Blizzard Overwatch

I do think Junkrat needs a small nerf. They made it so his ult requires more meter to reach full, but overall I feel he is way too low risk for the amount of impact he has. Maybe nerfing his HP to 200 would be fair, that way he is still good at what he is doing but a bit squisher when it comes time for him to actually be in the fray.

Day after that post, Junkratā€™s HP was stealth nerfed to 200 HP. lol

Big update patch today. New game mode thatā€™s kind of like Tavern Brawl for Hearthstone. Pretty much new custom game mode every week I believe. Currecntly itā€™s a Genji vs Hanzo with reduced cooldowns (minus ults which take longer to build up). New skins added and a personal highlight/play of the game feature. Also, Zenyatta got nerfed pretty hard. Orbs now return to him after he loses line of sight of their recipient for 3-4 seconds. This was likely due to the Zen/Zen/Lucio or Symettra plus two Genji/Tracer meta that was starting to form. Not sure how viable this makes him, as he is the support that has the least amount of HP and mobility out of all of them.

Jesus thatā€™s definitely a crazy nerf considering he runs around at 150 hp with not too much mobility.

He pretty much needs about 50-100 more shield/health to even run with that nerf on top of a heal per second buff on the orb, because with a nerf like that, heā€™d have to go to the front lines where heā€™d likely just get one shotted by stray fire.

Also I think Junkratā€™s fine, but a slight hp nerf is fine as well. Heā€™s only kinda crazy on some of the new objectives where everyone is grouped up on a point and he gets to go ham. Pre nerfed version of his ult was pretty annoying as well.

Junkratā€™s problem in this game is ammo. With no requirement to ever pick up ammo he can sit on a point and just unload round after round with no consequence.

RIP Zenyatta

They also made it so ā€œHealing Doneā€ will now award medals for the healing support classes. HOORAY MERCY IS NOW REWARDING TO PLAY!

The personal highlights is really cool; and theyā€™re set up to easily export to, say, Youtube or something, which I guarantee will be coming soonā„¢

Overwatch weekend beta invites went out! Andā€¦

Hell yeah already played a few games, I am hot garbage.

Got the beta only to find out my computer canā€™t run it. Oh well at least this will free time to buy a new PC.

Gonna finally try out the gameā€¦ when it finishes downloading. :rofl:

How is it possible that your computer is below potato tier in 2016?

My graphics card doesnā€™t work with it. It is strange how I can run everything else from Blizzard without a problem. Either way Iā€™m due for an upgrade and I was planning to get a new PC anyway, this will just speed up the process.

Only got to play 7 games, won 6 of them.

Just me being a shit Mercy.

No worse than my Symetra, my last game is the first good game I have had with her since the beta opened back up.

Anybody else got the early access beta here on PS4? My first time playing it last night. The only character I like playing is Widowmaker so far. I wanted to play D.VA because she kinda makes it feel like Iā€™m playing Titanfall, but for being in a giant robot man suit she sure canā€™t take a fucking hit. Which sucks because the cannons are effectively super soakers after a range of 8-10 feet.

Might try Hanzo later.

I need to hop on this, but Iā€™ve been going hard on Paragon. Maybe try it this weekend.

The game is fun. With free open beta this weekend, I would recommend everyone to give it a try.
