Leeked patch notes, sauce included

It looks like they lowered her automatic fire damage from 13 to 9 and cut the rate of fire in half.

Her auto fire dropped from 130 dps to 45 dps lol

In no way would that be a buff to her primary. And that alone makes the notes look fake. Why would they give her the lowest primary fire damage in the entire game?

Watch the Moira patch give her the cleanse instead.

wheres the sauce. sauce or it didnt happen thats the rule. also ****ing clickbait you monster

Anyone that believes this are out of their minds, theres no Hog rework, nor even a one shot nerf.

Which is why I hope it’s fake. Because if kiriko loses cleanse. Tank will go back to be an absolute hell to play being perma slept / anti all game. I mean hell, it already IS like that if one of your supports don’t decide to go kiriko.

I def read it wrong. I read it the other way around. With the spread being zero, 13 dmg a bullet, more range, and 10 shots / second.

Oopsies

It’s all good. The formatting is suboptimal.

What if they made Take a Breather do some healing through anti? Like 50%. Since it’s a special healing thing made just for Roadhog only, it would make a bit of sense maybe for it to do some healing through anti.

Her primary isn’t even buffed. It goes from 90dps to 65dps according to these patch notes. The only buff is that it’s fall-off is buffed from 20m to 30m, but who’s using Widow’s smg at that range

And her Scoped shots, according to these patch notes, now do 225 damage on headshots, which means characters like Mei, Reaper, Torb, will survive. And Widow will do a LOT less damage to Tanks too. 75 less damage per shot to be exact

Yea I read it wrong.

But literally all she needs is health reduction.

150 HP, see how she does. Or 175.

Her having a slightly less dmg one shot doesn’t change it’s still a one shot to most of the cast, so the changes are pretty pointless. Especially because those squishies that do live, will be one shot anyway which she can follow up near instantaneously.

It is. We all know this patch is never going to be enough

Take-a-breather could be converted to temp hp.

Yeah, that’s not happening when they said Roadhog was due for a “soft rework”; and there were technical issues (read; coding issues) in this getting done sooner. In other words. there mechanical changes coming to Roadhog.

Yeah, so no point then. These changes don’t make sense and clearly show that whoever wrote these has no clue on how Terra Surge works or can be cancelled.

Sensible changes, but 16% of 1680 is 1949; not a a whole number.

See, you can tell this are fake because they literally have no clue how Widow’s primary fire works.

Unscoped Widow’s Kiss falloff is 20 to 40 meters. And 13 damage per shot with 10 shots per second, for a total of 130 damage per second. Reducing to 9 damage per shot and 5 shots per second is 45 damage per second. Literally capable of being outhealed by Mercy.

Language here is the problem; they won’t say critical damage multiplier, they would say that Charged Railgun shots in Overclock would no longer be critically hit.

They would not make Dragonstrike unhealable via Transcendence, especially since Damage-boosting from any source has no effect on Dragonstrike for the past four years.

You can tell this is also fake, because they have no clue how Protection Suzu clears debuffs. That invulnerability is what does it, and the invulnerability is still retained.


And finally, there’s no source here. So these are obviously fake patch notes.

HAHAHAHA IF WE HAD TO WAIT LIKE TWO MONTHS TO GET THOSE MINI HOG NERFS!!! I WILL UNINSTALL OW!! what a team balance!

Omg they must be real…

Take a look at the Kiriko changes

There have been many questionable balance decisions made by Blizzard, but I still have enough faith and hope in Blizzard that it’s all fake.

  1. Keller had said that Roadhog’s Dmg should be adjusted and Alec Dawson (succeeding Goodman) had said in the stream with Flats and Emongg that Roadhog would get a soft rework.
    Increased Breather CD by 1 sec and decreased Hook Range by 2m?
    No never. you can’t even call that a slap on the wrist. It contradicts both Keller and Dawson, and Team 4 would lose all credibility thats left.

  2. The widow changes. With that, the hero would be de facto dead. mouse death. I mean seriously unplayable.

  • scope:
    Damage reduced from 120 to 90, max 225 dmg. So Torb, Reaper and Mei would be twoshot from now on. As if that wasn’t enough, the cadence of the shots is even slower. 0.2sec to be exact which is huge for that. It was already bad when it was increased from 0.75 to 0.9.

  • And then the SMG, what the heck. How do you render a weapon that was already of very limited use almost useless? Answer: Exactly like that.
    Increased spread to 0 and falloff by 10m is all well and good, but halving the rate of fire AND reducing the dmg by more than 25% is utopian too much.

Furthermore, at 100%, Widow has a charge of 36-120 and not 39-120
2. the SMG nerf is too much, and Team 4 would know that. They proved that with Bastion as well. His primary had spread in Overwatch, which was hijacked in OW2. Accordingly, they have lowered the rate of fire from 8 to 5 shots, but increased the dmg per shot from 20 to 25.
