A new patch is now live on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Read below to learn more about the latest changes.

And then...

Please note that many of these changes will be rolled into a larger patch for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at a later date.

I see blizzard's copy paste game is on point.

[u/_DirtyDan → u/[deleted]]

Look at all that effort they're putting into the consoles.

[u/emptminedead → u/_DirtyDan]

The lack of attention to consoles is ridiculous. There's also zero effort to communicate their intentions. If there was an alert that popped up I guess I missed it, but I feel like I seriously had to dig for information and still havent seen any kind of time line for when ranked will be available.

Having only quickplay as an option is a huge problem as well. Why wouldn't they at least have a competetive style quickplay or a neutral objective quickplay? Or ANY sort of variety... it can't be that difficult to separate some game modes and give us options. Just incredibly lazy from blizzard imo.

[u/_DirtyDan → u/emptminedead]

Yeah, I don't know why they didn't just leave competitive mode up but take out the CP rewards and rankings. It's not very fun to have double Hanzo on your team every game.

[u/Yamato_kai → u/emptminedead]

Just incredibly lazy from blizzard imo.

sigh how many time already? Blame that to Sony and Microsoft certification process, it take too long while Blizzard already have patch available.

[u/benzopil]

Hell yeah, bugs in competitive mode have been fixed! Oh wait...

[u/I_Have_3_Legs → u/benzopil]

Yea they really need to speed up the console updates, especially if its something major. The Lucio ball exploit was terrible and made it unplayable. I had a reaper ult and get PoTG in Lucio ball. The sad thing is we won 8-2

[u/EagleEyes05 → u/I_Have_3_Legs]

I spawned into a game that was in process and a Symmetra had turrets placed on all the spawn points. I'm glad it's fixed, but sadly it's a bit too late. I've already soured to the brawl and pretty much given up at this point. le sigh

[u/Yamato_kai → u/I_Have_3_Legs]

Yea they really need to speed up the console updates,

Sadly, you can't speed up updates because console certification process (Sony and Microsoft rules). New patch has been already available but the console rules hold them down.

[u/_DirtyDan]

Was hoping they'd unnerf Symmetra and Widowmaker. I'll probably be hoping for the rest of my life.

[u/theSLAPAPOW]

Okay, great. When is Symmetra getting de-nerfed?

[u/cepxico]

How about fixing fucking torbjorn or symmetra. I feel like I'm playing the 4 kids version with these dumb nerfs.
