I thought Winston only named himself such AFTER the uprising and his escape. How's he Winston on the computer readout???

Didn't he name himself after one of the researchers? I would assume that's the Winston in the e-mails.

Maybe Winston in the game is Winston, the human researcher. He absorbed that innocent monkey to become a talking gorilla mutant. That'd explain why he thinks he's a scientist, but in reality he's a baby killing monster!

Had a couple rounds on the new map. It's not low-gravity in normal modes, except for one side-room where you can go outside and goof around. But there is now a general low-gravity option in arcade/customs. Point A doesn't force you through one specific choke, for a change; there's various side paths and upper catwalk routes. The point itself has walls around it and narrow entrances on each side. Point B is kind of Hanamura-ish; a big wide open room with a few different ways in around the sides, and one high-ground entrance on the attackers' right. It doesn't have a trough around it like Hanamura does, though, which might make it a bit less hellish on offense.

Reaper just had a huge overhual, he lost his orbs but now regens 20% of damage dealt, which means even a sloppily executed Death Blossom is loving invincible. McCree's Deadeye is much better but still poo poo because it's Deadeye Roadhog can no longer OHK with the hook as he does max 150 damage, but now has higher DPS and +1 to magazine capacity. Basically he will now straight up lose to reaper in a fight hands down, and most DPS sans Tracer can now endlessly poo poo on him as they'll be able to immediately stun/escape/heal.

Reaper might be better at tanking than Roadhog now, a good shot must net him 25 go up close, right?

BizarroAzrael posted:Reaper might be better at tanking than Roadhog now, a good shot must net him 25 go up close, right? A single shot assuming all pellets hit heals him 28HP, or 56HP/s. Obviously it's going to be generally less than that but it also means he'll be constantly regenerating health, so he'll probably have overall way better healing. Now factor in a Mercy pocketing him - she doesn't need to heal Reaper, just damage boost him and he heals even more. Imagine Reaper Nanoboosted, he'd be loving invincible. Hidingo Kojimba posted:How deadly is the typical hook combo now? Will Lucio be able to save himself with a counter-boop? Yes, near always, hell if Lucio can amp up healing right after he'd probably be able to clown all over Roadhog. EmpyreanFlux fucked around with this message at 21:35 on May 31, 2017 |

SKULL.GIF posted:exactly how much faster is the new fire rate? 30% faster iirc. you'd need to be able to fire 5 times, reload, and fire again to match the current damage output against shields tho and I really doubt that's the case

SKULL.GIF posted:exactly how much faster is the new fire rate? 30% faster, or effectively no pause between shots at all. It means it's better to shoot twice after hook than melee, as melee will be slower and less damage.

Obviously he has to reload, but he can do that by wraithing, the cool down of which will be much more bearable in combat. This is also big for Death Blossom, he can heal so much it makes him far less vulnerable.

Not to mention Reaper needed something good. Like you don't turn a bottom-tier hero into a good one without giving them some bullshit of their own, and this isn't even really grade A bullshit.

I just like vampiric mechanics in general, it's something I would have suggested if I hadn't assumed they were married to soul orbs. This seems to be exactly right, seems to promote poison too.

They'll almost certainly walk back the Roadhog nerf at least somewhat because it's way too much. The Reaper change is positive (does it also make his ult charge a bit faster since he heals more now?) but I'd like to see them work on making Shadow Step less worthless.

I expect they'll move Roadhog's damage back up to like 175. The hook does a little bit of damage already so it'll incentivize getting a shot in before you throw the hook. No more flank Hog though.

Reaper shooting nanomachine bullets that eat enemies' flesh and transfer back energy to his body makes a whole lot more sense in Overwatch's setting than sucking up soul orbs Also better explains the "desiccated" corpses of his victims
