1 extra second is a long time and it helps against stuff like Uther, Tychus or any other character that gains various bonuses when rooted.

Midnightghoul posted:Toads get 100% bonus damage from the level 7 without any hops I was wondering what the hell was going on with that, luckily I guess they've mostly been on my team, but when put against Nazeebo I've definitely had a few (As a tank even) "WHAT happened to my health?" moments.

As much as I and others bitch about balance and whatnot with the game, since 2.0 they're really done a lot of cool art stuff. A lot of the sprays/portraits/loading screens and whatnot are really fantastic.

The rushdown D Va buff is crazy. Just try it out when you get a chance, she can now move around the map faster than a mounted character can.

BrianBoitano posted:*ahem* With the new ability it's 1.38x normal move speed. (both of these are very conservative estimates given that d va has 0 mount time) This doubles the effectiveness of the old talent and is more than 1.5x as substantial as Malthael's. I think she'll rotate significantly faster than any non-global character now. No Wave fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Oct 9, 2017 |

Power Bottom posted:yes, it's almost as if the image is not calling attention to the talent that allows malthael to move at ridiculously high speed while mounted It's almost as if you're comparing a character who can use a regular mount to another character whose weakness is her lack of mount in mech form + her slower than normal movement speed. It's almost like that comparison doesn't make any sense. And yeah rushdown is now way stronger than before, definitely a good pick and makes her a lot more interesting on warhead.

His autoattack noise is a hollow plastic thunk from his bucket, which accurately reflects his autoattack damage. When he dies all his little beach toys have their own physics and scatter to the winds. Lastly, when searching for matches, tell your friends that he has a dead skeleton dog hanging off the back off his pool floaty, and when they rotate stiches to see, call attention to the nastiest rear end in the nexus directly behind that dead dog and make all your friends sad.

WOW I hate Junkrat's implementation. I really wish they had shoved him into Specialist and cut his Autos in favor of relying entirely on his Q for damage.

That sounds like a pain in the rear end for a character they're hoping will be broadly popular... Probius isnt even a fan favorite in QP, I doubt we'll see another hero without auto attacks soon.

Ice Block has nothing to do with why Nazeebo is strong. It's entirely on the power/synergy of his core damage talent build versus the max-end performance of other characters talent builds.

Also - great news the low-effort skins are indeed all rares. The low-effort mounts are epic (which is fine by me), and the only legendary one is named "spectral" (of course).

I spent an evening on the PTR one tricking Stukov. I wasn't paying as much attention to Junkrat talents as I should have, but my thoughts: Rocket Ride is better than RIP-Tire. It does more damage, it lets you sometimes escape from bad situations, it isn't channeled, and it doesn't create a tire which can be killed. It does take you out of the fight but it doesn't feel like he's gone for long. Concussion mines knock people back hilariously far, really great for isolating people and setting up kills, escaping, etc but totally unusable in team fights because you'll often help the enemy. His traps are visible and cannot be destroyed. They do disappear after a while. Unsurprisingly, massive skill discrepancies on the PTR and mostly quite low. Lots of times both sides would just be pointlessly team fighting over nothing when there was an objective up or camps they could be getting or lanes they could be soaking. I can't tell you how Junkrat's laning is in practice because it seemed to be against their collective religion. He doesn't seem particularly over or underpowered. edit: Muradin does a lot more damage, Zuljin seems better. Gobbeldygook fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Oct 10, 2017 |

Edmond Dantes posted:How playable is this game on a high ping? I'm playing from Argentina, and Blizzard's South American servers are in Brasil which usually give me ~40 ping in Overwatch, but... they're a toxic cesspool, and I'd much rather find a group of regulars to play with and shoot the poo poo than trying to solo q. I'm in Australia but I regularly play with US friends with a ping around that. It's quite noticeable but very playable. There are some things that are a little frustrating (trying to cancel Anub'arak's charge exactly where I want is tough, playing Tracer at all is tough) and some abilities are very hard to dodge (I almost always accidentally walk into Ring of Frost). You get used to it though and it's really not a huge deal. After a while I don't notice it, and I'll only have a couple moments in a several hour-long play session where I think "ah poo poo, if I had better ping I would have landed that". In general, being knowledgeable about how to keep yourself alive and what you should be doing at any given time is extremely valuable and unaffected by ping. I'm Platinum 3 in Team League for reference. The best way to see how much the ping will bother you is to simply test it out yourself. Go into Options -> Language and Region and take a look at the Preferred Game Server drop down box. Switch it to a US server then play some QM or VS AI matches and see how you go.
