General Discussion
1

Hey all, what are your dream patch notes? Assume anything on the current PTR goes live.

Genji
No longer gets increased movement speed during Dragonblade.

Soldier 76
Damage per shot reverted to 20 from 19.

Symmetra
Teleporter activates twice as fast with double the interact range; all tp placement bugs fixed.

Mercy
Activating Valkyrie no longer breaks an existing beam tether.

Hanzo
Lunge cooldown increased from 5 to 6 seconds.

Widowmaker
Scoped shots now consume 4 ammo, up from 3.

That’s pretty much some stuff I was thinking of that’d level the playing field a bit. I don’t want to comment on too much else.

Junkrat

  • Now features a muzzle

Junkrat’s voice can be extremely grating and unfun to play against, so we’re toning it down a little bit. It should still be very fun for Junkrat players while being less frustrating for other players.

That mercy change is good. There’s a lot of situations where that half second of healing lost can be do or die for your ally. In those situations I won’t valk unless I absolutely have to to survive.

  • Genji no longer gets his shift from an assist elimination
  • Scatter arrow returns but this time the more the arrow bounces 2 seconds after impact, the higher the damage. The arrows disappear after those 2 seconds so they can’t do huge lucky random shots.
  • Changed Wrecking Ball to Hammond.
  • Voices are now matched with the skins! (Reaper as Reyes, 76 sounds younger as Strike Commander Morrison etc.)
  • Possible for Ashe’s dynamite to be thrown back within the fuse time
  • Removed Brigitte from Overwatch

  • Remove all the nerfs that broke a lot of characters.

  • Keep only the useful reworks (meaning just Torb I guess if the main Torbs are fine with it).

  • Proceed to only buff heroes from now on - no nerfs unless there’s a (useful and not OP) buff compensation along them.

Bonus : “The Overwatch team no longer gets influenced by streamers, pros or any whiny players when it comes to nerfing heroes”

Comments : “We feel like we ruined a lot of characters because of the pressure we’ve been under due to our demanding community. We decided it was best for them to learn and adapt to their counters (or switch heroes) to get a well-deserved win”.
