General Discussion
1

They are on the competitive overwatch subreddit, this for OWL but I’m sure they will be in the main game too, JQ got some hard nerfs but nothing with her damage just shout, baptiste, dva, orisa, bastion, sombragot some buffs. If I’m leaving anyone out sorry, go check it out! I think it’s a good start but more heroes need some buffs/reworks I feel.

Read it. No Doomfist Buffs, not bringing back his slow on hit and its going to f2p with monetization?

Love the hero, hate the idea (f2p). May wait on playing now that I see this list, happy for the JQ nerfs, needed for the league and for everyone else.

i mean, meh

junkerqueen got nerfed a lil too hard, could’ve been 75 not 50.

bap did NOT need any buffs especially to his damage

brig nerf makes sense but still iffy about it

sombra buff is good, but she still lacks damage

If they’re telling us everything I expect we’ll know what Aaron had for lunch too. I’m betting a tuna sandwich.

They’ll probably going to adjust accordingly, if 50 is to low, bump it up to 65 or even 70, etc.

Probably on Rye bread too! :face_vomiting:

Thanks for posting. Glad we’re getting some news and not completely left in the dark. Thats 3 big leaks in 4 days?

Blizzards handling of ow news continues to disappoint.

Anyways those JQ nerfs were needed but I think in return they should increase her axe swing speed. Sojourn nerfs are good news as well but I still think she’s gonna need more before launch. She does too much

Yeah the bap buff was confusing. I thought he was in a perfect spot, maybe a slight damage nerf. No Ana nerfs still is just confusing

Reminder that this is a nerf not only to JQ but everyone else that has/gives OH. So Brig, Lucio, Torb and Ball. Also i dont remember in OW2 but both Sigma and Doom should work under OH so but of them would be nerfed as well.

They buffed bap…

And reaper gets one change…

Ok then :expressionless:

19

Not them buffing Bap but not Mercy lolz they really hate her, she was the only support with a near 0% OWL pickrate but they skipped right over her to buff Bap who was already pretty viable after his burst heal buff

The Dva buffs are so minimal.

The biggest change here is the booster revert to 25 damage.

She really needed this one in particular so thumbs up there.

7 second MM won’t matter.
12% reduced requirement for call mech is fine but not enough to not be a detriment.

0.5 second cooldown on DM and tracking on micro missiles fixes her.
