I'm about to jump off the boat myself, I can't get into any groove. Trying to get in on an achievement boost session before I sell the game off.

Sorry y'all aren't having fun no more. $:-\$

imo the McCree nerf was bad without a buff to a glue character. Too much preference for area of effect at the moment which undermines the ability of individual skill to carry Widowmaker pickers.

I still love it, I just put wayyyy too much time into it already. Now I'll play it more casually. Can't wait to see how it'll develop.

I went from spamming Lucio to 76 and gained 2 ranks.

I'll probably lose them again but hey it felt good not feeling worthless~

I'm still playing and having a good time. Dva rekindled my interest in the game, she's just so dumb and a ton of fun.

Ultimate cost decreased by 15%

Explosion delay reduced from 4 seconds to 3 seconds

Explosion no longer damages D.Va (the player who activates it)

D.Va mah grrrl

Blizzards changes so far have been excellent. Not the fastest but they've made the correct adjustments so far.

Yeah they're doing the right thing by actually kinda feeling their way through it instead of just knee jerking.

Zenyatta great again <3 <3 <3

New console patch is out (with Ana) and apparently they nerfed Symmetra's turrets !

Who the fuck complained about Symmetra's turrets : |

Beezy · « **Reply #624 on:** July 22, 2016, 09:56:48 AM »

Damn, that's so unnecessary.

demi · « **Reply #625 on:** July 22, 2016, 10:03:56 AM »

Zen got a hot buff (hes actually REALLY good now)

DVA got lots of buffs (again, REALLY good now) - plus, you cant kill yourself with the ult now rofl

McCree can now snipe from long range with less damage falloff, so if you know how to aim, McCree is REALLY good now

Bjorn and Symmetra turrets got nerfed, Symmetra might as well kick rocks in a corner now

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #626 on:** July 22, 2016, 01:48:27 PM »

Interesting about Symmetra turrets. That makes my life a hell of a lot easier as a Tank.

toku · « **Reply #627 on:** July 22, 2016, 03:31:02 PM »

Glad they don't seem interested in touching turrets on PC. Is it really that hard to counter turrets on console?

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #628 on:** July 22, 2016, 03:35:05 PM »

The tjorborn turrets were definitely an issue especially when people ran multiples of them. Turrets in general were definitely an issue on consoles but I probably would have just nerfed Torbjörn first to see what effect that had but the data they had probably suggests that both characters were winning too much on consoles.

Skill rank changes from 1-100 to 1-5000 to better differentiate player skill.
(Re)introducing Skill Rating Tiers. I.E your Golds, Plats, etc.
Competitive point gains and gold gun costs multiplied by 10. Also applies to your current point bank.
Coin toss is go away, all sudden death is going away.
Big changes to how Assault works, especially the bonus time format.
Time bank system is going to be applied on Payload maps, there is possibility of tie but should be extremely rare.
Both team will have some comp points with a tie, just not as much as a win (keep in mind a win awards 10 CPs now).
Subsequent "assemble your team" time after the first round is reduced.
Skill rating difference between players when teaming up is significantly reduced, now 500 within the 1-5000 scale, equivalent to 10 in the 1-100 scale.
Diamond, Master and Grandmaster division players' skill rating will now decay, if you don't play the game for 7 days, your SR will drop 50 ratings every 24 hours. Bottom floor is Diamond, won't drop below that.
Top 500 now requires 50 matches minimum.

toku · « **Reply #640 on:** August 15, 2016, 02:03:20 PM »

Sound like good changes and he was so right about the current rating system. Here I was fluctuating between 55-61 thinking I was shit or slightly above average when I was actually in top 6% lmao

He flat out says in the video that if you managed to hit 60 you were in the top 6% but because of the scale they used, it never felt like it. It's part of why they're switching to a tiered and 1-5000 system.

As you can see in the Error-Level Analysis image, the detailed, opaque areas of the character appear to have the same error level as other detailed, opaque parts of the image, such as Junkrat's gun, the HUD, etc. The translucent parts of the character appear to have the same error level as the background behind it. This seems to indicate that this is an original, unedited screenshot taken directly from the game.

It would be easy enough for Blizzard to implement: make it a random event with an extremely low probability; across millions of players, it would still happen enough to be seen by someone.
