Overwatch Megathread

Maybe they are prepping a large patch or somethin'.

Blizzard usually puts something big towards the table that takes time.

Anyone else kinda bored out of their mind with this game?  I made a post bitching about the false Sombra hype and about the somewhat lack of content in this game on the OW forums and got over 600+ thumbs up on the post.  I really like this game, but I think the devs could do a better job of adding actual depth to the game and buffing and nerfing things correctly.

Buffing and nerfing is not easy, which is why they have the PTR servers up when changes like these come up
you affect one character, you also affect the whole team comp

ie. buff mccree range, pharah out of "meta" due to her being easy picking as mccree

widow damage nerfed, squisher heroes/supports back in play and have more survivability. In turn, widow rarely gets played now

mccree range nerfed, soldier76 reliability up, pharah usage back up. Mccree was not in play for a while until flashbang/fan buff which greatly improved his anti-flanking kit. In turn, heroes like tracer or genji may be less reliable (although u see a lot of genji's still)

Not that I don't believe you (any blizzard forum is terrible anyway) but can you link the post? Blizzard have done a great job so far with content and there are very big signs of a large content patch in October.

When you don't have a rein on your team

I played this a bunch on PS4 and Xbox One at a few friends houses, and I just played Junkrat and bounced around the map barraging the control points and stuff, lol.

my first was a tie, 2nd loss, 3rd win, 4th loss, 5-9th win, 10th loss
then I placed 2600ish for plat which is fine cause I should be able to climb p easily

[Kochieboy]

P sure I won 6 or 7 of my matches. I got grouped with some really well coordinated players. We kept in good communication.

my first was a tie,

Is it possible to tie? Haven't seen it happen so far.

[Regulith]

Any word of them adding new comp-point rewards? I remember a lot of people thinking the gold skins would be limited to season 1 and they'd come up with something else for season 2

[Poliwhirl]

now i know a lot of people say their team sucks even if they also suck but listen i was playing mercy and i was healing a dva, and the dva literally let a phrarah walk right by her, kill me (i was close enough to dva that she absolutely heard it and most likely took splash damage) but didnt turn around until after i died. that's only an assumption, because when i went into ragdoll the dva still wasn't turned around and i saw the pharah walking away from the dva in the killcam. were they playing on mute??? you'd think they'd at least notice that i abruptly stopped healing them.

[Regulith]

Mercy can also boost damage of an ally, so I guess could be used for a push (back.)
