That works for me. I hate not being able to chase anyone down. It'd be a good compromise between making her deal with escaping opponents, and still being an extremely close range threat.

Interesting.
I wonder if they changed anything with the hook distance vs different characters. Not being able to hook Ana all the way was really annoying.

Damage as Lucio is definitely the one time you can really start questioning the quality of your teams input via medals.
The Lucio nerf is pretty nuts.
Basically, whenever you Amp now the effectiveness of the amp builds up over time. There are little bars on each side of his crosshair showing this. Whenever you crossfade mid amp now, the new aura starts building up again from the bottom of the bar.
Edit: whoops I'm dumb, apparently it always worked this way

The next OT subtitle needs to be
THESE CHANGES WON'T MAKE IT TO LIVE

So pretty much Lucio is dead in the water before pros figure it out. :/
Nah, it looks like this has been there and I never noticed it before lol

The moment you have gold damage as lucio, and your team has some notable DPS's, then you really have to mention it to your team. Hell I tell my team if I get any medal in damage as lucio.
Same goes when a Tracer or Reaper gets gold healing and there's a Lucio/Mercy/Ana/Zen on the team.
Recent dev update stated they're changing how the PTR operates. So from here on out don't take anything in the PTR as final
Ah, so it is not as severe as it sounded.

PTR should have a change where Reaper eating the souls actually makes it where Mercy can't revive the person

Did you miss the post where jeff said they're changing the way it works? They used PTR in the past to test out changes they were definitely going to roll-out (and to make sure the changes are stable). Now, they will test out various changes that are more than likely not going to make it live but for the sake of just testing it out.

I hate teammates who spam "Need healing" and being nowhere within my line of sight.
Edit: Took out the reddit post for PTR changes, I'll wait for official notes.

Good
Ult charge rates can be tested though. Apparently Mei is now 50% slower to charge but faster to activate.

Defeat defeat defeat defeat defeat. Overwatch. You're the most demoralizing piece of shit I've ever played. You make a losing streak in Street Fighter 4 feel like a relaxed day in the park.
You can get banned for this kind of thing, you know.
Eww indeed. Why on earth would they do anything to D.Va in terms of nerfing? She is in a class of superstars that out shine her in every way except stall.

Apparently it doesn't reset on prestige though
Wait, so you require 20,000 XP to get through the 1-22 ranks?
I hope that change doesn't make out of PTR. RIP saving prestige to seasonal events.

Those motherfuckers.
I like the fact that you get faster lootboxes everytime you reset the portrait, but at the same time I was very surprised it was in the game to begin with. I mean think about it, the way they designed it people are encouraged not to play the game if they are close to a reset and they know an event is starting soon. I mean there's a bunch of people in this thread who have said they're not touching the game because they're close to those faster lootboxes and begging for the event to start so they could get back in.
I think Blizzard did the math and wants to lower the xp to an even 20,000 to offset those faster boxes at the early levels so you end up playing the same amount of games for a 100 boxes in the end.
While people might not like this change and might call Blizzard greedy because it clearly makes sense from a business point of view, they can't discredit the fact that having faster early levels and seasonal events with special loot boxes is a bad design choice for a game if you want people to keep playing it.
They should push the 20k exp update to live immediately if they're decent human beings.
This is both good and bad. At least I won't have to stop playing anymore.

Did the math and the exp you need from 0 to 100 is basically the same with this change, but it sucks when you are near lvl 100 right before a seasonal event :\

Need to bribe the game in the form of buying loot boxes.

Lmfao at still no patch notes.
Haha no thanks. I learned my lesson with TF2 keys..
My Mercy average for competitive is 11.8K. 7.2K for QP.
...hmm. I have a lot of work to do, and that's only on QP.

Maybe they don't want to release them in case people see them, misunderstand then freak out? Idk. Seems silly tho.

Oh dip, zarya nerfs too.
Ults builds slower across the board.

Knew a Zarya nerf was coming, atleast it wasnt that bad. 2 bubbles giving 100% was a bit damn OP, especially when you have idiots on either side just blasting at the bubbles asap.

Quicker decay rate though.
Will zarya ever get to 100 charge now? Definitely a major NERF to her dps.
