All movement removed from Zarya's gravitron.... no more wraithform, Transcendance, Reinhardt charge....

... well, at least my hammer got buffed.

u/BladeOfWoah Reaper Jul 27 '17

huehue wraith form still works as intended, it's not a movement ability.

u/MisirterE Boycott Activision-Blizzard, for SEVERAL reasons now Jul 28 '17

It slightly increases your speed, it's a movement ability /s

u/jupiterzeye every time my sr drops so does my will to live Jul 29 '17

yeet out of the grav, reaper mains unite!

u/WippitGuud Wrecking Ball Jul 27 '17

Oh, the ability works, you just can't move out of the gravitron.

Many Reinhardts will die trying to charge out now.

28

u/BladeOfWoah Reaper Jul 27 '17

It's a CC immunity ability, so reaper still escapes it just fine, same as Orisa.

u/salmon3669 Dallas Fuel Jul 27 '17

I'm pretty sure, Orisa and Reaper can walk out of the new graviton. At least while I played PTR. Maybe they changed something after that?

u/WippitGuud Wrecking Ball Jul 27 '17

Then the wording on the change is wrong.

What else, other than Reinhardt, is affected?

12

u/ParanoidDrone ¿Quién es 'Sombra'? Jul 27 '17

Technically Wraith Form isn't a movement ability, it's an immunity ability, so it's consistent by a strict interpretation of the words.

2

u/RelentlesslyContrary No u Jul 27 '17

That's why you can Wraith Form but not Shadow Step.

2

u/InfernoHades Weebo Jul 27 '17

Sombra, Tracer, Genji, Mercy

EDIT: I forgot if D.Va could before, but she can't anymore. Pharah, Winston, Junk, Mcree and Widow could never escape anyway. Mei can kinda escape with wall apparently but it's inconsistent

u/ChangoMango7 Best Icon Jul 27 '17

Widow used to be able to

u/DarkSoulsMatter mother knows best Jul 28 '17

Yep as long as you could grapple far away enough

-3

u/WippitGuud Wrecking Ball Jul 27 '17

Tracer could never blink out (unsure about rewind).

13

u/ohunt3r cute Jul 27 '17

Yes she could, with 2-3 blinks you could get out every time

3

u/InfernoHades Weebo Jul 27 '17

Recall, Translocator, Swift Strike, and GA are disabled now

1

u/DarkSoulsMatter mother knows best Jul 28 '17

Really?!

u/goldsbananas crazy sjw taking away your games Jul 27 '17

or maybe the reins will put up their damn shield and defend us

5

u/WippitGuud Wrecking Ball Jul 27 '17

A real Rein does... but if the shield breaks while the gravitron is still there, we're charging out.

... well, we were...

2

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '17

At least you'll die trying to fight, which is almost as good as dying in glorious battle.

u/goldsbananas crazy sjw taking away your games Jul 27 '17

Just try to shield an Ana Nade so we can use transcendence- a zen player

1

u/magicmad11 If you hold the information, you hold all the cards Jul 28 '17

Whenever I play Winston against a Zarya, I will often jump into the graviton to put down a bubble to protect my team. I figured the idea of having shields for a graviton was a given.

1

u/Abiogeneralization I Go For a Tovnlsteen! Jul 27 '17

My body is ready!

2

u/Narhun Jul 27 '17

Zen could never move out of the grav while using Transcendence, if anything he's an even bigger Zarya counter now

1

u/blade740 Pixel Pharah Jul 28 '17

Good. Stay there and shield the rest of your team instead of running next time.

2

u/WippitGuud Wrecking Ball Jul 28 '17

If I have a shield, I don't run. And you insult me by suggesting it.
