Overwatch Megathread

[Nymph]

they had the english ones up for a really short time then removed them

its basically just mccree and widow nerfs and thats loving it

either way, https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/4o1uiv/overwatch_patch_notes_june_14_2016/

McCree and Widowmaker changes were the only ones they said they were doing anyway tho

[Jairo]

can we just remove mei from the game and be done with it

no more balance necessary

widowmaker STILL CHARGES IN ONE SECOND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH

Changes aren't in game yet but I don't think that is going to change

widowmaker STILL CHARGES IN ONE SECOND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH

this is actually my main beef too, the damage nerf is almost irrelevant since she only needs to wait for like half a second more before being able to double bodyshot you again

aaaand since the headshot damage is the same if you do the math she can still fullcharge my reinhardt and forget up 300 hp within one fire strike which is really loving stupid
and she can still grapplehook way away as soon as she gets flanked
they didn't fix her problems they just nerfed her damage

It seems like Blizzard is being very slow and careful with the way they issue nerfs.

If they nerf her/McCree into high heaven and completely dumpster them, the balance of the entire game might go out of whack. There are 20 characters - it's a complex ecosystem.

I think Blizzard is going to watch closely how this patch effects the game, and then if it's not enough they'll make more patches. This is the best route if we want Overwatch to be balanced.

I'd be fine if they just removed widowmaker from the game

i agree, itd be very easy to make those two completely useless, so its nice that theyre doing it bit by bit

unrelated note, i think lucio needs some changes. his shockwave should have a lower cooldown, less of a blowback, and should be able to deflect projectiles like rockets and junkrats grenades. then they should take away the completely pointless wall running. i think this makes him a more effective support character.

[Doughboy]

then they should take away the completely pointless wall running.

in what universe is the wallrunning completely useless

[SetGaming]

they should take away the completely pointless wall running.

idk about you, but you can do some pretty cool stuff with the wall runs
