SEASON 3 COMPETITIVE PLAY Competitive Play's second season will end on November 23 at 4PM PDT (November 24 at 0:00 UTC), and the third season will begin on November 30 at 4PM PDT (December 1 at 0:00 UTC). During the week-long off season, you'll still be able to queue for matches using the Competitive Play ruleset, but your skill rating will not be affected and no Competitive Points will be awarded. We've also made a few adjustments to the skill rating system for season 3. Players will be distributed more broadly across the skill tiers, which means that your season 3 rating will probably be lower than the previous sea
Damage decreased from 80 to 60
_Developer Comments: Ana’s kit has several strong components, which makes her difficult to replace. Reducing her damage output will make her less threatening on attack and reduce her dueling capabilities. _ Bas
Fixed a bug that occasionally produced incorrectly colored health bars when spectating Custom Games
And that's it. A new trailer was also released to celebrate Sombra's launch -- you can check it out be
_Developer Comments: Zenyatta’s alternate fire often felt too difficult to use due to its long recovery time. This reduction should make it a more viable option. Also, his weapon has always had a very small amount of spread. This wasn’t enough to change the way he was played, but it would occasionally cause shots to miss that would normally hit their target. Removing this small variance should help him feel more consistent. _ ** BUG FIXES ** Gen
I'm still questing away in the northern-most province of Tamriel but there is a lot to look forward to this month. With Batman: Arkham City and Saints Row: The Third finally completed, I'm looking forward to Syndicate and SSX . I'm also considering picking up Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition since I missed out on the fighter last year. Outside of that, I still need to finish the last two Assassin's Creed titles before I fall too far behind. I'm also still on the fence on whether or not I'll be purchasing a Vita - I want it, but I'm not sure I have the time to enjoy
October was for Dark Souls and November is for Skyrim . There is so much I know I am going to have to play this month, from Uncharted 3 to Super Mario 3D Land to the final release of Minecraft , but it's all about the Elder Scrolls for the majority of the month. This might be the busiest November of gaming in my lifetime, and I am totally, 100% not prepared for it. Regardless, bring it
Ability cooldown now starts when the barrier is placed, instead of when it ends
_Developer Comments: This change should help Winston do what he does best: distract the enemy team and block damage. _ Z
There's a lot of talk of the PS Vita and while it's a impressive device, gamers should know that this is the time to capitalize on previous generation titles they may have missed. You can find quality titles super cheap. I was able to acquire Tatics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together for PSP for under $10. This title is highly recommended for fans Final Fantasy Tactics since it's from the same develop
We want more heroes! Just please, please not another string-along ARG event like Sombra's release. The months and months of anticipation really killed the hype. But there is still hype! There are some heroes fans have been hyped about since the first Cinematic Trailer was released for Overwatch . In this particular trailer we get nods to heroes named Soundquake and Fusionator. In the center of all the action is Doomfist's gauntlet. And at the end we get a still image of some of our favorite founding members of Overwatch alongside some unknown faces. Some of these early hero concepts have been discarded, merged with other ideas to make heroes like Mei and Zarya, and some, we hope, are still in development. It's this mystery that feeds the hype. We've only heard about founding Overwatch team member Liao , and seen some secondary characters like Mirembe in more than one digital sh
_2016 has come to a close and while the new year ahead has plenty of games for us to look forward to, the beginning of the year is also the perfect time to reflect on the games that made the previous year so exceptional, with 2016 being no exceptiona
Bundle up for a journey to Ecopoint: Antarctica, the former Overwatch installation where climatologist Mei-Ling Zhou was once stationed. While researching severe weather anomalies in the region, the station was hit by an intense polar storm. Running out of options and low on supplies, the team decided to cryogenically freeze themselves until the storm passed. They believed that it would only be for a few months, but Mei awoke nearly a decade la
My game plan for November is to play some World of Warcraft — a FPS game tournaments that I haven't played since it originally launched. My friend convinced me to give it another try and I found a good deal on some time cards and expansions, so I figured it was worth another go. There are way too many freaking great games coming out, and I know I'm not going to have time for them all... My Games: Super Mario 3D Land , Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary , WWE 12 , and Modern Warfare
