I got Hog in Mystery Heroes on Ilios Ruins last night. Holy poo poo, it's like people have forgotten how to deal with him. I think I had around 80% hook accuracy and 15 elims between my own kills and hooks that led to kills. Then the game swapped me to Sombra for the next round and that was me in the toilet for the rest of the game.

Minrad posted:if you live in america go stare at the sun instead of that stream and catch the vod later, imo. With appropriate eye protection (not sunglasses) since most of the US doesn't get a total eclipse, and even then you need a filter before the total eclipse starts and as it ends.  Anything outside that band needs protection the whole time.

Supercar Gautier posted:Characters who don't have a map associated with them yet: Junkrat/Roadhog, Torbjorn, D.Va, Lucio, Mercy, Symmetra Someone datamined a voiceline off the PTR of the announcer welcoming people to Junkertown, so that might be the new map, though they do seem to record a lot of this stuff way in advance so it's not a given.

I'm thinking the animated short is not going to be about the junkers because they have a lengthy (and hilarious) map intro video https://zippy.gfycat.com/SharpGraveDiscus.webm

That sure is a lot of voice acting. I wonder if the Queen's an upcoming playable character.

I'm not gonna lie I sort of like the animation in these more than the actual cinematics.

Junkers are a lot more expressive than masked ghost men, corrupted blue ladies, and PTSD robots so that might be what you are liking more than the official srsbsns shorts.

I wonder what the significance of that last still shot of the turbine room is. I'm sure the Internet will figure it out by this evening.

Well you can guarantee the internet will have, by the end of the day, somehow decided that the slowly rotating turbine is simultaneously a new map, a new game mode, a new announcer AND a new character.

The lingering turbine shot is because if you watch it on youtube they pop up some other video links over it at the end. It's just background noise for that.

Sorry to double post but I have something important fresh from Geoff Goodman: "Actually, we've made some significant changes to D.Va internally and have been testing them for a while now. Here are the changes we've made: Defense Matrix: Energy drain increased by 2x. This means her effective uptime for this ability has been reduced by 50%. Boosters: D.Va can now use her Fusion Cannons while flying. New ability - Micro Missiles: D.Va launches a long salvo of small missiles that explode on impact, dealing damage in a small radius around them. This ability can be used while using her other abilities or firing her Fusion Cannons. The combination of these changes allow her to play more aggressively and deal more damage, at the cost of being able to Defense Matrix as often as before. Defense Matrix still remains an extremely powerful tool when timed correctly, but the reduced uptime means D.Va won't be able to use it nearly as often overall. Her new Micro Missiles ability in combination with her ability to fire while flying allow for some more aggressive play, as well as opening up some new options versus heroes such as Pharah. Overall the goal here is to reduce her reliance on Defense Matrix and make her more fun to play. As far as balancing goes, we want to nerf Defense Matrix as an ability, not D.Va as a hero. She has been a ton of fun to play with these changes, and we're looking forward you letting you guys play with them as well. Hopefully we'll have a new PTR up soon!"

That's an enormous d matrix nerf. Like absurdly enormous. I would certainly have started with taking it to 66% to start with but the devs seem to like leading off with dramatic changes and seeing how people adapt.

turtlecrunch posted:Did you see the part where she fires missiles now tho But halving the uptime for matrix is like halving the rate of fire for a dps character, if not more impactful. It's massive, especially given the lag between starting matrix and when it actually comes up.
