Looks cool. Can't wait to go Molten Core against a horde of omnics.

Twice in the past 3 comp games I've successfully landed a sleep dart on an ulting/nanoboosted Genji/Reinhardt only for someone on my team to wake them up immediately with a little f*cking pea shooter. This makes me Ana-gery!

Mercy's new voiceline is a godsend for the salty, passive aggressive healers out there!

Why are PSN downloads so ****ing sloooooooooooooow

Canis Lupus

1v1 lose 5-2 vs guy with SR of 3500

Next match get him again. Pay attention and beat him 5-1. He complains that me going around the side is a "bull**** gay tactic" and why can't I just go in for the fight.

Wise man say. It's not always about the pointy clicky but about the thinky thinky young one.

What a jerk, complaining cos you kicked his ass and he hadn't the brains to counter. Really put me off 1v1 duels in Dark Souls back in the day, everything that's a little unorthodox is met with "you're a **** ****** lol gitgud"

Anything that's not abusing mechanics is fair game.

PvE game is great fun. Instantly got the dva intro highlight. Best thing they've done with her!

PvE is great fun. We completed it on hard on our third go. Will give the harder difficulty a go over the next few days.

Lucio 2.0 is great fun. His boop is what I imagined they​ should have been from the start. I got a lovely double boop off on Lijang Tower earlier and they went flying.

Only problem we encountered were a few connection errors. Lost both games because of them. In the first game I was kicked and had to reboot Overwatch. Second game a randomer on our team left/got kicked and didn't rejoin.

Good update so far and some great skins.

Benzino

Lucio 2.0 is great

3k for the skins? feck off blizz :rolleyes:

Grayditch

That's what Rein and Zenyattas were for the last one.

The visible aura is actually such a good QoL change. Now I just need to learn how to wallride.

Try turning on reverse wall ride in controls. Makes it easier I think.

I'm liking the practicality of the aura for now but i really hope they remove it after a few weeks, or at least make it a bit more subtle.
Find it slightly distracting.

Good update overall though, enjoyed the PvE.

It is been removed. It's only there to give people a chance to get used to the reduced distances.

The speed of Lucio's projectiles feel so much better.

Really? That's a shame. Be nice if they just made it optional. I find it useful, but also really satisfying that you can see exactly who's within the aura.

I'm finding it a little distracting, especially the green aura.

I did miss a few guys with Ult yesterday because they were a little further out so you can definitely feel a difference there.

It's a lot but before you couldn't buy them at all so it's okay in my book. I've got 3k but I'm split on becoming a Genji main with his new skin or just getting another Mercy skin!

Problem I have is I like Mercy's Halloween witch skin I never want to switch off it. But I still want the other skins :-/

I see a post on the Blizzard Forum that they've made changes to the "streak" system.

It now takes longer for a streak to kick in and the multiplier is also reduced.

Personally I've dropped almost 300 SR this season with a 53% win rate. I haven't experienced a win streak above 3 and i haven't lost more than 4 games in a row (that only happened once).

What are people's thoughts on dropping SR over all even if you have a Win % of 50%+ ?
