Kinda Cool: When Elise Zhang was recording her lines for the game, she flubbed a line and said "sorry, sorry, sorry!" in the Mei voice. The voice directors thought it was hilarious and put it in the final game.

Reaper should have a "Hold Wraith" option

Posted: 09 Jun 2018 05:10 AM PDT

Just like Dva's Boost and Soldier's Sprint. I've noticed since they added the option to cancel wraith that I have a bad habit of double tapping shift when trying to use it. Holding down shift would solve that particular problem for me.

Dear Blizzard, i shouldn't be penalized and banned if one of your server crashes

Posted: 09 Jun 2018 10:09 AM PDT

Dear Blizzard,

I shouldn't be penalized and banned if one of your server crashes. During my last gave, even if the internet connection works I got disconected and couldn't rejoin, which led to beeing penalized and banned.

Sincerely,

An OW player

Don't worry, friends, keep it up and you'll be the same. Talking shit does not make you a better player, it just makes you stupid.

Bring back speed boost to Ana's Nano. Just make the speed boost a lot less.

Posted: 09 Jun 2018 04:35 PM PDT

Nano as an ult to me feels the most underwhelming of all ultimates. One frustratration with the old ultimate was how often Reinhardt became a target due to the speed boost. I feel as though the speed boost is necessary to chase down low health targets but should be at about 15-20%. To make Reinhardt less of a pick I would also recommend increasing reload time and fire rate by 10-15% so that dps characters have a fair shot of receiving Nano as well.

When we compare Nano to similar ults such as Super charger and Valkery it seems like it has far less utility. Nano gives 50% damage reduction and 50% damage increase for up to 8 seconds. Orisa can give 50% damage increase to 6 targets for 16 seconds while also fortifying herself to reduce damage. Mercy can give 30% percent damage increase and heal up to 5 targets for up to 15 seconds at a time while also increasing her mobility and survivability.

Mei's beekeeper skin should turn her ice spray into a bee spray

Posted: 09 Jun 2018 12:40 PM PDT

and the enemies don't freeze, they turn into a giant blister

and she encases herself in a big glob of honey instead of a hunk of ice

and her secondary fire is just a giant bee

and her blizzard is a bee swarm

also the ice wall is a big wall of oozing honeycomb

also her voice lines change: "I'm going to have to beekeep the heck out of this"

mmmmmm check please

The Fabled Ana Play of the Game

Symmetra Nerf on the PTR

Posted: 09 Jun 2018 02:06 PM PDT

They increased the tick rate of her weapon (Which was always 4) so that her exploit can't be used… They fixed it the wrong way though, because now her standard primary fire is nerfed in various ways and it's noticeably much weaker.

By increasing the ticks, it means the player needs much more precise aim, if they miss, it's ticks of dmg that was not done, while the 4 ticks before would linger a little more. Overall the dmg is less bursty which is a nerf to her killing potential.

It's weaker vs armor, because it's smaller increments of dmg done, it's way worst against armor and it's extremely noticable.

Overall her secondary is better in nearly every situation. Range, burst dmg, dmg in general, safe to use.

Overall it feels really bad to use, when at lvl 3 it feels like what lvl 2 did the patch before on the ptr. (No Exploit/50%aim)

I don't know whether this was intentional or they just wanted to fix her exploit, but it's nerfed as is.
