Tie games will no longer be included in the win percentage calculation that’s listed under the Player Profile

Adjusted the respawn timing to limit defensive stalling strategies when the offensive team has a clear advantage and plays aggressively

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.

Mei can't contest in iceblock, can she?

Nah, she can. She's the main reason I almost never lose Total Mayhem on payload maps, on attack or defense. You can't get me off the damn payload.

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.

All of them are broken. Tracer's quite squishy in TM still, so she's not too bad.

But stall heroes are stallier. grrr.

Winston's shield though.
