NEW MAP – BUSAN

Travel to Busan, South Korea and battle for control across three distinct locales within one map: Sanctuary, Downtown, and MEKA Base.

Explore the serene setting of the Sanctuary, surrounded by an ancient temple, beautiful gardens, and historic architecture. Clash in the bustling metropolis of Downtown, where players will fight across a busy PC bang, flashy karaoke bar, and central light rail station (just watch out for the train). Contest for position in MEKA Base—home of South Korea’s frontline defense against the gwishin omnic attacks: D.Va and the rest of the MEKA squad.

  • HERO UPDATES

Ana

Biotic Rifle

  • Increased the precision of the Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed slider. This can be found under Options > Controls > Hero > Ana

Brigitte

Shield Bash

  • Now knocks down and gets knocked down by other charging targets (e.g Reinhardt and Doomfist)

Reinhardt

Earthshatter

  • Now will consistently hit enemies near walls
  • No longer will hit enemies that enter the damage cone after the “wave” has passed that area
  • No longer will damage enemies behind barriers blocking it, even if the barrier is later dropped or destroyed
  • Will always travel up inclines and around the payload

Developer Comments: We’ve given Earthshatter a complete overhaul to combat inconsistencies with its performance. These changes will make Earthshatter’s behavior more predictable and effective.

Widowmaker
Widow’s Kiss

Now if you excuse me, I got a Vince Mcmahon meme to make.

Sigh, still no sign of fixing Sym. :frowning:

4

So, what does this brig change do exactly? It sounds kinda weird, like a tiny shield can knock down a roady like earth shatter can.

5

Basically if Brigitte hits a charging Reinhardt or a Rocket Punching Doomfist with her shield bash, both players will get knocked down and stunned, like when two Reinhardts charge each other or when two Doomfist’s punch each other.

6

I can wait for a certain someone to make an “Coming back” thread and people to dramatically cheer as nothing has happened and no previous threads existed.

7

So you know how when two rein’s charge at each other they both fall down? It’s that

8

My bad, intense restlessness caught up to me.

9

A bit disappointed that there is no Torb rework

10

Torb re-work is a long time away, they were still brainstorming ideas for it last time they brought it up.

11

I’m more bummed that they didn’t fix the bug on sombra with the “detected” not showing up half the time.

12

Finally.

13

Mercy fixed. Thats nice at least.

I can’t seem to find the Filter on the Hero gallery. Where is it?

Edit: Nvm, im blind.
