#ptr changes

Wait, does Ana's gun have 14 bullets per clip now???

Correct. It’s still only live on the PTR, but along with that she can now shoot through full health allies and nano herself in places like FFA or the practice range (basically any place she doesn’t have team mates to heal)

I told someone I was a mercy main and a blizzard employee manifested in the room and shot me

Okay, I don't agree AT ALL with the valkyrie rez change (i don't agree with the valkyrie ult in general but anyways) but I can somehow see where it is coming from (even if that place is the trash)

but WHY did they get the completely BRAINDEAD IDEA TO NERF GUARDIAN ANGEL?!

WHO EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT GUARDIAN ANGEL????

No.

NO.

There are different types of healers. Ana and Zenyatta are slow healers, with no abilities that help them escape when cornered. Mercy and Lucio are not. They have abilities that make them slippery for enemies and hard to corner, and now Blizzard nerves those abilities????

I don't know what's gotten into their heads. Do they only listen to dmg mains now? Is that what you idiots want?

No. Stop. Let Lucio keep his speed, give mercy her old valkyrie back or just give her the ult rez back in general and put free flying with a cooldown on E.

I'm just really, REALLY pissed at blizzard. Stop butchering the healers and you may not look like completly incompetent morons.

But, but, .... My Defense Matrix! I rely on my umbrella when Pharah ults! And 76... will still work against McCree... *if* I time it *perfectly* ;_;

There's no difference between how I play Mercy now and how I will play the new Mercy.

Except that I will make some sweet sweet headshots, I will decide who comes back to life and who remains dead & Pharmercy is now an aerial tank, thanks.

Patch notes for Overwatch PTR - Published 11 hours ago ( 1.14.1.0.39028 )

Roadhog

Take a Breather

Can now be used while moving

Damage taken while healing has been reduced by 50%

Developer Comments: These changes help Roadhog be much more aggressive when looking for hook targets or blocking for his team. The combination of these effects significantly increases Roadhog’s sustainability and survivability.

So...they let him move while healing and gave him resistance while he’s healing. Essentially Blizzard now wants Roadhog players to literally fucking jump in front of their team while huffing Hogdrogen, becoming a second-rate Reinhardt with none of the team impact or siege-breaking ability. Great. This is definitely what Roadhog needs. There’s still literally zero reasons to pick him, especially now that Orisa’s shield is getting even bigger. This ‘buff’ is like pouring water on your driveway while your living room is on fire. Fuck.

At least they’re buffing Junkrat to high heaven:

Junkrat

Concussion Mine

RIP-Tire

Junkrat can now hold two mines

Tire’s movement speed has been increased by 30%

There is no longer a time limit when wall climbing

Developer Comments: Giving the Junkrat the ability to store two concussion mines adds some much-needed flexibility and versatility to his kit, particularly when using the mines for mobility. RIP-Tire’s damage has always been very good, but it was often difficult to steer the tire into position before it was destroyed. Increasing its speed will allow players to effectively detonate the tire more often and decrease the amount of time that Junkrat is vulnerable while controlling it.

RIP-tire’s harder to kill, can climb indefinitely, and now Junkrat gets two mines. At least one Junker will be fun to play as.
