Doesn’t look like it, first bounce on PTR still feels like second bounce on live

Anything that happened last PTR thats noteworthy but not mentioned…?

Its a 50% reduction yeah, and it doesnt take into account that you intended to shoot the ground so it just flat nerfs the shot.

Well, the idea kinda is you aiming instead of shooting the ground on purpose though.

That is aiming… you don’t know much about bank shots do you.

why did they patch the sliding TP, its very useful and add skill curve to using her TP, why blizz why? its what makes the new tp fun to use, now u ruined it.

Well, add one less jump to your calcs when aiming then. The amount of bouncing made most people spam randomly instead of trying to hit something, but considering you’re so experienced less bounces will be piece of cake.

Junkrat is barely viable on anything that isnt Bronze to gold level of play,. The change was unwarranted in higher levels of play .

More band-aids for wounds that require stitching.
Someone lemme know when Blizzard’s Mission Statement of their 8 core values are upheld.
The past 2 years have not been-

  1. Gameplay first
  2. Commit to Quality
  3. Play nice; play fair
  4. Embrace your inner geek
  5. Every Voice Matters
  6. Think Globally
  7. Lead Responsibly
  8. Learn and Grow.

I can say at least 5 are not true with Overwatch

I can’t support a company that doesn’t practice their mission statement.
