IN CASE YOU DIDN’T GET THE MEMO, KAPLAN, OVERWATCH ISN’T ABOUT OFFENSE, STOP MAKING TANKS AND SUPPORTS OFFENSE.
Brand new ptr buffs and nerfs
With Doomfist’s new skins comes a large nerf :(
Doomfist’s rocket punch has 20% less distance, and his seismic slam will only target ground below him. Also! Doomfist’s seismic slam now shows you how much damage will be dealt from what height. The numbers will remain no matter which crosshair you choose. Doomfist cannot bounce off of items while rocket punching If Doomfist rocket punches towards a charging Reinhardt, both are stunned (instead of only Reinhardt)
McCree has gotten another buff, this time to his flashbang! Characters speeds are SIGNIFICANTLY slowed when flashbanged (so watch out flankers)
Reaper is now much quieter when he shadowsteps, and it is harder to see when his targeted location.
Reinhardt now swings his hammer 10% faster and should be more responsive. When two charging Reinhardts collide, neither take damage, but they still stun each other. The same applies to a Reinhardt charge/Doomfist punch collision.
Zarya’s ultimate, Graviton Surge now disables all movement abilities of affected targets much like Junkrat’s trap which means: no charges, flying, blinking, or teleporting away now
These changes affect only the ptr for now, if you like or dislike any of these changes, be vocal about it. Overwatch does listen to its community
Okay so long rant from the mod of this blog. They're completely banishing Mercy's ultimate. There will be no more resurrection ultimates, instead it will be a "very long" cooldown solo-rez ability. Prepare to lose your shit, those who got 'Heroes Never Die'! tattoos. Instead we are "gifted" with the ultimate "Valkyrie", which will mostly only benefit Battle Mercy's, and give her full flight, longer range healing, and a small up to her pistol. Oh and the already long cooldown on Resurrect ABILITY is slightly shorter. That's it. Kaplan nerfed Mercy. Hard. Because they felt it was "disheartening" to the players for her to full-team resurrect. This is by far the stupidest bullshit I've ever seen from Kaplan.
Analysis of the incoming PTR Changes for Overwatch, by Me
https://blizztrack.com/patch_notes/overwatch_ptr (Written on 11/18/19) jesus christ have yall seen these patch notes? Orisa is completely fucked, as is every shield tank, but her worst of all. Rien is fucked, Orisa is fucked, and poor Sigma, brand new, is extremely fucked. They didn't even lower her barrier cooldown back to what it was before they were trying to nerf her shield. 10 seconds for 600-point shield? you kidding? god. Dive is coming back 100% from this. Legit, no question. they didnt even bother to nerf winston's barrier shield with it, so that bubble is going to remain just as strong as before. At least widow will be harder to play, so thank god for that (I hate snipers), but the genji and moira changes were just plain unnecessary. None of the "buffs" the shield tanks are getting are actually going to make it worth playing them, because blizzard still doesnt know that making heroes worse at their jobs just fucks them over, and no "alternative adjustments" will fix that. You'd have thought they'd learned that with the mercy nerfs and how bad of a spot she was in after that (she still isnt considered a "main healer" anymore), but now the 2 of the biggest main tanks and the newest off-tank are just down the drain.
D.va is definitely gonna make a comeback, that's guaranteed. Her armor and defense matrix are getting buffed, and with shields meaning even less, and one of the main healers getting FUCKED (bruh, Moira, 80hp/s to 65hp/s? that's 5 more than pre-heal-nerf mercy, which was still not super fast), she'll just be able to melt absolutely everything. And with Zarya getting a minor buff, she'll need to eat more graviton surges than before, so I'm predicting she's making a comeback, 100%. Pair her with Hammond or Winston, and you'll have the unstoppable dive meta, if you combine with say, Lucio and Ana (who will probably get nerfed later because god forbid any of the healers be good at actually healing, thanks blizzard). But yeah, Dive Meta returns is my prediction. And the dps who will sit at the top will be Doomfist, who is still unpunishable (don’t try to argue with me on this, literally all of the pros have said the exact same shit), Tracer, who's buff means even faster death for healers who can no longer hide behind shields, and Genji, who they felt the need to buff his ammo for no reason.
Now, for an opinion.
Dive is the worst meta, ngl.Some people really like it, but dude, there is nothing fun about not being able to actually hit anything because the movement of their dps makes them extremely hard to hit, as their whole team kills you in .2 seconds, sending you back to the spawn room over and over again. It’s not fun.
Lastly:
LMAO BRUH THEY AINT EVEN HIDING IT. LOOK AT THE BUG FIXES FOR JUNKRAT IT JUST STRAIGHT UP SAYS "ORISA" LIKE YEAH LMAO SHE'S FUCKED! XD
Well we got the Mercy replacement we asked for, maybe this will bring down the nerfs. I know who I want my new main to be :)
Mercy Overwatch
IF THEY DARE TO NERF MERCY ONE MORE TIME!!!
