Mercy starts healing after 1 second of not taking damage. It was 3 seconds before buff.
Oh great, this won't buff pharmercy at all

No, I mean this is how it is right now.
They changed it when they gave her invincibility during rez.
A few months before that, even.
I think the biggest flaw with Mercy is that Rez is still the most unintuitive ult to get value out of in the game.
low level: 4-5 man rez and instant victory
high level: 4-5 man rez and it's just a rewipe
It's a pretty bad sign when the worst way to use the ult at high level is this absolutely soul crushing thing to deal with at all levels but some of the highest. It's also a bad sign when a non interactive playstyle becomes dominate in general. Rez has honestly been problematic since beta, don't know why it has survived this long.

I feel like when they gave her invincibility during rez is when all the 'go hide and wait for team to die' bullshit started.
That's been a thing since literally beta.

Top Korea team LW Blue is set to be picked up for the NYC Overwatch League spot.
http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_...et-take-nyc-overwatch-league-slot-sources-say
Important Note - They will be missing top 2 DPS player in the world Flow3r as he is too young to participate in OWL season 1.
Really exciting news regardless!

Well, it was easily punishable before the buff at least.
No, it actually wasn't. Kinda. People forget what Mercy was back in the day aka a year ago.
The invuln buff is p big but it doesn't actually make rez that much better than before. The fact is a lot of people could've been doing the same shit they're doing with Mercy now pre invuln buff. The main thing that buff did was put rez back in the spotlight at a time where people were learning more about the systems. It also just makes it feel a lot better than it actually is.

Yeah you're prolly right, I just remember killing mercy quite a bit during her rez line and shutting it down. Which can't be done now.
A character can be ass and still ruin the game in multiple different ways for different people
She ruins my games by being on my team for instance. She also can be really obnoxious to fight against and the Mercy mirror is terribly not fun in any way.
Keyboard and mouse, the worst.
Well, had a terrible day in comp and went 1-5-1, my only win coming from a solo q game. Another 100 SR lost and now I'm not far off where I started this season after being placed. Tired of queuing in stacks and being derailed by the randoms.
I've now lost around 300 SR from where I was three weeks ago. All about that steady decline before season end. It's going to take some serious carrying and luck to even gain some of that back. FML

Game on Hanamura on defense, the other team starts saying they have a thrower and to report him (he was Torb), first round won easily on the first point.
Second round, we have winston, genji, hanzo, mccree, mercy and zen, I ask my team if they're confident in our comp since we don't really have a lot to protect from the turrets, no one replies, I tell them to take it seriously anyway. Guess what? No one but Winston can go through the gate since they're running orisa, torb, junkrat and symmetra. At 30 seconds left I swap to doomfist and clear the point after hanzo kills 2 with a dragon, we get the point and win.
No matter how much you're throwing, someone else is throwing harder than you.

Is that two all Korean teams in the league now?

I do this whenever I get the chance.
I also like to pin her.
Edit:
This dude was on point:
Wonder if he leaked something else after this.

Yes, and at the least I expect Kongdoo Panthera to get picked up as well if this is a thing that's going to be happening.
All of this is outside of the likely numerous Korean players that will get picked up too.

This game is so ducking goood. I have a huge backlog, including Uncharted 4 and Horizon ZD and I can't help but throw on a podcast and jump into QP for like an hour.
When I first started, I would main effin Bastion. I liked him because of turret mode and the fact he could heal himself whenever. Now I've moved on to Roadhog because his shotgun wrecks people and he has such high health and can heal himself. People on here gave me the advice of trying to get good with one hero in every class so I'm also good with soldier and reaper, Lucia and zen. I got a super dope skin for genuine so I want to try to get better with him and today I was dabbling with Sombra and Orissa and had tons of fun.
Anyone hear anything an about Xbox One X patch yet?

I love when GM players shit on me for picking Torbjorn. He's stupidly good on some choke points, and he's almost as good of a tankbuster as Reaper, I basically kept their D.va and Winston constantly unable to dive in for fear of turret fire or getting obliterated by me at point blank.

Performance gains are being adjusted for season 6! Finally!

Also apparently people in Diamond and below can drop to lower skill tiers now. It's a little more complicated than that though so I recommend you click the link.

Micro Missile Stats:
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20758736655#post-5
I still need to see how fast they actually fly to know how much use they'll be and how spread out the barrage is.
But I like that we have a bunch of missiles. I was expecting like 4 or something, but we basically have a mini-pharah ult here, that's awesome.
Edit: Oh, if D.Va gets damaged by her own explosions, that's bullshit.
Just remove self damage as a feature already, goddammit.
Edit 2:
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20758736655?page=4#post-71
So they're slightly faster than Pharah's rockets. Wow, I can't wait to see this in action.
Edit 3: Ah, weaknesses exposed
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20758736655?page=5#post-84
I guess I don't mind the commitment needed to use them. They're gonna be pretty powerful, from the stats shown here.
Self damage is stupid and lame.

What the fuck? Does this mean that they match based on tier and not the actual skill rating?
They should borrow from Tekken and put a DEMOTION MATCH notification on people about to be dropped lol
Nuno Pinto

Not sure I understand.
Are they just talking about losing the icon? Or people not dropping below 2500, 3000, etc until the game decides that they shouldnt be on that skill bracket?
THe_DeiCiDe

I still want varied SR gains/drops if your team was a heavy favorite/underdog.
Ie: your team has a 250SR disadvantage and you win, you get bonus SR while the losing team would lose extra SR.

I think it's just the icon. I.E. if you make it to Platinum, then fall below 2500 and stay below it for 5 matches, your icon will switch back to Gold until you hit 2500 again. But it won't change if your last match was a win.
Nuno Pinto

Yeah, it's so inconsistent.
That makes more sense.
I was wondering if they were talking about the hidden skill rating or something like that.

A character can be ass and still ruin the game in multiple different ways for different people
She ruins my games by being on my team for instance. She also can be really obnoxious to fight against and the Mercy mirror is terribly not fun in any way.
I've lost count the amount of times I've killed Mercy first in the match deciding fight and yet I absolutely despise her character design. It's infuriating for you to lose a game because your Mercy just doesn't understand what to do if they cant hide for res and I feel bad for the enemy team for losing a game because they cant realistically defend their Mercy. Imagine if that was a Lucio/Zen who could've ulted to save themselves or an Ana who could've slept me. It's not fun to completely babysit a character.
And it's absolutely no fun to go on a hide and seek mission to possibly find the Mercy whilst your team is engaging a 5v5 which they will probably lose if you cant find this obscure place near spawn.

Next season I'm about 90% sure I'm shifting to an Offense/Defense main. Getting real tired of getting forced to tank in situations where we have shitty Heals or Offense players simply because of how many hours I have on Rein and Winston.
Guess I won't be staying in diamond anymore
Makes sense they're doing that imo. See no reason for players to keep their diamond logo when I've been playing with them since 2500 (they dropped to 25 as well).
It's gonna be a ride bouncing back between plat and diamond tho. Usually stay in high plat / low diamond the entire season.
