Is it live yet? I’m about to get home from work and try to play a few games but im not going to unless its live.
No, Zarya and Symm are doing 40% more damage for another week it looks like.

How disappointing.
Imagine making a PTR, having somewhat of a positive response, then waiting almost an entire month to implement it.

This is actually disappointing. The one thing that could actually hurt 222 is Blizzard taking forever to make much needed changes. If you can’t switch to whatever you want to counter then OP broken things hit that much harder.

Its sad, but i thibk its because they have other changes they might want to do and instead of having 2 cycles they are trying to cram it into one.
Its stupid and I would rather have the changes go live and wait longer for another ptr cycle than wait fot the new ones and then still wait a month for it to go live.

The problem with this is Xbox and PSN need to go through verification processes on game patches, which also heavily slows down the process.
Blizzard could probably pump out nonstop action to PC gamers if they wanted, but they have to take console into consideration and how difficult it can be to implement changes, especially if they’re fast-paced. It would place the console scene further and further behind PC updates if they didn’t try to cram.
Don’t put this on us. Fortnight (I know, the dreaded “F” game) can drop weekly updates, and they also need verification. So it’s not that Blizzard can’t, it’s that they won’t.

Yea, i dont believe that console excuse too. Other games show how it can be done. Blizzard obviously doesnt care as much as those devs.

It’s unacceptable. They’ve known for weeks about 2 seriously broken characters and Blizz’s position seems to be “lawl we’re thrilled with the response to 2 2 2!”
Zarya’s not so bad - at least she has to aim - but the Turret Hag is pure evil.

Why change them in the first place… they should have known it would been too much…
Man, people can’t wait to get Symm back in the trash bin.

She needs to get toned down a little. Maybe the nerf is a little too hard idk, we will see. The biggest problem ist the fact, that balance patches come out far too late/slow. Especially right now, since the game turned into a clownfiesta.

Yep. 2 2 2 is a massive shift and it’d be nice if they were a bit lighter on their feet.
Balance updates should be separate from other features, like some added things Workshop users can use as well as bug fixes, so that we get more constant changes. I think 2 weeks of balance changes from PTR being on live, then 1 week of a new PTR balance patch would be a great cycle. Of course they can speed it up if they need to for some reason as well, like the Omnic Crisis, for example.
C’est la vie!
Consol players can wait, they always wait when there’s a new patch anyway.
I just read an article about sym zarya and sigma holding 57% win rates in comp
This is exactly why ive had no interest in playing… cant stand to watch my team melt
That’s not even true
Actually right now sym is almost 58% and 13th of 31 pickrate
