Happy new year, everyone! We are starting the year off with a bang by bringing back Double XP for this weekend! During Double XP Weekend, your accumulated match XP from each match played will be doubled. Please note any XP rewarded for completing challenges, bonus XP for participating in flex queue or impacted roles in Role Queue, and any XP rewards from endorsements are not doubled during double XP weekends. Double XP Weekend is running from:
January 6 – 11:00 AM PDT to January 9 – 11:00 AM PDT
When you receive double XP for your matches played, you should see the total number of XP after each match be higher than normal. However, the end-of-game Battle Pass screen will not indicate the amount that is multiplied. Double XP Weekends are a great chance to complete your Battle Pass and unlock the Zeus Junker Queen Mythic Skin! We look forward to seeing you in-game!
But the devs really should just kick out a quick placeholder balance change on Sojourn/Hog.
Hog: 600hp, 250selfheal
Sojourn: Lower the damage on non-ult rail so that it doesn’t oneshot with a mercy pocket.
Maybe:
Orisa: Primary fire damage reduced by 1
This kind of stuff should be obvious.
Rather than waiting until two 2 weeks before the 9 week season is over to fix the most glaring problems.
And yes, that kinda messes with fine tune testing data. But tbh.
The game needs big changes, which will override fine tuning
You don’t need as-much or as-quality testing data if you just patch more frequently.
Fast mostly gut-check balancing is what’s needed. And it’s kinda upsetting the devs are trying to move a mountain of sand with tweezers and a magnifying glass.
I would like to see something more along the lines preventing her from rotating her damage reduction abilities in a chain more… she can rotate them with little time between where she takes extra damage. She’s pretty much like an MMO tank using damage reduction cooldowns.
She’s easily the most beefy tank in terms of trying to kill.
That said, not really the topic to talk about this I guess… oh well.
Please look into why Practice vs AI Queue times are taking so long to find a game no matter what difficulty. Usually it takes me max 3 minutes to find a game. (Cross-play is enabled)
Should update this and be more clear that people need to buy the Premium Battle Pass as well else they don’t get the skin, unless this was changed in S2.
Well if you cant log in and do daily and weekly challenges ordinarily why should you get double xp for completing them on double xp weekends ? After all you can near as dammit complete the BP just doing those.
So your only getting double match exp which is 1000 on a win normally and maybe 500 or 700 on loses. So just like last time we won’t really notice it and we don’t have a feature to bank the BP level for the next season, long with many other issues not addressed.
