Big W patch notes!

These are some really good changes in today’s patch! One of the best patches we’ve had in awhile.

Then they went and seemingly net buffed Sojourn because they’re incapable of just nerfing a hero who has been hard meta since she launched :unamused:

Dva actually gets a buff so this is a W patch for sure.

They’re also incapable of not buffing Orisa again, but overall the patch is a W. At least they nerfed rail gun max damage.

I don’t see it changing the dps meta at all. They fumbled this patch hard and the good changes that are in there just don’t matter. We’re still stuck in Tracer/Sojourn/Mccree prison.

The Cassidy nerfs are quite substantial. AKJ will be in shambles.

For anyone who doesn’t play Reaper, sure.

The balance feels like fear is their inspiration.

“PUSH MAP UPDATES
-Reduced the match time from 10 minutes to 8 minutes in Quick Play.
-Increased push robot speed by 10% when pushing the barricade for both Quick Play and Competitive.”

Is the best change they made. IDK if this will make me like the mode, but it’s exactly what I’ve been asking for the whole time so :clap: :clap: :clap:

Quality in this season was reduced again. Don’t expect something good for next seasons. Patch notes were delayed until release to avoid embarrassment for the internal Overwatch team.

These are great patch notes though. Nothing to be embarrassed about.

It wouldn’t be shameful for the patch notes, but for delivering once again, very crushed content, in yet another season. The quality of content is falling a lot. Ultrawatch skins are bizarrely ugly.

I dunno, I’m thinking about picking Symm back up.

That faster beam charge and extra hp seems… yummy.

That I agree with. The theme of this season is awful. I also hate how they are handling the Mythic weapon because of course they want another $80 from people.

But on the plus side, I like the Baywatch skins. And I’m excited to see what they have for the Transformers collab. And the patch notes are excellent.

So some good stuff and some bad stuff.

Hog nerf and a D.Va buff! It’s early Christmas.

Declining Damage Resist on deadeye is probably just gonna feel really bad tbh.

Especially since the central mechanic point of the ability is you have to hold it.
