Yeah it's Blizzard so there was never any danger of that :P

How'd everyone do for season 3? I think my high was 3440something but I finished at 2932. Rough, my goal for next season is to stay consistently in diamond :(

... I got Lucio's Cute spray on complete accident last night. In other news, did you know it's entirely possible to shield everyone in radius of it from D.Va's self destruct as him and no one dies? It completely wipes out the extra shields but... XD

New character hype! Orisa is so freaking cute. I never knew I needed a robocentaur in my life until today.

I'm pretty hyped! Cute design and I love that her ult (if I'm understanding it right?) is like a war drum version of Lucio.

Wait, they released a new character? I'm going to have to check out that video after work...

Yes! Her name is Orisa and she's another Omnic. <3 Basically a centaur.

Yes I just watched the video! I have heard rumors about a new character but didn't realize they announced her today. I'm looking forward to her debut :)

I'm so excited for a new tank to learn.

Bastion's been INFURIATING me since the patch. I got annihilated by him earlier as he was in tank mode, self healing and firing all at once. x_x;

Bastion is so horrible right now. I feel like they buffed him to help break up the tank meta that was going on in comp, which is fine but why they thought giving such a low tier character that power idk. He's not even a fun character to play against, last night I had to run Ana and my job that whole game was to constantly sleep and jar the enemy Bastion so Roadhog could hook him in for a kill

I wouldn't mind the changes if they just took away his ironclad ability

Also everyone doing their placement matches good luck!

I am so glad they're rolling back Bastion. My team did half our placement matches before anyone really knew how to utilize bastiion's buff then last night we went to finish them and every single match was insane. We've been playing together for almost a year now and no amount of coordinated attacks could dent him.

I saw Jeff said there were changes being pushed to the ptr this morning, but I didn't see what they were. Do you happen to know?

Yes me too! I rarely play as tanks so Orisa will be interesting.

Oh man I understand. I heard about the buff but didn't really realize it until tonight. I played Capture the Flag and the past few times I tried being offense, I sucked horribly so I used Bastion and played defense. Completely forgot he received a buff and wow. I got the play of the game is basically what I'm getting at.

If I have to be honest, Roadhog is still the one hero that pisses me off every time I die to him, lol. It frustrates me beyond belief when he hooks you from a distance and kills you with one shot (most of the time...depending on who you're playing as, of course.) Oh my gooosh it makes me livid lol.

Bastion's changes have hit the PTR, with Ironhide's passive resistance being reduced from 35% to 20%.

Friend took Dragonblade to Bastion last night in a match, got two swipes in and SHE died. Bastion was unharmed. I was playing Reinhardt and Bastion took me out in three seconds. Can you say OP af??

Yea, no doubt, that's crazy. Hopefully they re-balance Bastion. I rarely play as him but he's fun from time to time. I just don't enjoy using OP characters lol.

This is coming from a Hanzo main - Bastion is the most broken hero in Overwatch right now. Bar none.

Hey , tagging you because I notice you mention this as well.

I saw this article by Gamerant with Jeff stating plans to nerf Bastion. I just happened to notice this one first. Looks like the article states that with the update, Ironclad was reduced to 35% incoming damage, but they plan on changing that to 20%.

Yep, I know that. I saw it yesterday and then a series of games just... uhg.

It's a waiting game until that change implements xD I haven't had too many problems with Bastion as of late, to be honest. But I've been playing a lot of the Mystery Hero playlist so Bastion only sometimes makes an appearance lol.

I've gotten back into the game though. I've been playing it practically every night. I'm still only level 79 though bahaha.

I've had the unfortunate experience of dealing with campers playing Bastion. It's at the point on my region's server that spawncamping is a thing right now.

I just hit my 61st level at three star. XDD; I'm gonna be a 4 star soon at this rate. It's kinda baffling.
