…why buff Brig? She doesn’t really need it at all. An unnecessary change imo.
I can’t wait for the Mei revert though! Thank god it’s going through! I’ll actually start playing some more Mei!

Not sure about that change honestly…
I can imagine scenarios where it may end up costing a match
Like you need to stall…but you cant get back because someone dies 3 seconds after you and now your respawn is longer

FINALLY. This is the biggest buff to intractable, hard-to-cap final points you could think of. Defenders will stay dead for an entire respawn wave, instead of trickling out in the order you killed them to continuously delay the capture.
Good. Defense should be staked elsewhere and not on trickling onto the objective with stall heroes during the last 3 seconds of the match.
Also, this is mainly intended to minimize offense trickling, but the side effect is that it’s a net buff to offense so you might actually be able to complete maps like Rialto more often.

Finally reverting back to release OW2 Mei, rather than this stupid Deep Chill trash combo.
Group respawn test for non-Comp modes before adding to Comp is a good idea.

I love how a certain cowboy seems to always get buffed despite there being other DPS heroes in a much worse place.

all this is gonna do is make people leave OW permanently tbh
and now players who get backfilled have to suffer even more.
They should fix the matchmaker instead of this, but that would require them to take responsibility for their trash development

I’ve been waiting for this smart decision from the OW team since people started boycotting 2CP.

I’ve been suggesting something similar for years now…I like that they don’t adversely affect people with legit connection issues…
Personally I think they should extrapolate it further….30 mins is nothing to a serial leaver

Nade now negates 200% healing; if an ally attempts to heal you, they now deal damage equal to 100% of the healing they would have done instead. Perf!

Balance changes are good. They’re still being a bit too safe with it and punishing Torb from viability because of hero favoritism is still toxic, which is the bad side of it.
When it comes to the leaver’s penalties they better except considerable increases to their churn rates. Hopefully sizeable enough for a rollback on this one
