Okay, I'm really going to sound like a Nintendo fanboy, but hear me out.

Blizzard needs to get Overwatch on the Switch. Besides Overwatch on the go, there's a whole lot of money for Blizzard to make. Amiibo of the Overwatch cast? Hell yeah, those would be eaten up so fast. And detachable joy-cons with character-based color schemes? There's surely a market for that too.

Holy shit. Zarya might be dead if those changes make it out. She'll get one graviton per game.

Dva new meta?

I think I'm okay with the ult nerf across the board. Lucio becomes an even worse healer (and it won't matter)

Almost all previous PTR balance changes made it live just saying.

Blizz announced on the official forums PTR would be changing. Basically, PTR will be used to out any wacky shit that they think up, and these things may or may not go live in the game proper. LOL

Eeeeh. I get why they're lowering ult rate (to lessen the "death ball" nature of the meta) but I feel like all that's going to do is make the death balls less frequent but still the main strategy. So many abilities are designed around it and all poking does is build ult charge for both teams.

I didn't even fear Zarya in Comp as D.va. This is gonna make it even easier for our Tracer x D.va OTP.

I really like the new presentation of the Play and Training menu. The Hero Gallery looks kinda old now. Maybe they can use the same artstyle for the portraits!

I'd like to see it happen - maybe give Pharah a Samus skin? Or hell, make Samus playable!

I also kinda sorta want Tracer in Smash.

What I learned from Blizzard's PTR notes is that they don't understand the difference between percent and percentage points.

But almost nobody does so nobody noticed.

To be honest I don't think those D.Va buffs will do much to help her. (except make her better for stall tactics I guess)

Those Zarya nerfs, on the other hand, is the biggest indirect buff lol.

Movement speed buff is huge. She's gonna be an even better backline harasser now. It's much more likely she'll be able to get in, kill a healer, and then dip out.

The Zarya nerf seems okay to me, but only the 40 charge per bubble thing. If they do that AND nerf her charge decay, that seems excessive.

Exactly. The movement buff is the biggest direct buff, since having to use boosters just to chase an enemy down whos just... Walking... Is shit.
But Zarya losing some charging capability? Yes please. Being able to survive against a Zarya that bit longer more or less fixes her for me.

I just want to point out that the ult charge rate thing is something I've gone over a bunch, as did some pros, as a major problem with the core system of the game. I think that is by far the best thing to come out of this.

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
If her decay is the same and they just hit the amount per bubble Zarya is still gonna be great.

Her graviton will take longer to come up but a universal change like that hits everyone to the point where it's hard to predict how it plays out.

zarya is just so bad now, you get much less energy and your ult takes even longer to charge on top of the less energy and less damage, that gravitron surge might go off like twice per match at most and rest of the game you're busy just spamming harmless grenades lol.

More about getting that turret to level 2 faster, but not wanting to make his hammer the weapon of choice.

True I never saw any of these comps in platinum. Maybe diamond is just better mechanical skills than plat but not better game knowledge.
