For me it sucks.

I have played a lot over the last year, or at least I feel like I did. I'm level 110. But I usually just hit up quick play and don't fuck with arcade, so I never got all those crates for getting 9 wins each week and shit like that.

Under the old system, during events I would get a ton of dupes but I'd use the coins to get at least 1 Legendary skin. This last event I played a lot, and in arcade mode to maximize boxes, and got nothing. Since I didn't min/max crates over the last year, my overall number of unlocks is fairly low. By removing dupes it just means that I get tons and tons of buddy icons and sprays and never get any coins, so I didn't get a single Legendary this time around. I think I got less than 200 coins (while actually min/maxing crates) and I needed 800.

They always put the shittiest characters in these modes.

Sure, nobody wanted to pick Hanzo in the original mode. Lets throw in Widowmaker as well

Yeah, they do a good job at the updates, but the Mercy shit the game is going through right now sucks.

Jeff did make a post that they are going to make some changes again.

Hey all,

Thanks for all of the discussions here on the game. We've been reading as much as we can and appreciate all of the passion.

Sorry we haven't posted as much as we usually do lately. We've been working really hard on some pretty awesome stuff for Blizzcon and we're super excited to share it all with you next week!

I know some of you have concerns about some issues in the game so I wanted to just take a quick minute and tell you what our current focus is internally.

We've been discussing the state of the Mercy rework a lot and listening to all of the feedback. Overall, we feel like the new direction for Mercy is much better for both Mercy and non-Mercy players. But we do feel like she's too dominant right now. In particular, we feel like the resurrect ability is changing the tone of the game to a degree which is simply too powerful. As such, we're experimenting with different toned-down versions of the ability. After all, resurrect is no longer an ultimate and is now an on-cooldown ability so it needs to be less powerful. I know that you're going to want more details but we're nearing a point with internal iteration where we feel comfortable putting something on the PTR soon. We'd rather have you play the changes than theorycraft them.

Another topic that we've been focused on a lot lately is Competitive Play. We don't have immediate changes to discuss right now but we're closely studying issues and perceived problems with the system with an eye toward improvement. Along with that, we talk a lot about matchmaking within the competitive system. We have some plans that should improve some issues that players are seeing -- especially at the high end of the skill rating spectrum. We have long and short term plans for Competitive that should hopefully improve the experience over time. We're hoping that we can get more of these changes in at a faster pace rather than waiting for major milestones. Some of the matchmaking work we want to do is strictly done on our servers which means that we don't have to wait for a big patch to go out. Again, I know you want more specific details but game development is a process and we're actively discussing and iterating on ideas and systems right now.

The third big focus that's being discussed is toxicity. A lot of what we do here we cannot and will not discuss publicly. The more players understand about how these systems work, the more they will be able to game them. There have been a lot of improvements in this area and the number of actioned players continues to rise. The more we restore your faith in our systems, the more we hope you use them (talking about reporting here specifically). We're also hoping to have player feedback in the game when someone you reported was actioned by the end of the year. The email pilot program has gone well so far and we keep trying to expand that until we get the in-game system up and running. Please keep using the reporting system. I swear to you, it does work and we're really focused on improving it. But we need your help.

Obviously, there is a lot more going on besides the three topics I brought up. But I think those three things are some of the issues the community as a whole is most concerned about and therefore I think those should be my team's top priorities. We have a ton of cool, fun stuff coming -- some of which will be announced at Blizzcon. And we're also really proud of some of the work we just completed to make spectating esports better. World Cup should be pretty cool and will teach us a lot for when it comes to improving spectating in the future.

We really appreciate all of the passion you've shown for the game. We're lucky to have players like you.

All the best,

ow team

benjipwns · « **Reply #941 on:** October 27, 2017, 02:37:50 AM »

i barely keep up with this game, should play some mercy before they change that so i can dominate even more absurdly with her and pretty much only her

like 80% of the plays of the game i've gotten are me related to me triggering a resurrection

favorite was mccree killing everybody and the whole opposing team ran in as i came out of spawn firing at them and they focused on me as i triggered it for our whole team behind them on the point as i shift flew out of the way

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #942 on:** October 27, 2017, 11:52:06 AM »

Maybe they should just do half health rez?

seagrams hotsauce · « **Reply #943 on:** October 27, 2017, 04:56:49 PM »

I dunno about that. Toying with the timing of the ability seems like the solution. A health change when rezzed would essentially negate the ability since almost every character in the game would have to immediately flee from a team fight to recover.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #944 on:** October 27, 2017, 04:59:21 PM »

True, a lot of heroes can almost be mowed down before they realize they’re rezzed as it is

Her hair and those weird ear things look bad, so I hope she gets some cool skins to make up for it.

I'm not very faithful about that though, considering how terrible Orisa and Doomfist's skins look.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #949 on:** November 03, 2017, 05:57:14 PM »

Yeah I meant more the abilities, the design ehhh

Valkyrie · « **Reply #950 on:** November 03, 2017, 05:58:55 PM »

She's edgy and shoots purple. It's all I need. But we need to pray for her to get some skins that don't just look like bad web design.
