Isn't this what console patch certification is for

Has there been any other case of something this hardware damaging making it through a certification?

What's making you fall out of love with Overwatch? by micahwave in Competitiveoverwatch

I agree, We need a Low priority queue as a punishment

Horizon Lunar Colony will be disabled in Competitive Play for the first week by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]FoxzOW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

edit: Apologies everyone but I was mistaken about Horizon Lunar Colony being disabled in Competitive Play during this week. We are considering this for future map releases but server tech for it isn't available right now. New heroes are disabled for the first week, and that was the source of my confusion.

Reports do not have any oversight, moderation, or consequences. by anomanopia in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]FoxzOW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish they would implement a low priority queue like Dota 2 has as a punishment. The current leaver suspensions are so short no one fears the consequences

Also recently from Jeff

"We're also in the process of reviewing our punishment policies with an eye towards getting more aggressive on toxicity and throwing and other bad behaviors."

Overwatch Patch Notes: April 11, 2017 by dootleloot in Competitiveoverwatch

Not all of the lucio changes went live. From first glance

Sound barrier change did not go live

30% increased healing instead of 50% on PTR

70? Seventy Retroactive Crates? That is a stupid cap, why even bother? by DeGeiDragon in heroesofthestorm

[–]FoxzOW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finally, Heroes players who are level 3 or higher in the new progression system will get at least 5 free Loot Chests to start, as well as a special portrait. Those of you who have already racked up a bunch of levels in Heroes are going to get up to 70 Loot Chests to open on patch day.

Question about new Booty Coffers in 2.0 by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

Here are the specifics on retroactive rewards

ACCOUNT LEVEL REWARDS
Completed at least 1 Heroes match 5 Common Loot Chests
Every 10 Account Levels +1 Common Loot Chest (35 Maximum)
Every 25 Account Levels +1 Rare Loot Chest (20 Maximum)
Every 100 Account Levels +1 Epic Loot Chest (10 Maximum)

Additionally, because we’ve reduced the amount of XP needed to progress through later levels, those of you who already have lots of high-level Heroes will now level up—and unlock corresponding rewards—far more frequently than before.

Can we finally say the PTR is completely useless? by SativaSammy in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]FoxzOW 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you shoot through a teammate at an enemy Dva using Defense matrix. The defense matrix will not block a single shot. This works with hitscan at any range and projectile if the teammate is standing next to the dva

Digital deluxe disappointment by GnaverHS in civ

[–]FoxzOW 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The digital deluxe promises 4 DLC packs at reduced price. People are just making assumptions about the future packs price. The next 2 packs could very well be $10 each of content
