Zul'jin changes look interesting. Nazeebo might actually need more nerfs than that given how broken he is. Not really sure any supports needed nerfs, but those hits are fine probably.

No mention in the patch notes of fixing the bug that is currently making him broken sooooo If you are referring to just straight Spider build only, loss of Spider Colony severely kills the build. If they fix the bug + these changes, I think they went too far. I'm also really not a fan of them continually nerfing supports when the high level/pro meta is totally cancerous with multiple support comps due to individual supports being nerfed so much Midnightghoul fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Oct 9, 2017 |

Gobbeldygook posted:What bug are you talking about? Someone in this thread said his toads are doing the max damage with Toads of Hugeness regardless of number of hops, so I went into try mode and tried it on both a dummy and an enemy hero. Toads of Hugeness scaled correctly on both the dummy and an Arthas hero (ie twice as much damage at five hops as at 0). They might have fixed it already. I think the bug just got more people to try the toad build and realize that point blank 10 toads does a SHITLOAD of damage, even without the bug. I've always been a spider boi myself unless the other team has a butcher or illidan or another hero like that that's going to be all up in the team's business on the reg. Thing is if you can hit 5 spider jars reliably and have done a good job of building his trait stacks, his self sustain vs poke damage is insane, and even moreso when you get a spider jar every 3 seconds. That nerf is a straight 50% reduction in his sustain and a huge reduction in his damage with the spider build.

Toad build went from 53% win rate to 58% with the september 5th patch so it's possible that the totally unnecessary hop buff accounts for the entirety of his win rate gain. In which case the 10% dps reduction might be meaningful idk.

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. Thing is, when I group up with goons and go to US servers (same region, mind), my ping shoots up to ~180 which, at least in OW, severely hinders my ability to play anything that requires hitscan aiming. Could someone playing with lovely ping give me a trip report? Cheers.

I've been having lovely ping issues since about the Sunday before Ana went live. It sucks. You're almost never going to be able to hit anything with skillshots because by the time you react and hit/release the key, everything's already 2-3 seconds long gone from where you were aiming.

As an Australian some of those talent names are loving painful to read, Bogged Down is excellent though but I'm a child. I mean I shouldn't be surprised American media never portrays us properly (we're not racist enough in your shows) besides the newest Lucioball event in Overwatch, fuckin' nailed Sydney harbour. It's a stupid complaint I know.

On the topic of Nazeebo, what does a toad build look like? Just toads at 1, 4, and 13? I generally build for zombie wall, taking the following... 1.) Thing of the deep 4.) Blood Ritual 7.) Dead Rush 10.) Usually Gargantuan 13.) Superstition (or Iceblock) 16.) Ring of Poison 20.) Vile Infection Nazeebo is one of my most played characters and this is the build that seemed to really click, so I haven't really deviated at all in some time.

Looking through the shop right now, items that are from Events like the new Halloween stuff and the summer stuff from earlier this year now have icons denoting that they're from event chests. Also, they added a Junkrat announcer pack, Legendary quality.

Takes about 3 Rocket Rides to blow up the fort in the Test Map at level 20 with no other damage on it.

I'm a tiny bit disappointed that Junkrat's Q is just a better version of Zarya's Q. It's kind of a bummer when two heroes have very similar skills and the general tendency of Overwatch heroes to be very similar kind of compounds it. Maybe that is being unfair just because they are from the same universe.

Too bad about the event-specific loot boxes. Time to get heroes close, but not beyond, leveling I guess! PTR loading screen is neat artwork. e: here:  The worst part about Nazeebo's new "Spider Colony" talent is that it doesn't really affect Zombie wall 90% of the time, since you want to wall and THEN spider, and the CD on wall isn't active until the wall is done.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:It increases the duration from 2 to 3 seconds as well. Oh okay. Ehnnnn, that seems like a pretty questionable talent, yeah. I guess maybe if you combo it with the talent that lets you place three traps at once you could create a pretty heinous tarpit for people to stumble through, otherwise I don't know that it's worth it over, say, 50% bigger traps. Something the video wasn't clear on but in Overwatch when Junkrat tosses a trap he and his team can clearly see it but the enemy team sees it sunk into the ground with only the points of the teeth sticking out, does it work that way in HotS as well?

Really sad trip report: Junkrat's "Gotta Trap 'Em All!" lets you lay 3 traps, but they have a spacing limitation similar to Zagara's Nydus Worms. I was hoping to put all 3 in a bush, wait for a rotation, and Rocket Ride to glory.Kai Tave posted:Am I being dumb or is there no reason you'd want to turn Junkrat's root into a 90% slow?
