Seems like McSkill and Widow changes might come as early as this week.

By Moris Go To PostMcRee and Widow nerfs were announced.
McCree
*Peacekeeper - Alternate fire
-Recovery time (i.e. the amount of time before McCree starts reloading) decreased from 0.75 seconds to 0.3 seconds
-Bullet damage decreased from 70 to 45
WidowMaker
*Widow’s Kiss - Alternate fire (Scoped Shot)
- Base damage decreased from 15 to 12
Note: Scoped shot damage multiplier remains unchanged
- Headshot damage multiplier increased from 2x to 2.5x
- Players must now wait for the unscoping animation to completely finish before scoping
*Infra-Sight (Ult)
- Ultimate charge cost increased by 10%
Seems like they want people to play the mid-range game with McCree more.
Dunno how I feel about Widow having to take extra shots on turrets, especially when they can do damage at long ranges.
McCree shouldn't be that effective against turrets anyway. Dude was better than everyone at their own job.

I worded that improperly. I meant as Widow. I don't play her often, so that might not be the case.
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostI worded that improperly. I meant as Widow. I don't play her often, so that might not be the case.oh i thought it was a follow up to having to play midrange as mccree
yea would be weird if widow wasnt able to counter turrets effectively, but i guess that forces people to get behind the reinhardt instead of soloing
I don't see how this change makes her less effective against turrets. It just makes it so that she's not dropping certain heroes with one or two body shots anymore.
The big thing here is the removal of quick scope, but that's more of a high level cap than something that effects the majority of user's play
This change won't change much for her. Just sort of brings her in line to where the devs want her to be design wise. I don't think they wanted Zenyatta dying to one hit in the foot or competitive players bunny hopping and quick scoping around the map with her

The lowered damage on body shots may make her take an additional shot to finish off a low-level turret, I think. I don't know for sure.
By Moris Go To PostI need a Hanzo buff please, all my teammates hate me.unless they made Hanzo as OP as McCree then your teammates are still gonna hate you lol
nothing worse than someone that refuses to change characters. at least mccree mains were tolerable since he countered everything on the map
By Moris Go To PostI need a Hanzo buff please, all my teammates hate me.
Bah, Hanze is already ez mode. No buffs needed. Maybe even decrease his ult gain.
By Lupercal Go To PostAnyone playing in an hour or so ?No, sorry. Actually working. :(
By data Go To Postguys its ok to commend a non-tank/healerDid they pull off a solo sextuple kill? If not, then no commend. Sorry.
really
Had some great games last night, had a team of friends and one random but he was a great Mercy so that was Allright. Matched up against a team of swedes. About 9 super close games, US winning 6 and them 3.
We would've lost more but those double Reinhardt plays are to good. Especially on Anubis on attack.

By Kibner Go To PostDid they pull off a solo sextuple kill? If not, then no commend. Sorry.I carry so hard with Pharah that dudes on the other team say it
Been close to pulling the trigger on this every day for like a week now. Just can't get myself over the edge

so its a buff then for all real talk Widowmakers with skill
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postso its a buff then for all real talk Widowmakers with skill
Nah. Headshots do the same amount of damage as before. That was only increased due to the damage nerf.
A good Widow still wrecks but it's easier to spot the frauds now and heckle them to switch to a character they don't suck with.
fucking hell
so how does hanzo compare to widowmaker in terms of max damage body shots now? might as well go with him fuck it
edit: found answer
ehhhh perfectly balanced fml

Amazingly, snipers are supposed to headshot.
Blizzard's 'everybody's a winner!' playstyle for snipers put on blast by the community

Yup, now to tone down Hanzo's autoaim/ult gain and we all good.
Roadhog needs to be able to hook Mercy
I don't mean the enemy team Mercy. I mean MY Mercy so they stop ditching me in the middle of a push to heal Gneji's scraped knee

By pilonv1 Go To PostI caved :(Check the OP, bruh
girisissssss give me your battletag
I've been playing on PS4 (review copy, I would have gone PC given a choice), and I've really been enjoying it. I think turrets are the most annoying thing ever and you should feel bad if you main a turret character. I don't think they're broken, they're just super annoying to play against.
My PSN id is jar155. I usually hop on for an hour or so at night, but times are kind of random. I'm thinking of picking it up on Steam to get the most out of the game, and my Steam is is also jar155.
I've been playing a lot of Mercy, Pharra, Roadhog, and Widowmaker. I haven't branched too far out from there aside from some of the more simple players. I'll be looking to diversify a bit more now that I'm understanding match ups better.
Oh, and hero stackers are scum.

You can't get it on Steam, unfortunately. Only through Battle.Net. I'll add your PSN tag to the OP, though.
By Kibner Go To PostYou can't get it on Steam, unfortunately. Only through Battle.Net. I'll add your PSN tag to the OP, though.Ah, right. Well, my Battle.net name is also jar155.
By Jeff-DSA Go To PostAh, right. Well, my Battle.net name is also jar155.Cool. Got both your tags. :)
e: derp, I forgot to say I need the number that comes after jar155 for your battle.net tag
e2: You will be happy to know that once you reach a high-enough skill level on PC, turret heroes are relatively rare. They get replaced by ace Widowmakers, though.

I'll probably have it on PC by next week. I want to squeeze a bit more out of the PS4 version, because I won't go back as often once I move over. Bummer unlocks don't sync. Ah well.

James Bond forever spoiled me on golden guns. If they're not one shotting, I couldn't care less. They always look tacky af (in real life too).
Even though...a gold staff for mercy would be pretty dope... >.>
Just had a play of the game with Genji where I sliced a couple of dudes and deflected 76 to death. What a start to my Overwatch career. 😎
I wish Zenyatta was better in a solo healing environment. He's definitely my favorite support to play.
Needs a dash or some shit too.

By data Go To PostSometimes I think I'm too good with pharah
I try to play other characters and I struggle like crazy
I started playing Pharra. She's a lot of fun to play. It's hilarious on Ilios or other maps with edges when you blast people off the map.
