Those D.Va buffs aren't what I was hoping for. I think she should have gotten a bit of a buff to her range. Maybe it should be a console only thing, because she's seemingly useless unless face to face with someone and all that takes is a step to the left to avoid. I was tracking down a Hanzo, was full health, maybe a few in game feet from him, and just laying into him as he aiming thus not moving... He gets two arrows off and manages to destroy my mech. Something isn't right there.

omg. everyone get off PTR. i want to try before i go to the gym.
Like pharah, ana's purple costumes are better than her gold ones.
I disagree, Ana's Wasteland skin is radical.

Raise your APM fam. Right click when he's loosing the arrow.

One where jackal exist.
Just looked at the patch notes, they're pretty neat. I like the Dva barrier change, making that more flexible will be good not just for her survivability but for actually covering team mates. I'd love to see more advanced use of that. Zenyatta surviving more is good, don't know what the travel time will do but it'll be easier to kick butt with him.
Overtime changes look good but feel a bit unnecessary combined with the 1 hero limit in competitive. I liked the possibility of stacks even if they seem to have been abused with the current hero selection. I haven't watched a ton of competitive but it didn't seem like the limit did a lot to actually increase diversity, most every game turned out the same. It's only without the limit that I've actually seen a couple of games with what seemed like an off beat tactic. Of course if it produces more bad games than good ones it's in a weird spot, but I'm a bit sad about it still ... and for regular comp play it isn't as if regular groups will produce anything noteworthy.
I hope the Mercy changes make her a bit more interesting in the end. idk

crazy talk, pharah's legendaries are better than her epics (and she has amazing epic ones)
Anyone have a summary of all the updates?
McCree fall off damage has been buffed
DVa has 2 charges of defense Matrix
Zenyatta has 300 HPS during his ult up from 200 and goes super fast during it. And his HP was buffed
Mercy's ult charge up time was reduced but the damage on her damage boost was increased. And she can ult while moving now
Roadhog gets more ult from self heal
Lucio's ult charges 10% faster
Those are the only ones I remember offhand
Raise your APM fam. Right click when he's loosing the arrow.
Already did to rocket up to him and avoid damage. Like, health not withstanding, I feel like if I was at the same range with Reaper his shotguns would have decimated a Hanzo standing still, but D.Va just seems so useless unless you're so close you're almost clipping into the other character.
Come to think of it, outside of getting trapped in a corner for her ult or the stray they get the last hit in while everyone else is doing the damage, I don't remember the last time I was killed by a D.Va in her mech.

I play a lot of Winston and never assume Hanzo a guaranteed kill. He's not Widow. That little fucker can light your ass up if you're not careful.

I mean yeah, especially if head shots, but I'm sitting there unloooooading with D.Va at normal shotgun range. I could make a sandwich. Then *dead*
Frustrating.

Lucio's ult has a 10% cost increase - so it's slower to charge. But his self-heal will charge it now so I doubt there's much difference.

You forgot 2 - D.Va no longer receives damage from her ult and her ult takes 3 seconds to explode instead of 4.

I assume they tried to balance it so the self-heal ult charge and increased cost negate each other. Which makes me wonder, what's their motivation to do it? Make Ana's heal negation more useful?
I mean, there is a bit of a new meta game going on with the change. Mercy needs the ult charge from healing now more than ever, so you're effectively deciding whether or not you want to charge your own ult or help your Mercy get her resurrection going.
Curious to see how it shakes out, as the dust isn't close to settling yet, but I have a feeling Roadhog ult charge time will be tweaked. I just saw 3 ults before the first checkpoint on Dorado. Seems kinda insane.

Messing around in PTR and honestly do not notice the ult charge increase for Mercy, I'm still rez'ing fools seemingly at will.
Also maybe it's just me, but I feel like I move way faster during GA.

That would ruin doors and other tight points completely though.They shouldn't allow shooting through your allies. Makes it ridiculous when the person behind the guy you're shooting at is doing all the damage.
Word of warning, if you play PTR play competitive mode because Quick play is a fucking mess.
That's pretty much a given. All Ana all the time.

PTR is down, right? Not just me?
PTR is working for me.
Also PTR is just folks messing around with the balance changes and Ana, I do not expect or demand people to follow meta or team comps right now lol.

It would just make it harder but not impossible.

Well I assume her self heal is charging her ult now too. And GA has no cool down anymore which is nice.

LOL Ana Boosted Genji with Dragonblade is the stuff of nightmares.
McCree is the only character that I swear the server is fucking with me.
Like I'll play 76 or a sniper and be like 'man my aim is dogshit right now' but I'll play McCree and be making the exact perfect aim and fire with him and they're missing. Shit doesn't make any sense to me.
edit: Genji has become my third most played character. What have I become?

The mercy increase only looks longer. Between self heal and an additional 20% damage off damage boost... it's not as much of an increase as you'd think at first glance.

Mercy's Damage Boost is way too good on some characters. I fucking love it.

Yeah i can see it being one of the most op combos in the game.

Does it count your health autorecovery when not taking damage?

That one's on the "just give up" tier

Love reading this. Damage boosting certain heroes as Mercy is so much fun and now, after this buff, damage boosting must be borderline OP.
I was playing winstonThe thing is, you still need to be a good sniper to play Ana. She's rated 3 stars for difficulty for a reason, she is for skilled players, and in the coming weeks I bet everyone and their mother will ignore this and try to play her in Competitive anyways.

How does the PTR work with skin unlocks and etc? Do I need to spend my own live currency or what?

Its whatever coins you have at the point they made the dummy account. No you still keep whatever coins you have now.
Also Ana boosted Winston is horrifying.
Any word on the Tobjorn animation cancel just getting baked into the character?
It's not really a 'skill' thing where it's a combo like Hog combo or Genji burst it's just animation cancelling to get his turret up slightly faster. Seems like something they should either remove or just make his upgrade time as quick as it is that way. Which still isn't very quick.

Does a Mercy damage boost stack with an Ana boost?
Pharah/Genji + Mercy + Ana combo?

Speaking of Torb, does Ana's ultimate buff his turrets?
Fixed a bug that sometimes caused Roadhog to accidentally Chain Hook targets standing behind him
The wording makes it seem like this only fixes the part where targets would get hooked if they were standing behind him, not the one where targets would wind up behind him after the hook. But from the one match I've played it seems that hooks are a little more consistent. Anyone else test out Roadhog?
