Director’s Take – Tricks, Tweaks, and Treats for Season 13

interesting ram change, but maybe an unnecessary one, again.

you’ve sold him with a virtually infinite ultimate that was turned into a joke , an ult that is not even on 6 or 7 base seconds to compensate for losing virtual infinity potential. not even with an attack bonus per enemy in radius during cast, no extra armor beyond basic nemesis form, no regen per kills, no ravenous vortex inside it’s radius fx during block, nothing at all.

and now you wanna rip off his barrier piercing just for 2.5 dmg multiplier?

why not 3.5? not in a sarcastic way, i’m serious here.

what will happen to dooms block, deflect, fortify, and zarya bubbles with the new multiplier?

will ram charge dooms fist faster now?

fortify counts as a barrier or not? it adds hp and makes orisa yellow

javelin spin counts as barrier? deflect?

zarya bubbles will still cap to 45 particle core charge per bubble?

blue HP counts as barrier? because you made SYM have vampirism over blue HP and barriers, does it means that ram will destroy zen and sym with 1 punch and 1 basic attack?

meis ice block is a barrier? meis ice wall is a barrier too?

it’s very confusing…

:confused:

Was really hoping for some anti cheat news, looks like it’s a new season with new and existing cheaters. Woo….hoo :frowning:

Because the idea is to let it get so bad in Season 13, that they gotta change it in Season 14.

New Sombra playstyle = sucking balls

Not a good sign, when they can’t get the best players to play more than 25 games a season. :face_with_monocle:

ability lockout is one second?, i mean, at this point just remove the lockout entirely and just have hack be a “channelling” interrupter or something, cause that’s like all it is beginning to be useable as at this point. like all it’s good for is stopping ults, improving virus, stopping some key cooldowns for an impressive one second(which admittedly can be crucial i suppose but not really at lower ranks i IMAGINE), and lastly and probably the strongest usage at this point… annoyance.

Things that would have been better to see in this season,

Better anti cheat.
Way better match making.
Stopping false reports.
This list could go on and on.

Can we please acknowledge that the said director is completely, painfully, incredulously incompetent?

i havent ran into a cheater in the 4 years i’ve played on pc, so definitely not the main problem of the game, and if they did update anti cheat why would they announce it? so the programmers can get a jumpstart on work arounds???

I think they’re planning on giving her a bbl for s14, but they’re still working on the tech. It could get pushed to s15.

You people have clearly lost your dang minds… every bloody time you have a decent balance that’s fun to play you completely destroy it……. This may once again be the worst patch you’ve ever planned. I won’t even be playing this patch and I can think of at least a dozen friends who won’t be playing or buying this season…. You broke so many good characters that didn’t need any adjustments……. Just to sell a widow skin well guess what…. Guarantee you hurt your sales more than you helped them.

The Brigitte nerf is uncalled for. If anything she needs a cooldown reduction on shield bash and zero delay on bash activation coming from her ultimate.

All these amazing map changes, then you go ahead and make all these nonsense hero changes all for the sake of selling that ugly Widow ‘mythic’ skin.

All the managers are utterly clueless…

Here’s someone else who’s a bit clueless.

You just don’t know what to look for, that’s why you and far too many don’t think cheating is an issue. It’s a f2p game, cheating is rampant in this game.

No SoloQ improvements? Ok, you won’t see me until the next patch.

I rarely see fellow Brig players as it is. I would think you would want to make her MORE playable to entice more people to play her. Instead, you nerf her.

I love Sombra and Widow. You didn’t nerf Sombra, you took away her entire survival kit. Taking away most of Sombra’s invisibility is like taking away Pharah’s flying ability or Reins’s shield. It’s her unique ability. You’ve made her unplayable on a Season where we will be seeing more and more Widows. Slowly, you’ve taken away everything that makes Sombra unique.

Meanwhile, Winston’s Ult is…lacking…for the last 500yrs.

I tottally thought that the Sombra Epic Witch skin is gonna be the thing that we can earn during haloween but NOOOO actually giving something to your community to grind for is not profitable (for those at least that don’t know how good marketing results in player retention)

Nah, you really couldn’t even hype us for the Halloween mode with a challange that gives out credits or an old halloween skins, the Halloween event really just give BattlePass XP.

I don’t wanna listen to all those toxic players that keep saying “just uninstall the game if you don’t like it” but at this point what to do? I don’t support this horrible shop system I haven’t purchased anything in 2 years and yet nothing gets betters, the game just gets greedier and greedier.

I want Overwatch1 back, I would rather pay $50 dollar again to get it back. Then I can actually be excited about the new skins that get added to the game because I can actually EARN THEM and they aren’t just another pricetag I can’t afford.

WHY ARE YOU THIS STINGY?!?!?!?!?! YOU RELEASE 600 USD WORTH OF SKINS EVERY SEASON INTO THE SHOP, YOU REALLY CAN’T GIVE US THE OPTION TO EARN 1 OF OUR CHOICE FOR FREE?!?!?

just take sombra out of the game at this point, why crash and burn every sombra main? Like, for what reason? cause some players feelings got hurt? really?

i still don’t understand why nerf juno? she feels awful to play now I’m force to be so close and its less healing, she has NO survivability ability, it all depends on how you position. so less healing = less ult, less range = less space and more chances to get killed by spam and random stuff. One of the best hero designs and kits in recent times and you just make it bad. Btw did bap really need a buff are we crazy? Baptiste and Illary are better DPS than 80% of the DPS ROLE. most tank busters cant do anything against tanks because of so much passive things that tanks have. I love ashe but Bob is to crazy at the moment and we kill sonbra and nerf her hack time on Bob? why? widow can hold a lobby hostage if your tank cant dive her or you have a widow of your own whose crazy to. What happed to Labs were we tested the changes you wanted before we added to the game? Plz stop changing stuff for the sake of changing things and i would love to know were you get the info and stats because there’s no way you think the game is good right now just like mercy is not doing good, sorry for the long message but i fell in love with this game and i just see it going down hill.
