    Is it wrong that I would like them to appear as skins in OW.

    For those who don't know, it's a play on the game Mother Russia Bleeds.

    FANTASTIC game itself, well worth buying for some couch co-op with mates.

    Think of Streets of Rage with crazy violence and published by Devolver !

    Awesome, looks like she got more of a buff than a nerf

    Not sure what to think now. REZ was Mercy's thing. I guess it depends on the cool down between uses. Valkyrie Ultimate doesn't sound great from the description.

    Well her been able to fly is a good thing. Personally I thought she needed a little bit more pep in her step to get away from battle and this could be it. I would hazard a guess at rez been 20 second cooldown

    The question then becomes what does her Ult do to the Rez ability cooldown?

    EDIT: Reduces it from 30s to 10s for the 20s duration of the Ult. Cooldown on Rez also reset when you pop it, ntb.



    Overwatch update to let Mercy resurrect players as a regular move

    She gets area heal with Valkyrie ability on as the heal/damage buff will chain to other team members close by with an extended lock on and beam range... It sounds pretty damn good to me for that push on point getting 20s of chain healing...

    These changes sound really good. Combine that with the new map and I think Blizzard are doing a great job keeping the game active and fresh.

    Their Friday Night Lights voice line reference scores some nice brownie points too.

    Mercy changes seem great, I wonder what the AOE healing numbers during her ult are. 30sec CD on Rez with 10sec CD during the Ult.

    I hope we get a new Solo Healer soon

    Season 6, Silver-Plat players can now drop ranks

    https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20758826275#1

    If you play 5 Matches below your ranks minimum SR without a win, you'll rank down. So you can't be demoted on a win.

    SR Win/Loss changes too, for heroes with low winrates.

    The game needs another healer over another defense hero.

    That first point makes no sense to me. If you lose now you lose SR. Are they saying if you lose five games in a row next season in Platinum you drop to gold?

    It's just a cosmetic change really, it means you lose your platinum badge if you drop to gold and lose five games.

    I only noticed that for the first time recently. When I was 2900-ish, I still had the diamond badge. Was wondering what that was about.

    does it? a good anna with a zen/mercy/zen can destroy, the problem is nobody heals, ended up teaming with with some cscottish lads today, anna and emrcy combo with me free to flex, went 13-3. Healers seem fine to me

    I only play healers in comp and we definitely need another one.

    There are four hero's at the minute who can heal. Only one can provide a speed boost, only one can provide reliable sustain healing at a distance.

    Season 3 & 4 we would have seen Mercy/Anna and Lucio. Season 5 (Dive) it was Lucio and Mercy mostly with the odd Zen/Anna.

    There is no variety there and it's backed up with the really high pick rates of Zen (Season 2), Ana (Season 3), Mercy (Season 4) and Lucio (Season 6).

    After being stuck at 2150 for weeks, I have now exceeded my goal of 2200 this season, to reach 2300! :) Up almost 200 from last season, which I'm happy with. Up to a solid 62% Winston Winrate.

    End of Season isn't all that bad.

    Placed in silver this season ended in diamond long long season even tho its the highest I've ever been its also the least enjoyable.

    So much salt and toxicity.
    So many leavers, punishment not enough.
    Meta was horrible really.
    Your punished for playing with friends

    Hopefully this next season has bigger changes

    Silver to Diamond? Holy shít, that's some journey.

    Biggest and best change, in my opinion, is making Control maps best of 3 instead 5.

    Losing a closely fought best of 5 map 3-2 is devastating and draining. Takes about 25 minutes and if you lose it, you're not in the mood to play anymore, from my experience.
