Yo Thx…

Also, keep in mind that these won’t go live.

Thanks for the post.

FINALLY a Venom-Mine buff.
Personally though, I would’ve started with SMG buffs.
Still, it’s a okay buff.
The wall-hack is 6 seconds now and the DPS went up to 20 from 15.

Mercy “buff”
In order to use the Mercy “buff”, you have to:
-Get ultimate charged
-Whip out pistol
-Press Q
-GA to someone
TIME STARTS
-Look for a target to dome in less than 1.5 seconds
-Dome a target in less than 1.5 seconds
-Look around for a GA target during the 1.5 second duration
-Press shift to GA in less than 1.5 seconds

All together in less than 1.5 seconds, but the cooldown will be almost done, within microseconds, that you wont feel it NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY

Is this experimental patch an early April Fools joke? Like half of these seem like legit adjustments but like double turret Torb, Pharah taking increased damage on the ground, Mercy’s… “buff”, they trolling right?

Basically yea it’s meant to be a meme exp for a tourney.

Kinda wish they’d have given troll buffs to more heroes.
