Heard there's gonna be some character tweaks, particularly to McCree's damage output against tank enemies and D.Va getting a potential damage buff, as she was originally intended to be an aggressive tank character like Winston.

Blizzard is currently considering the possibility of a future update to add cross-platform play for console versions of the game.

Loootttt of update news, most of it sounds great.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-big-questions Quick Summary:
|
1 Fan would kill a tank? That shouldn't happen, but high damage output should be a trade off for low defense/hp
|
|
Apparently the game has a semi-hidden penalty system in place that just goes after rage quitters.

Doesn't seem like too much of an actual deterrent.....
No actual "benefits" of "leveling" right now is there? I mean, other than free loot boxes or w/e |
Just time as a deterrent since it would take four times as long to level up and get free loot boxes. Might have a side effect where those people might just end up purchasing more loot boxes than they would have normally.
|
I sincerely hope taking invites doesn't count. I leave games in a hot second if I get a chance to group up.
|
I actually think it does, because I got that warning the other day, and I've always stuck around in losing efforts. Only time I ever quit out was joining invites or if I happened to time out while on daddy duty.

Feel like actually forcing a player to a "timeout" period would be more effective.
|
It's a pretty common penalty so I can see it. Seems to work alright in Rocket League.
|
Blizzard announced the current userbase for the game is at 10 million players. Gained around 3 million more players since their last announcement a little under 2 weeks ago.

It does count, you shouldn't have to worry about the penalty unless you leave 4 in a row. They gauge off your last 20 games so grouping up with friends will get your attendance count back up unless you all constantly leave. The warning stays on your screen until Blizzard deems you worthy. I tested this all out. |
got this again on Xbox One if anyone wanted to group up some time and fuck shit up
|
I was hoping to get it for Father's Day, but had to make unexpected repairs on my wife's car.
It is unquestionably the next game to purchase for me. If there were a way to trade in my digital games, I would be able to get it for sure. Can't fucking wait. Been watching the Overwatch porn to hold me over :D |

Sounds good, it's better when you have a team. Otherwise I wouldn't be bothering everyone |
Getting away from Junkrat/Torbjorn, I'm starting to get real good at Mercy and Hanzo
|
Y'all making me want to triple dip so I can get a good group going for once, but timezones would probably fuck with that anyway.
|
Sorry for missing out. I'll try to join up.

I have a Discord and a couple friends that can go in battle. One guy sounds serious all the time, but mostly we all just want to have fun and secure the payload. He also reacts to being shot/damaged over the mic. His name is KingFat and he doesn't know he's a legend in his own right

Holy shit, that timing
|
The Weekly Brawl is all SUPPORT this week. Up to 2 of each character though. Can't go all BASTION or TORBJORN on ppl
|
Recent patch for the PC version disabled the "Avoid this player" feature since it was causing problems with the game's matchmaking system. Apparently people were abusing the system to avoid playing against skilled players instead of the idea of it being used more against griefers or cheaters.
https://www.destructoid.com/blizzard...e-370317.phtml Blizzard is also going after those who quit matches for the game's competitive mode with bans among the punishment options being issued. Same 75% EXP penalty as leaving matches in Quick Play mode but with the added kicker of being suspended for a series of matches or banned for the current season. http://beta.egmnow.com/articles/news...sult-in-a-ban/ |
Forgot to share this kickass Play of the Game the other night (I actually submitted it to Kotaku Highlight Reel)

LOL! Saw this on your feed - ridiculous. You had a pretty badass Reaper highlight too. |
Had a few. I never really used the guy but I'm finding him pretty fun and deadly so long as I compensate for the slow fire rate.
|
He's getting nerfed soon on the consoles.
|
30% damage nerf. Seems brutal, it'll be interesting.
|
30% damage nerf? I would have went with a range nerf. Shotguns should sting. They're shotguns.
Not a fan of the 'aesthetic balance' thing Bungie and now Blizzard are doing. |
