looked at:

Zenyatta - Discord Nerf

My guess would be that they nerf it to 30% (from 50%?) to make it fall in line with Mercy's damage boost.

Mercy

Glad they're looking into different ways to adjust her.

Mei - Blizzard Buff

I like the proposed changes. Blizzard is super easy to avoid unless you get caught off guard or are in the center of it.

>Making Mei more rage-inducing

WHYYYYYYY?

[Tokitoki]

Those are the types of players that make me wish everyone could see your stats. And that guy that only plays Roadhog + Genji needs to go back to quickplay if he's only going to play 2 chars and be shit at both of them.

I feel like that for a lot of people. Another loss I had yesterday I was Zenyatta paired with a Lucio. Gold healing, silver elims, bronze damage. Zenyatta is pretty good for damage, but that shouldn't happen.

oh come on Blizz, mei gets ult in like 4 seconds. the last thing she needs is a buff

[Day]

I think they just like the name of the ult for some reason

[synistar]

They should make her ult into D2 Frozen Orb at this point. Starts big shooting out shards while slowing and shrinks as it travels.

[Meian]

I am really glad they are looking into Mei.

I find it funny there is no mention of Lucio changes even though he has been a staple forever. Of course, I am not sure the best way to adjust him since the main reason he is picked is for his speed boost unless they lock out abilities upon spawning for a few seconds... though that is a major change just to target Lucio so very doubtful.

I'm more shocked that you beat Lucio for healing.

[Tokitoki]

I'm more shocked that you beat Lucio for healing.

So was I to be honest. It was on King's Row if I remember right, so maybe he was off on the sides or around corners too often to get everyone in range of the healing. Not really sure how that happened.

EDIT: I also had some good Transcendence ults. Got the healing card; think I did around 2k in Transcendence healing so that's probably what did it.

[tyven]

maybe lucio kept speed boost on 99% of the time. If I'm with a good Zenny that is what I do. Only use heals when dropping the beat. altho you lost so who knows

I'll be cool with it if they nerf the range of her primary/freeze tine. I keep forgetting how long that is and how there is almost no chance of escape if you get caught in it.

[AvidLoki]

Gdi Zen nerfs...hope it's more along the lines of damage reduction to other team players and only a very slight one to the player who uses discord orb.

[synistar]

Discord nerf is reasonable when you consider that an organized team can potentially alpha strike any enemy with discord orb on them.

People still want Mei nerfed, really? Must be playing with some low MMR if you think she is more painful to deal with than pro McCrees and such (unless Console, in which whatever lol). I want to see her used more than just Anubis really.

i dont think she needs to be nerfed, she just doesnt need to be buffed.

[Meian]

i dont think she needs to be nerfed, she just doesnt need to be buffed.

<5% pick rate doesn't need buff? It is just her ult really which isn't hard to avoid compared to some other ults.

Edit: I will admit, I am not sure the best way to buff her without her going crazy. The ult change is in the right direction though.
