My predictions were correct (and wrong)

Looks like I’m safe from having to play any competitive :p

On the other hand, however…

Damn, I didn’t get any of 'em right. I honestly didn’t think we’d see a duplicate mythic recipient already, and I was sure it’d be Kiriko before Mercy… oh well :woman_shrugging:

I’m really glad that I was wrong, and that we’re not getting hero team-ups. :relieved:

I’m also glad that we’re getting a second Talon support! Well, near as dang it, anyway. “Allied with Talon”. I haven’t been able to watch any Mizuki play yet but he sounds like he’s got an interesting kit, plus Hinder on a support might go a long way.

they addressed a staggering amount of my complaints with that spotlight, whether good or bad we’ll see

Complained about UI issues a lot. Addressed.
Complained about broad passives a lot. Addressed.
Complained about the 2 after OW. Addressed.
Complained about perks a lot… Blizzard get on it! I guess they did say they’re changing a lot of them, maybe that counts.

Yes, this means Blizzard is listening to me. Me. Only me. I am the main character :moai:

Do you play Ball? I know he’s getting a perk where he can fire off a second, smaller set of mines a short time after using ult.

Yeah, my predictions were pretty far off too Toustys. The only poster who I saw predict accurately was LUNATIC and Jetpack Cat! :cat_with_wry_smile:

I was watching Karq stream and he just finished going over new perks for heroes. Not every hero will get new perks. Brace yourselves for Widow and Hanzo tho. Widow gets a new major where she can charge her scoped shots to 125% and can one shot a Bastion (which she could not before) and it pierces. It can 2 shot a Rein.

Hanzo gets a new major with ice arrow which slows down enemies, and can be used together with storm arrows and is a bit of an aoe and you do not have to hit the enemy directly to activate the slow,

Lifeweaver loses cleansing perk and gets a new minor where you get healed when standing on the petal. He also gets a new major where you can throw a seed at your ally giving them 75 I think overhealth and it heals them (not sure if it also heals as well or only gives overhealth).

Traver gets a new minor where Blink distance is increased 20%.

Cass gets a new major where his rolls heals him for I think 15 HPS for every bullet reloaded.

If I remember any others will edit this post.

EDIT: Moira’s perk where she can switch between pure damage or heals with Coalescence is buffed, not a lot tho. Other perks unchanged.

Illari: buff to her major perk where she can burst heal no longer consumes her energy meter. Other perks unchanged.

Zen: New minor perk, heals Zen between 5-10 hps when shooting a Discorded target. Other perks unchanged.

Kiriko: Foxtrot major perk no longer speeds up cooldowns but buffed the speedboost to 4 seconds. Other perks unchanged.

Ashe: New major perk where coach gun increases the distance boop and now can be used again for less distance boop, so basically using coach gun two times in a row but needs to be used against a target not on self and the second one boops for less distance. Other perks unchanged.

Winston: new minor perk where you get 10% I think speed boost for every enemy hit by Tesla cannon. Other perks unchanged.

Ball: New minor. Can now activate mines two times :smiley: this one is fun. Once he uses his ult and throw initial mines can be used again to throw 7 additional mines.

This perk was wildly inconsistent apparently so this is definitely for the better lol

If you need predictions for the next lottery just holla :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I’m also REALLY happy we’re getting OWL loot in the esports lootboxes and not OWCS skins
