>all this fucking salt

naisu junkrat change

Doctor's recommend a 9mm.

When do we get more animal heroes? Winston feels a little out of place in a game with just humies and robots but if they have monkeys who act like humans in the future why not anthropomorphic reptiles or cats >:3.

get them to play other heroes

How do I get out of diamond?

>Hates feedback
It was our feedback that got Mercy nerfed

She needed it, she shouldn't be the #1 healer. Either that or give all the other healers some major buffs...it's less work to just nerf Mercy

She truly is underpowered and underutilized
When will their skills be appreciated? ;_;

it has to have some sort of realism, an intelligent ape isnt too farfetchd

GIB TITTY QUEEN JEFF

Winston was as far as they wanted to go.
Or at least they say so.

theres no need, shit mercy's are crying at every change thinking its a nerf like they always have
any mercy with a brain knows its not a total nerf.
she has complete freedom to ult when she wants to and we will be seeing twice as many mercy ults per game now.

Battle mercys are praising Odin.

How the fuck do you do the moira jump? Everyone says to just jump before hitting an object and that barely gives me the air time other people get

This Mercy nerf is ridiculous, what should be done is her speed reduced to 75% and her res brings back heroes at 60% hp.

>No jetpack cat

It's not fucking fair. At least he'll show up in a comic later or something, fucking lame we can't get him as a second flying hero though.

>tfw no more pathetic fucks duo queing with their boosted pocket mercy

by playing good

This, I want a female hero with big titties that jiggle.

Ding Dong the witch is dead.

I dream of the day the correct way to play Junkrat will be to use mines for mobility and the aiming to actually matter so I can get sick direct hits while blasting off

We need more heroes. Blizzard speed up heroes development you lazy ass company! We need DYNAMIC GOOD SKILLFUL HEROES NOT BORING SHIT LIKE ORISA AND MOIRA!

Why are all Moira skins shit

I want to marry Lena Oxton!

Uhm, why? Literally nothing realistic more realistic about a fucking monkey being a scientist than other animals.

because she's granny

I watched EeveeA test out the mercy changes
he mad
I hope he quits the game like he said he would last time she got nerfed

>pathetic fucks
>not a chad getting his gf to support him in game then suck him off after all the subservience gets them going
Sorry you're single

no more furries.

I bet they really regret not putting new heroes behind paywalls.

The epic ones are alright. I really want a witch costume for her but I guess we don't get that because of Mercy's.

Mercy bitches BTFO

GAME IS UPDATING. What are we getting graced with this time. And it's a big one.

>still able to ressurect dead teammates
>still has rediculous amount of healing/damage boosting during valk
>still virtually invicible since she can hug the skybox and regen all her health in 2 seconds
>implying she still won't be a must-pick

I really hope this makes these dumb boosted bimbo cunts quit the game forever.

nobody would have accepted shit like this in a 40 to 60 $ game

>Battle mercys are praising Odin.

Did they buff her pistol or ult-rate or something? Seems like a straight nerf.

Well, goy?

I'm play alot of mercy and I see how this hurts the hero, but it doesn't kill it

Like how the fuck do people not understand that she is super useful because of her mobility, its not just her fucking rez

RIP Mercy.

the porn on tumblr is absolutly fuckin amazing

>they discarded this design to make an oi luv cavalre's heer bing bong

>No longer makes Resurrect instant.
what does that mean exactly? it won't be off cooldown or it'll be just like her current shitty regular rez?

how to fix mercy

ultimate duration reduced to 8 seconds

mercy no longer regenerates health outside ultimate

valkyrie charge increased to 2650 points

there shes fixed

>managed to do enough that I felt that I was bullying her and taking her down even when she used her ult
>they slow her down more and make her easier for me to bully
I feel like they're just giving me more and more birthday presents.

>Junkrat mine falloff is massive
>He goes back to having more one sided bad match ups than anyone else just like before the buffs
>His pick rate will drop from average to low
>People will call it balanced cause now he has a sub 10% pickrate in comp again

Almost everyone who was crying about junkrat didn't understand why he was bad before, and most of them didn't understand they weren't supposed to fight him close up after the buffs when they had to see him more.

He's got all the same problems from before again.

have fun deranking reddit

Don't bully Tracer

in valkyrie resurrect is instant and doesnt have the delayed cast time like when you use it outside ult

...

They'd have to give him a totally different gun, otherwise there's just be no reason to play him over pharah.

Passive healing rate reduced but not exclusive to only ult, during ult it stays the same rate

ult 15 seconds

charge rate stays the same

res brings back people but not at full health

all of the rest remains the same.

Good, he should never be a playable option past Platinum

by far the biggest problem junkrat ever had was taking self damage from explosives

a close second was mine having a 12s cd for no apparent reason

Is the witch finally dead? Can I start playing this game again? So fucking sick of that braindead no skill heal slut.

>brings back heroes at 60% hp
>instantly heal them back to 100% once they're revived using caduceus staff

I think it'd be better if the speed was reduced to 50%, but put guardian angel on a larger cooldown. it would make for strategical use instead of "CANT SHOOT WHAT YOU CANT SEE CUNTS"

That's just Mercy cosplaying as Tracer.

anything longer than 10s for valkyrie is far too long

Heroes that deal less damage than Sombra

>Ana
>Mercy
>Rein

Heroes that deal more damage than sombra

>Everyone else

Oh boi hack better be strong as fuck then-

>It isnt

As a Junk player i'm fine with these changes. They didnt touch his primary fire and didnt listen to the fucking idiotic retards who wanted his grenades to do less damage or bounce less or whatever.

The two mines for mobility is enormous and they preserved that. The damage is even still the same if you throw them precisely. His ult did charge pretty quickly, especially with two mines so i'm fine with less ult charge too.

You know damn well they're going to keep playing her despite their bitching.

on the ptr

What did the author mean by this?

D.Va!!

They cut part of her mobility too.

NNNGH

>junkrat jumping up your asshole, spamming bombs and then mining away for 120 damage was fun
he was far too difficult to punish, now you can actually do something about him without him spitting out 120 damage mines without needing to aim.

Stop pretending to be a flanker you EMP slut

>by far the biggest problem junkrat ever had was taking self damage from explosives

Removing that didn't stop him from being garbage before.

He had more really bad matchups than any character in the game should have.

He has zero chance at range, poor performance at medium range, had very bad matchups against high mobility heroes like tracer, genji, and now doomfist, two extreme hard counters in pharah and zarya.

He got straight shit on by like 1/3 of the cast, and moderately shit on by a bit of who else was left.

t. high skill floor player who sucks and gets his ass kicked

junkrat is perfectly manageable

with no reason to save our ult we will be ulting all the fucking time now, thats personally good enough for me.
the 15 sec ult is fine i am often suprized how much work i can do in a single ult with a blaster on infinite ammo already.
having to hold back because of rez was the worst part of being a battle mercy.
this is no longer an issue.

While the Mercy nerfs are nice, bet that Freedo guy from Your Overwatch must be fapping at the speed of light. He loves his Mercy nerfs.

Really? Then oof

RIP Mercy

>Complain about Blizzard balance
>Posts their awful opinions and "solutions"
sausages

LOVES TO PLEASE OLD MEN FOR FREE OHOHOHOHO

>he was far too difficult to punish
his crit box is halfway into his chest and everyone with any level of range on him will wreck his shit.

People were annoyed because he overnight because not only godlike at CC but also with much more mobility and defensive ability than other burst damage characters.

Reaper is supposed to be the CC offensive hero and he couldn't hold a candle to the twin mines and grenades that junkrat could just unleash into someone at a better distance.

Honestly the best nerf they should give Junkrat is to make his mines only detonate after they've hit the ground, and auto detonate when someone steps on them.

I hate HotS. They get the art team with basically 0 boundaries. I'd play the fuck out of it if it wasn't a shitty moba.

>nerfing a 95% must pick hero is bad

i cant think of a single game that has balance this bad

the ideal end result is so far from current Junkrat it might as well be a new hero, but the thing is, Junkrat is the closest thing I got, not only on Overwatch, but in any class based multiplayer fps.
It seems everybody looks at the grenade launcher and thinks mindless area denial and no one remembers the high octane skillshots

>stands behind a wall lobbing bombs at the choke/point

Mercy also got her speed cut in half from the Valkyrie now. She's not going to battling much.

>le edgy Mercy image

>but also with much more mobility and defensive ability than other burst damage characters.
Pharah still beat him on mobility and couldn't even be hit for shit by half the cast.

>Reaper is supposed to be the CC offensive hero
Reaper is supposed to be an anti tank.

>Honestly the best nerf they should give Junkrat is to make his mines only detonate after they've hit the ground, and auto detonate when someone steps on them.

So take away mine jumping in air and remove mines effectively from mid combat use. Great, totally not guaranteed to make him permanent shit tier.

That sounds awful because then the weeb can bully him for free by autistically hopping around at mid range never getting hit.

So you're saying that i have a chance!

her GA speed increase has been reduced from +100% to +50%, still faster than outside of valk. Her regular valk speed is the same.

must always be stalled and bullied.

Oh shit i'm sorry mr. truth i'll keep my opinion for myself next time :(
I wish we had a discussion board to talk about it though

If he's lobbing bombs where he can't see you just use one of the 5 other ways to approach that he isn't lobbing, and/or switch to zarya and abuse his spam for full charge.

Genji pretty much shits on him with impunity in the ptr now.

it dosent matter and i doubt his changes are going to be over anytime soon

the problem with rat is that he killed the fun for over half the player (plat and below) base and needed to chill.
i expect he will have more changes over time.

>insted of getting the owc nation colours and the all white away colour we get shitty mixed colours

fuck blizzard and these shit teams

He had better defense capability but he wasn't more mobile than the two burst flanking duo. The only thing that Junkrat really benefited from was bypassing barriers with his mines before pulling the trigger so he was able to get damage off.

What is this fucking silver rank?
Not even that guy, Junkrat isn't scary because he can fucking bombard things

>it dosent matter and i doubt his changes are going to be over anytime soon
Once he dips back to uselessness blizzard isn't going to touch him for a while because there won't be as many people bitching about it every single day.
