Sometimes they don’t even properly despawn if they hit something, and not in a custom game, in just regular play. Read more

And this is why the PTR is a thing. Read more

Interesting, I wonder if this means other characters may get a choice of Ultimates in future patches. Would certainly add an interesting layer of strategy. Read more

New Photon Barrier sounds like it may give her functionality as a choke buster, which would be so nice. Can’t wait to try these changes. Read more

Hmm... Not sure how I feel about the moving shield, it might do really well at higher levels but at the lower ranks it’s hard enough to get people to stand behind RH’s giant wall. I’m game to see it in action though. The lower turret time is nice as well as the slightly longer gun range. The team shield ult will be Read more

Kidding: this game looks dope too. Read more

They’ve been trying a bunch of radical changes so this might not stick or it might be slightly altered to fit better in the current game. It is cool to feel faster in the skies. Read more

Believe the new QP with a hero limit goes live this week, so be thankful for that.

I can’t wait for 3 weeks of games with 90% people playing at Sombra Read more

I imagine this has a lot to do with their attempt to turn Overwatch into a full actual professional sport rather than the - often-times - hilarious thing that PotG makes it into. Read more

It would nice if PotG acknowledged me when I used Zenyatta’s ult to save my team from a wipe while we were all trapped by Zarya’s Graviton Surge. Read more
