So I did my placement matches and got Gold, what would be the equivalent to last season ranking? 45-49?

She can do enough to make it worthwhile, is my point. Her ult is now officially godlike.

They nerfed CP's :/

It's about as godlike as graviton surge I guess. And you're not going to replace zarya on koth.
Yeah, those are some very weak ass rewards now that golden weapons cost 3k CP / pop.

You get everything at the same rate as before. Wins give 10 points, and end of season rewards were also multiplied by 10.
The only difference from before is that you get 3 points for a draw.
What do you mean? It seems like it's the same as before but multiplied by 10 as is everything else.
Season 1 for comparison:
SR 0-39: 10 CPs
SR 40-45: 20 CPs
SR 46-49: 40 CPs
SR 50-52: 60 CPs
SR 53-55: 80 CPs
SR 56-59: 120 CPs
SR 60-64: 200 CPs
SR 65+: 300 CPs
3 for draw? Huh, expected it to be 5.
Is 65 the same as Grandmaster level, though?
If it is, it means I'm better at the game than I thought I was, which I suppose was the entire point of moving over the StarCraft II way of doing Ladder.
I don't think you can compare the tiers that literally since a lot has changed in the skill point distribution since last season.
Perhaps it will be harder to get the higher level rewards this time around, while the lower level ones are pretty much the same as last season.

Shadowburn died the second he popped dragon blade.
He ended with only 15% ult charge.
Thank you Blizzard

Did they nerf D.Va or am I just awful now?
Her tank seems to get ripped to shreds almost instantly now.

Delay between Defense Matrixs is now 1.5 seconds instead of 1 second.

Mei's ult prevents people from firing or using abilities after they freeze, lasts longer, and does more damage. Idk, man.

I believe 80 is Grandmaster.
It's 1 second now instead of 0.5 before.
There's a thread complaining about D.va nerf on the forums claiming her to be unusable, I hope it's not that bad

Where do you get the lasts longer and more damage part? Iirc, all they did was make it larger and pierce barriers lol. Oh you're comparing it to Graviton Surge. Still deserves a lol
Hm, must have read the numbers wrong.It's 1 second now instead of 0.5 before.

I have a feeling people might be overreacting, But we'll see.
True, that's why I'm taking it with a grain of salt until I try it out. But the poster I quoted was saying her survivability seems lower too so it's not without reason.
Honestly felt D.va was in a good place after her changes/buff myself.

I don't really see an issue with that change tho, it just means you have to be more deliberate with your DM usage. I guess it could be annoying if you lower it to attack and then someone pops an ult but... they're ults. :/

Oh, that's a bummer. Honestly, it seems to make a huge difference. I never died this fast until today. I can barely get kills off before my mech gets ripped to shreds.
A big strategies for Dva was to shoot, put up when they start firing, take down when they need to reload, and then shoot and repeat the process. Move is way less spammable then before which means D. Vas are gonna die faster.

yeah, I used to play DVa a lot but I figured 0.5 wouldn't be too much of an increase (haven't played the new patch yet)
maybe I was wrong
sucks. she was much stronger as of last patch but I didn't think she was that good :/Antiwhippy

Meh, you should still be fine with D. Va as long as you don't play a super gimmicky style revolving heavily around your defense matrix which ive seen a lot of people use.

Also just to clarify, DM regenerates after 1 second of use. It was always a 1 second cooldown last patch.
So uh, just don't burn through it?

Blizz literally gives no fucks and are just buff/nerfing according to 'data' or whatever. I mean who said Mei needed a buff? Welp, according to 'data' she wasn't getting much play, so they buffed her up. I'm sure when D.Va play falls to a level they're not happy with they will revisist the 'survivability vs. damge' cunundrum they faced a while back, and will buff D.Va's attack damage this time to see what's what. >_>

Well, finished my placement matches and went 6-4. First couple of games were complete trash and then it got better at the end. I got 2720 MMR and Plat.

Mei definitely needed a buff lol
Before this patch, Junkrat was the only defense hero that was good. All the others needed a buff. Hanzo and Mei have gotten said buffs and are now viable. Now they just need to look at Bastion, Torb, and Widow.

Nah, Widow needs a console buff. Maybe grappling hook cooldown? Bastion might not need a buff, but maybe a rework on one of his abilities?
Also, you say Torb shouldn't be buffed and then you say bring back old Torb 🤔
Make up your mind

Selfishly, i want the Torb buff.
for the sake of the game, we dont need more torbjorns

a widow console buff would slay me tbh
again, now that zen has his hp the only things widow could insta kill with a body shot would be tracer & meatless Dva. I would be fine with her old damage coming back, as the whole point of tracer is to be a fast character that is incredibly difficult to hit & dva should be playing carefully outside her mech anyway.
