New patch notes, with deets on competitive season 2 and lots of balance changes. these are for the PTR, which usually lasts about a week.

https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/20243886#patchnotes

Word on the street is that Sombra is gonna be the next new hero, and she'll be a stealth-oriented character of some kind. Here is a video which compiles the various evidence:

2 PotG out of 3 thank you Blizzard for this buff never take it away.

Munkus Beaver

Dammit game, stop making me lose so many points in competitive.

If I get three golds and a silver don't drop me a full frickin rank you jerkass ranking system!

Ashcroft

I feel bad for Winston players. I was already destroying them, now it feels like they're not even there.

*First game using post-patch D.Va gets medal for 18 eliminations killstreak and most eliminations in game*

That'll do...that'll do.

UnbrokenEva

Mentioned in party chat, adorable young Ana + toddler Pharah, from someone that used to hang around here:

Post patch D.Va is so fucking good, it hurts.

TheySlashThem

after a few ranked games the d.va buffs feel like maybe they were too much

WiseManTobes

If anything the one spot I feel they could dial back is Mccrees range, that drop off is non existent now, he's basically a sniper

Don't worry. I'm confident I can still lose super hard with her.

BionicPenguin

Apparently, this McCree buff has basically removed Pharah entirely from the pro scene. She dies so quickly, no one bothers using her.

Enlong

Man.

Receiving a Nannaboost as Symmetra is a hell of a thing. That death beam is strong.

Brainleech

I still do but then I avoid comp like the plague

This makes me very sad.

I'm sure they'll be rebalancing later to correct Pharah's situation, like they did for Zenyatta and Dva.

But Pharah is still really good in the scrublord/average tier.

Oh, for sure. I'm going to miss seeing top level Pharahs, though, because she's my favourite to play.

Ceno

I like Ana.

Finished out the night by opening a loot box with two legendaries, a purple, and a blue.

One of the legendaries was a pile of gold, but it still made my heart stop for a second.

Bendery It Like Beckham

Sudden Death in comp mode really makes no sense. Trigger when both teams have 0 time left, not when 1 has 9 minutes and the other has 30 seconds.

Ceno

Apparently there's a bug in the Xbone version of the game that causes the entire game to crash whenever Ana shoots someone. They have temporarily disabled her while they figure out what's happening.

Edit: Looks like it's fixed now

I don't know why people still think medals mean anything in competitive. They are not an indicator of your actual performance or ability. If you really did that well, you should have won.

i got a sunyatta and a devil mercy in a box today

Not really. I mean, medals aren't the be all, end all or anything, but if you have 3 gold medals, you're probably doing something right. Also, one person can't carry an entire team.

I dunno over the last couple of days I have definitely noticed I get shot down much more quickly, usually by a McCree. I thought it was just me but evidently not!

But that's okay, I'm slowly getting better and better at Tracer!

Yeah, I'm aware that it doesn't mean I am godking Munkus, here to kick ass and play Overwatch, except I'm all out of ass.

It's that I am doing about as well as I can, but I can't carry.

Goose!

Sorry, folks I was grouping with tonight. My internet shit the bed.

I kinda liked d.va before the patch. After that d.va and I are as one and none on this earth shall separate the two of us.

Did the lijang tower control point maps and had double my normal amount of kills (went from 15 average to like 35?) And got PotG and only died once in two levels and that's when I accidentally jetpacked off a cliff

Adus

i mentioned the other day that my junkrat friend killed me despite being on my team. it happened again, though i may have an idea why. i got a screenshot this time (it's very hard to see since the screenshot got cut off + the kill timer, but it shows we're on the same team in the kill feed). i think that genji may have reflected her grenade or something? even if that's the case it's super weird that she got the credit.

Romanian My Escutcheon

So thanks to my sister, my PC has reached a semi-respectable point, and I am finally able to play this here shooter game.

Things I have learned in my first three days;

-Ana is hot garbage when she is on my team and a serial killer when she is on the other team.
-There is no escape from D.Va's ult.
-Nobody wants to stand on the payload.
-Literally nobody.
-Like, absolutely nobody.

The Betgirl

Shout out to @turtleant for putting up with how obnoxious my brother and I can be when we play the video games together!

(we played some fantastic matches though )

Romanian My Escutcheon

Oh, also; Discord orb is hilariously broken.

Genji can reflect Junkrat's grenades yes

yeah but in that case Genji should get kill credit

Prohass

No new achievements for Ana? That's a bummer

Vixx

there are! you definitely get one for shutting down an ult with a sleep grenade
