    IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    • 1-100 scale changing to 1-5000
    • Rank 60 and higher was top 6% of total Overwatch.

    • They're adding 'Tiers' like League.
    1. Bronze
    2. Silver
    3. Gold
    4. Platinum
    5. Diamond
    6. Master
    7. Grandmaster.
    • Competitive Points are being increased by 10x. e.g Your current CP is getting a zero added at the end. Presumably Wins net you 10 and a tie would net you 5.
    • Golden Guns now cost 3000 CP.
    • Coinflip & Sudden Death are being removed.
      • KOTH is unchanged, you need to win 3/5
      • Assault now has a pure timebank system
        • If you complete the map with less than 1 minute remaining you will now be boosted to 1 minute.
        • The time added to cap you at 1 minute will be added to the enemy timebank
        • Ties are now technically possible if neither team moves the cart.
      • Hybrid Maps are now timebank.
        • Ties are now possible, but only in the event that the first point is never capped.
      • Payload now has a timebank.
        • If you complete the map then you get a second crack at it with your remaining time to see how far you can get it.

    • In the new system you can only group with people within a 500 SR of your own.

    While you SR can drop, your rank won't (except for diamond, master and grandmaster i think...)

    Pretty great when you play for 4 hours one night and you constantly get grouped with inexplicable trolls...

    Old news by now, but the new Hybrid map was announced: Eichenwalde.

    With the season ending imminently, I'm looking forward to exploring this map in a custom game.

    I wonder if there'll be a new mode announced too?

    JOKES ON YOU BITCH.

    It's a fucking REVERSE HYBRID MAP!

    You start off pushing the cart and then when it hits the last checkpoint it opens up an assault point! How awesome is that?!

    Haven't been checking this thread as much lately so not sure if this has been posted.

    Kind of redundant on that map since it's so easy to hide from, but still, pro teammate.

    I love all of the story they put into the maps, the dead Bastion units, the massive figure on the throne, this is going to be fun as hell.

    My first thought when I saw the throne was that the figure looked kind of like Mordekaiser(in particular one of his skins) from League of Legends.

    That, and the video made it seem like what Jon was saying.

    Mercy now heals for 60 hp/s.

    And I really don't like those Zenyatta changes. I feel like his main identity as a hero is being removed which was that of a glass cannon.

    Either way, I'm making my final push to get over the rank I need for next tier rewards!

    Really liking the changes. Kinda don't see why Hanzo needs the buffs but I'll take it for the Mercy buff

    Genji nerfs are ridiculous, specifically the ones to the right click/melee/dash and double jump. They've nerfed his execute potential (his bread and butter) and manoeuvrability...

    I'm super psyched to try out Hanzo changes. I'll be playing him and Widow a lot in off season to try and up my sniper game.

    Zenyatta changes are absolutely necessary (this is coming from someone who mostly Zens in comp). Discord is OP. It probably still is. It's basically 50% in damage for entire team on one target. Thinking of it that way, even 30% is super powerful.

    It's why he's so much more powerful than Mercy.

    He's still a glass canon. His orbs do even more damage than they did previously.

    Just wish they'd rework his alt fire...

    i don't play Overwatch, but regarding Genji (watch a lot of it on Twitch) the nerfs are standard Blizzard, coming from a former WoW player.

    over nerf a class, and if the timing was right you would get little buff in increments until you were balanced out.

    keyword is timing though.
