Probably because since niche heroes have one thing they are really good at and lack in everything else, just straight up buffs would make them TOO good at their niche. Like how Junkrat was always good at short-range high damage, but his buffs made him too versatile and oppressive.Take Reaper for example. If you simply buff his wraith form, or his teleport, it might enable him to be an EVEN BETTER tank buster.Frankly, most of the defense heroes are poorly designed (as even if they are good at their niche every single game won't be constantly the situation for them to be useful, unlike most oth…

Is this on live or on the PTR?

They made an entire menu for the skins, I doubt it will be like events. Even if it is, it will last many months, not a few weeks.Also the money is to support the OWL. Events are to fuel the dev team. It's not like it's 100% greedy and scummy, just a little bit.

And how do you know they aren't working on a rework for Sym right now? Just because Hanzo is getting one doesn't mean Sym isn't.

(the previous maps only took about 1 month for them to be ready)...There are probably a ton of underlying bugs with the map, or maybe they are working on optimization, or maybe textures. The maps are releasing on a schedule. Oasis was the same way last year. Shown at Blizzcon, not available until January. It's not the OWL causing this.

01/07/2018 05:14 AMPosted by GenjiIsCool7- NEW ABILITY: CLENSEMercy casts a wave of protective aura which grants allies temporary immunity to any attribute-impairing abilities.- What qualifies as "attribute-impairing": Hack, Biotic Grenade, Freeze, Sleep, Discord Orb, the slow effect of Sentry Turrets. Basically, anything that grants a debuff or grants a slow or stun that isn't immediate.- Cleanse lasts 4 seconds.- Cool down is 15 seconds.- Range is 7 meters in Mercy's line of sight (a little further than a Rein swing).- When cast, Cleanse will undo the effects of the abilities mentioned above…

Pushing Q, or flying around being nearly invincible while keeping your entire team alive with an on demand resurrect even while not ulting?one of those sounds more fun and it's not mass rez.From the point of view of the Mercy player, there is no action there. You don't have to worry about keeping yourself alive, you don't have to prioritze healing, you don't have to even bother about positioning, as long as you are high, you are safe.Don't get…

Post this in the PTR Bug Report forum, they probably won't see it here.

12/18/2017 02:04 PMPosted by OverjoyedSo literally you want a revert then you want them to make changes from there. Got it.If you want to get super annoyingly technical about it, sure.But if they give her a whole new e ability and change the way mass rez works, it won't just be a revert.
