Watch Baptiste further fueling the GOATs fire. I'm calling it now.
Agreed! One of the best ideas of Overwatch is giving traditional DPS roles to the healer characters (Ana is a sniper, Brigitte a tank, Baptiste is sorta Demoman etc) I just wish they would go all out on the idea. I want Ana to get a sharpshooter potg for headshooting three teammates and healing them. I want headshots on teammates to heal more (instead of the granny juice). I want Ana to reward good snipers that are willing to play healer. I want to bounce around small health kits around the map as Baptiste and make a mad air-shot on a teammate for extra health. Of course, for that to work health would actually have to mean something and everything under 250 Hp not dying in one or two hits of burst damage.
I would like Baptiste more if he wasn't literally Demoman from TF2
I haven't been around for awhile. What exactly is goats?
3 tanks (Zarya, D.Va, Rein) and 3 supports (Lucio, Brigitte and Zenyatta) team that has become the go-to setup in most competitive formats.
That sounds absolutely terrible to play against.
And even more boring to watch, to the detriment of Blizzard "Muh e-sport" Activision.
https://twitter.com/ChengduHunters/status/1100477913151954945 I really like the Hunters, especially since they don't play goats as much.
As a wrecking ball main, I support this line of thinking. Though I have some doubts that baptise and hammond can even synergize at all. I really think that baptise will provide alot of utility for dps heroes like how brigette provided alot of utility for tank heroes. Its gonna be very interesting what people come up with.
Speaking of hammy boye, being able to shield while in ball form is a major buff. Now you can shield while flying through the middle of the enemy team and get that fat 1200 HP without immediately losing it.
Every battle with it is unending until someone pings their ult. It's fucking awful
Speaking of buffs. https://twitter.com/blaseOW/status/1100851589500174336
Blizzard Confirms Overwatch League Week One Viewership Up 30% Yo..
Now imagine if it wasnt just a Goats vs Goats game.
New batch of Hero changes on PTR: PTR Hero Changes Update Junkrat Frag Launcher: Impact damage increased from 40 to 60 Lucio Speed Song: Effect lowered from 30% to 20% Amp it up: Speed song amped effect reduced from 70% to 50% Wall Ride: Passive movement speed gained while wall riding increased from 20% to 40%. Mccree Bonus damage ramp from the previous 1.34 change will now begin after 1.5s, down from 2.5. Reaper Passive: Healing amount reduced from 50% to 40% Symmetra Photon Projector: Primary fire damage ramp speed increased by 20% Zarya Particle Cannon: Alternate fire radius reduced from 2-3 to 1-2 (based on energy level) Zenyatta Orb of Discord: Effect reduced from 30% to 25% Orb of Destruction: Damage increased from 46 to 48 I’m not sure exactly when these changes will hit PTR, but we’re hoping tomorrow or Friday. Poor Reaper. Given a bullshit change that didnt actaully help his placement in pro matches and now its getting nerfed.
What, what? When did they cut Junkrat's damage to 1/3?
And.. they still don't know what to do with Reaper.
In the new system, the movement pre-knockback doesn’t matter, but only in the direction of the knockback. Any movement that is not either into or away from the knockback is not affected. I'm not sure how I feel about this because I regularly used it to my advantage and it required anticipation to do successfully. Personally, I think they should make it sample your input and redirect knockback by 0.34 radians times the square of the sine of the angle between the knockback and your input direction.
Holy shit those Lúcio changes are pretty big.
Lucio keep getting nerfed, as always, just because he is the only characters in the game that can speed up his allies. And god damn it, why do they always buff his wallride after a nerf?
As a Lucio main one of the biggest temptations is simply zipping away from your team and chase mad boops on maps with pits. Things like this aren't really helping.
Aaaaand they nerfed Zen... Why?
Not exactly sure why Blizzard is certain GOATS is dead with the addition of Baptiste, the biggest three threats to tanks (the Discord Orb and two characters with high damage output and close range) received pretty significant nerfs.
Woah there, that's entirely wrong. It's not because you see 15 name on a patch note that it's "consequent" (even thought I believe this is how every patch should be, not a single hero should get balanced, every patchnote should see atleast 50% of the cast getting a change). It's not enough for me to say we're out of the content drought. The only thing we've gotten is Paris and Baptiste ,as usual with every year, the first hero and map of the year, nothing special
all of the nerfs were to core goats characters balancing team wants goats OUT probably because of OWL and people booing when teams play it
Was Discord really the problem, though? And does adding 2 damage to Destruction really balance it out?
Yes and no. Discord enables goats to roll over each enemy hero individually. Plus 2 damage seems like a way for saying sorry to zen for being mixed up in goats. All of these nerfs are honestly not really productive I feel like. They're reactive changes which I thought they learned not to do anymore, but this is blizzard and their balance philosophy is reactive instead of proactive.
Do we have any idea how long it roughly takes to charge Bappy Boys ult, because I've realized that that plus a bastion is pretty much guaranteed to instantly melt any kind of static defense or tanks
1750 points, 5 points every second, 1 point per point of damage or healing. You should get it at roughly the same rate Pharah does, maybe faster or slower based on your healing/damage output.
I don't think the nerf to lucio is gonna do anything, as he is still THE ONLY SUPPORT THAT OFFERS SOME KIND OF SPEEDBOOST and BOTH team lucio are nerfed so it's still going to be the same thing. Mobility is crucial.
