I doubt there'll be any significant changes for this season
Horizon is a really cool new game. I was very impressed in my few hours last night. But here I am the next day refreshing an OT and a twitter account for a game that came out almost a year ago, just because a new season of comp is starting.
This game won't let go.
I blame Tracer's awesome hair and Hanzo's sick bow.

Same. I have so many games in my backlog to play but can't stop playing this damn game.
Legit felt the same just got horizon and while it's doing the install I thought "hmmm season 4 starts soon let me see if there are any updates " lolHorizon is a really cool new game.

Still will wait out the placement matches for a few days

Considering I was heavily into Destiny for a while, I know how it is.
Haven't finished BB
Got halfway through RE7 (don't see me picking it back up, first half was decent tho)
Haven't even downloaded Mankind Divided
Sun & Moon lol (sold my 3DS just recently)
Had fun with Hitman but didn't do all the missions
Started Yakuza 0 and that's it
There's probably only one game that will make me stop playing Overwatch at this point.

Had to get one more win in the last hour before the boxes for arcade reset yesterday and by the gods it took me about 6 matches to finally get a win.
I wasn't playing the best myself (on tilt? absolutely!) but I was still in the situation where it felt like I was one of the two of three people on my teams doing good while the remainders just sabotaged it.
People throwing themselves off the edge in Mystery Heroes triggered me, it's KotH and we kept going in two players down because those chucklefucks couldn't at least try with their roulette choices, Lucio is great you fools!
I haven't touched Yakuza 0, Halo Wars 2 etc because of Overwatch. Jumped into Horizon because it won't be as long as those two other games.
Without team coordination Sombra can be really good against:
Symmetra's fortifications: Your mobility can make sussing out the teleporter/shield gen easy. Your emp will knock the generator's health down significantly and disable any turrets. In a team fight it'll eat her passive shield bringing her down to 100 health. She can't fight Symmetra one on one and hacking her isn't effective, so have your trans locator somewhere safe.
Zarya: EMP disables her barriers and brings her health down to 200, turning her into a instant squishy. Hacking her will really disrupt her barrier charge farming. She's also a big target for your Uzi.
Roadhog: Hacking disables his ult, it disables his hook, it disables his heal, and he's a huge and armorless target for your Uzi.
Zenyatta: EMP brings his health down to 50, making him an easy pick.
Tracer: Hacking her really fucks her over, and your hack is faster than her reload.
Genji: Hacking him really fucks him over, and he's a pretty easy target to hack. It's pretty fun to hack him while he's deflecting.
It would be cool if they retire the current gold skin.

Yeah I still need to do BB DLC, DS3 DLC, need to finish TW3 Blood and Wine, Pokemon Sun and Valkyrie Chronicles lol. But I dedicate my entire gaming time to OW.
I need help

same tbh
I got like 10 hours back into TW3 before going back to playing/watching exclusively OW. If I'm not playing it, I'm watching OW streams or tourneys (when they're on). It's bad.
Thought about the "Miniature Tobelstein Reactor" mentioned by presumably Efi. Possibility that Zenyatta has one of these installed as well, which allows him to levitate? It seems to be related to manipulation of gravity, as it's also present in Zarya's gun. Perhaps Efi could be asking Zenyatta for help in finding/building one (since she apparently has to travel, why not travel to Nepal?)

7PM EST update seems super late, no?
If there are significant changes to S4 such as MMR or SR changes, scoring changes for 2CP, new rewards for your competitive points, or something else big, I'll get my ass to Master.
Lol yeah watching your favourite streamer/pro play takes up an extra couple hours depending.
The problem as is that these games are single player experiences so you need to really dedicate your entire time to it or the experience will have less impact.
I'd never imagine a year ago that there would be a multiplayer game stopping me from playing a single player game. This is the first multiplayer game to really get a grip on me.
Well we should be getting an update in 10 minutes of the new hero if we are getting one. We might get updates on season 4.

I don't think it disables her turrets, which is a really bizarre inconsistency in this game.

I don't think it did before the Sym rework but it does now.

Shit dude, are you me? Same here, I basically had 0 interest in multiplayer games until OW. Only a brief stint with Titanfall (the original) and Destiny, but those were waaaay shorter lived than OW has been so far, with no end in sight.

Update's live on PS4

This chart is way better than mine - thank you!
Things that surprised me:
Genji gets MORE common as you get to higher levels.
Soldier 76, too.
RIPer.
Tracer only exists in very high level play - weird.
Everyone knows Bastion sucks, at all levels.
Hanzo is a LIE.
Everyone knows Reinhardt is essential.
Roadhog gets MORE common as you get higher? He's in like 100% of my games in silver.
Why is Lucio less common as you get higher?
How is it surprising with genji? The high skill heroes get more common in higher skill tiers (gangu, tracer). The low skill heroes become less common (junk, dva).

Sad I won't be able to join you guys. Got two 12hr shifts to work today and tomorrow. But at least I'll be off the rest of the week.

I mean, I figured as much, but at that distance - that even with amped up speed boost would take at least a second to close - I wouldn't keep firing at the Zarya shield if I wasn't gonna kill. I try not to do that myself as it makes things worse for my team if I fail. I don't know why Luminosity kept firing. At least aim the shots towards Rein - Were they edging for a hook? I don't know. I just know they got melted seconds later when their defense collapsed.

This can't fucking be it. Why would they not just put everything in one large video instead of releasing a video specifically for this then having everything else come later?
Blizzard, come the fuck on now.

Preparing to update on PS4 here.
Now how about that new character reveal?
Just made it to the download phase. 1.824 GB.
Knowing PSN, I should have this thing downloaded in no* time!
* A fucking lifetime plus a child's lifetime and that person's child's life but that one will be cut short by lax environmental policy so it's cool.
Patch Notes
Bastion made it to live intact I think?

Winston seems like he's a KOTH map specialist right now. He benefits enormously from people having to come to him, and the barrier works far better in that map style.

Respawn Delay
When attackers outnumber defenders while taking a control point on Assault, Escort and Assault/Escort maps, the defenders respawn time will slowly increase until it hits a maximum value or the defense manages to gain the upper hand.

I hope that CTF will have a healthy community on PS4. It'll probably be my most played mode from now on, I loved it during the CNY event!
I somewhat feel the same, but after Symmetra I don't have full confidence.
