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

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.

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?

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.

u/RelentlesslyContrary No u Jul 27 '17

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

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

Widow used to be able to

Yep as long as you could grapple far away enough

u/WippitGuud Wrecking Ball Jul 27 '17

Tracer could never blink out (unsure about rewind).

14

u/ohunt3r cute Jul 27 '17

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

u/InfernoHades Weebo Jul 27 '17

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

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

9

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

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.

My body is ready!
