    They did a whole separate article this time on the reworks. Pretty interesting.

    I really like this. I wish they did this with all reworks that are more than just numbers and tuning changes from the get-go.

    IMPORTANT: Does Dirty Trickster share a cooldown with his normal trait, or only itself? IE, if you get hit <50%, do you have to wait 12 seconds before dying to get the normal Total Mayhem trigger, or can they both fire off one after the other?
    It'd be trash if it weren't only with itself, so I'm going to assume it's an independent cooldown.

    His Trait doesn't have a cooldown to begin with, it is most assuredly independent.

    I imagine it functions exactly the same as Gazlowe's X-Tra Large Bombs.

    They cropped it, but I think that they're clicking the skills in the last Whitemane gif. What a shameful display.

    Anyway I'm real excited for Junkrat's rework though. Not only are they giving him actual damage options, they're giving him compelling competing talents to some of the more popular choices like TFE or Ripper Air. Sure, you can still take those, but the other options are strong enough to take other ones instead, AND you can still get damage options elsewhere.

    TFE might still be *the* pick, I'm not sure yet, but having access to Chattering Teeth that early in combination with the new strong Trap talents could be worthwhile! And again, you make up for the damage loss elsewhere in his tree. But like, a chasing trap that also Silences for 2.5 secs? Sign me up.

    Bombs Away is almost certainly a worthy contender to Ripper Air though. Goddamn.

    I think depending on the map you wouldn't want chattering teeth with a trap build. With it you can bait the trap away from the fight. Without taking it, you've sealed off a lot of smaller chokes

    The flapper skins are some of the best skins they're ever done and it's all in one event.

    Like this is easily the best theme since Nexomania.

    Chattering Teeth guarantees that the trap WILL hit someone in a fight. You literally toss it down when the fight is engaged and it will hit someone. If someone wants to spend 5+ seconds after I toss it down to lure it away, that's 5+ seconds that the fight is now a 5v4. That's still a win in my book.

    It also turns the level 7 Trap talents from being "eh maybe if they facecheck this bush, maybe." into a guaranteed Silence or -10 Armor. Maybe not on a predictable target, but *a* target that you can still blow up in that window. That's way better than some otherwise nebulous "value" as a zoning tool that never gets touched.

    Every time Saeris plays Junkrat trap meme build I go try it and lose because trap build is a meme and you should feel bad for playing it.

    When I main tank I step on those traps willingly as much as possible.
    For the good of the team since I generally can absorb the damage and have an escape.



    I also do this when I'm a squishy backliner, but for somewhat different reasons.

    Even though it's QUITE A FEAT to have more deaths than kills as the fish of doom, this was a serious pants-on-head game due to my wonderful allies.

    Finally
    when inky kicked in at 20 I was able to 1v2 the enemy multiple times which denied my allies from constantly feeding, and we won after having no buildings left.

    Ehhhh. It's really hard to force both Sonya and Misha out of the top five, even as great as Murky is.

    i don't think murky's playstyle is particularly interesting, other than the tension that comes from having very low health

    The core fun of Murky is that you're a stutterstep hero that doesn't need to bother with autoattacks, which makes it play a lot smoother. And the dopamine hits from W'ing a wave and getting bribe stacks for it.

    Also maniacally cackling whenever you successfully duel someone.

    every now and then you pop in pop off an octograb/march then pop outtie. just to, yknow, remind your team that you're there, because your team is an anxious puppy that thinks you're never coming back when you were gone only 30 minutes at the grocery store.
