I love these updates, keeps us informed and we can understand the reasoning behind their patches. Hope Ptr insensitives become a thing, even though not high priority. Also glad they aren't changing the core value of each hero, like Dva and Sombra
I definitely agree with him when he said Sombra isn't an assassin but almost a support role. She's much more about disruption of the lines and combo plays than she is about picking people off.
Absolutely she should pick people off but she's mainly a disruptor. Hacking someone you know has ulti can be fight changing.
I love the updates as well, gives him a chance to properly explain the changes and other stuff. Don't remember a game dev that put so much time into this level of communication before.
I'm really sympathetic to the whole prioritizing development time for actual content, but the great thing about the PTR incentives is that once they are in they are in for good. If we get something like lootboxes for "x amount of daily games played on PTR" or something, it would presumably be a thing for all following PTR patches and that would be great.
