Experimental waiting room

It would be downright ludicrous to go another week without an experiment at this point. Just saying

Well, the main thing I wanted from OW2 PVP was a queue times fix. And they did that in spades.

They also are going to

  1. Make Bastion less “problematic”
  2. Make Mei less hated
  3. Get rid of CC spam
  4. Make Sombra probably less of a “Throwing for 98%, and OP for 2%”.

Next Exp patch:

Mccree

  • Health Increased from 225 to 250
  • Peacekeeper Damage increased from 70 to 80
  • Flashbang cooldown reduced from 10s to 5s
  • Peacekeeper Recovery Fire Rated reduced from 0.5s to 0.4s
  • Deadeye now has invincibility frames for the first second of the ultimate duration
  • Mccree now wields two Peacekeepers

Developer Comments: Yeah have fun with our game heroes!

Hopefully today breaks the dire streaks. Hoping for some TTK increases on tanks and CC reductions, if that comes from power creeping tanks’ stats, nerfs or a mix of both I don’t care anymore.

26

they might be making bastion able to move in turret form for less damage and increase recon form damage for less speed

27

Yup.

that sounds like the overwatch dev team

this is actually pretty good as long as they reduce the damage

31

nah more like…

Genji

  • Shuriken damage decreased from 28 to 14
  • Dragonblade Damage decreased from 120 to 60.
  • Abilities Removed

Developer comments: We saw a minor presence of genji in OWL, so he might be too good. So we’ve decided to tone him down just a little bit. We will be sure to keep a very close eye on him and make sure he lands in a great spot!

oh god help me I might have to commit the sin and start playing McRightClick

33

pretty sure a lot of flex dps players including genji mains have switched to hitscans (mainly mccree). considering well you know, hes the best dps in the game right now… lol. and most dps are just… underperforming atm… :pensive:

34

ik like my boi shadder2k switched to McRightClick and I swear to god if my bois Necros and Water do that too I will go CRAAAAZY

35

Seems like we just got a blue post reintering the OW2 changes. Odds of experimental get lower by the minute, sadly.

Shadder gave up on OW because he got bored of just being mccree every game. Hes doing Apex or something. Dont fret, necros is DEFINITELY not switching to any other hero ever. Hes that dedicated and will play genji even if he does 1 dmg shurikens :joy:

37

necros is my main man he will never give up

38

Revert Brig nerfs:
200hp back to 250hp or at least 225hp
