idk what it is but Mystery Heroes feels a lot worse this patch. it used to be my favourite mode, now every game just feels...bad. I can't tell why as well! it's not like the bullshit hero selections have changed.

It used to be a roll of the dice to hope you get a well balanced team and now it's a roll of the dice to hope you get more DPS characters than the other team because every other class feels like poo poo to play now.

Yeah, she's one of my favorite picks and she just feels terrible right now. Not that I've ever been great at her, but there's still less enjoyment in it at the moment.

At least they buffed Illari a little. :unsmith:

The Triad Frog is pleased with this custom title purchase.
Hot take: Ana can remain useless for a while. We're finally free of whoever lands anti deciding fight outcomes for a minute, let her sit for a while.

It's a take I don't agree with, but I can't say I really blame you for it. Honestly anti being the most important part of her kit really frustrates me. I'd rather they just removed it and balanced her without it.

Remove anti nade, give Ana a mobility skill (you could honestly just give her a literal heroic leap like she does in her highlight intros), let her rifle overpenetrate players. Let the jump give her iframes or some poo poo if she's still too easy to kill

I like the idea that healing always penetrates (while healing along the way) so you can always be aiming at enemies and trying to frame your teammates in between. That kind of makes it not a dart though.

one of the main selling points of the ranked rework is more info about why you're ranking up or down

mine only says "calibration"

There is an explainer about each of those that was in the release notes. Calibration means 'we didn't know enough about your rank before this match so we made a decent guess and then post match adjustment is putting you much closer to where you should be'

Sure, just saying they clearly had thought of this possibility hence why there is a category for it.

Is anyone else experiencing periodic super lovely lag since the new patch dropped? Kind of annoyed to die three times during a comp match when I was shooting the red-teamer in front of me at point blank range except whoops I actually wasn't.
yes, periodic desync, it was worst immediately after the patch but it still crops up on PS5

I think Ana should get an unscoped damage buff. It'd mitigate her lack of escape abilities and allow her a little more duelling ability. It would also be skill dependent, since it relies on the Ana hitting her shots on whatever DPS is diving her.

Tuxedo Gin
May 21, 2003

Classy.

If her grenade splashes both her and an enemy, it should give her a temp speed buff and the enemy a slow. Every support needs some kind of escape. Ana is totally helpless right now.

lol id rather ana climb walls than make the grenade more powerful than it already is

edit: she does need something tho i agree

Had my first instance of getting widow headshot through cover the other day. Watched the death cam, yep she wall hacked me and then shot my head around the corner. Even said in chat she couldn't believe it worked.

This patch is mostly good but poo poo like that is just not ok.

She gets the nana passive. Enemies feel bad for hitting a grandma so the first shot on target doesn't to any damage (misses).

Hit Diamond a few seasons ago as Tank and was high Plat at DPS. I have no idea how to play the new patch. It's hard to adjust!!!

It's been hard adjusting to the patch as rein but he's very playable in gold now I have changed my expectations of my supports and tbh I'm probably a better rein main BC of it. I still don't play him on escort attack 99% of the time though

Basically assume that your supports can't actually heal you at all because they can't in a significant enough way to cut through the DPS passive. If you're lucky they can use one of their cooldowns with the same time to build as an ult to save you at the last minute.

Also as a tank player assume you can't actually kill anything because you're essentially playing on the old patch except everyone has a million health.

People who are allowed to kill things:
- DPS
- Moira
- Someone being damage boosted

Collab is actually cool. Game is still unfun at LEAST 50% of the time, prob more like 60%. I've been trying to actually grind this BP because it has some nice skins, and every game is a gamble as to if it will be a fun time, or time out.

looks cool but the skins will be a million dollars each so I'm not exactly enthusiastic.

I'm sure the event will let me get a spray or a voiceline though
