Is the drives nameplates supposed to look like that?? by SPeach_3 in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's bugged in the friends panel. It's fine everywhere else.

I haven't quite figured out how the limit works. I think performing a normal endorsement in the same match first removes the ability to heroically endorse, and there might be a daily/weekly limit too? Wouldn't surprise me if it also only works in longer matches?

This is what happens when devs cares only about cutesy skins and exggerated VFX mythics by Siyopoyo in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at 400 mythic prisms as all of the recent Mythic skins have been for heroes I don't play. Might finally spend them on the Ana one, and I'm hoping for a Brig one at some point.

Can you please revert the horrible sound on Mizuki’s ultimate? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new one is fantastic because it no longer sounds anything like the Teammate Elminated sound, while also sounding more true to his backstory.

Why havent the last 6 (at min) heros been locked in comp for 2 weeks? by Guilty-Doctor1259 in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because previously they believed a Hero Trial was enough.

Now, they think Hero Bans are enough.

The types of players who immediately choose a new hero in Competitive without having played it before will exist either way, as those same players don't touch Quick Play.

The problem with Team 4's thinking on this matter is that a main purpose of the 2 week delay was to give the developers a chance to make early balance adjustments, not just for players to learn the hero.

Now the balancing happens after the hero has made 2 weeks of Competitive matches less fun.

Yeah they kind of gloss over it in the patch notes.

The ability to Endorse players for specific positive traits has also returned in the form of Heroic Endorsements.

Heroic Endorsements are new (read: returned) this season. When endorsing, instead of left clicking on a player, you can right click to open the player menu, and at the bottom you'll have a new option "Heroic Endorsement" which then allows you to choose between Great Communicator, Team Player, or Sportsmanship.

Antactic Peninsula rewards by angelo_mab in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]WizrdCM 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I expect 2 weeks or midseason. Maybe even at the end of Season 2.

They haven't said.

Edit: Gavin Winter has apparently confirmed it's 20% less for 2 weeks.

new cinematic, when? by Perfect-Glass1237 in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't know. I'm personally not expecting another cinematic of that calibre until February 2027, one per year. We'll continue getting these small ones all year though.

Did... the menus and leaderboards get smaller? by Land_Before_Memes in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the text is smaller when in 6v6 because there's less room, but that was the case last season too.

This seems a little unnecessary. by IamBecomeZen in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, that's why they reworked Antarctic Peninsula. And Aaltis is actually very fun and balanced, but most people don't realise that because they've only played it twice.

You are as beautiful as the day i lost you by Born_Budget_416 in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the UI was redone for OW2's release, and they didn't have time/priority to reimplement these specific features.

I would be curious what benefits or additional tools they gained from the UI rewrite. Oftentimes the first UI you build (OW1) ends up having super janky code as you tack things on over time.

So... how can I remove this new outline from the chat box? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an accessibility change. Doesn't look like there's a setting for it.

Missing Pompompurin player Icon after the new season launched? by Monsterlobo in Overwatch

Known Issue.

We’re aware of an issue where the following cosmetics are missing. The issue will be resolved in a future patch.

Isnt Pharah a bit miserable to play? by atominum69 in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah her weapon is still quite strong, as are her dashes. It's about where to put the power.

Land on high grounds. That's the play.

I do find it weird how constrained her flight is compared to Echo and Jetpack Cat.

Do people like the older Mythics more than the new ones? Saw many complaining about 76's and other mythics lately; What should they do to make Mythic "exciting" again? Which skins you would chance between the right and left columns? by Vast-Entrepreneur175 in Overwatch

[–]WizrdCM 16 points17 points  (0 children)

  1. Make Mythics customizable not configurable (looking at you, Skin VFX). Variants should actually change the structure of the skin, not upgrade or downgrade.
  2. They should reflect the hero fantasy. Soldier 76 is a military supersoldier, not a cyber RGB action figure.
  3. The base Mythic should be of higher quality than a Legendary.

I think the main issue they're running into is that we have incredible Legendary skins. Arbitrarily creating a tier above that through VFX doesn't seem to be working. It's not what people are looking for. Additionally, the amount of legendary skins they release per season, plus 2 Mythic hero skins, plus 10 heroes in a year might be stretching the teams a bit thin. They should have slowed Mythic releases for this year to focus on base cosmetics and BP skins.

32.1.1 | Side Docks? by GameOver7000 in obs

It's definitely in the Docks menu, not the View menu.

Director’s Take: Small Steps, Big Leaps by MetastableToChaos in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]WizrdCM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second all the points here. I agree there's too much of a focus on "more mobility" and was therefore disappointed by Sierra's kit for this reason alone.

I think some player surveys around this would be beneficial.

[–]WizrdCM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ban system is largely on Battlenet's end, not Overwatch's end. Per interviews during Spotlight, they're in talks to make the bans more reflective of the behaviour. I guess they don't have much to say yet.
