Massive W patch

Doom buffs I’m always nervous about, but these don’t see like too much
Queen nerfs completely necessary
Rat nerfs, always love to see it
Support changes are kinda all over the place
More frequent dashing I think will encourage the non-cringe playstyles for mauga
Hanzo ult shredding shields is an interesting buff, but it destroying turrets makes me feel bad because I still remember those 2016 days where he’d try to invest his entire ult into taking down your turret not knowing how it worked

Speaking of, those 2016 days are back, and I already had a hanzo try that on me today, lol. But yeah I never thought we’d see a classic Overwatch let alone integrated into the live game client, but yeah it’s exactly what we expected. Nice trip down memory lane and also neat getting tor retry some of the heroes I didn’t play much back then. The event also gives some good perspective on how the game changed for better and for worse over the years. Lot of small details which is nice, like they put the winston recall cutscene back the first time you boot up the game.

Soldier mythic weapon is decent. Really good kill effect with how it harvests souls and it’s neat how you can do the flourish while sprinting so it doesn’t interrupt normal gameplay at all. My only gripe is I wish the face on it looked a little more serious/evil, think it’d sell the design better.

Orisa’s old skins got custom spears, nice.

We’re due another quick play hacked before the end of the season, and also the new hero trial in all likeliehood, so we still got some variety left.

Also if you didn’t see there’s a pretty good new reaper skin available on twitch drops

I think it’s all good except for the Doom buffs. He’s been getting micro buffed consistently for over a year, and now he’s the only tank that demands total focus and multiple direct counters from the enemy team. If they buff him to the point that he’s good at mid ranks, he’ll be unstoppable at high ranks. He’s only not played a ton there now because DVa is still overtuned, so she’s the dive tank.

I am a simple woman, I see no Reinhardt buffs and I do not care about the entire update. I am glad you are happy though. I am not even going to play on it, realistically. Not because of the no Reinhardt buffs thang, but because I am loving Overwatch Classic.

Why the hell did they buff Tracer and Ana? That makes no sense!

Also the Moira buff seems meh and probably shouldn’t have happened.

Honestly, I dont care about the patch. The best patch would be releasing Classic as a stand alone game.
