Since we are 99% getting a tank i would like it to be a female, we only have two. And something really different for a change.
Holy shit, That damage reduction, Widow full charge body shot gets reduced by 21, head shot 24
also if you need a video 76 shots are reduce by ~6, This means pre-armor nerf it was being reduced by as much as 10 per shot. half damage

I wish Blizzard would de-nerf Lucio's speed back to it's original percentage:
▶Speed song (20% to 30%)
▶Amp it up (50% to 70%)
...because playing Lucio feels "sluggish" and the nerf hasn't done anything to stop the GOATs meta.
I know they buffed his wall-ride speed to compensate (20% to 40%), but I'm still at an disadvantage when there are no nearby wall, since speed was my #1 tool to escape danger.

Wow, has Blizzard responded to this finding yet?
Its the weekend right now so I doubt anyone is in the office.
How did they add the "damage numbers" to the game (is it a workshop code)?
I really wish they would add that "damage number" option to the real game, it would be extremely helpful, especially with judging fall-off distances and getting a more accurate number representing how much damage you're doing.
If they fix this Brig thing then they have to add all the damage back to her shield bash. So tired of the constant nerfs to my main.
Its not but getting rid of unintended effects helps solve the overall problem, plus it has some interesting implication. Like a Rein charge a ulting Brig would get her down to 53 instead of 74, assuming full armor. Has a better ability to kill her after the charge with a single swing.
I got a background download on my B.Net client for Overwatch. Apparently it's for an upcoming patch?
So it looks the brig armor bug hasn't been there since she launched, its most likely a bug related to her rally decay change
From June @21:55
Zen or damage is 46 so reduced by 5 its 41, Brig goes from 350 to 309 then to 268, both correct
Been in the game since at least March @8:33, Same Zen damage except reduced by 3, but goes from 350 to 313 so 37 instead of 43

Gateway timeout but that could be a Talon tank character in the twitter video. Maybe a tease for the next hero
Don't say that or else it'll some monkey paw's type shit, like it being made by Tite Kubo or Hiro Mashima. Though I'd fucking die of happiness if it was Hiromu Arakawa.
Oh, I misread it. Nevermind I guess, but I still stand by the content of my words. Be very careful when wishing for Overwatch lore.
Bleach, Fairy Tale, Fullmetal Alchemist.
Nothing. I thought you said "manga coming to OW" right after someone commented "Lore!" So I thought you were joking about manga being made for OW, which means we'd need a mangaka. So I said careful what you wish for, because you don't want the mangaka of Bleach or Fairytale touching OW. But if it was the mangaka of FMA....man.
IT'S A JOKE GONE WRONG, BUTTCHIN, I'M SORRY OKAY
Oh lmfao
No, Mauga is a character introduced in Baptiste's short story. They gave him enough details (shield, dual machine guns, possibly a pinning move) that it's very likely he's the next character. Like a playable Talon Heavy, but with more tanking abilities.
Is there something wrong with Sombra's stealth detection? Had a match where the same guy "detected" me twice while in stealth despite not getting a "detected!" message pop up; in both cases he as McCree came in my general direction, rolled and threw a flashbang and landed a hit once I came out of stealth. I wasn't even moving when one of them happened, just observing the match. Never got the "detected!" message, and none of the other team had other players with detection abilities.
Could be a variety of factors. Maybe he plays Sombra and knows the best hiding spots. Maybe he was just spy checking, and you didn't see the times where he flashbanged nothing.
Can't recall running into spychecking much at the lower ranks, but I guess that could be it. The first time it happened he started coming right at me, so I backed up and to the side and the moment I did is when he rolled and threw a flashbang. The second time it happened though, there was a group of three of them moving around/past me so I was moving about to avoid getting detected, but the moment he got close enough to me he did it again.
Nothing really new, just going over the new patch and the Baptiste challenge event also a FFA competitive mode

Mauga seems cool and we could use another tank so I hope this isn't another Junker Queen/Echo/Sojourn situation where a character is "revealed" with the hint or even a confirmation that they'll become a playable character and we're left waiting indefinitely
He honestly reminds me more of the Talon Heavy Unit from Retribution/Storm Rising, and from that brief moment when I saw a teammate control one in competitive, it was wild.
[I'm quoting myself]
If anyone's interested I found the Workshop Code to add the "damage visualizer": 8QB20

Additionally, sometimes Defenders fight late with good intentions at Point A and end up staggered from their team when A falls, leaving their team with uneven footing to defend a rush to B. In these situations, temporarily lowering the respawn time to get those Defenders back with their team should be a better match experience and doesn't punish players so harshly for wanting to defend Point A.

I kinda wish with the replay system, you could download a replay file to load and play back later.
Looks like they sneaked another nerf for Brig's ult in there, with it no longer passing through enemy barriers.
The replay system seems cool. What would be even cooler is if they could auto-populate the timeline with highlights, so you dont have to scrub through blindly looking for the big plays. Edit: Or a keybind you can press in game to put a marker on the timeline.

Thats how all AOE healing Ults(Zen trance, Lucio Barrier) works that it took well over a year to fix is kinda insane
I wish they would add these patch notes to the main menu of the game (like how the have "What's New" during Events), because only hardcore gamers go online to read patch notes, so the majority of casual OverWatch players will never see them.
