Alright nerds heres this seasons worth of data if anyone is curious. I dont think ill be extending it much more (could divide up rat vs not rat win rate per map type) but it barley fits in one nice screenshot now and it doesnt matter too much. Blizzard needs to up their stat game
Strange trend in OW on EU/NA. Looking at win rates for GM+ and you'll see projectile at the top and hitscan at the bottom but the top500 board tells another story. Roughly 80% of top500 is hitscan. I only mention this because blizzard really likes to balance on win rates.
Well my old ass (over 40) finally did it. Hit champion in 5v5, solo as junkrat. My only regret is that my win rate was so high that I'm giving blizzard reasons to get him nerfed. Thanks for everyone stopping by on stream and giving me support.
Solid patch all around but the real victory is seeing ban rates. It's me so i gotta complain a little bit. https://t.co/HfCWWhaXNW has a 70% ban rate in all regions but they hardly lowered her burst but I'm more worried they'll start changing everything but the real problem (dm)
Today's overwatch is what i love to see. Disagree with the changes, thats fine but lets start making more significant changes and then walking things back instead of waiting a year to do some minor changes to perks. I know balance is content to OW but this shit needs changes
Holy shit, mercy mains and support players wouldn't last a minute as a junkrat player. They probably can't even tell the 10% difference and are just upset at the patch notes.
Not sure what to think of the season 2 patch. Its pretty much shit and nothing is going to change. They didnt balance last season so 6 months before anything happens? Rat perks are... lacking and they nerfed him in stadium. We need more meaningful changes to base kits
These are the times where i wish blizzard would patch something but for whatever reason they wont. I'm not sure why they stick so hard to the rules they've created themselves. Guess we're stuck in this state until the next season
Its patches like this that make me upset at live service games. Every company treats balance as content so nothing goes into fixing the game. Instead they stall changes until next season while we play unbalanced shit. All of this to artificially spike player counts for corpo
No changes to ashe, minor changes to vendetta and no changes for rat. I think this might be the worst season for rat since s9. God speed to all the rat enjoyers out there.
Watched alot of dev talks today and all of them react the same way with junkrat. Karq asked alec and leo (perk dev) and both nodded that rat is shit with flyers/hypermobility but gave no solution. Either they have something big for him or we're screwed for another year.
So they took all of the "annoying" and non-meta heroes, threw them in the specialist subrole and gave them a shit passive. Can't wait to reload faster after a kill while hit scan get abilities back faster, mobile heroes get wall hacks and flankers full heal off of healthpacks.
Junkrat's primary feels very strange. I assume they changed how gravity is applied but his shots feel heavy and you have to aim a little higher than usual. His perk was semi-nerfed since change gave him a significant arc compared to before so his range has been semi reduced
