How many more hours till the season ends?
What golden weapons will everyone be getting?

I got my Golden Shotgun/Hook for Mako Roadhog yesterday. That way people can see it up close and personal when I hook their ass.

 

[Red Arremer]

Oh well i guess then only the sitting and laughing emotes are new.

Edit: New brawl: Girl Power

Every character had 3 emotes base, and of course 3 heroes got their Summer emotes (Symmetra, Lucio and Bastion). Apparently everyone got 2 new emotes, a laugh and a relax one.

Wow.

When activating the "Needs healing" communication while targeting a teammate, Ana, Lúcio, Mercy, and Zenyatta will now tell allies to group up to receive healing. A marker will appear above the player's head, allowing teammates to locate the healer more quickly

[Plesiades]

Reverted a recent change to reduce size of heroes' projectiles

Hanzo logs are back?

 

[I-hate-u]

They went ham on Genji. And just when I was beginning to get the hang of him. Dammit.

 

[antitrop]

I'm at rank 64 right now... hoping I can hit 65 before the season ends for the 300CP.

[Alucrid]

yeah genji got fucked. i don't even play / like him that much, but damn.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Oh no not Hanzo buffs.

They don't need more validation.

 

[Plesiades]

Watchpoint: Gibraltar’s first checkpoint has been removed

This is really interesting but not surprising since it was almost free.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

yeah genji got fucked. i don't even play / like him that much, but damn.

lmao yeah, they fucked him good but we will see how it turns out.

Seagull on suicide watch.

[Haly]

LOL RIP GENJI

Mei

Blizzard
The Blizzard projectile now pierces barriers
Radius has been increased from 8 meters to 10 meters

WHERE ARE YOU NOW MEI HATERS
YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS BAD ENOUGH
SHE'S GOING TO BE EVEN MORE TOXIC NOW

 

[Beckx]

mercy changes seem really nice.

seagull thinks tracer replaces genji in the meta and that hanzo will get a lot more play.

 

[Owzers]

I like these changes.

 

[Red Arremer]

Quick Play is gonna be swarming with triple+ Hanzos now. FFS Blizz.

 

[Neol]

Rip genji. Honestly the melee dash combo was pretty BS so I'm glad they took that out.

Also that Mei change is pretty nice. Can't count how many times I can't position blizzard ult well cause Reinhardt has his shield up.

 

[Beckx]

Junkrat vaudeville emote is the best

 

[Sn4ke_911]

LOL RIP GENJI

WHERE ARE YOU NOW MEI HATERS
YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS BAD ENOUGH
SHE'S GOING TO BE EVEN MORE TOXIC NOW

You can tell Blizz wants to see more Mei's in the pro scene.

THEY FIXED EVERYTHING I WANTED. Also, Genji, you ain't escaping my Steel Traps no more! Hahahahaha

Changes sound good so far. Will be interesting to see if the Lucio speed-boost nerf coupled with the Zen discord nerf affects competitive overly much.

Overall, I am very happy with these changes.

 

[antitrop]

I was hoping Mercy would get a buff to her Damage Boost.

 

[duckroll]

GENJI IS DONE!!!!

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Symmetra creates a seat for her to sit on lol

 

[Nuno Pinto]

Genji

Double jump no longer resets when wall climbing
Dragonblade
Duration of Genji's ultimate has been reduced from 8 seconds to 6 seconds

No plz :'(

 

[R0ckman]

GENJI IS DONE!!!!

Huh?

Edit: Ah...

 

[ISOM]

The Hanzo buff may now justify me picking him in Ranked. He was my most played in Quickplay but haven't played him in rank so far.

 

[Newtype-001]

RIP GENGU

FFfFS Im dead.
Bye.

mercy instead of either zen or lucio seems like a real option now?

D.Va's new legendary emote:

[Sn4ke_911]

But they haven't nerfed Genji's biggest problem yet.... his huge ass deflect hitbox

 

[LiK]

I'll never get the Genji trophies since I already sucked with his Ult before patch. Guess I'll try more in QP before console patch hits.

 

[Sulik2]

Why on earth would you increase the radius of Mei's ult? Its already stupid hard to avoid. Let us shoot and destroy her stupid little robot that casts the Ult if you want to balance Mei. Good riddance to Genji.

Hanzo has been broken from day 1 and they buffed him?

 

[AngryMoth]

Losing genji's triple jump is brutal

 

[KiraFA37]

This patch makes me happy:

Except the Hanzo buffs but we"ll see how that turns out.

 

[I-hate-u]

One Shimada brother went down for another. A Hanzo meta is worse than Genji's guys.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

holy crap the legendary emotes cost 1000 currency.

 

[LiK]

holy crap the legendary emotes cost 1000 currency.

Really? Are they even good?

 

[I-hate-u]

Only D.Va has a legendary emote from what I have seen.

 

[Clydefrog]

Full character changes:

Thanks for posting it

I wonder if Hanzo's arrows will feel more like the TF2 huntsman now.

 

[Haly]

Dva's such a progamer she plays games mirrored.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Really? Are they even good?

D.VA is the only one so far in the game and yeah it looks freakin cool but i would probably not buy it.

Also her laugh emote is fucking awesome.

All those twitch memes lel

Sold! I got like over 20k to spend anyway.

 

[toastyToast]

Yes you can buy them. 250 just like the old once.

lmao Reaper has a "Slow Clap" emote.

Roadhog is headbanging.

Those aren't new

 

[Beckx]

curious to see anne's predictions for the new meta if this patch holds
