A reasonable explanation I've heard for Pharah is that she grew up around Overwatch people and so didn't really assimilate into Egyptian culture.

Verranicus posted:Not sure why people are surprised they're not adding options for a tiny fraction of players with monitors bigger than makes any drat sense. How's that 4:3 monitor working out for you? Why would they support a monitor with a higher refresh rate than makes any drat sense? Internet Explorer posted:So wait... Are 21:9 players losing visual space off the top and bottom with this...? Like we won't be able to see as high or low as 16:9? Correct. The current implementation chops off over 30% of your view. You can't see nearly as high or below you as someone playing in a 16:9 ratio

ils posted:I love that Mercy actually got a decent buff on PTR. I barely notice the increased Resurrect charge time. The first one comes a little later, but after that, no sweat. damage boost a mccree each fan shot does 67.5 damage when boosted. keep in mind that before the nerf, each shot did 70. it's not quite the full return to glory (especially since he needs a mercy or for the other guy to be discorded) but it is still about 400 damage for the full fan and a guaranteed kill on any stunned 200 health hero

So is Reinhardt/Roadhog/Soldier/Mercy/Lucio/Zenyatta totally workable now for attack on Payload maps / Assault maps?

Their implementation of 21:9 is pretty bad. Anyone who's played a cropped 16:9 knows how cramped and in your face it feels. If they're going to be this stubborn, they should just keep the black bars as the "default" support. https://imgur.com/a/9lDcT

They were running reinhardt/zarya/zenyatta/mercy/mcree/hanzo and we got pushed into spawn because the mcree was damage boosted and he just shot whoever the zenyatta discorded. It was terrible and we all went tracer just to see how long we could live against them (not very.)

I really don't get why they buffed Mercy's damage boost. It was already good. you don't nerf an op ability and then buff one that was perfectly fine.

Essobie posted:Wait... what? What is "it" in this sentence? Setting the res to typical 21:9 res on a smaller monitor? Read the damned thread. Posted literally this page, a little further up. Blizzard will not support any FOV greater than 103, and so playing at aspect ratios wider than 16:9, the game will crop the top and bottom of your image to fill the screen.

I'm sorry Blizz doesn't want the few people who actually own a 21:9 to have a significant advantage over everyone else with their FOV.

old mercy buffs were additive if you had more than one mercy (2 mercies are 160% damage), but different damage buffs on live are multiplicative (mercy and zen are 195%)

As of now you need to blue buff someone doing 333 damage per second to match it. On the PTR, they only need to do 200 to match it.
