Maybe there is a bug but I've noticed it will not lock out abilities that they are already doing?
Or maybe it doesn't disrupt ultimates I dunno. I've hacked several people right at their ultimate and it didn't do anything.

I’ve definitely been hacked while ulting as Moira and it cut the ult just like OW1

So I hacked Genji when he popped his ultimate and he was still able to shred people.

Oh man, you earn 60 currency per week? So that's 240 per month.. A legendary skin is 1900. So if you grind every week that's 7 months and 3 weeks for a legendary skin. And since I like to take breaks from games that's most like 1 year + before I can get ONE skin for ONE hero

I guess zero new skins for me :negative:

Also if you want to buy a "premium battlepass" to get all the skins in that / unlock the hero on day1 it takes 17 weeks of grinding to get enough currency
BP lasts 8 weeks and they say every 2nd one will have a new hero, which means one BP to buy every 16 weeks. Convenient!

The skins don't matter that much, but it's also a completely pointless progression system that will never let you get anything from f2p even if you played all day every day for months.

Yeah I think that's why I don't even care about it. The progression thing is just a game company trying to stick psychological hooks into players, and it's kinda pathetic.

The only part that blows is heroes being locked behind that system.

I really miss the days of buying a game and just having all the bits of it there, rather than all this nickel a diming poo poo. Unlocking poo poo was fun when you got it for beating the game or whatever. It's kinda boring to unlock something by completing a month of busywork every day during the correct 90 day period.

Genji I believe still keeps his sword out when ulting & hacked. He just can't dash.

Similiarly S76's aimbot still works if was activated before he gets hacked.


VVVVVVVV Much better explanation as to why.

There's a distinction between "channeled ults" (like Moira, Cassidy) and "transformation ults" (like Genji, Zen). Channeled ults can be interrupted by hack, stun, sleep, etc., while transformation ults are un-cancellable once initiated. So hacking an ulting genji is still really good because then he can't deflect or dash, but it doesn't cancel the blade entirely. For OW2 they also changed Hog's ult from channeled to transformation, so it can't be cancelled now either.

I got caught by three junk rat tires in a row as Brig, when I was trying to put my shield between each time. I don't know if maybe:

1) I'm not snapping my shield to the right spot fast enough server-side?
2) It's exploding on my little feeties or my noggin or something? Just going around the shield?
3) It's killing me in spite of the shield because the damage bleeds through?

i play a gently caress ton of sombra and i have noticed that hack is a bit different than it used to be. i have seen hogs drink right after getting hacked. seems to be buggy maybe?

worst part is the "hacked" play of the game for sombra is bugged and doesnt play right

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Had one guy in the beta piss and moan about how our healers were never healing until he eventually said "lol look 2k healing done for each". I looked at the scoreboard and they each had 2k damage and 12k+ healing. I pointed this out and his response was that it FELT like 2k healing!!

IIRC I've got MIT on Lucio so I'm guessing it somehow takes into account booping damage away or maybe speeding people out of damage? I've definitely got MIT on hog as well who doesn't have a shield or absorb skill, so maybe abilities interrupted with hook or damage saved body blocking? It's not completely clear to me.

People who were wondering how fast do you get battle pass xp.
I've been playing about 12 hours and currently got to lvl 20 (The Kiriko Legendary). That is with +20% Premium Battle pass xp.
That's with doing the dailies and 9/11 of the weeklies so far.
By my count you get about half of your xp from challenges. More if you poopsock less than me.

She always had a little bit of extra vertical momentum but at some point this year they just leaned into it and gave her the massive jump she has now, I wanna say around the time of the first ow2 beta but it was in ow1
