Melee does NOT need to do more damage, it serves as a finisher for a majority of the cast and that's all it needs to do.

heroes like junkrat, soldier, and roadhog would be made completely useless if ammo was integrated. youd have to redesign almost every hero if you added ammo

Is it just me or is this game utterly boring now?  I can't take this game seriously, competitive isn't serious to me.  The biggest reason this game will never be truly competitive to me is because of unlimited ammo - all it does is promote spammy bullstuff.
Limited ammo wouldn't even change it. People die so frequently that it's only going to really harm better teams. It would also be a severe buff to Reinhardt and D.Va, especially since Reinhardt doesn't even use ammo.
And what exactly do you mean by 'spammy bullstuff'? If you're more of a fan of cover-based shooters, you definitely picked the wrong game. Try going back to Call of Duty.

Rocket hammer fuel, duh

overwatch is a bullet hell in a sense

most heroes dont even have secondaries so running out of ammo would leave you to smack people with your melee that does 1 damage

- Server Browser added
- Big bastion changes
- Eichenwalde destroyed gate no longer comes down (i.e. remains rubble)
- D.Va can now block shots directly out of the barrel, no minimum distance (You can now protect people who are pulled by roadhog)
- UI changes to custom games and the hero gallery/ more options added to custom game
- CTF now a permanent mode with 12 new maps (taken from other Control Point mode maps)
- Sensitivities for a lot of abilities were added, such as nano boost and widows grapple.

overwatch must be too high-level for you if your thinking is still bound by primitive gaming mechanics like ammunition.
Haha, I actually ranked at rank 61 in season 1, when at the time pros were 76+ (the rank system in season 1 was broke, even getting to rank 90 was impossible) so no, its not too high level.

You're telling me classes such as Zarya, Reaper, Junkrat, or many other classes would not be different if ammo was an idiot?  I think you're the one thinking primitively here.

Wow, such a horribly executed insult.  There are plenty of other games that would have made sense to mention with that.  Sorry I don't play COD, I'm not that much of a friend.

They wouldn't be overpowered, and if ammo was existent they'd be balanced different than they are while there is infinite ammo.

Sorry. I'll let you insert your own cover-based shooter next time.

these changes are so hot, especially the mercy and dva one (bc i play those the most)
the bastion changes look really interesting too.

edit: yeah bastion is really fun now. it actually feels pretty balanced.

bastion was my top played hero in the beta so I'm looking forward to returning to my roots

all those bastion memes from release will finally be relevant again
