New patch notes

That was an unexpected change, not unwelcome, but maybe too much.

The reduced headshot change should have been made 7 years ago. I always argued headshot damage should be proportional to the hitbox size.

I don’t understand the buff to WB. If he’s performing better after recent update, why continue buffing him?

Currently, Ball isn’t a dangerous tank. His disruption style is annoying, but without a flanker to help confirm kills, Ball is not lethal.

The buff to Piledriver and Minefield will enable some lethality. I can see his ultimate getting kills with the increased knockback. Usually when a Ball drops Minefield on top of me, I just stand still so I don’t activate more mines. Then I proceed to clear out mines. Now, I can see myself being knocked into another mine and getting killed.

I don’t want to rag on the devs, but I just don’t understand their reasoning. Ball’s recent buffs were good. This might just be overkill.

Yeah… they’re doing exactly what people already complain about even without them doing it.

How stupid are they? Ever since OW2 they’re trying so, so, so hard to make ranks some psychological thing instead of them just representing your skill level as accurately as possible. It’s pathetic.

First the seasonal rank “reset” that lasted for 3 whole seasons with them only slightly lowering it each time, then this idiotic demotion protection and now loser’s protection. At least the first two didn’t affect your MMR, but this now does.

Dont you think it’s better to reduce Tank’s head hitbox instead of this passive? It would reward skills while making life easier for Tanks.

its a pointless change as streaks will still happen anyway…and people will continue to complain about matchmaker being responsible for the “bad” matches

Radius and LOS check on that thing is already ridiculous

im sure some people will say that it will do less damage because it passes by quicker…but i find it more important to actually get someone in it…and theres no better way for it to do that than giving people less time to react to it (as it is one of the easiest ults in the game to avoid)

Sig and Zarya didn’t need buffs. Buff Rein plz. Tanks are in a good spot.

The fight goes on…

It’s a nerf. It will do even less to tanks than before since they will be in it for less time. It will also not zone as well as it did before, which was its best usage.

me, who always manages to walk into it somehow :face_in_clouds:
