mccree is GOAT

has the GOAT lines too

it's high noon Proud

I just hope if/when he gets nerfed it's nothing too much and he's still viable

and by that I mean I can ruin reinhardt's in 4-5 seconds instead of 3 Proud

saw a good idea for his nerf, just tone down the damage on fanning the hammer by about 30% for 5 seconds after using the roll skill that reloads your ammo

Why not give it a chance to break his revolver for 5 seconds. Since that's what fanning actually does... Realistically I think the recoil should be made far more uncontrollable than it is at the moment.

Some info from Blizzard.

There's a big discussion about how the ranked mode works (which is still targeting the end of June). It's now a system where you can rank up and down. The game will try to match you by skill, and at equal party sizes. The seasons will last about 2.5 months.
There will be more information about the new maps and heroes coming starting a bit later into the Summer.
They're already working on updates all the way through to early next year so they have a steady rate of new content, though they're open to changing the rate based on community feedback.
The first few new heroes will be released one at a time since beta players reacted very negatively to three being released at once.
Jeff confirms Sombra is real and that we haven't found all the hints in the game about her yet. Apparently I wasn't thorough enough. Presumably she's the first new hero coming.
They're open to the idea of Xbox and PlayStation players playing together, but have made no progress on this topic as of yet.
Jeff notes that the server runs at a tick rate of 60, though that the client could be updated to run at 60 as well if more people are willing to test it in the custom game mode. Currently it doesn't work for about 20% of their player base and they need more people to test it before it can be rolled out to Quick Play. He does say most of the killed around corner issues are from latency though, and not the tick rate.
McCree's Fan The Hammer damage is getting nerfed so that it doesn't kill tanks, definitely kills lightweight heroes, and maybe kills medium health heroes.
D.Va is either going to get a damage buff (mostly in terms of lowering the rate at which damage drops off over distance) or survivability buff, but not both. They're testing both options currently. This will be later than the McCree nerf, which sounds like it's soon.

What you mean to say is that while Mei may not be OP, her ult definitely can be Razz

Really want to buy Overwatch... PC or console though?
I'm contemplating buying a console, I bought a Lenovo laptop more suited to gaming back around Christmas, but I've never played a shooter on a PC and I think I would enjoy the game more with a console.

You guys playing with PC, PS4 or Xbox?
I can't decide

by RealGunner Wed Jun 08, 2016 6:06 pm

most are on PS4 but few on PC too. Up to you wherever you have more people to play with

by Luca Wed Jun 08, 2016 6:22 pm
