Are they really buffing bastion or it's a meme?

Yeah!

STOP PLAYING PTR. LET ONLY ME SIGN IN

nth for Bastion is actually getting nerfed.

The absolute madmen.

It seems like it won't change much at all.

Redemption when?

New skin when?

So, no hanzo no widow no genji no sombra no mei server soon, I take it?

>buffing bastion
not
>horribly nerfing bastion worse than he already was

>Mei
>Cryo-Freeze
>Mei can now be targeted by allies while in CryoFreeze

Now these filthy Mei players will stop stealing my ult charge.

It's a nerf. He can't headshot. He's weaker but less situational because of buffed spread while mobile, also can heal while moving.

>people have responded so positively to Capture the Rooster
[citation needed]

Hana Song pleases devs for bug fixes.

>50% more spread
>max spread at all times
>no more headshots
>takes a little less damage

Turret mode is ruined, but recon mode is how a 300 hp solider who can heal on the move so there is that.

Has anyone tried it out yet on PTR? What are your opinions?

They are confusing participation for approval, when the participation is higher because its harder to get a win for the box.

THIS

CTF was probably the worst event brawl that they made so far

32 player servers when?
custom maps when?
cp_dustbowl when?

He went from shit to one of the best Rein counters in the game.

They did say it was the most played mode. And anyway, they had all the assets probably for it anyway.

They already have different maps converted over, you know they were going to put it in, no matter what.

They changed him quite a lot.
No one still sure whether it amounts to a buff or a nerf. I imagine this atrgument will continue forever now

>recon mode is how a 300 hp solider who can heal on the move so there is that.

Does he get headhsot damage or crits in recon mode?

>Turret mode is ruined
I like it. I am a noob Reinhardt playing quickplay and the turret mode scares me shitless. Considering that being it quickplay my team just doesn't give a fuck and doesn't put effort in the game, if the bastion is even remotely good i'm pretty much fucked

They'll happen one of these days.

I got to try it for a bit before being booted.

The transformation is really fast, and mobile healing is dope.

I didn't really notice any damage lost but I dont really play Bastion. He still melts people pretty quick in turret form.

>buff bastion
>bastion becomes commonplace
>snipers and genjis come back to counter
>game slows to a crawl
>no 'strong' heroes who can take objectives by force
>the only way to take objectives is teamwipes
>only way to get teamwipes is ults
>game continues to boil down to idling for ults to charge

If anything, ult charge should go DOWN when doing nothing.
If a character isn't actively doing damage, contesting, healing, etc, ult charge should go down at the same speed that it currently goes up at.

You could have just been friends and played video gameswith her.

Which is aesthetically better? Fem76xReaper or 76xReaper?

is there xp in custom games?

>Due to stability issues, however, we are temporarily bringing the PTR offline in order to investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve the problems players were experiencing with logging in and finding games. We don't have an ETA to share right now as to when the PTR will be online again, but we'll be sure to provide updates in this thread as they become available.

Rip

I'm not going to be friends with an ugly chick bro. Come on now.

Is this poll serious? She's a fucking joke. If she gets her hands on the objective, game's over and done without any doubt. Even if she's a stupid and bad symmetra.
I fear her as a DPS class way more than McCree or Genji. That's not normal for a support.

Took me about 30 boxes to get Ana skin, then another 5 to get Rein. The drop rate is bad compared to the others when I was getting skins about every 10 boxes.

>Nerfing a niche hero

I agree that she stomps pubs very easily and I frequently see the bitch walk past my entire team just to fry me but that's the fault of shitters, not the character.

>bastion can literally outheal a pharah hitting him with direct hits while in sentry mode

Bastion Changes

Bastion

Configuration: Sentry
Deploy time decreased from 1.5 seconds to 1.0 second
Bullet spread increased by 50 percent
Bullet spread is always at maximum (it no longer increases as the weapon is fired)

Headshot damage multiplier has been removed
No longer deals critical damage
Configuration: Recon
Bullet spread decreased by 25 percent
Magazine size increased from 20 to 25
Self-Repair

Now bound to secondary fire (formerly Ability 2)

A new resource meter has been added that deplete while Self-Repair is active and recharges when not in use
Configuration: Tank
No longer grants bonus armor
Bastion has a new passive: Ironclad
Bastion takes 35% less damage while in Sentry or Tank configuration

Anyone who said yes isn't GM

Yeah, so you could just play nothing but custom servers and level up like normal.

>mercy becomes even more braindead than was thought possible
>ana is STILL better

Waifufags, when will they learn?

Being friends with boys is like being friends with an ugly chick.

i think bastion will be in the meta now. the recon mode buffs and healing being uninrerrutible makes him like soldier but bigger.

boost servers lets go

>custom games
>aka just do whatever the fuck you want
>aka we truly don't give a shit about balance anymore
> aka please keep playing, dont leave, please

I know what a server browser is but if a bunch of autismos want to play NO SNIPERS NO TANKS NO ULTIMATES FINAL DESTINATION I'm cool with them being off in their own little bubble

More like
>we can't balance the game, just do it yourselves

And without an aoe heal that he can shoot while healing
And no helix rocket
And no sprint
And that increased size means he's easier to hit

>Make enemy waste their ults while you have them
>Afk in spawn until they're at 0%

>~70 boxes so far
>ana skin twice
>tracer skin twice
>junk emote thrice
>several times dupes for sprays and player icons
>4 gold non-event skins
>3 gold event skins (dva, hog, rein)

>one of the best feels in pic related

What does /owg/ think of this cunt?

Too bad he can't do anything about her anymore while in turret.

>NO SNIPERS NO TANKS NO ULTIMATES FINAL DESTINATION
I never thought of it this way. Holy fucking hell it triggered me memories from Halo Combat Evolved multiplayer
>tfw we will enjoy absolutely chaotic, ulti only, only flying allowed invisibility royal rumbles on OW

Fem76xReaper but only if Fem76 is a cool war granny like Ana and not a waifu with silver hair just because.

>design the game for us please

I hope the mobile healing means that Bastions camp less. I don't mind them, just hate it that they are such static dudes. Makes them easy to kill.

>Bastion is getting nerfed
>Ana is staying as is

Blizzard never ceases to amaze me.

>bought 150 lootboxes
>still missing 3 of the legendary skins
ok then. idk if i should still keep buying them...

I GOT IT

I FINALLY GOT IT

nice 17 fire, reinfart

Does that new passive mean the armor he does have negates even more damage? That's like -85%, right?

>hot as fuck
>4 million subs
>nice house
>nice car

Would flirt with 10/10.
She wife material.

FemReaperxFemSoldier is the true OTP of Overwatch

You realize it works both ways right?
If anything, it brings the match back to a zero point, where neither team has ults. Which personally sounds better to me, forces the game to move instead of dancing around waiting for ult charges.

Vehicules when?

What nerfs do you think Ana still needs. I would slow down her normal healing, so its not as effective on burst.

it worked for valve

Yes. People are misreading the patch notes believing all headshots are removed, but that's only for sentry mode. Recon mode just has a tighter spread and slightly higher ammo count.

I am growing stronger.

''New Mode: Capture the Flag

Capture the Rooster has been, without a doubt, Overwatch’s most popular brawl. We don’t want that excitement to end, so we’re bringing Capture the Flag to the Arcade as an ongoing game mode. Starting today, we’re adding Capture-the-Flag versions of Nepal, Lijiang Tower, Ilios, and Oasis, which gives you 12 maps to try when creating a Custom Game.''

>Overwatch’s most popular braw

I hate you guys. You made this happen. You had an opportunity to kill it but you made it worse. Fuck you.

No this is the true OTP.

in a platonic way

Basically he is Soldier 77 then?

Join my server
The Fur Pound pd_Numbani_v7 24/7 !rtd !em !shop 17/32 players

>most popular brawl is anything other than Junkenstein
What did Blizzard mean by this?

why are american women so shrill and fake

How did Valve manage the community? I imagine that much fan content has to have some form of curation?

Her range/falloff needs to be nerfed. Otherwise I think she's okay.

What is best skin for 76

>Bastion has a new passive: Ironclad
>Bastion takes 35% less damage while in Sentry or Tank configuration

RIP Overwatch below 3000SR

The ones with the M-16

Hopefully never ever.

...

>bought lootboxes
Stop.

All the maps have CTF variations. They lied about any future CTF plans, they wanted to implement it from the start.

Immortal

That's the power of pandering to betas.

Basically he is a shitty Soldier 76 then?

they paid people a couple thousand bux one-time for maps and things, if I recall

I haven't played the game since the whole item marketplace thing took off though so I'm not really sure how that worked

Noice.
