D.Va
Defense Matrix
Cooldown decreased from 10 seconds to 1 second
A new resource meter has been added. This meter will deplete while Defense Matrix is active and then recharge when it’s not in use.
Defense Matrix takes 10 seconds to reach full charge from empty
At a full charge, Defense Matrix will last for 4 seconds
Defense Matrix will now remain active as long as its assigned hotkey is held
Defense Matrix has been reclassified as an alternate fire and is now bound to RMB (by default)
An option to “Toggle Defense Matrix” has been added under Options > Controls > D.Va
Self-Destruct
Ultimate cost decreased by 15%
Explosion delay reduced from 4 seconds to 3 seconds
Explosion no longer damages D.Va (the player who activates it)
E RMB does full damage again.
>Whole Hog
>Ultimate cost increased by 45%
why
Are they making more maps or just characters and cosmetics? Maps are all I want.
BLIZZARD DOES IT AGAIN
GAME OF THE YEAR
PATCH OF THE YEAR
WAIFU OF THE YEAR
AWWW YEEEE FEELS GOOD BEING A BLIZZKEK RIGHT NOW
>>344785330
Healing yourself with give you ultimate charge now so it's to balance that out
>>344785330
His self-heal now fills the gauge.
>>344784759
>Posting /vg/ gamegeneral patchnote related crap on /v/.
FUCK. OFF.
Mercy
Caduceus Staff
Damage Boost
Bonus damage increased from 30% to 50%
Effect will no longer stacks with bonus damage provided by another Mercy
Resurrect
Ultimate charge cost increased by 30%
Movement is no longer prevented during activation
Guardian Angel instantly resets upon use
>no longer do i need to whip out my gun to kill shit
>>344784759
There are some crazy changes in this patch.
>>344785365
More maps, more characters, more skins. If you left TF2 because of the hats though I'm going to let you down easy. Skins are going to be more abundant after a while.
MEATY

>>344785134
so she went from decent to indestructible mode.
How long until this patch is officially released?
Zenyatta
>Base shields increased by 50 (now 50 Health/150 Shield)
>Orb of Discord and Orb of Harmony
>Projectile speed has been increased from 30 to 120
>Transcendence
>Movement speed is now doubled upon activation
>Healing amount increased from 200 to 300 health per second
>Developer Notes: While Zenyatta has never had the healing abilities of Lúcio or Mercy, he made up for it by dealing more damage. However, his lack of mobility and low health has meant he’s struggled to find a place in many games. To increase his effectiveness, we've made several changes, the biggest of which is an increased shield pool. This will allow him to go head-to-head with more enemies. The Orb of Harmony and Discord changes are also a quality of life change, helping Zenyatta move his orbs around and apply their effects more quickly. And lastly, we’ve increased Transcendence’s healing throughput. This ultimate was designed to be the most effective against sustained, high-damage fire and least effective against short, high-damage bursts (like D.Va’s or Junkrat's ultimates). But, due to the amount of healing it provided, there were times when it was possible for even sustained fire to overcome Transcendence’s output. We’ve made the heal powerful and also allowed Zenyatta to move around more quickly while it’s active.

>Ana only heals for 50 per shot
>>344786009
>Self-healing abilities now charge ultimate abilities. As a result, some heroes’ ultimate costs have been adjusted (see below).
You might not even notice it if you self-heal a lot.
>>344786132
It's 75 in the video.
>>344786132
>she can't get a height advantage or positional anything
Why would they add a ranged healer that has to shoot allies when she can't get visibility because she has no movement skill?
She also doesn't heal herself over time, she has to wait for her grenade cooldown
>>344786009
It's in response to self-healing giving you ultimate charge now, so might even be a net buff.
>>344786132
what the fuck
>roadhog no longer is a charge battery because he can charge his own at the same time!
have i been redpilled
>>344786132
How long does it take to shoot?
50 hps is still pretty good if you can do it across the map.
>>344785370
wew
>>344786201
>>344786231
Ah yea that makes sense.
Can Ana shoot herself to heal herself?
>>344785870
>sharpshooting cowboy character
Gee, I wonder.
Tankbuster McCree is the dumbest shit anyway, glad they're taking him in this direction.
>>344785625
Yeah I know. The skins are a bit shit but not as stand out bad as tf2. Plus it isn't quite as much if a unified style, I don't think. It's sillier.
>>344785134
The last thing is a bit too much. Other than that its alright i guess.
>Peacekeeper
>Now maintains full damage at longer distances, but will deal less damage at extreme ranges
Fuck yes, fucking finally
>>344786224
in the reveal trailer they literally show her in a position on Anubis you can't get to without some sort of mobility like wall-climb
Sooo, with all these buffs, especially on the Zen, can they give WM back her power?
>>344786716
What, you're too shit to land headshots? Fuck off
>>344786614
but we have seen her abilities, she doesn't have one. I think they put her up there for the trailer only.
>>344786483
Fuck, now I want them to give him some kind of bullet bounce mechanic. Or make a character with an ult where for like 10 seconds his shots ricochet
>>344786716no

>>344784759
>Those D.va and Zenyatta buffs
>>344787018
Zen buffs are nothing. He will still be worse than running a Mercy or Lucio, and now Ana is still better since she has a disable, stops healing, lowers max HP and does 80 damage body shots.
>>344786747
I can HS, but I still want more power.
>>344784759

current ptr
>>344786810
>>344786614
She's also playable right now on the PTR and can't get there, she has no mobility.
>>344787139
The point is that Zen now has the durability to be a decent Offense/support hybrid, granted he isn't the best as a main support but he offers a lot of offensive utility.
>>344787139

Thank God, I'm glad I don't have to burn out my mouse to stay relevant anymore
>>344787182
She's a tank, they made her better at tanking
>>344787180
she was literally the most braindead sniper ever created, even babies could get tons of kills as her. she's still pretty stupid in the right hands.
>we will now have a mccree running around doing 70 damage hipshots with a pocket mercy doing +50% damage buff
its over

>PooLoo hasn't been moved to being categorised as a defence hero
Fucking why
>>344787484
I'm not saying she's terrible. I'm just saying I don't think the nerf is justified anymore.
>REINHART STILL DOESN'T GET CHARGE FOR HIS ULTIMATE

This patch is going to be yet another shitfest.
>>344786716
Seeing how shit the new sniper is and how shit Hanzo has been forever I'm guessing they would rather have snipers be shit characters than actually make them viable.
>>344785330
God damn, I thought blizz would shit themselves and do it something like 25% so I can have ult every minute.
>>344787792
I fucking hated that. the overtime would take longer than the cap. Instead of rewarding the winner it just created a give-me situation for the loser.
Ana is such a slutty name.
>>344788127

Just tried out Ana on the PTR and she's a ton of fun. Her sleep dart is no where near OP as it sounds. You're only down for a second.
Also as someone who mostly plays D.va the new buffs are fucking great. Especially that new defense matrix. You have to right click to activate it which threw me off at first though.

>>344788984
She can attach herself to Soldier and Widow for even better effects.
>>344788645
Pharah will only do 180 per shot. She'll need two shots just as before, though now she can shoot+melee any 200 hp hero for an instagib.
Meanwhile, McCree will oneshot them from a mile away. McCree will be better than ever, mark my fucking words. And have fun playing Pharah when any McCree can just dink you twice without aiming and kill you.

The trailer was misleading about Ana's mobility. She has no mobility powers or passives, so she can't actually get up on top of the gate in Anubis.

No, his orbs were permanent in beta. Meaning you could just slap an orb of harmony on a tracer and she'd have 30 hp/s for fucking ever, or slap discord on someone and they're on your shitlist until they die, running around with effectively 66% max health.

any other skins in this patch or just ana?
>>344790771
Pretty sure they don't need a PTR patch for skins.
They will probably be shipped with the live update.
Ana is pretty nuts. Her healing is very strong, healing debuff is also very strong. Sleep gun is hard to land reliably but very good vs big targets like tanks.
But her ult is what really makes her OP. If you ult an ulted Genji is pretty much a guaranteed team wipe every fucking time. Ulted Reinhardt can walk through an entire team too. Pretty much any character with AOE attacks or ult can easily wipe a whole team with her ult.

Why are they ignoring the biggest design flaw of the game? You don't use a single frame buffer for a FPS, that's just absurd.
For those who don't know, I'll give you the tl:dr. The less frame rate you have, the more input lag you will have, this is caused by the single frame buffer. It's even noticeable at 100+ frames. Pretty much no modern PC FPS has this feature for this reason.

Is she gonna be a decent Reaper counter? I'm guessing she can disable his soul harvest passive, and sleep should be good for the team to burst damage him
>>344791839
your shit.
>>344792081
If she's godmode. Kinda like how a gods level widow will probably shutdown a reaper anyways

Yeah but she doesn't need to headshot to land her no-heal debuff. She sounds like a way more interesting counter-character than Widow
i guess zar is balance?

Reaper is also a ridiculously good target to use her ult on.
Not even for his ult either, he just annihilates anything nearby with the buff on him.
