Anyway

Junkrat

Bomb Voyage – Minor Perk

  • Attack speed increased from 25% to 35%.

Lol. Lmao even. What a waste of a “buff.”

They could increase it to 100% and it wouldn’t change a thing about why the perk is awful or why Nitro is must pick. The devs don’t understand the hero.

Moira’s random orb buff. Doing any thing but just giving her +25 hp back.

Bastion:
Armored Artillery – Minor Perk

Removed.

Smart Bomb – Minor Perk

A-36 Tactical Grenade's self-knockback is increased by 25% and no longer damages you.

This change is nothing burger. Why it’s here is a mystery that serves zero purpose besides cutting down survivability of people who choose to pick it. The Self knockback increase is useless and no damage is meh at best.

A Zarya buff that I am sure everyone was wanting lol

I’m almost always out when patches drop

Are they the worst changes ever? (For the 58th season in a row?)

11

Not a single buff, nerf, or item for Mauga. They hate men lmao.

12

Called it on Reaper’s HP nerf. This is the way!

Calamity - Power

Ammo restored increased to 25% (Up from 20%).
Missed shots now consume Calamity stacks.

This is gonna be very painful for Ashe in stadium. Early rounds it’s whatever, when people gain speed boosts and become untouchable this will pretty much kill the build.

I might prefer the old trap perk with anti-heal, at least I can get actual value for that if I place it correctly.

There are a lot of changes targeted towards perks, which I think annoys a lot of us because we’d rather see focus on base kit changes, but the patch isn’t devoid of base kit changes, and most of the heroes affected make sense for getting changes. It’s not close to the worst changes ever (and I’m sure your question wasn’t serious, but it’s fun to respond to anyway), but I do feel like a few heroes got shafted or didn’t see adjustments at all when they deserved some. I’m just not sure the net result of everything in the patch is particularly exciting, which is unfortunate but unsurprising.

16

Yeah, cat nerfs. Fully saw that coming.

Probably shouldn’t target tanks anymore with the ultimate.

17

Heh I was typing up a post about perk focus….nvm :sweat_smile:

I said when they added them that it was going to make them lazy as far as balance goes…lo and behold that’s what they focus on now

Oh right let’s help a bit Zarya and Moira, they really need it. -_-

Kiriko lost in the void.

And yeaaa revert Vendetta to make her ‘‘smashbuttons and get random kills again’’

  • Another Escort (“Hybrid”) map. I just played a game on it, and it’s a pretty bad design and once again : it’s in Japan… I hope this map gets removed at some point.

  • The Hero select UI is bad. I thought it was a bug at first.

  • New hero is DPS (again) and she’s Asian (agaaaaain).

Please, Blizzard, we need diversity (other regions and countries), not just weeb content over and over again.

When are we going to get new games for the core game (= Not Stadium) that isn’t payload-oriented… ?

This is really getting bad.

Edit : Thanks for the map voting update that I hope will fix the Escort / Hybrid maps only horrible experience.
