Am I crazy or are these 2 PTR changes massively underrated by community

1. My Lucio can now boop a boosting D.Va? That’s awesome.
2. Winston no longer sucks nearly as bad against armor? That’s awesome.

Rip Orisa though, now she’s as likely to get abused by boopers as Reinhardt and now has a worse matchup against Winston.

at least she moves like 1m/s faster while shooting. That’s… something.

You’re missing the fact that Baptiste is a huge nerf to Winston since you can’t kill anything… You are going to spend days in order to try and kill the Immortality Bot as well as the people inside of it lol

[LordTrinen-1208]

But Symmetra, who already sucked against armor, now sucks even more.

Why do the developers hate Sym so much?

lucio boop is toxic since they buffed it seasons ago, i don’t get why they keep buffing him, its dumb. Here lets boop you 10m away into that pit you were never near, and call it balanced.

[TLiciousX-11927]

LOL how much health does the bot have? I don’t believe it gets the benefit of Invulnerability for itself…

[ArtOfReyes-1523]

it has 250 which is quite a lot for winston to kill by himself

Big buff to halt via knockback changes. Movement speed feels good too.

Could you explain? If i’m doing my math right, she’s doing more damage to armor now vs previously on her lvl 1 beam.

These patch notes

Hey there! Armor used to have a varying effect on damage over time and beam type weapons based on how damage instances were handled by the server (it’s not the server tick rate, some weapons have different update rates). This meant that Winston’s primary fire would hit the maximum 50% damage reduction against armor because it had a faster damage update rate while Zarya’s beam would lose a flat 15 damage per second (after the armor change from -5 damage per hit to -3). So the general results …

Symmetra ptr nerfs?

Hi, hopefully I can clear some of the number stuff up. Symmetra does 65/130/195 damage per second at each respective charge level against non-armored health pools. Against the original armor calculation (-5 dmg per hit) this got a flat 25 DPS reduction and a 15 DPS reduction after the armor changes to -3 per hit. So with this current PTR patch, at level 1 charge you gain +2 DPS versus armor, at level 3 you lose 24 DPS compared to before (now 156, previously 180). This ends up being a differe…

There’s a really good math thread on PTR feedback. I should have bookmarked and now I can’t find it.

Arcadium just posted the threads I was looking for. Check those out.
