Season 3 BEGINS at 2pm EST / 7pm GMT on Feb 7 - ASHE DROPS FOR S3 at twitch.tv/karq all week!
3:43 - Rein's shatter will cost 7% more (text graphic error)
7:46 - Sombra's pistol from 7 to 7.5 dmg per bullet (forgot to change text graphic)
So the Rein will have 7 or 12% more cost?
When I take a break from OW, I typically uninstall and silence notifications from related creators. This most recent time, I kept yours on, and I feel that was a good call.
The way you fit all relevant news into a video without any wasted time is, frankly, unmatched. Not to be rude, but Stylosa and Flats specifically wear my patience with their style of videos, especially if I just want that quick rundown to see if I should reinstall.
Keep doing what you do, because no one does it better.
I think it is a small nerf but basically a nothing change with the rein knockback nerf. You could kind of juggle people back away from certain areas so if you were fighting another tank or something up close and they were close to a wall, like just inside the first choke on king's row, you could kinda get them out of los from their team by moving them to the side. It was useful and a little trick to win some fights in specific locations so I don't think the nerf does anything.
@@PetrMajka 7% my mistake
@Mr Jayboo why? Why do you hate rein?
Since Sojourn was dominating the entire game in the past few seasons, the overwatch devs KNEW that the best cause of action was to nerf torb turret.
Yea cause torbs turret and syms turret are very unhealthy for the game and just annoying abilities overall at least sojourn players actually have to shoot
@@cursedfl4mes645 TOMA PAPUDO
TAKE THAT... main torbs doesnt deserve attention
@@cursedfl4mes645 soujorn players shoot logs and spam aoe abilities tf u mean
@@cursedfl4mes645
Have you seen the rail gun hit box?
Sojourn players barely have to aim in general
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure wrecking ball is the only character now in the games history to passively have both shield and armour
I noticed that straight away and was so happy to finally see it!!! Especially since now if he takes poke damage, it will damage the shield but not his armour or health.
And with the adaptive shield ball will have 4 colored health pool
@@Libraflame absolutely incredible 😩👌🏾
@DamoGamo Same! Ever since i started playing in 2017, I was waiting to see this. Ball definitely deserves this op combination aha. Thought it would've been a good way to buff bastion too before his buffs but this works too
@Libraflame And technically 4 types too, initially I ignored the overhealth as a type seeing it behaves like health but now that you mention it, it does have the benefit of giving half thr normal ult charge doesn't it?
Zen getting 5 more shots is actually huge. There are so many times I was 1 more shot to kill an enemy but had to reload
i bet the same is gonna happen now but with the new amount lol
@@ravagerr grass is always greener lmao
@@curtissweeney5211 give an inch but zen players will still take a yard
@@ravagerr shhhh dont tell me the truth it hurts
Agreed, same. We are in harmony
Make your choice vs MercyPockets:
Focus the Pocketed: They gets more healing when low so it's harder to kill them
Focus Mercy: You have to shoot a constantly healed Mercy while her pockets bombard you
Lose-Lose scenario
focusing the mercy would be easier than before??? she doesnt get her regen after like 1,5 sec. having her regen on for 2 secs on live rn = the amount of hp she would get from healing someone for 4 secs, but thats unrealistic since they would have to be almost dead for it to work.
@Cryoptic_ I don't think you've considered the possibility that she could be pocketing a tank or someone with higher health pool. Also, her she automatically gets healed as long as she's healing someone regardless or not they're under the 50% hp mark or not so it doesn't take much for her to just switch to someone who took damage and start healing them to get her self heal. Assuming this heal stacks with her passive heal that triggers after 1.5s, this just makes it harder for DPS to pick her off since they would have to be much more consistent with their shots. Also her GA nerf is really only a nerf for "good" Mercy players who know how to cancel their GA early so the cooldown starts as they're ascending rather than when they reach the peak of the GA jump.
@@rileywhite4281 oh god do i rly need to tell u? exactly how is she gonna stack her heals on herself? u do know that they REMOVED HER REGEN PASSIVE??? its being REPLACED with her new heal while healing ally. is shes pocketing a tank, ur unlikely to be fighting the mercy. also even if shes healing someone above 50%, its only about 11 HPS. i will take that over starting regen after 1,5.
the GA nerf hits at all ranks, not just good mercy players.
@Cryoptic_ Alright sure, I was about to edit my last response so I realized I was wrong I'll give you that. However that honestly is better for her overall because yes it's not high heals, it's consistent. For example, on the opposite side of the chart, Moira doesn't have high damage rather it's the consistency of her easy beam that makes her annoying if she decides to flank you.
@@Cryoptic_ She still has the support passive regen, she just loses her boosted one. Her new passive does NOT heal 11 /hps, as when you heal your team you get 25% of the health you heal, the support regen heals 11 /hps. Also yes, the GA is going to effect higher level Mercy players, most lower ranks don’t use GA enough or at all. They also have trouble using the GA tricks so they don’t use it often. I’ve seen gameplay from the lower ranks of a Mercy who didn’t GA once.
Been saying that Brig change was necessary for months. Felt SO BAD pressing E on a low health hero knowing they were going to die before anything happened
oof, yeah, I feel that. it's like "here, this is a gift to help you in the afterlife, I guess"
Now they will last 1 more second cuz brig heals are still sh1t.
As a Brig main, is awkward I’ll tell u that
@@lulu_TheWitchBoy the game still giving you saves after your teammates and you are long gone
Even me, a genji main, felt pity for brig
As a Rein main the knockback impulse is honestly an extremely good QOL change because you can swing and not have the enemy get knocked out of your hammer range
Great pfp
@@doomslayer8985 lmao yeah both of y'all
@@doomslayer8985 ty i get that a lot 😄
As a Lucio main, I'm scared because I used to abuse y'alls knockback for movement and get away with some trolling in console plat. But no more.☠️
It does reduce the effectiveness of a tech he has where if you swing at the proper angle instead of knocking them away it pulls them closer. This is different from his other swing tech where he extends his hotbox range using corner swings.
Overall this is a buff for those who either don't know the tech, aren't good with the tech, or just can't be bothered to do the tech in the middle of an intense brawl.
The updated color blind options are such a great change from what they originally were! Being able to customize personal settings, rather than choosing from a few options, can make the difference between literally being able to see important details and not.
Covering all the important stuff without a forty minute video. Impressive content as always. Keep up the good work
Regarding the map changes, I hope they plan to add an alternate time-of-day to every map at some point, they can rotate them between Seasons to keep things interesting as a substitute to Map Pools.
I like the little preview window in the settings, maybe they'll add every hero cinematic to the Hero Gallery like they did for JQ and Kiriko, would be nice for new players to get an idea what that hero is all about.
I would like to them rotate every match
@@liberalstchenel596 Yeah, having more chances to get King's Row would be nice regardless of the time of day or weather xD
@@liberalstchenel596 This! ↑ Once map pools are gone, it would be great to know, not only what maps are available, but the random lighting would keep the game fresh.
circuit royale being morning now is so gross looking. it was gorgeous at night
I AINT READIN ALLAT 🤣
I think Reins hammer knock back change is not good for when you're pinning enemies off the map and giving them a last hit to push them further. However, it probably stop enemies being pushed further away from you when they’re jumping.
I think more good than bad 🔨 👍
Agreed! And less jarring when hit by his hammer, which I feel is also better feeling to play
As a ball main. This is a massive buff to ball. Rien can't hit me off course anymore. I always get mad when Rien swing kills my fire ball speed.
But it wasnt strong enough to push them off tho, it just made it easier to escape from you.
And i think they shouldnt have nerfed the ults damage so much.
Mercy changes are going to drive me insane
Mercy players rise up 😂
same
Fr i felt like they should of let her be
@@makenzie8577 no she was a menace. She needs to be able to be punished more
@@jasontrumbo4809 Anyone with eyes, 2 limbs, and bio-electric currents going through their brain can properly punish Mercy. If Mercy is not in shooting range, then she isnt a concern at that moment.
The hard part being the Sojourn right beside Mercy will destroy your HP bar with one right click. So Mercy clearly isnt the problem.
Thanks for the video, I always appreciate someone reading out the patch notes instead of me reading them. I sometimes misread things so this helps.
For Rein there always seems to be this issue where the knock back will sometimes knock targets away from you . This should help him stick to targets a bit better .
yeah it always just felt so inconsistent, sometimes they go to the side, sometimes they move away, sometimes you even suck them back in. I think just lessening that seeming randomness will be better to play with overall though.
Its because of directional influence, basically people running away from you will be sent farther than someone in neutral or walking toward you. Really nice to not bump supports running away from you, im interested to see how it will be
The only thing im surprised they didn’t nerf is the one DPS that hits harder than reaper, moves faster than tracer, and snipes better than widow…Soujorn
U forgot the other part her ultimate that’s just genji blade but can kill from anywhere on the map
@@randomguy123playsgames genji blade can barely do the kill part
And she does 130 body damage and 195 head at nearly any practical range while genji does 110 per swing which isn't even enough to two swing a Cass:)
@@jd.cd2493 honestly I don’t get why they just hate genji but love soj. Soj is blatantly op on paper and in game she has like 80% pick rate with every top500 dps having her in top 3. Meanwhile genji gets hit with like 2 abilities and just cries
@@jd.cd2493 The devs during an interview with flats said something like "we want to take some power away from his blade and put it in his normal kit".
What power? Unless you have a damage boost or nano blade is ultra mid. The Devs don't play the game.
As a rein main the knock back reduction on hammer will be a quality of life for both reins and enemies. I won’t get frustrated so much that a basic attack is stunlocking me, and as a rein I won’t have to chase enemies as much.
Season 2: overwatch has a damage problem
Season 3: more damage less health
reducing tank health is prehaps the dumbest decision the devs have ever come up with, they wont rest until every role slowly devolves into pseudo dps
@@spencerknutsen464 they did it only for the arcade modes its balanced to acount for the fact that theirs not a full team shooting at you in those modes, characters like roadhog dominate no matter what in arcade
@Anthony Mercado No. It's just for arcade, the rest modes have the normal health for tanks.
@@josuegutierrez1553 It wouldn’t make sense to have the update for arcade and not comp open queue. The tankiness of tanks would be a problem needing to be resolved for both modes.
@@josuegutierrez1553 no, open que comp has the tank health low like he described
Considering ball constantly has to run away to heal having that shield is CRAZY good.
bro as a Ball Main I’m salivating at these changes, might finally be able to get out of Diamond now
@@evanmartin333 watch him be good af. Then he is fun for 8 days since 3 years. Then everybody complains. Then he gets nerfed into irrelevance again. (Doom story basically)
Time for ball to be the most hated hero
There's still a skill ceiling tho. This helps dormant ball players
Yeah, gl killing him now
Ball did not need the shields
@@gustavoramos7992 toma no teu cu
Back in OW1 he once was a meta everyone cried about, despite skill ceiling
those accessibility options are so great! good on the devs for adding them and ESPECIALLY the preview option that shows BOTH the say and night lighting, that's so cool
Fr
Havana and Numbani are back! I loved both maps but I'm sad Eichenwalde has to go, Ecopoint looks cool as well.
they lied about numbani
@@eridiance9818 yea i was gonna say that i havent played numbani once this season
The mercy changes kinda feel like a buff for pocketing a dps. You squeeze out damage boost untill they are half health and then burst them back to full with the increased healing. Probably is going to make pharmercy and sojourn mercy more annoying. And the changes to valk healing im mixed on because the constant regen was annoying to me as a winston player as she outhealed my damage with one passive ability but it seems like she can still do that?
I felt that too lol. They didnt hurt SoujMercy at all they just made it even harder to kill a Souj through her heals. You can use cover more to make up for the lack of mobility, these changes were obviously just to make Mercy feel like shit to play without actually making Soujorn any less broken than she has been since day 1
I agree that extra burst of healing will be quite good but in my opinion I think you’ll have a bit of a easier time bursting the pocketed target because of the heal nerf but I might be overthinking it so I’ll have to see it for myself.
@@tysonallen4342 That is true too but I think the heal nerf will be way more noticeable on tanks than pockets. She still heals like 25% of a pockets health each second or something so I dont think itll feel that noticeable on squishies but that is a good point, I think we will have to play it to see
@@tysonallen4342 definitely good if you do burst damage but I play winton so im used to mercy being able to entirely outheal my well placed and risky dive just by being slightly outside my range and still healing an ally through my 13 second cooldown bubble :( hate that damn character
you dont want to heal them at 50% health because they could be oneshot easily. Especially for squishies
Love the attention to detail and your effort for max coverage like my great late grandmas over the shoulder boulder holder
Not a fan of the Mercy changes. I get she was a problem because of sojourn but this just feels like a nerf to her fun factor (mobility) and promotes pocketing from range even more
I don't think this really affected sojourn-mercy either.
Yea time to see her pick rates go down lol
It’s still a pain to get through sojourn, but I feel like this improves the situation of “I can’t kill the sojourn because mercy is healing her and mercy is impossible to kill” my making mercy slightly less hard to kill
They literally nerfed what she’s supposed to do, have good movement and stay alive for her team. 😬
@@hadesrecordofragnarok blizzard is just panicing and they dont know what to nerf/buff lol.
I'll take any improvements to Sombra gladly at this point. And Widow going back down to 175 is delightful along with Sombra's damage increase.
Same. She’s a difficult character to play for very little value. I am really looking forward to see what they do with the rework.
It's amusing seeing them realise they might have overnerfed her when they crapped all over her last season. She's still overnerfed though, so we can await the buffs in season 4, I guess
@@ElusiveTy Honestly wouldnt mind if sombra stays bad such an annoying character. Doesnt feel fun to play against at all.
@@steel2572 she’s like a fly. Just swat her away and she leaves
@@Pam234 yea i hate flies
Man, the shield buff on ball is massive. Literally no other hero benefits from shields as much as ball does considering he can easily get out of combat and start regening them. This also helps protect that juicy armor from annoying poke, preserving it for close-quarters. You also have 150 less hp to worry about meaning that 2 giga packs and one small pack is all you need to have maxed out hp. Pile driver buff is also cool since it's damage was incosistent and underwhelming for a 10 sec cd
I don't know. I still think Piledrive is one of, if not the strongest ability in his kit. Displaces the enemy, damages them in a large AoE, sets up his ultimate... 8 seconds doesn't seem too bad on paper but it's actually quite scary. I think the ability might be a bit too frequent now.
My suggestion - tweak it back to 9 seconds, but give a small buff to his primary fire.
tbh he didnt need the shields, he probably has the highest survivability next to orisa because of his shield ability that can grant him up to 100+hp
@@TopBurger239 I'm not so sure about that. The main problem I have with Orisa surviving so long vs Ball surviving so long is that Orisa is able to tank all that damage with fortify and contest space. Ball can only come in with a scoop and dive and then run away after shooting a bit. Sure, you can argue that he can have up to a maximum of 1300 HP, but that is conditional compared to Orisa's fortify. I also need to mention that the skill ceiling for playing ball decently is much higher than playing Orisa decently.
@@megit6607 for a target that is harder than orisa to hit, ball is pretty tanky. 1300 is unlikely. 1000-1100 is not. and that is a LOT of hp. considering ball can pretty much just leave whenever he wants... i dont hate the buffs, but im doubting if this is how he should be buffed. id like personally to see a less tanky more dmg heavy ball. or perhaps some utility, wouldnt flaming hot ground after where he rolls in fire mode be cool??? sounds cool to be and that is rather good util.
@@DizzyHotSauce I kept thinking they should buff his piledriver move, but not by reducing the cooldown... just another minor effect from the ability. Like it's good but seems to suffer a similar problem as doomfists ult
Zen getting 5 more shots is actually huge.
I clicked on your video because it was the shortest out of the ones that appeared first. Thank you quick and to the point. Earned a sub.
As a Zen main I appreciate the 5 extra orbs
As a ball main I appreciate the faster piledrives :>
That means one more volley charge before reloading
More damage RAHHHHHH 💪💪🔥🔥
@@afifmaulana1433 You can charge a full volley as long as you have 1 orb left
Watch this lead to a cringy future nerf
Thank you for all these up-to-date updates @KarQ. You are the number one for all Overwatch (2) anything.
And that intro, wow! Always makes me feel good 🫶💯
4:15..
This is a significant buff for Rein mains. One problem was that Damage heroes who would hit and run could sometimes get assisted with running by our Hammer. With this buff, Reinhardt can more consistently get that last swing to finish then off instead of helping them escape.
Bro I absolute love that ur intro has Scarlett Fire playing in the background
As a rein main, I would largely say less hammer knockback is a buff, but it's sort of situational. Can definitely hurt sometimes around ledges or in tight corridors as you can knock people further from their team, but past that.. not bad overall.
I immediately sent the video to my friend who's a Rein main :D hopefully he feels the same way as you!
I'm a big fan of it even as a non-Rein main. The less knockback the better in my opinion
REIN BUFFS!
But I do wish they put a lil rework on the pin tho. Like imagine ur boosting into an enemy team yet you only manage to push them instead of pinning. It can be frustrating sometimes
@@miyahara6059 do you have any ideas for how that could be addressed? im really curious! maybe some kind of minor CC/CC-adjacent thing so the enemies will be affected to at least some degree, just not the same degree as getting squished?
The mercy changes have the exact opposite effect of what they wanted. Higher ga cooldown means that mercy’s will stay back and pocket long range dps more, the support passive change will make mercy players stay back more because you don’t always have a valid healing target so they will default to blue beam behind cover more, the healing change will make pocketing much more annoying than beforehand. Who is this rework for? The mercy community hates it and they dps players main concerns weren’t addressed so who is this rework for?
Yeah.... they didn't think this one through very well...
I would have preferred a complete rework over this honestly.
I assume the Mercy change is good for dps flankers who want to kill Mercies?
So indirect buff to Genji (yay), Tracer, Sombra, and Reaper.
It's for people who aren't stupid and understand that your argument makes no sense whatsoever .
@Quhyung Park I play genji and mercy. I'm telling you this is not healthy. Especially considering they didn't touch her damage boost....
@@quhyungpark2064 I dont think it matters much, even if you can flank you still need to kill Mercy faster than a Souj can click on your head. Its definitely easier to kill her of course but Soujorn still takes 0.01 to kill any flanker and then your whole team has to wait for you to respawn and try again unless you can kill Mercy before Souj gets you, but considering its a Souj that kills you in 0.01 seconds, I dont think it changes enough
4:10 reins knock back used to completely throw off Winston’s rocket jump so hopefully it doesn’t as much
Fantastic overview, thank you KarQ!
Love the Junker Queen buffs. She is so much fun to play.
YESSSS, in the season 3 trailer i think it showed her getting like a rockstar skin
She's flat out the strongest tank right now. I played games yesterday and she was picked on the enemy team in 100% of them. Why do you guys take so long to pick up on shit. Of course she's "so much fun to play". She's unkillable and can solo an entire team if no one knows how to aim their burst (everyone who plays this game).
Have any of you actually sat and watched a Junker Queen running around in your games recently? Next time you play, just sit and watch the Junker Queen running back and forth around everybody not taking damage. It looks quite retarded to be honest
They've already buffed her too much. she's too strong as it is right now. heals too much without doing anything. now they're giving her more hp. already know they're going to flat out do a 180 and nerf her into the ground in the next couple patches. almost like they should've seen this coming. i seriously wonder why it takes people so long to pick up on this stuff. and i barely play this game
@@tomatoesofdoom cool
@@tomatoesofdoom Naw she fine lol
@@tomatoesofdoomit’s probably a skill issue
No Sojourn nerfs? ☠️
Nerf Torb turret. NIIIIIICE
💀💀💀💀
As someone that started in OW2, Eichenwalde and Busan are my favorite maps! Why do they have to take those away! At least they don’t take away Ilios
As a rign main the knockback tends to be more of a hindrance then a benefit. It only helps if they are aiming at someone other than you because your hit box is so big. So overall I say this is a buff
I can think of so many times where reins knockback robbed me of a kill but only like two times where his knockback noticeably helped me so im liking that change
For mercy this was a hard nerf to her tempo of game play, and the one thing mercy mains were begging not to be hurt while leaving what everyone else was complaining about.
Couldn’t agree more. Nerfing her movement is stripping her identity.
Everyone was complaining about DB and rez and they didn’t touch them, they just gutted her mobility (her main defense).
It's just ironic that they talk about trying to make support more fun, then nerf the only thing that makes Mercy fun lmfao
@@CozKidNumber1 i have a theory they are trying to kill mercy so sojurn will look less broken because i cannot even EXPLAIN why nerf mercys ga out of all character skills existing in this godforsaken game when ow 2 is all about fast speed and ga was literally the least people complained about
Tbh i like the mercy changes. Big buff on healing. One of the biggest concerns for mercy was that you were just unable to get your tank up, or protecting an ally that is low.
This change is great, because it encourages player to damage boost until your ally is low and then heal him up.
The 20% Speed nerf on her backwards jump is fairly insignificant, as long as you yeet your mouse across your desk xD (Which i do anyway, but each their own)
The self healing is insane! Looking forward to test it out, especially in valc.
The cooldown nerf is a bad one, but kinda necessary. Maybe a bit overboard. 2 Seconds would be fine.
Right now mercy can get into pretty bad situations and just get out scott free using her movement. Now you need to think a bit more before you fly into the enemy team :)
@@BlackwoodHDEnglish as a Ashe player I will hate this chance, since every headshot will mean that she gets increased healing meaning you will always need 2 consecutive headshots in a row I believe to kill someone and if you miss the second 1 I believe you have to hit 2 again to kill them
kinda sad that genji being popular makes it so they wont buff him even tho he is one of the worst dps rn. his pickrate is still decent and he isn't unplayable but you really do notice how almost every other dps hero is doing more dmg or more consistent dmg
So Soujorn stays the same for the second season in a row of constantly dominating,wonderful

@@jaded-harper related to that now that u can’t see teammates ranks but they implemented a scoreboard (which is infinitely more toxic) private profiles shouldn’t be a thing anymore. They only made private profiles to reduce toxicity but like I said they made a scoreboard which is much more toxic. And the private profile thing in general is a nuisance competitively because knowing if someone on ur team is a 1trick and accidentally taking their hero is such an inconvenience or being able to counter pick someone on the other team for an advantage. In short open profiles make sense now and I hope they change that
@@randomguy123playsgames yeah i mean tbh im fine with hiding your profile being an option but idk why its the chosen option by default. what other multiplayer games that people know of does that lol. i barely check anyones anymore because most of the time its just hidden

How do you make your before-and-after comparison videos, since we all receive the update at the same time?
the changes to rammatra and junker queen means that widow can now one shot tanks:), also for some reason - them increasing ult charge means that - turrets can be now destroyed for eternity and her shield deplosy slower:D
I prefer the knock back from the hammer to be 10, I like displacing the enemy. But it is nice not having them get booped away too.
Isn't this a nerf for environmental kills charge cancel and hit with the hammer, doesn't it boop less now??
@@khaledm.1476 they removed melee attacks as environmental, including reins hammer sadly.

@@toxiccrowrk I am fine with it not counting as environmental as long as I get the kill, but this nerfs the kill potential

Ball changes are really good. The pile driver cool down reduction is scary, but I think it still takes a decent player to line those up. So bad players will still be bad.
I agree, as a garbage ball player myself (He's my least played tank) I still very much waste the CD
let's all rejoice as hundreds of players try to play ball and ruin games for their teams because they have no idea how to play ball lol
Wrecking ball is like tracer, they are really scary in gm and above, nearly useless in every other rank. Which is I think is how hard to play heros should be balanced
It will be good for those who know how to wall jump and not have to rely on grapple to pile drive
@@zacharyjackson1829 I mean that's what Quickplay is for. To practice Heroes, have fun, etc. lol. Try harding belongs in Comp. xD
Best video on all the changes out there and I've watched like 2-3 today before this. Well done team KarQ.
Hell yeah this is the video I was looking for
This whole video I waited for the ball changes... then the whole section on ball i was waiting for you to say they fixed his reloading when enterig/exiting ball form. How did they not address this in this patch? One of the worst parts of ball, can be very frustrating and frequently makers the difference between soemone living and soemone dying. Hopefully it comes eventually.
That shield change for ball is amazing
He's going to be so fuckin strong now.
We have suffered long enough now time to make everyone else suffer
@@bobhotpocket1875eh hell be stronger but the health change is still a giant decrease
Actually scrap that it’s insane
I wish you ball players luck that you get to keep those buffs. Us doom players got a week
mercy is all about mobility. why would they jump the gun and go for a whole second on GA? her survivability is gonna go down so much and it’s the sole reason why she’s fun. mercy in OW1 could not keep up so they added more movement to GA, but i guess they forgot? the healing changes are pretty good but dang it’s gonna suck trying to adapt
the only reason i played her is to LARP an f16 pilot that shoots healing but now ... I just dont know ...
Yeah not to mention her damage boost is annoying af to play against plus almost unkillable due to the insane mobility
@@juto8809 i mean if dmg boost is such a problem they should’ve just nerfed that. and mercy isn’t too unkillable cause she can die in like two shots it just depends on how good they are
I play open que 90% of the time so the tank health nerf is going to be very noticeable
as a rein main the knockback reduction is a nerf, especially when securing certain ledge throws where a push to the left is beneficial after release
Some cool changes, definitely excited to see what the future brings, especially for Brig!
as a rein main i think the swing changes would be a buff in either directoin, higher means more cheese like knocking someone backwards if you're running perpendicular to them, and lower means, like you said, it's harder from run away if you're chasing. i would've preferred for them to increase it as it would mean i can knock people into my team, away from my team, off the map, off point, etc.
Yea i can agree on that, and now i cant solo tap players with ult :( the most fun with rein
"The Ana lives" as she flies off the map to her death
if u jump with the momentum of the swing as u get hit from enemy rein it can carry u further away from him... it gives u options
the change on rein's hammer knockback is a buff when you're just swinging at someone but a nerf for when you charge someone to the edge of the map and try to use your swing to boop them off the map
i want rein to have an alternative hammer swing binded to quick melee that does less damage and more knockback (not lucio levels but enough to push a fool off a ledge)
I was about to say I’m never playing mercy with that cooldown nerf but that healing change will be interesting
Same, how are we supposed to survive? Without Damage and now also without movement? Literally disabled her..
@@gustavabensberg4260 oh wah i dont get to be a AC130 every other second im so helpless
@@slump8665 her only defensive option is a 25 bullet pea shooter💀
I like how you just left the curser massive
im a rien main and this push buff/ nerf is helpful but also not helpful cause when your trying to push someone away it majorly effects it, but it also reduces their chances of getting away
Mercy mains are about to embrace the reinheart main mindset of being the human shield “live with honor, die with glory!”
I just want to say, they reworked mercy's healing, messed up her movement, and gave her a new passive, but it still looks like there's a valk beam break.
Leeets goooo, I’m so sick of being dived right as I need to reload as zen
I main reinhard and I say it good the lest knockback because some DP or Healers have some ability that can take advantage of the small knockback. But is also a bit bad for the reason that player won't have to worry about being knock every time they get hit (that my opinion)
Was somewhat fun to hammer someone out of bound though, since you can decide the direction of the swings at times
Yes that true especially players that like to jump alot that you can give then a big push
do you think earthshatter got nerfed or buffer overall
@@michaualtington buffed tbh. less damage sure, but i don't really get kills from just earthshatter alone, but having them be knockbacked for longer seems good to me. but tbf, i'll have to see when it hits live to really see what it's like
@@michaualtington i say both but seem fire strikes got buff you got a easy way to kill your enemies
PETITION FOR A EASTER SYMMETRA SKIN WITH THE TURRETS AS EGGS AND THE TP AS A BASKET
Holy sh*t that would be amazing
YES PLS
or the tp could be a rabbit hole
Damn devs now I can’t place my turret, eat, answer texts and emails while I use Torb; Now I actually have to repair that bad boy.
What software is used to display your keyboard and mouse inputs? And how would you integrate it into your game without it being a distraction?
Other than the mercy passive and junker queen, these all look good. Here's hoping for Rein meta
Circuit Royale was imo the best looking map in the game. All the visuals were just so pleasing. I seriously dislike the time of day change.
the time change is disgusting. It looks GORGEOUS at night.
That zen buff is actually massive. Complete W
I think mercy could have used a bit of a buff to her heal, not a nerf. She may be powerful but you need to remember she’s only dropping high heals because she legit cannot damage like a Moira or Bap.
Rip us mercy mains, with the new movement nerf we'll die even more defenseless than before :,)
She has the same amount of healing from 1 to 200 hp
She’s also the only character besides moira that requires no aim and rez is still a broken ability. But yeah she needs a buff lmao
@@Atatatatatatatattata you can use damage boost until they’re low and heal though or am I missing smrh
As a Mercy main, I usually only heal when people are under 50% HP anyways, so I see it as encouraging people to be more proactive in switching heals and buff.
Absolutely hate the new mercy GA, major nerf :( though the other changes are interesting and might be really fun
even thought it’s still 20 seconds so glad you can’t just infinitely be in his ult
I was sad about the tank health pool changes for open queue until I saw the buffs my boy Hammond got
The non-role queue tank changes will actually make arcade a lot more enjoyable now, especially with roadhog also having been nerfed.
Also mercy changes I’m both a bit sad on, but more overjoyed on that passive because that is extremely strong and she’ll feel even more unkillable in valk.
ALSO NUMBANI MY BABY IS BACK
Does this change also affect Mystery Heros?
I removed my like when I saw that last line
@@HogEnjoyer Yeah, it affects every non role queue game mode. So deathmatch, open queue, mystery heroes etc. Weirdly it also happens in the practice range though
@@elyassidris738 to each their own🤣 I just like Numbani way more than maps like Hollywood and Blizzard World…
@@ronan1686 nothing better than playing mystery heroes and the enemy team has 4 tanks and I KEEP GETTING WIDOWMAKER
I hate the Mercy backwards GA change since they didn't also change it when you just face that way. Either do both or neither, because the way it is with this patch seems so clunky.
yeah that just feels fucking dumb
I kinda think it makes sense that you’d have less momentum going backwards than forwards. 2.5 second GA cooldown seems like an extreme overreaction though
@@TnTCinematics2012 ye the slower backwards is fine just a little clunky but the extra second ruins her movement and honestly would rather play Lucio if I want movement
@@TnTCinematics2012 given that now she will be unkillable in valk, i think the idea behind these changes is to make her less of a pain to deal with in general while shifting some of that power to her ult to make her ult more impactful
So the ga cooldown nerf makes a lot of sense, but we will see if it feels good
@@mateuszzielinski2166 The ONLY thing that mercy needed to be touched was her damage boost, the whole community was asking for that to be touched and what did they do? Buff that playstyle!
Reducing hammer knockback is ABSOLUTELY a nerf.
Damn I was hoping they'd do some changes with Mercy damage boost and maybe lower zen's discord team damage multiplier and increase his own.
Busan and Eichenwalde are two of my favourite maps 😢
Overwatch is going in the right direction, i hope it stays like this
u acc think mercy changes are good ?
@@backstabber3537 I mean in makes pocketing worse which was the most annoying thing about her
@@Bbistheman_ does it tho? you can much easier heal up that annoying soldier on the flank
@@Bbistheman_and now what is she going to do?
Too early to say that
The map lighting changes are some of the best so far
I play a lot of rein. I haven't tried the new rein yet, but I think I would prefer higher knockback with the hammer so I can push enemies around the battlefield to where I want them
I feel like they went the wrong direction with the Mercy nerfs. GA is what makes the character so fun for so many people, nerfing it inherited makes the character less engaging. They should’ve nerfed rez or damage boost instead
The main problem was literally GA and damage boost and res isn’t even that bad just kill her when she’s rezzing
Fantastic commentary and perspectives! Looking forwards to the new season
OMG look at these Ball Buffs man, so happy
Awesome video. Liked and Subscribed
these are some really good changes wow
The reduced knockback from rein is definitely a nerf imo
Seems like a very healthy patch execept the phara ult, is now faster? Huh?? Feels like its the fastest to get ult ingame
Havana is one of the maps I definitely did not miss.
I miss Hollywood. Wish we could have traded Colosseo for it
I miss the ptr. We used to be all hyped together for new content but now only content creators get early access to everything so there is just no surprise anymore.
I love most of these changes, but I am not excited about Ball having an easier time jumping supports in the backline. No one ever turns around to help.
especially with mercy being a sitting duck now, teams are gonna have to learn to peel for supports more than ever
I love that they reverted the genji nerfs
