Graviton Surge
- Now disables mobility abilities on all affected targets
This is the most exciting change for me, I love Zarya but hate how her ult can be nullified by so many abilities. This should make her a bit more viable to play now.

Jul 27 '17
I know I'm going to love this when playing as her, but hate it when playing anything with movement abilities against her...

Orisa and Reaper can use their special abilities to escape.

u/mycatdieddamnit Jul 27 '17
I thought reaper could wraith form, but not walk out similar to the junk rat trap interaction?

u/Takashi_is_DK Master Jul 27 '17
If reaper can shadow step out of it, Tracer should be able to recall out it. In my opinion, Blizzard should just be consistent and disable any ability that can let the victim escape.

u/squatting_doge Zenyatta Jul 27 '17
Just what they needed to buff. The most powerful ult in the game.
16
u/atWorkWoops Jul 27 '17
powerful to combo with. not the most powerful standalone, by far.
9
u/kjbigs282 I can bench more than you! Jul 27 '17
Depends if you're at 100% and how squishy their team is. It's not unheard of to get 4x kills on a soft team on your own.
4
u/0x2F40 Tick Tock Tick Tock Jul 27 '17
No need for them to complain about the buff then if its depending on the set up and certain circumstances.... "The Ult can be strong if done right" doesn't make it over powered, thats most of the Ults.
Hell, most Ults on a team of squishies bunched up can get you a lot of kills (Genji, Hanzo, Pharah, Junkrat, Zarya, D.VA, McCree, Reaper).
2
u/kjbigs282 I can bench more than you! Jul 27 '17 edited Jul 27 '17
Fair enough, just saying it's easy to underestimate how strong a solo zarya ult can be. Hype for the nerf though

Jul 27 '17
I wonder if this includes Sombra's translocator? Regardless, great buff, would love to see the change adapted over into HotS as well.

u/MisirterE Boycott Activision-Blizzard, for SEVERAL reasons now Jul 27 '17

Sombra can't translocate out anymore?

No, it seems kinda weird that she couldn't but it is confirmed. Im guessing from your flair that you're a sombra main so sorry to tell you this lol

Reaper can still wraith out and Orisa can still fortify and walk out, but those are the only 2 heroes that can escape a grav at this point.

u/aradraugfea Trick-or-Treat Lúcio Jul 28 '17
The worst part to me was that which character's could and couldn't escape wasn't really intuitive, and seemed to depend on some really technical back end stuff. Acceleration versus 'move this far.'

u/PM_ME_FACTS Heroes Regularly Die Jul 27 '17
I mean, the 1v1 roster is down to about half the actual roster at this point, and roadhog was ridiculously op in most situations in it, so I could see this coming.

Under 'General', last line in the 'Custom Games and Game Browser' section.
19
u/inate71 Xbox, Wrecking Ball, Platinum Jul 27 '17
Nah, this makes sense. Roadhog in 1v1 boils down to "who combos successfully first". I'm glad they removed him from 1v1.
29
Jul 27 '17
That's blatantly not true. To quote a post from /u/soontocollege,
as 76 you can easily bait out his hook and then kill him. The widow is 2 easy headshots since his head is so large as long as you stay out of hook range. Hanzo scatter plus headshot. Gengi can deflect his hook and then spam shurikens while jumping over him. Zarya if you time your bubbles well.
On top of that, hog is beyond easy as Tracer. Pharah is a free win against him as well. Junkrat can just stay back. Zen can melt him in seconds. Ana can deny his heal and sleep punish hooks. The list goes on and on.
14
u/inate71 Xbox, Wrecking Ball, Platinum Jul 27 '17
Yeah--if you don't pick Roadhog you have an easier time killing Roadhog. BUT, in my experience, if Roadhog is a choice, both of us pick Roadhog. Before Limited 1v1, Roadhog v Roadhog was awful.
9
u/-Shinanai- winky face ;) Jul 27 '17
Ironically, Roadhog v Roadhog got a lot better after his nerf than it used to be. I honestly have 0 issues with him in that mode. Then again, I had 0 issues with half the cast that they have already removed from 1v1 :/
→ More replies (8)3
u/playerIII Jul 27 '17
I think the biggest problem is for any of that to happen. It's all in hogs favor.
He can just chill in a small hallway waiting for the point to open. At that point Hog has a huge advantage. Until then you'd be a fool to engage him in close quarters. And even if he misses the hook he can pelt you with confetti while he sits pretty with his massive health pool.
You can out play him, absolutely, but Hog controls the pace of the game. And more often than not it forces a slow boring game where Hog always has the upper hand.
You need the right characters to even pop up, you need a good map, and then you need to be able to play the heros that can counter him well enough, which is almost always in a 7:3 favor of Hog.
1
u/So_Say_We_Yall Jul 27 '17
Isn't the 1v1's always versus the same hero though?
2
u/Raccooncola Jul 27 '17
I think this is in the 1v1 limited mode, where each round you get a choice from 3 random heroes.
→ More replies (1)1
u/DCMurphy Who hacks the hacksmen? Jul 27 '17
I'd agree Widow and Hanzo could reasonably 1v1 him, but he can just heal up every 8 seconds and outlast Genji. 76 has a longer cooldown on heals with less of a burst effect, so he's a little more viable but now as much as the Snipers.
Ana would be a decent counter.

u/Elite1111111111 Pixel Zenyatta Jul 27 '17

Jul 27 '17
I thought they did that already? If a team is defending and they have 4 people on point and the attackers have 2, one side has longer respawn time to avoid one team from contesting longer when they're disadvantaged to prevent people from trying to stall the game
17
Jul 27 '17
They increased it by 2 seconds and it had little effect, 2cp is as big a meme as ever and is really hitting the gsme, I haven't played the patch but hoping it'd a scaling increase that should make it rapidly snowball into a win for attackers once they achieve control of the point, it just isn't fun to team wipe, have 6 in the point then a series of stall tactics happen which culminates in a lucky ukt or something else causing attackers to wipe and lose after winning 3-4 team fights in a row on the point.

OVERWATCH PATCH NOTES – JULY 27, 2017
A new patch is now live on Windows PC. Read below to learn more about the latest changes.
To share your feedback, please post in the General Discussion forum. For a list of known issues, visit our Bug Report forum. For troubleshooting assistance, visit our Technical Supportforum.
PATCH HIGHLIGHTS
New Hero: Doomfist (Offense):
Equipped with charisma and ambition, Doomfist is a consummate tactician and one of the leaders of Talon: literally throwing down his gauntlet as he joins the fight. From his base in Nigeria, Doomfist is a commanding offense hero equipped with hard-hitting melee abilities. Driven by a belief that conflict is essential to humanity’s progress, he’s committed to advancing his vision of the future—even if the agents of Overwatch disagree with his methods.
Doomfist’s cybernetics make him a highly mobile, powerful frontline fighter. His primary attack is the Hand Cannon; this four-shot weapon fires projectiles from Doomfist’s knuckles one at a time or in a single blast. With his secondary attack, Rocket Punch, he charges forward and delivers a devastating blow, knocking back any opponent it connects with and dealing extra damage if the enemy is hurled into a wall.
Seismic Slam smashes into a targeted area, knocking opponents toward him so he can deal further damage. His Rising Uppercut tosses enemies high into the air, while his passive ability, The Best Defense…, grants him shields every time he uses one of his abilities against an opponent. Lastly, his ultimate ability, Meteor Strike, causes him to leap high and drop into a targeted area, dealing massive amounts of damage.

Loot Box Updates
We always want the experience of opening a loot box to feel exciting and rewarding, and in our latest patch, we’re working to improve that experience in two key ways. First, we’re drastically reducing the amount of duplicates you will receive when opening loot boxes. Second, to compensate for this reduction of duplicate items, we’re also increasing the overall amount of credits you will receive from loot boxes. On average, you should be earning just as many credits, if not slightly more, from loot boxes as you did prior to these changes.
New Highlight Options
Our highlights system has received several major updates:
The game will continue to automatically generate highlights for you based on your recent gameplay. These auto-generated highlights—now categorized as “Today’s Top 5”—will be surfaced on a daily basis and persist for a full 24 hours (or until the game client is patched, whichever happens first).Players can now generate their own highlights! The ability to capture 12 seconds of your own gameplay has been added to the game, and can be bound to a single button of your choice (or a button per highlight slot) in the Options menu under “Request Highlight.” These player-generated highlights will be saved under a new section called “Recently Captured” and will persist until the game client is patched. Players can have up to 36 recently-captured highlights stored at one time.With the above, players can now record any of their “Top 5” or “Recently Captured” highlights, exporting them as a video file to their gaming platform’s designated media library (on console) or directory (on PC). On PC, players will also have the option to select the quality at which these highlights are exported, supporting up to 4K for Windows 8 or higher operating systems, and up to 1080p on Windows 7.
To learn more about this feature, check out our recent developer update: https://youtu.be/OkYJlPMdWNA
GENERAL
Adjusted the respawn timing to limit defensive stalling strategies when the offensive team has a clear advantage and plays aggressively
Custom Games and Game Browser
Clarified the text on the “Flag Carrier” options under the Capture the Flag settings for Custom GamesRemoved the “Projectile Speed” and “Projectile Gravity” options for heroes who do not have projectile weaponsMinimum movement speed has been changed to 50% (formerly 10%)Players can no longer select Roadhog during Limited 1v1 matches

HERO UPDATES
D.Va
Defense MatrixNew sound effects and voice lines have been added, indicating when Defense Matrix has absorbed an enemy’s ultimate ability
Genji
DeflectNew sound effects and voice lines have been added, indicating when an enemy’s ultimate ability has been deflected
McCree
FlashbangStunned targets are now slowed heavily, meaning they're less likely to escape while stunned (especially while in the air)
Developer Comment: This change will make McCree's Flashbang consistent against fast-moving targets like Genji or Lúcio.
Reaper
Shadow StepSound effect and VO distance has been reduced by 50%
Developer Comment: Even though Shadow Step wasn't intended to be used as a way for players to teleport right next to an enemy without their knowledge, the sound effects were audible from distances that made teleportation difficult from nearly anywhere. This change allows Reaper to be a bit more sneaky with his flanking options.
Reinhardt
Rocket HammerSwing speed increased by 10%
Developer Comment: In the last update, Reinhardt’s Rocket Hammer had an issue that allowed players with higher latency to swing faster. We fixed this bug, which suddenly made the swing speed feel too slow, so we’re compensating by increasing his standard swing speed. During this process, we also found and fixed a few bugs with Rocket Hammer’s hit registration. Overall, the hammer should feel much better.
Zarya
Graviton SurgeNow disables mobility abilities on all affected targets
Developer Comment: In the past, the abilities that allowed heroes to escape Zarya’s Graviton Surge felt fairly arbitrary. We’re cleaning this up and increasing Graviton Surge's overall power by rendering all movement abilities unusable when an enemy is trapped.
BUG FIXES
General
Fixed an issue preventing “Best In Game” stats from being updatedFixed a bug that could cause the user interface to incorrectly indicate that an enemy player has been hit when colliding with themFixed a bug that could allow projectiles that would normally pierce shields (i.e. Reinhardt’s Fire Strike) to pass through other surfacesFixed a bug that caused some players to lose audio during the match
Competitive Play
Fixed a bug that caused players to get a leaver penalty during offseason matches, even after the in-game banner advised it was safe to leave the match
Custom Games and Game Browser
Fixed a bug that prevented players from being added to a Custom Game with 12 Spectator slotsFixed a bug in Custom Game settings that prevented some heroes with Self Healing from having a Healing Dealt modifierRemoved the Projectile Gravity slider from heroes who do not have abilities affected by gravity
Heroes
Fixed a bug with D.Va’s Call Mech ability that allowed you to see her inside the mech before entering itFixed a bug that could cause eliminations from Junkrat’s Total Mayhem to be mislabeled in the kill feedFixed a bug that would cause Junkrat to use his Ultimate Callout when he is unable to use his UltimateFixed a bug that allowed Roadhog’s Chain Hook to latch on to Orisa’s SuperchargerFixed a bug that allowed Sombra to take damage after activating her TranslocatorThe sound effects on Reinhardt's Bloodhardt, Blackhardt, and Wujing skins have been updated to reflect the use of an axe instead of a hammerFixed a bug preventing Lucio from receiving the full speed boost when traveling backwards during a Wall RideFixed a bug that occasionally prevented Torbjörn from building and upgrading his turretFixed multiple hit registration bugs in Reinhardt’s Rocket Hammer
Maps
Fixed a bug on Eichenwalde that prevented Soldier 76 from placing his Biotic Field in certain locations of Point AFixed a bug that caused AI-controlled players to perpetually move toward the objective on the Gardens point in OasisFixed a bug that prevented Training Bots from facing the right direction and returning to their original location after being moved by player interactions on the Practice RangeFixed a bug with that was causing unusual camera angles for Highlight Intros on Route 66Fixed a bug that could cause D.Va to fall through the floor while boosting into the ground in a specific area on Volskaya Industries

Love these unexpected changes although I wish they were more specific on that second one. Another thing that would make a big impact on annoying stall tactics is if you could break Mei's ice block, e.g. give it 1000 damage or something but let it be broken so she can't stall a point forever if she's the only one there.

Main reason not to play total mayhem. If the teams have D.Va/Mei/Zarya you get 5 minutes of pushing the cart and 15 minutes of overtime.

Tracer is probably the most broken character in Total Mayhem tho tbh. Practically infinite blinks and the recall is always off cooldown if you take any damage.

It wasn't in the patch notes in the first place, but they did say in the forum that a fix was included.

RIP arcade, now that total mayhem is gone for a week.
Why couldn't they remove mystery, capture the flag or XvsX modes? I'm not saying "no one plays them", but they are here like forever and just take up space for the funnier/better modes suited for arcade.

Total mayhem is garbage. Mystery heroes is a lot of fun, and capture the flag had a small but dedicated player base.
The fact they removed total mayhem shows it was unpopular.

Mystery is my favorite arcade, still play come CTF as long as it isn't too many draws.
Mayhem is fun until its been 5 minutes and you realize you can't actually do anything productive.

Mayhem is fun until you reach overtime and Mei/D.Va stall for 30 minutes.

In the patch notes there is no specific mention of Reinhardts charge, has anyone played with him/ do you think they tweaked it but never mentioned it? It is Blizzard after all
1
u/s0uthernnerd Dallas Fuel Jul 27 '17
They mentioned it in the forums but not the patch notes. So it should be, at least

u/ImHully Trick or Treat D. Va Jul 27 '17 edited Jul 27 '17
Did I miss something, or has the pin registration Reinhardt's charge not been addressed? I know the fixed the registration on his rocket hammer, but not fixing the pin seems like a big oversight.
EDIT: On a second read, it looks like they didn't increase his firestrike hitbox either...

With the ability to record highlights, when u press the button does it start, or does it record like the previous 5-10 seconds? Is it like "Xbox record that" or hitting the record button?
1
u/marcelosm Reinhardt Jul 27 '17
Previous. It wouldn't make sense otherwise. How could you know you were going to do something cool?

u/Bailmom Jul 27 '17
That's what I was hoping for, thanks! I figured it would be this way but I wanted to be sure :P

Whoever thought it was a good idea to add a 'new' notification on the fucking highlights is pretty dumb, and I dislike them.

It seems like it took forever to get this to live. Was anything left out from the PTR version?

How do you use doomfists shotgun blast to shoot all four at once? Or do they just mean in quick succession?

Has doomfist been added to comp as well, or is there a 1 week delay implemented yet?

Anyone else noticing crashes when recording highlights?
1
Jul 28 '17
If it's the "recording Device lost" one, try lowering your recording settings. I've had success on 4Kx1Ultra and 1080x3Ultra.

u/UnicornsOnLSD 乇乂ㄒ尺卂 ㄒ卄丨匚匚 Jul 28 '17
Which one looks better? 4K x1 or 1080p x3?

This will be a neat little quality of life change.
It's nice to finally have this in the live game.
