See guys? It’s not that difficult to just provide the damn (alleged?) leaks!

Speaking of which, two things leap out to me:

  • They took away Sojourns railgun?! I’m no Sojourn fan but that seems a bit… drastic. If anything here makes me suspect the leaks are fake, it’s that.

  • They removed Suzu’s cleanse. God forbid any hero dare to be so much as counter adjacent to Ana, amirite?

Looks fake but we’ll see

Considering they said Roadhog’s damage was on the chopping block

If those Widow changes are real, she’s dead. Now she needs to be reworked.

These are all written backwards from usual notes

Devs usually go "reduced/increased FROM (original #) TO (new #) "

OP’s are all saying "reduced/increased TO (new #) FROM (original #) "

Hog’s damage doesn’t need a nerf tbh.

20 to 18 meters could be quite substantial for hog coupled with more downtime on hook

Didn’t say he did but it’s what blizzard said so these notes don’t make sense

They never actually said his damage is on the chopping block.

All Dawson said was that he’s getting a nerf to his one-shot

And increasing cooldown and decreasing range on hook is technically a nerf to his one-shot.

Cause he’s able to do it less often and has less range.

I made those changes. I reformatted everything incase my source included trackers like capitalizing certain words so they knew I sent this leak.

Basically it was to cover my bottom from my source knowing who they leaked this to.

Aaron keller said this exact sentence I said 3 days ago in an interview, look it up

The only reason why this sounds real to
me is the unnecessary hanzo buffs which is something they’d certainly do.

(These better be fake btw)

They kinda make sense if they forgot to write in some nerfs.

Given that all the other ranged oneshot DPS are getting hard nerfs.

where is the sauce?? was it deleted? or is this bait

If you mean this interview, technically the article said it, it’s not a direct quote.

The article also refers to the PVE as singleplayer, so clearly details are not their strong suit.

Definitely fake. Whats a 1.0 headshot multiplier supposed to be? They would have qritten removed the ability to headshot.

Is it just me or does it feel like this will do absolutely nothing to help with the Hog problem

If true. I was saying this forever. Why does Orisa get a free Fort when she ults. No one elses abilities get magically reset for no reason.
