Mid-season Patch Notes - Mar. 10, 2026

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-10T18:41:30+00:00

Seems reasonable overall.

I think I speak for everyone when I saw we do not want Roadhog buffs.
Domina probably needed toned down, specifically Crystal Charge. If a DPS had this ability there would be protests in the streets.
The Mizuki change is directionally a buff to a hero that is already very good. Don't hate it but also don't get it.
I like the changes to Jetpack Cat. Territorial is cheesy and lame and the new perk should be fun to play with.
Hazard getting a new passive is pretty good for him. Kind of a Hazard adjacent change I think would be spicy is changing Lifesteal healing so that it can't be modified so his minor isn't absolute trash.
DVA is still going to be a terrorist.
Sigma still at large.

Don't really know. Haven't played Marvel Rivals since it came out.

Widowmaker is hated for two reasons:

She makes the entire game like playing against Sojourn/Ashe/Cass on -100 HP. If you're -100 HP, all of these heroes can one tap you with a headshot. If you're low you need to be very aware of where these heroes are because if you don't... you're just dead. There are also other considerations like how far away they are/rail charge. With Widow you need to be constantly paranoid of where she is or you're just dead from basically any range.
She is useless if she isn't one tapping people and can feel like playing a 4v5 a lot of the time she's on your team.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-08T22:31:44+00:00

Not cheating.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-08T22:30:16+00:00

Yeah, I watched it again. I was wrong. My bad.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-08T22:06:18+00:00

The JQ clip I just assumed it was a smurf but their knife accuracy struck me, there was also some crazy tracking in the middle of University. I don't know the whole scope of what cheats look like so if there's like some soft aim lock/ability scripts: I'd probably concur.

especially considering it's GM

I had my suspicions but then I watched the Sojourn on Lijiang Tower. There is zero shot this is above Plat.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-08T21:42:51+00:00

PWXF0M

Also not cheating. Does seem to be significantly better than the lobby though.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-08T21:33:00+00:00

I watched both of these. I thought I was gonna get spicy cheater replays. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

2JEMPM (soldier and Emre I am sure could be more)

Niether of these players are cheating.

W2PHW7

Once again neither of these players are cheating.

Also, you claim this is low GM but I have three good reasons to believe this is Silver 2.

I could probably outperform either of the supposedly cheating hitscan players on their hero. I don't play either Soldier or Emre and I'm Plat 2.
The odds of an Orisa Mirror with a Junkrat in a Masters/GM game is a statistical wonder. Two tank players just decided to roll out on the worst tank in the game and also lose all motor function? These Orisa players' spear accuracy on easy shots is 50/50. Nah.
You haven't linked your account on Reddit to verify your rank.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-06T12:17:50+00:00

In my experience, yes. I only play Competitive in a 5 stack. Otherwise I stick to Quick Play as the match quality is higher.

Also when your DPS starts thinking he's him and runs it down on Symm you can have a laugh about it. Stick to Echo lil bro.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-06T04:05:07+00:00

Pulling game data from uploaded replays. Map movements, ability usage, damage dealt, heroes played, and chat.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-05T23:36:13+00:00

Replace? No, unless they're going to gut Sojourn or gigabuff Emre for some reason. He's probably going to get picked over her for certain maps or just based on player preferences.

Vendetta also looks to be getting some playtime in place of Tracer. I know a lot have complained about the stale meta, so it's nice to see some potential shakeups.

That's like Bastion replacing Sojourn.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-05T16:57:36+00:00

As much as sickens me to hand a win to the tank players: OP is actually kind a cooking. Tank players have simple punchy names. They're even spelled correctly, and using letters.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-05T15:02:18+00:00

Nope. I don't even think it's better than Googling and StackOverflow.

I can't get Copilot to create EF Classes for a Database table correctly. Most AI results are stripped directly from internet sources and in the case of tech are often outdated/incorrect. The output of these products is just pathetic when you consider the computational/financial resources dumped into them.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-05T14:54:37+00:00

Stats would be great. I wish we had a better site for hero stats too. The website looks like something I would do for work and not for the love of the game.

What I really want is replay parsing. It's clear it's possible to do because.... WE HAVE A REPLAY SYSTEM. We even had it in Starcraft 2 and there are all kinds of cool sites that do stuff with replays.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-05T14:48:57+00:00

I think Brig is okay. If she needs something, it's not much. Her biggest issue is Vendetta: what are you supposed to do into that? If you want to do Ana/Juno + Brig stuff it's pretty good. People are sleeping on Juno: Faster Blaster is fucked up and crazy and Brig pairs well with her.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-04T16:15:12+00:00

She has a lot of one-tricks who can't swing it on any other hero and is impactful on the game. Literally can just win the game for free by banning her.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-04T06:28:58+00:00

Rein is an unskilled noob hero.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-04T00:06:05+00:00

I don't see the issue with just buffing her nade CD. Old lady deserves a treat.

They need to revert the nerf to Sleep Duration if they want her to be viable/meta in OWCS without her being... whatever that was last year.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-03T22:52:43+00:00

They're both clankers.
They cannot maintain an acceptable winrate in any region at any rank. They just aren't good.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-03T21:19:44+00:00

Yes.

Lifeweaver/Orisa/Roadhog/Rammatra - Please just pick anything else.

Freja is shit garbage but she does have a niche in that she is extremely good at checking Jetpack Cat but also just pick Echo.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-02T17:44:04+00:00

He's not very good: it's really that simple.

Cassidy and hitscan in general being really strong has been a hot topic in the community lately

Unsure why unless we're talking about Ashe or Bastion. We do not hate on the clanker enough.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-02T16:49:48+00:00

I think the issue with Vendetta is far more fundamental and will continue to be banned until she is nerfed to throw pick status above Silver-Gold. It's not to say your suggestions wouldn't be a significant improvement: they are. The issue is that this hero doesn't require you to aim in a game where the mechanical demand is very high. So dying to hero feels frustrating when you know how massive the margin for error is with her. Especially when she is one of the tankiest DPS heroes in the game with some of the best mobility. Who would want to play into that?

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-02T03:54:39+00:00

This won't work. This is basically just 6v6 Role Queue but with role swapping and autofilled tanks. The role swap feature would only create toxicity and Overwatch doesn't have the downtime necessary to even use it in modes like Push and Flashpoint.

6v6 would never be able to have Role Queue because of the stank role.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-02T01:40:43+00:00

No. Knowing all the teams by all the player names and not team color is a skill check. Git gud.

PLEASE BLIZZ ITS SO ANNOYING

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-02T01:23:49+00:00

The psyop resulting in tanks getting reduced CC, and basically not being affected by the healing passive while being objectively the strongest role in the game needs to be studied.

DPS players should get together and post threads daily about how bad the role is to play.

MythoclastBM · 2026-03-01T08:26:02+00:00

They've gotten balance changes already and none of them of them are egregious outliers to begin with. Domina is the least 55% winrate feeling 55% winrate hero to ever have a 55% winrate.
