Maybe its because they might disagree with you or think that your changes aren’t useful, I mean recently they changed pharah to get more value for landing direct hits which is pretty cool.
Gnomes are the adorable, huggable, master race who do not deserve to be punted at the slightest. Gnomish cookies are the best cookies, as long as you can handle a few burnt-bits from sparks and a slight irradiation cloud.

Custom games is an invalid argument because you get way less xp there and you’re not guranteed players will join your setup either. Expansion was not mentioned by the devs but lets not pretend that the game would benefit greatly if it recieved one. The soldier 76 thing was not a comic, it was like a chapter from a book.
Absolutely right in regards to PVE and the fun thing though.
On the topic of devs listening or not:
Customer: can you do this?
Dev: sure!
Customer: and this?
Dev: no problem!
Customer: and THIS?
Dev: ok…
Customer: You must also do this!
Dev: nah we don’t think that’s good for the game
A) Normal Customer: aiight that’s cool.
B) Entitled Customer: devs never listen to us, only the pros!

Most of their comics are short and feel incomplete, remember the bastion with a squid one? It was a a dead end and never expanded upon.
Also yes, custom games aren’t as good as a weekly good game mode, but I think their is plenty of potential there.
Just a reminder that posting the same argument over and over again will never reach a point where youre entitled to get a blue post.
Yeehaw

It was a comic though, short as it was. The soldier thing was actually just paragraphs. Words alone dont make something a comic. It needs to be panel to panel with art on each panel to be a comic.
To who though?
I find it a bit fishy these changes only started to occur the moment OWL began. Not pointing fingers, just saying its pretty coincidental.
Considering the amount of things in this game that are similar to what I suggested previously, I would hope this is true.
if they really were listening, they would’ve given symmetra a buff to her health, improved the QoL for her turrets, and fixed her teleporter, her primary fire levels up faster now… cool but will she even live long enough for her potential to be fufilled like any other dps? will her teleporter actually counter a grav combo? no
They called it a comic so I will, it shows that what ever OP was posting about was him complaining about stuff that has been addressed in some way or is coming soon.
So it means OWL isn’t responsible for any lack of content? OH WOW, the scapegoat is gone.

I’ve always known that they were listening. Every now and then you find a locked thread, and you can only imagine what went down in there. You also see threads that they comment on, and often times it’s a very unassuming thread that wouldn’t normally get that much attention. They also have those “Forum moderator” edits on an original post if the poster gets out of hand. This usually happens with naming and shaming, or masking inappropriate language.
Well I say to the devs what Cell said to Piccolo in abridged.
“Well good for you you’re wrong”.
They can call it a comic all they want but it doesn’t make it so.
I agree it was just complaints though, but I still do not feel custom games really counts.
After a year of us Junkrat mains saying that he needed a nerf of his ult charge, and many unnecessary nerfs that didn’t address the issue directly, they nerf his ult charge.
I’d say they’re deaf.
“I’m not like you, I’M A REAL MAN” b**wjob princess

Not sure how you managed to misinterpret that.
It means its still sucking most of the attention. How come we haven’t gotten anything new leading up to season 2 of OWL? It might not be at fault, but its pretty damn coincidental.
I think they realized they overbuffed Junkrat. That’s one thing. I’m just glad they read the feedback before ending PTR.
you can’t overbuff heroes or the become broken. I’ve seen Reapers escape Gold and make it to Masters with just the 50% life steal for example. How funny that is despite Reaper still being terrible at certain things. They managed to use something that was overbuffed to escape their ELO,
Just picture what would have happened if Junkrat was still 140 damage with the same ult charge he has on live server? He would get ult too fast and win team fights nearly every single time.
OWL just kicked off, right now it is getting the most attention from blizzard all year with maybe the exception of the grandfinals.
My point being that OWL really isn’t at fault itself, but I think twitch chat actually maybe more directly a reason for it, the number fluctuations for every map but Busan (quad dps map) and their constant groan let out when they were about to run dps but went with goats might be a more direct line to the DEVs than the forums.
Maybe its the casters who see it and talk to some devs, or even their own employees who are seeing those twitch chat groans.
But overall I don’t think these changes are cause of OWL, heck they are gunna throw every OWL team through 10 loops to find a new meta.
At this point, thanks to the team.
For trying to make the meta better for everyone.
Especially for the dps players that watch owl.
Since the fancy command center( and I really love it) dps heroes doesn’t have much screen time where you actually could watch them.
Not sure if any of these changes makes it to owl, but i think they said it should be basically live patch, to some degree. Would be nice addition between the stages imho. Pro’s adapt too, mostly faster than the others.
