    Not sure about Junkertown but hero changes should be live

    No mention of Junkertown in the patch notes.

    Team deathmatch, Château Guillard DM map, hero changes, and player report features as My name is URL mentioned.

    I can't wait. I'll get to that upper behind window while attacking King's Row in no time.

    I'm excited by how excited that specific thing makes you. You're like the dad from Fairly Odd Parents :pac:

    The era of the flying, flanking Junkrat is upon us.

    I get mad wreckage up there, but it can be a pain.

    Now there will be less pain. For me.

    Junkrat feels even better now. Riptyre's jump is ridiculous.

    Roadhog is really hard to kill now. Paired up with a mercy and it took most of the enemy focusing on me to bring me down. Still hard to actually kill anyone though. Hook cool down reduced to 6 and he might be pretty useful again.

    My first game of Deathmatch. I think I'm going to like it.

    FFA won my first one with Zen of all characters and the next one with Sombra (her passive makes her perfect for kill sniping). Played my third just dicking about with Sym but a Pharah main completely wiped the floor with everyone AND only joined half way through so I imagine once the novelty settles down it's going to get a bit stale with the chars you can expect. Roadhogs move and heal change is pretty nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,453 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    From the patch notes:
    Fixed a bug causing Sombra’s teeth to be visible while her Stealth ability was active when her Los Muertos skin was equipped

    That would be a great Halloween Skin/Cheshire Cat skin.

    Anyone seen this? Jeff laying down the law on a troll who was averaging 4 reports a day since launch

    Lol, it's kinda cool when someone so high up takes his time to muck about on the forums.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭Digital Solitude


    Junkertown is on the PTR too

    As plenty of others have said, it's absurd that all 2000 reports gets you is a week long ban from QP.

    Get like even 50 verified reports and it should be game over, siya.

    Where are you getting the week long ban from?

    Okay right yeah but all I'm seeing is Kaplan's own words, "The account has also been silenced for a total of 9216 hours", that's a little more than 1 week.

    Sooooooo, we have no idea how many reports it took for this account to be banned.

    Does silenced not just mean banned from using voice/text chat?

    So he has a comms ban of a year and a week ban from actually playing. That seems a bit off.

    There's more than 1 account here so the figures can't be dissected so easily and used as arguments for the success or failure of the actions taken by Blizzard, it could also be over a large timeframe.

    I suppose if its numerous accounts then that would explain it.

    He's been banned from Comms from nearly the very start of Overwatch for abusive language.
