Why aren't the armor changes in Stage 2?

Competitive Discussion

Watching the Philadelphia Fusion VS. New York Excelsior game right now (Season 2, Stage 2, Week 1, Game 1), and it doesn’t appear that one of the biggest GOATs nerfs made it through to Stage 2? If you check the health bars of the players during or after a rally, the bonus armor is stacked under the shield instead of over them. However, in patch 1.33.0.1 on February 19, 2019, the order of HP was changed to (leftmost first rightmost last): " non-recoverable shields, non-recoverable armor, non-recoverable health, recoverable shields, recoverable armor, and recoverable health". As Paris is in Stage 2, which was also added in 1.22.0.1, should the HP priority order changes not also be in Stage 2? Or is there just something I’m missing?

PS: Baptiste, who was added in the patch following Paris’ release, is also in Stage 2, if Paris’ addition wasn’t enough

EDIT: Big thanks to Shy in the comments for clarification: “No. It has, it doesn’t show on the health bars. But looking at the POV of players it on top. And if you look, the armour disappears after.”
Effectively the player status’ at the top of the screen didn’t update to rearrange the health bars properly, if you needed clarification

No. It has, it doesn’t show on the health bars. But looking at the POV of players it on top. And if you look, the armour disappears after.

Ok, thanks! That’s a strange bug to get through whatever testing they must’ve done before the broadcasts. Knew I was missing something :slight_smile:

Did you watch the same games I did? Way less goats than stage 1, of course they’re still going to run it where it is good. The game is about adjusting team comps to to map and situation, goats has its place, and is now in said place rather than every place, what more do you want? Should they just ban all 6 goats heroes to please the entitled kids spamming goats residentsleeper even when its not being run?

yes i did and if you notice when one team goes goats, so does the other b/c it’s what is more powerful. And this was regardless of map type. They are trying to do other hero mixes, but in the end they want to win and thats what goats does.

boring. I’d rather stick my elongated human sausage in woodchipper than watch that

I noticed they ran it on maps it was particularly good on, you know, like every other comp is ran. But to say that it is still stronger than any comp on any map is just not true. I guess some people just can’t accept that the game is actually starting to change for the better. Have fun on the hate train, I’ll be over here watching games like Defiant vs Justice AKA not goats at all.
