HERO UPDATES

 

D.Va

 

Micro Missiles (New Ability) - D.Va fires a barrage of small rockets that detonate on impact, dealing damage in a limited radius around each explosion. These can be fired while D.Va is using any other ability or firing her Fusion Cannons

 

Defense Matrix - Defense Matrix's resource meter will now deplete twice as quickly

 

Boosters - Fusion Cannons can now be fired while flying

 

Developer Comments: D.Va’s Defense Matrix uptime has proven to be too strong, but simply reducing it without making other changes would make her too weak (and far less interesting to play). Instead, we’re adding a new ability, and giving her the ability to fire while flying. These changes give D.Va a lot of new options while maintaining Defense Matrix’s ability to shut down big enemy attacks.

 

Mercy

 

Resurrect (formerly Mercy’s Ultimate ability)

 

Ability now targets a single player, instead of every player within a radius

Radius reduced to 5 meters

Ability cooldown is 30 seconds

Mercy is no longer granted invulnerability while Resurrect is active

 

Valkyrie (New Ultimate Ability)Valkyrie unleashes the full power of Mercy’s Valkyrie Suit, enhancing her weapons and abilities for 20 seconds:

 

Caduceus Staff: Mercy’s healing and damage boost beams now affect all allies near the targeted teammate, and the staff’s effective range has been extended

Caduceus Blaster: Granted infinite ammo, while simultaneously increasing damage and fire rate

Guardian Angel: Increased range and movement speed

Resurrect: Cooldown is instantly reset when Valkyrie is activated and reduced to 10s after the initial cast

Hover: Mercy gains the ability to fly freely, at increased movement speed

Regeneration (Passive): No longer interrupted when Mercy takes damage

Developer Comments: While resurrecting downed allies is a core part of Mercy’s gameplay, the way her Ultimate functioned was causing a number of problems. It was frustrating to play against, and it incentivized Mercy players to hide away from important battles, instead of taking part in them. This version turns Resurrect into a single target ability. It’s still an important part of Mercy’s kit, but plays much better for both Mercy players and her enemies. Valkyrie, her new Ultimate, gives her the opportunity to make big game-making plays and opens a number of new options for her.

 

Reinhardt

Barrier Field- Holding primary fire while your shield is active now allows you to rotate the camera

 

Developer Comments: This change gives Reinhardt more situational awareness while using his shield, allowing him to keep an eye on the battlefield while still protecting his team.

Was just about to post that ^ Here's the dev video anyway

 

 

I like the Mercy changes - if timed correctly, you can rez more effectively and be a serious problem for the enemy team with Ana's boost etc. I always thought it was cheap to undo a team wipe with the old alt, so I hope it doesn't return.

 

Anxious about the D.va changes though

 

And while I'm here, Cancer Mei got an animated short:

Yep, and playing Rein should be more enjoyable now.

Overwatch Uprising Event Returns

[Doli]

I wonder if they are going to add a new story because the Uprising video has a glitch at 0:13. I might reinstall the game and give it a try.

 

Mashed put up a video about the secret history of Overwatch. Not real but a better job than Blizzard.
