It appears that version 1.29 is not yet live. If anyone on the development team or community team who happens to be reading this can confirm or not if this new patch is going live today (Friday 9/21), that would be appreciated. Cheers! (^^)v
The torb rework sounds promising. Torb teammates can actually be relied on for damage now (hopefully) and the ult sounds awesome for shutting down GOATS and other nonsense that torbâs daughter sets up.
Wasnât 100% behind all the hero changes lately, but I must admit that theyâve set up a meta that is constantly in flux now (instead of just being one thing like Dive).
Some QoL changes Iâd like would be for last match stats to always be available, more comparative stat tracking available in-game(especially since Blizz now prohibits the use of Pursuit), and an option to toggle hero portraits in the Tab menu to show the skins equipped, and for FFA Deathmatch to be a permanent mode (for mechanics practice).
Absolutely LOVING the Overwatch League; hope they start streaming it next season on YouTube (b/c Twitch cannot stream on a Samsung TV if you have an Apple phone but YT can). Excited to see the new patch in action!
Thatâs great and all but what about actual content? All of this is balancing replacing abilities and stuff. When are we going to get something that feels new and helps the repetitiveness?
Weâll see how it goes but stuff he said in this like âthe Symmetra rework was a successâ or âthe changes we did to the support class were a successâ mehhhh.

I want to see what they are going to do for Orisa, 76 and Cree.
Pharah changes? Hell yeah higher skill cap but less splash and (more direct damage? maybe enough to be a threat to doomfist?), should solve a lot of problems, I like it.
Torb? as long as he gets some snarky voice lines to his (profanity) of a daughter when he breaks her ult, I love and hate this, since it will be another hard thing for tanks to deal with. ***pulls out what remains of hair
Balancing canât comment on since not able to try.
Colorblind/horroween = meh, since i donât care about events and am not colorblind.
QoL changes are always welcome.
Feature delay is alright, even though we really need it, but even just apologizing and laying it out honest means the world to (me/ a lot of people in my play group)
For anyone missing it, Uncle Geoff has posted details of the Torb rework in a sticky post here:
I LIVE for those Halloween and Christmas themed maps
It seems like theyâre using torb to nerf brigitte which is pretty funny honestly
I am very tempted to fan-art this to be honest.

I fear some âimagesâ will arise when you do.
Not you, just in general.
It seems my firewall suggestion has been implemented :
Feel free to pick any other suggestion in that list 
You really have a bit of an English comprehension issue eh?
The goalposts are not moving, they provided no information, âtechnical issuesâ is a catch all with no specifics. They gave no hint as to what they are trying just that something isnât working. Wow totally worthy of a dev update.
And again, if your comprehension was up to par youâd know that saying CB mode, affecting a very very minor part of the playerbase is not a complaint. Iâm stating that they added that in to buffer an anemic dev update.
Dev updates have always been reserved for large updates. The rework is the only thing worthy of a dev update but, that alone is not worth the time. This all couldâve easily been done via a forum post (like they did with specifics). Dev updates are mainly meant as a âstate of the gameâ video, everything provided in the video doesnât have anything to do with, or any updates on the state of the game. Just a rework.
Just because you are enamored by mediocrity doesnât mean the rest of us should be happy with it.
