Cassidy says a bunch of different times for his ult now. Matthew Mercer must have worked serious OT for that joke.

ill admit, the doomfist empowered slam doesnt even seem that bad. I feel like that could be just in the game and it would be pretty alright

I don’t recall how this worked last year - is the patch operative in all games or do you opt into it in the Arcade?

Arcade is a meme for 2 days

sometimes people have to try out the insane things they suggest so they can see how insane they are

Lmao, some of these are actually interesting and could actually fit in the game, imo.

Idk if it’s true but it seems like the Widow changes were influenced by the forums because I’ve seen it before and depending on how it’s implemented, I don’t think it would be a terrible idea especially if it opened her kit up to more tools/buffs because it allows way more counterplay.

Some are legit really interesting even if they sound wild on paper. Sound wave deflecting projectiles? heck yes!

Last year it was on the experimental card. Would be nice for them to use that for the first time in nearly a year.

Ashe is broken af ,…

Best thing that happened to Overwatch in a long Time!

If they really wanted to freak people out they could have given Bastion an actual voice line for his ult.

Reinhardt can fly. This is a good and healthy change. I’ve never doubted the Overwatch development team for a second.

REIN CAN FLY!

the genji one is the best! LOL thats great

GENJI

Developer Comment: Spamming a voice line for healing finally does something after everyone else has tuned you out!

  • Sometimes Genji heals himself when requesting healing

he has mesa’s waltz!

The fact that most of these “joke” balance changes are legitimately better than their purposeful balance changes tells you everything you need to know about their balance team.

Winston changes are the best. WINTON!

Support Role Passive

Gain 30% increased movement speed for 4 seconds when reaching low health

Dev Comment: It’s tough to stay alive when flankers are about. This change should even out the odds a bit when you get ambushed. Please don’t use this offensively.

Baptiste
Exo Boots

  • Jumping with Exo Boots has more horizontal distance, scaling with the charge amount
  • Hold Jump after using Exo Boots to keep bouncing

The devs have given the support role a tracer

This should stay for the week : / not 2 days.
