They missed an opportunity to name the Doritos knockoff "Dorados".

I think it's funny that even Blizzard have embraced that fanbase persona of her being the stereotypical dorito-eating mountain-dew-guzzling gamer :allears:.

And yes, they should've used Dorados, how do you let something that good slip by?

Another good change is you now see how responsible you are for discord orb assists, which I'd really have appreciated more in the entire last month or so but I'll gladly take it now anyway.

It's funny how, in effect, they nerfed Zenyatta's teammates while buffing Zenyatta himself.

technically he does .02 less damage than he used to with discord in play :v:

he currently does 60 (40 base damage plus 50% from discord) and in ptr he's doing 59.98 (30% of 46 is 13.8)

Removing Mccree's ability to mindgame people with his ult really sucks, I hope they revert that change. I don't get why they would change that.

the turnaround time on patches going from test to live has actually been pretty quick, like a weekish? However it's also been a thing where many of the ptr changes don't make it to live in the first place

He does more damage than before to un-discorded targets, though! Which shouldn't usually be what he's firing at, but it probably makes up for the .02

yes and no? you need 6 bodyshots or 3 headshots before the damage thresholds change

6 zen bodyshots currently do 240; ptr zen does 276. if you're playing a 200 health hero (or tracer/pilot suit d.va), nothing changes for you against a zen that isn't bothering to use discord for w/e reason. 250+ health classes die in like one less bodyshot (I always forget what the damage reduction for armor is so idk what that changes for them) until you get to reinhardt with 500 health, who take 2 more from current zen (13 current, 11 ptr). roadhog needs 15 bodyshots right now and he needs to not heal because that's 600 damage exact; ptr zen can do it in 14, dealing 644 damage. basically all of the fights you're technically capable of winning faster now aren't fights you're realistically gonna win in the first place

Well, in sensible contexts, when Zen is hitting a non-discorded target, it's usually not a one-on-one fight like you're describing, but a teamfight where his shots are travelling into a crowd.

It's cool how they popped up a full screen message while I was in a match saying thanks for playing season 1.

Thanks blizzard.

Just barely made it to 300 points at rank 65 tho, so that's cool.

it's even less important in a team fight since the other guys haven't changed and it's not a big enough difference for other people to change much. it is a bigger deal for focusing down the discorded guys tho

doe's really matter much sine you should be discording people you shoot if you want them to die. it's not likely you're shooting someone without discord on them and it not just being spam

I don't want to live in a world where Redditor's feelings get so hurt by dumb zero-effort flames that Blizzard feels the need to censor people. Also if they're willing to take away "gg ez" who knows what else they'll get rid of. Are they going to get rid of "gg close game" after a stomp too? I wouldn't be surprised if they just excise all-talk entirely over the next few months because gamerdads get super tilted when opponents talk to them.

Like, obviously they should censor stuff like friend of the family, chink, fag, wop, etc. because racism and homophobia have no place in a competitive game but getting rid of the literal mildest trashtalk ever is retarded.
