April Fools patch is really encouraging

General Discussion
1

Just goes to show that the devs are willing and capable to implement any kind of changes

Obviously we’ll only see balanced changes go live, but some of these changes I never thought I’d see, so the creativity is absolutely there

Nah, LW gets a higher petal while other heroes get complete reworks of their kit and giga buffed. It’s disgustingly imbalanced changes as usual.

Lol right. They could had at least made LW a hit scan for the week.

Ya cool, other people’s heroes get completely new ways to play their heroes and some are obviously giga busted. LW gets a higher petal. Hehe. So great for LW players.

Was never meant to be balanced lol was just done for fun

Meh

I guess big LW fans might be disappointed but there’s plenty of heroes that got big changes

I guess it’s unfortunate that you only wanted changes to one hero, there are lots of cool changes for many heroes

Yep, just makes it a bigger middle finger for LW fans. Most of these were interesting to read, then you get to “higher petal” and it’s just a middle finger.

Though poor Mauga players though, giga nerfed for LOL community hates him joke. Yet Tracer and Sombra weren’t deleted.

Just play someone else on the April Fools update. It might be fun to mix it up.

I would absolutely trade damage boost for the damage bullets mercy has on her staff rn even if I can’t compulsively reload them

25 HP for one of the biggest tanks to be half sized? He’ll be Torb size at the most extreme. I haven’t played the garbage yet, but I don’t think it’s anything but instant death for him.

He’s the size of a puppy and he still has all of his armour

I just love the fact that here was no downtown time when switching between healing and damaging, and you notice that Mercy in this patch can not heal and deal damage at the same time.

14

I just wanna be cool like the other supports who can pew pew and heal at the same time ;w;

Last April Fool’s update Doomfist got this (where you aim your punch you go… just like venture):

This year all he got was empowered melee…

Yes. These are amazing changes made by a dedicated group of very imaginative and creative DEV’s who just got fired.

Thx PvE team. You will be missed.

Lucio’s Sound barrier providing knockback and Symmetra’s teleport from anywhere are two changes they really ought to keep

torbjorn: lol

  • The turret now sticks to walls, ceilings, and allies.

so now you can have a turret on top of bastion in turret mode…great lol

kiriko lol:

  • Now also grants allies a 10% damage boost, 10% healing boost, 50% movement speed boost, and 700% increased jump height.

suzu the whole team…BOING…up and over the building they go

and LW:

  • Now raises 20m (up from 8m).

so put the entire team on the petal, raise them up 20M, THEN have kiriko use suzu to increase jump height to 700X, and launch yourself into the stratosphere.

is there a way to test the heroes in the practice range? Im pretty sure i was able to do that last year…
