Nere-2268 · January 9, 2020, 10:26pm

Don’t worry, it’s a bug, it wasnt on the patch notes. They will fix it soon enough, we can’t have oppressive teleports now can we. =p

Prett-1169 · January 9, 2020, 10:27pm

Remember it’s not in the patch notes so don’t get your hopes up yet

Kūhaku-21240 · January 9, 2020, 10:27pm

can someone give me a link to ptr patch notes?

Alienist-11982 · January 9, 2020, 10:27pm

Almost certainly a bug… but its not he first time a change didn’t get reflected in the notes either…

Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – Jan 9, 2020

Overwatch PTR Patch Notes – Jan 9, 2020

A new Overwatch patch is in development and now available for testing! To share your feedback or report any issues, please post in the PTR Feedback or PTR Bug Report forums.

Please note that the below patch notes only include changes currently available for testing on the PTR. While many of these changes may also be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in a future patch, the PTR is PC-only and only reflects changes coming specifically to that platform.

CUSTOM GAME OPTIONS

The Lobby section of Custom Game Settings has a new option “Data Center Preference”. This option provides the game creator with more control over where the game will be hosted. The default “Best Available” choice automatically provides the creator with the best quality connection available to them. We only suggest choosing a specific datacenter if no single datacenter can simultaneously provide the best connection to all players. This is usually only the case when the players participating in the custom game are located in different geographic regions of the world.

Are we sure about that? I tested it and didn’t notice the difference.

Kitsundere-1861 · January 9, 2020, 10:31pm

Idk, maybe he is wrong. It is something you would definitely notice because it takes like 2 seconds to build.

what-21551 · January 9, 2020, 10:38pm

Here’s a quick video I made:

Naz-11562 · January 9, 2020, 10:40pm

This would unironically help her a ton and make it the actual niche grav counter they said they wanted it to be. But I doubt it will stick

Mozts-1810 · January 9, 2020, 10:40pm

Guess I opened the wrong client, lol.

Devil-26652 · January 9, 2020, 10:41pm

Can we… can we keep it?

Azzera-11903 · January 9, 2020, 10:42pm

Please keep it in! It helps her survivability so much!

Also these days her tp is so predictable it’s almost bad.

what-21551 · January 9, 2020, 10:42pm

This would be a REALLY nice buff to her survivability. if only they could also lower the cooldown too…

Nere-2268 · January 9, 2020, 10:45pm

I doubt we get to keep this because “hypothetically overpowered teleport strategies” and that sort of stuff.

Instantly teleporting people with no ability to react to said teleporter is still very strong and more firmly makes her into a cheesy teleport bot that relies on strategies like capture Hanamura point A quick to win games. And then rest of the time she’s just… garbage.

If this is the buff to make symm more viable, I’m not all that happy with this buff from balance perspective, even if it would allow to tp away from graviton surges (finally!). If she’s too strong of a teleport bot, you bet they are going to keep her utter garbage otherwise.

JuicyPig-2328 · January 9, 2020, 10:49pm

i bet the official reason when they fix it will be that “the blossoming animation of symmetras teleporter is iconic and we dont want to take away this animation from her”… cries in sticky beam

GreyFalcon-11737 · January 9, 2020, 10:50pm

Can you sentry bomb with it, or does it not move the sentries?

Drowsckab-1655 · January 9, 2020, 10:50pm

You can sentry bomb it.

GreyFalcon-11737 · January 9, 2020, 10:51pm

Welp, that’s broken af.

If people wanna keep this “bug” as a feature, they better ask for that to be removed.

Drowsckab-1655 · January 9, 2020, 10:52pm

It’s actually kinda busted. On PTR you can instant TP bomb a Zen and they are dead af.
