lately I've been playing nothing but Pharah. Landing blue plate special on other midair players is easy and fun. dunno why people are saying she needs a buff. I think a lot if players just aren't aware of how much damage direct hits will do.

It's interesting how you can control the wheel even if they kill Junkrat after you have cast it. It's as if Junkrat moves his consciousness into the inanimate object. Some spooky stuff right there if you ask me.

Because they are probably morons and try to manfight lvl 2 turrets and lose.

Tjorborn is much more useful on console indeed, but it's not really a problem to counter if you're not retarded.

I like how there's no one on the payload. Sure is console alright.
>no healer
>no Reinhardt
Yeah, that will make turrets OP.

>guy switches to Reinhardt
>nowhere to be seen
>nobody behind him taking out the turrets
>guy at the end of the round keeps flying above the payload instead of landing and getting overtime
>being this shit with a group of 4 people in voice chat
I don't even.

After playing PC version for about 8 hours I can say console players are not any worse than PC players when it comes to team composition and not being retarded.

Jesus Christ, people are fucking DUMB.

Nothing quite like doing a payload map where half of your offensive team is made up of fucking widowmakers and hanzos.

A new patch is now live on Windows PC. Read below to learn more about the latest changes.

To share your feedback, please post in the General Discussion forum.
For a list of known issues, visit our Bug Report forum.
For troubleshooting assistance, visit our Technical Support forum.

Please note that many of these changes will be rolled into a larger patch for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at a later date.

  • McCree
    • Peacekeeper - Alternate fire
      • Recovery time (i.e. the amount of time before McCree starts reloading) decreased from 0.75 seconds to 0.3 seconds
      • Bullet damage decreased from 70 to 45 (Probably reverse patch form this)
Developer Comments: McCree was performing too well against all targets, making him feel like a must-pick in many situations. By reducing the damage of his alternate fire, McCree is now significantly weaker against tanks like Roadhog and Reinhardt, but still maintains his lethality against smaller targets like Tracer and Genji.

  • WidowMaker
    • Widow’s Kiss - Alternate fire (Scoped Shot)
      • Base damage decreased from 15 to 12
        • Note: Scoped shot damage multiplier remains unchanged
      • Headshot damage multiplier increased from 2x to 2.5x
      • Players must now wait for the unscoping animation to completely finish before scoping
    • Infra-Sight (Ult)
      • Ultimate charge cost increased by 10%
*Developer Comments: In the right hands, Widowmaker can often feel unstoppable—even when just landing body shots instead of critical heads shots. The changes to her alternate fire weaken body shot damage while leaving her headshot damage unchanged. Additionally, we felt her Ultimate ability, Infra-Sight, was coming up a little too frequently, especially considering its impact on the game. *

  • Bug Fixed
    • Improved stability of the High Bandwidth option in Custom Games
    • Fixed a bug that allowed Mercy to gain Ultimate charge whenever damage boosting an ally who was attacking a barrier or Ice Wall
    • Fixed a bug that allowed Reaper to Shadow Step to unintended locations on a certain maps
    • Fixed an issue with collision on certain areas of Dorado not blocking line of sight

Ah yes, the first round of nerfs, i.e. Blizzard caving to the complaints of low-skill scrubstar nooblords who can't deal with either snipers or close-in high damage-dealers. The infravision (essentially a wallhack ability) change is understandable.

I trolled 4chan's /vg/ Overwatch general thread very thoroughly and successfully about this yesterday, because they were all celebrating the incoming nerfs.

I'm beginning to lose interest in this game pretty fast now that I realize it's going to go through Blizzard's standard, neverending cycle of caving to low-skill casual retards on a regular basis.

while i dislike blizzards balance philosophy, i think these two nerfs are very justified. at the highest level of play, a widowmaker will shut down the entire team by spamming uncharged shots until he hits a head. there's no risk and a very high reward for this kind of play. video related.

mccree alt fire was nerfed a little too hard though. 50-55 seems more reasonable since that would still let him 1shot every non tank.

edit: also the widowmaker base damage nerf makes zenyatta actually viable.

If you think these nerfs are not justified it's you who is a "low-skill scrubstar nooblord". And it's the "low-skill scrubstar nooblords" who will cry about them the most, because both increase the skill floor for the characters.

Only problem is Widow nerf doesn't actually change her top effectiveness, because both headshot damage and charge speed remain the same, and it's the charge speed they should've lowered.
