The Nyx Avatar Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 It'll buff it. Before you couldn't actually stop stuff point blank (like if Roadhog hooked a teammate and shot them directly in the face, as in the example), but once the next patch rolls out you'll be able to.Oh yeah. If Junkrat shot, it'd take a little distance before his projectile would register on the Defense Matrix. This would be a nice addition as I've heard D. Va's damage has lowered.

Shradow Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Potential Bastion changes in the next PTR: "Here are some high level stuff we're likely to have testable in the next PTR: Recon Mode - Lowered spread and increased magazine size, to help with general viability in this mode. Sentry Mode - We're looking at focusing this mode into more of a tank-buster and barrier-buster mode, while also making it feel less suicidal to be transformed. To that end we're testing stuff like increased spread and removing headshots, but taking less damage while transformed. Self-Repair - We've been testing a few big changes to this that are feeling really good so far. Currently our internal build has Bastion able to use Self-Repair while moving and also having it no longer interrupted when taking damage. To balance that out it is now on a resource system (similar to the route D.Va's defense matrix went). These changes have turned this ability from a more niche rarely used ability, to a much more powerful and core survivability tool. We're still testing and tweaking things with Bastion but we'll hopefully have a PTR build coming fairly soon so you guys can try it out!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make Bastion highlights more fun and sounds like more satisfying to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'll probably play a lot more Bastion with changes like these, I always found him a bit clunky for my liking but these sound really cool. A shame console doesn't get the PTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recon Mode is an interesting change, though. What will his magazine size be? 40? 60? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Bastion's plenty powerful at low levels but any moderately intelligent player can counter him pretty easily, he's very niche. He's almost unseen at the pro level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nyx Avatar Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Well, I've gotten Zenyatta's event skin in one of the Loot Boxes. I'm hoping to get one of Mei's or D. Va's, but only time will tell. Also, is 1 v 1 gone or just until the event is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nyx Avatar Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 gotten d'va's event skin twice so the luck is already worn out on me apparentlyReminds me of when I got Torbjörn's Santaclad skin thrice. Though I got currency out of it to buy Tracer's Christmas skin, so maybe you could do the same to get a certain skin you want. Either way, hopefully you have better luck in later Loot Boxes. Also, another difference I noticed ever since an update or when Overwatch was down was on the bottom of Arcade; before, in the bottom, there'd be this bar in the bottom left of the window of the game (a couple of bars). They're gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctic55 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Heya scrubs! Haven't been on in like months. Anywhoo, I see your talking about the Chinese New years skins, and I wanna say, kinda annoyed with you peeps who got duplicate event skins. I've opened 2-3 dozen boxes at this point, mostly duplicate non-event items, only skins I got was the Zenyata and Junkrat skins, but I wanted Mei and D.Va, so really salty since 2 duplicates per box has been my standard this event, oh also got a non-event rare Zarya skin. Sadly, I'm only at 1300 coins, so not buying a skin this event. Anyways, add me on PC: Arctic55#1174 if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nyx Avatar Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Well that was sudden. The event's almost over, and the only things to note that I've gotten from it are Mercy and Zenyatta's skins. Also Mercy's highlight intro.Upcoming PTR stuff: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20753097493I knew Winston was good, but didn't know that his potency warranted a nerf.

Shradow Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I knew Winston was good, but didn't know that his potency warranted a nerf. Guessing you meant to say Roadhog, and yeah. Being able to one shot any non-tank on a 6 second cooldown is perhaps a bit strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Yeah, Winston isn't super good and so he got a buff, that's why I assumed you meant to say Roadhog and not Winston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nyx Avatar Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Yeah, Winston isn't super good and so he got a buff, that's why I assumed you meant to say Roadhog and not Winston.I thought he was fairly good. You don't necessarily need to aim with his weapon, his Ultimate restores and increases his health, he's great in Capture the Flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic55 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'm so mad, been playing my heart out to get loot boxes for Mei skin. Game gave me Junkrat and Symmetra after three dozen boxes... even D.Va and Reinhardt would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nyx Avatar Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Well, the event ends today. Yesterday, I managed to get one of Mei's skins (the white one) in one of my last loot boxes. Would've hoped for D. Va's skin, but perhaps another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic55 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Solid 4 dozen loot boxes and $11 in and no Mei skin, was short 165 coins. RIP, only good thing is I finally got the Reinhardt skin and will be able to get another legend or 3 off the bat next event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
