Yip i just got the background update. It was 181mb on PC.

Wont be Sombra, i am guessing the backlash on the cosmetics might be changed so we can purchase with in game coins and possible some small balance changes to Genji and maybe Ana

I hope its a Nepal fix and a balance update.

SomeJapaneseGuy•

What is wrong with Nepal? i havent had any issues at all when playing that map

2
NateTheGreat14D.Va•

In the recent patch, Nepal will sometimes have a server closed error in the middle of the match. Happens a lot in competitive.

Does anyone know how the server error disconnect counts towards the win/loss of a comp match?

2
abzvob•

Can confirm. Only when my team is winning, though.

NioNaiSorry Zenyatta•

It's not really just Nepal, but it had been getting a lot of "server error" crashes.

Blizzard has already said they aren't going to make the cosmetics purchasable multiple times so I don't think it will be that.

Yze3D.Va•

They also said that multiple heroes was a core mechanic of Overwatch.

Just backed out of the game and saw the update going, Really wish the patch notes button showed what it just downloaded.

could someone tell me what got changed?

RushinqBlizzard = Scamaz•

It would be ridiculous to majorly nerf Genji without PTR testing, especially since people are overlooking the fact that McCree is 99% pickrate in the competitive scene. If its just increased cost on ultimate that is fine, but anything else might be game changing for Genji tbh.

LanathellChibi D.Va•

Mc cree isn't picked 99% of time, he's at 74% according to the last meta report (but from 98% so you maybe are thinking of the week before).

Only zen and lucio are at >95% for obvious reasons

Surfac3Reinhardt (usually) on PC•

Yeah it's honestly zen thats needs a tweak if anything. His place in the meta has made roadhog less viable compared to dva and rein. Especially with all the mcrees and genjis etc. D.va might need some kind of tweak but honestly she's also super popular because even with discord a good dva can survive in a fight with all that armor which means she's useful against a zen comp on top of already being pretty useful now. It also means zaryas been getting more play because she counters d.va defense matrix with her primary fire. And since d.va counters Winston it's hard to play him to counter genji or squishes period not taking discord into consideration.

Wish I played with people that understood all this stuff but it's hard to find people willing to switch.

1
LanathellChibi D.Va•

Zen is the kind of hero that will either be OP or garbage.

2
Surfac3Reinhardt (usually) on PC•

True, I mean people complain about discord and everything like it was part of his buff but discord was always strong it's just that zen died too easily to tracer, genji, pharah etc that unless you had a super coordinated team protecting the zen he was useless.

I think it should go down to like 40% Damage instead of 50. Not a total nerf but enough that it won't be so strong.

Also Live is 1.2 so not sure what they're doing. :D

_Mafia_Jinx_Did someone call a docta?•

MERCY BUFFS ON PTR PLEASE. I HAVE 90 HOURS ON HER AND CAN'T EVEN PLAY HER BECAUSE OF HOW SHIT SHE IS RIGHT NOW.

GreenHatGamerMei•

if you have 90 hours on her and can't play her at this balanced state, you're trash.

_Mafia_Jinx_Did someone call a docta?•

You're right she's not shit. All the other supports are just twice as good.

I've actually switched to anna because her burst heal mixed with tranq dart is fucking insane. Not to mention her kick ass ult.
