Sigma blocks INSANE amount of damage + he ate a grav?

General Discussion
1

I wasn’t even playing well and I blocked 30k damage in a game. However, the shield mechanic feels a little bit confusing… I keep recalling it on accident? Is there a way they can change this to make it more intuitive?

Also, I saw Sigma eat a grav??? Jeff said he wouldn’t be able to?

EDIT: It was a miscommunication. The designer of the hero (Josh) on stream right now with Seagull has said that is his intended game design to eat projectiles/ults (like D.VA)

no, that channel ability doesn’t work like DM.

I literally saw on the kill feed that he ate the grav.

jeff said that he can consume gravs damage but not the ability itself

Jeff literally said he can’t eat ults like DM, which would entail eating a grav. Eat gravs damage but not the ability itself.

So basically if you grav him, he’ll still be stuck in the grav, but he can absorb the grav damage and any incoming projectile damage

idk for sure, this is a guess

No he consumed the grav entirely, not the damage. I know what Jeff said, I heard it in stream but I’m telling you what I saw in the game.

I tryed him on ptr, he ate a moira orb

You have the replay. Record and show.

Same to you, you have replays. Record and show.

If that’s the case then it’s a bug, and Jeff will have them fix it, as you saw he stated it is to not function like DM.

I was playing Sigma, my friend was playing Zarya. It showed in the kill feed. I have no reason to lie I’ll ask him. I don’t have a replay feature/never used it.

I’ve never uploaded an overwatch video in my life, so i have no clue how to save/extract replays (btw servers are unstable, dcing, match restarts)

Other than that if i say he eats moira orbs, and more people heart and confirm, you really don’t need a replay for that small info

13

You are correct. Seagull noticed that he ate a grav(completely) as well. It’s a bug.

I’d prefer if i had to tap to stop it instead of hold-release. But since you can destroy it with no CD with a right click, i dunno, i guess we’ll have to get used to it

I don’t care if you lied or not. Just record the evidence and show it so that it can be patched out, because of Jeff’s description of the ability.

According to Jeff’s description, what you’re describing is a bug.

Replays are dirt easy to learn.

You have no reason not to record it. And recording is easy too. Just post it, so that it can be forwarded to the Bug Report forum.

Same! I kept recalling it accidentally. I feel there is a way to make quality of life improvements in that aspect.

Pliz stop, 50 people are streaming and testing.
You can test it out yourself.
The forums are poring with info.
leave us alone.

I’m not a youtuber i don’t have to record.

Except you can’t. You’re leaving the testing up to people, depending on if they run a different character than Sigma, which is a complete crap shoot.

Furthermore, we don’t know the conditions of how to reproduce it. If most people can’t get it, that means lightning struck and you’re one of the few people to have footage of it. it’s not a matter of if something needs to be recorded, it doesn’t, but right now, you’re one of the few people who experienced it.

If you have the replay, spend the 3 minutes scrubbing through and just export a video, even if it’s with your phone. That’s all it takes.

Prolly a bug

the only thing i know his channel ability is supposed to absorb damage and give him shield in return.
