Right, and the only buff she got was a compensation buff to whipshot… it’s sad. I loved Brig and she’s barely playable only in niche comps and maps

They also improved her healing on OTHER team mates though, both with repair pack amount and inspire, but that’s the core issue, those things don’t affect herself
There’s two things missing from Zarya. Bubble was able to block pinning from Rein’s charge at launch. I don’t remember what patch changed this. Also her bubble stopped getting charge when someone fell off the map, or hit the cars on oasis.
Zarya’s bubble can still save you from getting killed by Rein’s pin. I don’t recall it stopping charge entirely or making you bounce away, assuming either of those is what you mean. But maybe I’m just forgetting.
Zarya: You’re covered!
Teammate: Welllp, time to go play in traffic!
I just went through the patch notes ctrl+f searching for Zarya and didn’t find anything related to that.
If you could link such to me I’ll gladly add to the topic (when I get my trust level 3 back that is).
What? You are polite, nice, and I can’t think people would report you, and you post a lot. What happened?
I haven’t the foggiest.
I can run off the rails sometimes I’m afraid, but that hasn’t happened recently. I don’t why I dropped, albeit it did happen when the forum changed, I’m actually wondering if it is a bug or something.
Ugh. Brig and Mercy’s lists are just a catalog of sadness.
Also really funny to see Sym was reworked twice, with absolutely no attempts to rebalance her first two versions.
It appears I won’t be getting my trust level back anytime soon. If anyone wants to continue the topic I’ll leave the copy/paste below, should be easier to update from then on.
Sorry about this. My anger issues got the better of me once again and it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to edit the topic further.

**New Feature**: Role Queue
Role Queue is an update to Overwatch’s matchmaking and queuing system that gives players the power to choose which role they play in games. In Competitive Play, players choose their role before finding a game. The matchmaking system will create a team that is comprised of two tanks, two supports, and two damage heroes. Upon entering the match, players select heroes to play within their chosen roles. At the end of a match, competitive players will return to the main menu and select their role before queuing into their next game. For more information about Role Queue, read the detailed [blog post](https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/23060961/introducing-role-queue).

More details can be found [here](https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/new-feature-high-precision-mouse-input-gameplay-option/422094).
**Competitive Play Update**
* Starting with Season 19, we are moving the beginning (and end) of competitive play seasons from the 1st of every other month, to the first Thursday of every other month. We will also be starting the season later in the day to better correspond with developer availability during the day. Season 19 now starts on November 7, at 18:00 UTC/GMT (10:00 PST, 13:00 EST).
* We will also be introducing a rotating, seasonal Map Pool to competitive play starting with Season 19. The initial map pool for Season 19 has 12 maps, with 3 of each game mode. Future competitive seasons will see maps rotating in and out of the pool, providing each season with a different experience and identity. Information about the current maps available in the map pool is available by opening the information panel of the Competitive Play card.
1.43.0.0
* Armor damage reduction increased from 3 to 5
**New Feature: “While You Wait”**
In this patch, we’re replacing our “Skirmish” mode with a brand-new feature called “While You Wait!” Now you can choose between a variety of game modes to play while you queue for a match
When in queue, players will now be prompted to pick from the following game modes:
* Practice Range – Practice your skills—solo or in a group—against training bots
* Skirmish - Spar with other players without keeping score
* Deathmatch - Compete for the top place on the scoreboard
* Custom Game – Select a custom game from the Custom Game Browser or create your own. (If you want your custom game to be available for everyone to play, make sure to choose the setting: "Allow players who are matchmaking.”)
All While You Wait game modes are optional and can be accessed by a single player or as a group. Only your group leader can select the mode for their team.
Note: You don't have to leave your queue after a match ends to play another While You Wait mode. In order to access the While You Wait menu, click on the game mode you’re queued for and choose a While You Wait option from there.

</details>Wow. Imagine if D. Va had that 200 health, 400 armor back. She could actually tank something.
Wow imagine if mErcy had mass ress back…
She’d be a fun healer again xD
I am back beaches!
Finally got my privileges back so I edited patches 1.42 and so on, all just now. Very big sweeping changes.
I decided to keep out of the experimental mode all together. Too complicated. Maybe I’ll make a another topic just for that. This topic shall remain for the base game changes (“live game” changes"). I’ll stay out of experimental logging same as I stayed away from PTR updates.
Apologies for the delay. I try to behave from now on and not lose my trust level again.
Once again, please keep an eye out for mistakes, I did update 5 or 6 patches in a day, so let me know if you see anything, including formatting and grammar mistakes.
Furthermore, here’s a gif to celebrate my reacquired privileges. I shall put these powers to good memeful uses.

Any plans to update this post with Patch 1.47?
Gonna be a little while. Lost my privileges again because I said the nickname for Richard.
Very finicky these forums.
I’ve been seeing a lot more people losing privileges and I wonder how much the requirements have increased because I don’t see a lot of people replacing the t3s who are losing them
I feel like this doesn’t belong in the Symmetra section.
Correct of course, I’ll fix it as soon as possible.
Thanks very much! Anything else let me know.
Amazing job, I don’t know how I didn’t see it until now but amazing tracking.
Updated with today’s patch folk.
Once again, any bloopers let me know, and I do mean any, if there’s a dot, comma or capitalization mistakes, I’m listening, I want this to be clear and “standardized” as possible.
If you see something, say something.
And doesn’t look like I’m gonna get my link privileges back, so I’m trying to figure out a cleaner, better way to work around the pseudo-links.
Hey Mozts. Would you be able to move the edit notes to the bottom of the OP? It’s a pain to have to scroll through them all to reach the hero list each time!
