Remember the days when Zen could get single bodyshot by Widowmaker? Poor Zen.

As someone who primarily used those two characters when I first started playing, I have a troubled relationship with Widowmaker. On the one hand it was fun taking out Zen in one shot, but on the other I was terrified of moving in any open space for the fear of getting picked off by a Widowmaker when I was playing as Zenyatta.

She definitely needs fixing now though. It was such a knee jerk reaction change, like they just took everything that made her good and made it worse, and then buffed things about other characters that made her effective against them, like Zenyatta's HP, without changing her.

I doubt I will ever reach silver portrait.

This guy:

I bet even he doesn't have rapid discord trophy yet

 

[adamy]

Got a question about Winston:

Is it just me or does jumping before using your leap attack cause you to travel a shit ton further?

Might be in my head, but it seems like if I do the leap attack at the peak of a jump it goes much, much higher/further

 

[Nocturnowl]

^ Well when you consider the jump momentum Winston gets it would make sense that starting from slightly higher via a jump gives a bit more air time thus maintaining the momentum boost slightly longer? honestly despite playing him a lot I never really thought about it.

I bet even he doesn't have rapid discord trophy yet

That 0.1% is my pride and joy, I feel so exclusive.

 

[Skii]

Well I'm at 2800 now. I really want to get diamond on PS4 but Halloween event on PC...

I don't know what to do.

I saw it was .2% yesterday. I've been so close a few times with Zarya / Mei ults :/

I'd say do Halloween stuff first, your rank can wait while you farm those boxes.

My stock, it's lowering!

I got mine via a Zarya ult so I'd wager its the best bet.

Exactly. Hope they address her soon!

 

[Sir Griffith]

It's happening, isn't it?

 

[Plesiades]

There was a small PTR patch too. Maybe they "enabled" something... We'll see when it goes up again.

 

[optimus8936]

Patch on PS4, or just PC?

 

[Jarate]

New patch mot until tomorrow on PS4 when im super busy tomorrow :/

 

[Jellie]

Patch on PS4, or just PC?

PC I would think. I'm downloading on PC anyway. Doubt the updates would be synced exactly too since you have cert to go through.
EDIT: It's a patch in advance it says. Maybe it'll release in 3 hours then.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Background download has begun!

 

[duckroll]

Backgrounding on PC. I feels it.

 

[Skii]

Yup downloading it on PC as we speak. Come on Pumpkin Reaper!

 

[DevilDog]

Dance, dance.

 

[Tovarisc]

All I want is Witch Mercy and Headless Horseman Reaper.

Please bless me RNGesus!

 

[Jellie]

Finished the download. Now to see if there is anything new or if it'll be applied later.
EDIT: Nothing. Hype deflated.

They get applied when Blizzard pushes the button. I *think* people can datamine them tho.

 

[Triforce141]

I finally get a decent connection for a few matches, an update is available to download; only for my network adapter to die and not find my internet.

Give me a break, please, I just want to play comp.

Edit: Now it's letting me connect to only Google related websites.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Huh, my background download was limited to 100kb/s? Wut

 

[Jellie]

I expected it. I hoped it was a mistake or something.

Huh, my background download was limited to 100kb/s? Wut

Go to settings and change it to 0 (unlimited)

[KINGofCRA5H]

So, just waiting for them to flip the switch then, right? They'll probably drop a YouTube video and a blog post or something too.

Why are Zylbrad's videos all half an hour long

 

[Prelude.]

Why are Zylbrad's videos all half an hour long

YouTube revenue.

 

[Tovarisc]

YouTube revenue.

Isn't sweetspot around 15-20 minutes if you want viewers to watch video from start to end?

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Downloading it at 0b/s.... ok .-.

Happened to me at first too. Let it sit for a minute and it'll shoot up.

 

[cyborg009]

So wait turning off Vsync decreases input lag?

 

[Prelude.]

The longer the video, the more ads you can cram in.

 

[Skii]

So wait turning off Vsync decreases input lag?

Yes. Just turn all your settings low to get the frame rate as high as possible. You'll get tearing on 60Hz screen but it's worth it for the noticeably decreased input lag.

Btw, I tried fast sync and I can keep it on fullscreen with vsync off and there's no tearing.

 

[Data West]

I'll be curious to see the new player icons

Because I don't think BMX Reaper can be topped.

Pumpkin Reaper on a horse carrying a scythe? Horseman of the apocalypse style?

 

[SirFuzzyDunlop]

[Data West]
