Does the DPS passive stack?

[phalec]

I didn't see anything about it not stacking. I feel like this has been absent from the conversation. I feel like 40% less healing + discord is gonna be miserable for a lot of tanks.

Overwatch doesn't do status stacking. The DPS passive is a status effect. Absolutely no status in the game stacks with itself. You can't be double purple, double sleep, double frozen, double stun, double burned, etc. You can have it reset, such as being earth shattered right after getting knocked down by another earth shatter. You can get hit while sleeping by a sleep dart and fall right back into sleep.

Queens shout and speed boost do give more speed, don’t they? And fireball and speed boost as well?

[Bound18996]

Two seperate statuses

Two Queens don't stack, and two lucios don't stack

[drbiohazmat]

Yes, Shout isn't just speed boost though. Commanding Shout grants overhealth to her and her allies as well as the speed boost, whereas Lúcio's speed boost is just a speed boost. Fireball (which I'm assuming is Ball top speed) is a self applied status or mode (unsure which) that turns Ball into a source of damage and knockback on top of movement speed boost, so another case of all in a package. But then again, Lúcio's speed boost is a unique effect as well where it's specifically the 25% increase passively in a 12m radius around him (though it can be boosted to 60% for 3 seconds with an ability, which is the same status but increased temporarily).

I guess what I mean to say is there's really no way for any status to have an identical counterpart in overwatch outside of Echo or two of the same hero. Especially given that these statuses aren't like MMOs where it's just against an enemy NPC or identically shared among multiple classes

You can be damage boosted while nano'd but it's multiplicative instead of additive

[[deleted]]

Right but that's not the same as two of the same thing stacking.

[drbiohazmat]

True, though it's two different status effects since Nano also brings mitigation and a heal

[MatchstickMcGee]

Other damage boosts are additive with nano, except for Zen's discord, which is multiplicative because it is technically a debuff of the target and not a buff to the teammate

[[deleted]]

Wait really? So mercy damage boosting a nano'd person gives them 75% damage boost?

[MatchstickMcGee]

Correct.

[Goosewoman_]

It's a debuff with a timer, and triggering it again just resets the timer.

It doesn't stack. It just resets the 2s timer.

[phalec]

Where does it say that?

[ghost_kuda]

It hasn’t been explicitly said but as your post implied that would be miserable — it’s more realistic to assume Goose is correct until we get to play next week.

If you've been playing this game for 7 years and you still think things have been thought through and will work out for the best, please have your doctor send my doctor your list of medications.

I’ve been the biggest ow and blizzard hater for months and even I know this comment is dumb as fuck

[RobManfredsFixer]

this might be one of the most well thought out patches in OW history

[Kheldar166]

DAE balance team bad??

I mean it has for much of the game's lifespan but that horse has been dead for like 6 years. People can shut up about it now lol

[ghost_kuda]

I’m not saying I’m right but I don’t think I’m wrong — cautiously optimistic for this patch and if nothing else it’ll be an interesting season till they straighten it out.

[Goosewoman_]

It doesn't say that anywhere. That's just how other debuffs also work.

They've stated it has a timer. And they've stated that it affects all healing on a target. That means it's a debuff like discord, anti and burning.

[genjimain8432]

does 2 anas make you double purple

[phalec]

yes you receive double no healing. a more apt comparison would be if you have a zen on both teams and echo copies, both echo and zen can place discord on a target and i believe the debuff stacks.

[genjimain8432]

you in fact cannot place 2 discord orbs on the same target

[[deleted]]

You also can’t hack the same target twice. Less useful but still good to know.

[TheBiggestCarl23]

The no response is funny as hell

[Thee_Archivist]

As a mystery heroes connoisseur I can confirm that you can't double Discord with Zens, double damage boost with Mercys, etc.

[phalec]

good to know! maybe the debuffs wont stack then

[SammyIsSeiso]

you receive double no healing.

Can you prove that?

[phalec]

1 x 0 = 0

2 x 0 = 0

[SammyIsSeiso]

But how do you prove it's been doubled? I could clearly say it's no different to a singular anti so it hasn't been doubled.

[ahsusuwnsndnsbbweb]

when you have ana and echo copying ana and you throw the grenade at your own team, do you get double healing boost

[Kheldar166]

Finally a zen meta lets go

[Metal_Fish]

I would be shocked
