#Flats #overwatch2 #overwatch - Hry
Since they have talked about how long it takes to make any visual changes to abilities, you can tell a lot of these had already been made for the PVE hero trees.
It’s smart that they’re resourceful but it also really hurts knowing I’d be having the time of my life on support Sombra
@@nailinthefashion
fr. there are so many DPS support hybrids, changing sombra to a support doesn't sound half bad
@@vinnt_tnniv it is what I’ve always wanted since her release. Even more so with Echo since hitting my team with sticky healing bombs would be absolutely ridiculous fun
O7
Many of those Ana changes are definitely an experimental test lol
Also, Mercy detonating corpses instead of rez (altho maybe it would fit more as an aoe heal/buff ability in the actual game)
@@bohdanpyzh2712 I really don't want rez to be taken away though. Her healing is so bad that it's the only way to keep allies alive. Push damage boost, let them die, revive.
@@adec.881 is this genuinely the strat? focus on blue beam & rez's instead of stressing to keep everybody's HP topped off? I'm gold 1 support & My mercy game needs work lmao
@@bohdanpyzh2712 its def a lil busted rn
@@kirby4432 Yep, her healing is the worst in the game. Your focus should be to get as much damage amplified as possible & only heal when needed (Ex: your other support is dead, you're close to getting your ultimate, someone's being dived & is critical)
Your other support should top people off. All you're doing is stealing ult charge from your other support player, which is bad. If a fight is over, don't heal unless your other support already has their ultimate, so that they can get it faster.
You should have a "main dmg boost target", usually a hitscan or flying hero. You should heal when they reload. You should also dmg boost when you know your teammates do a lot of damage. (Ex: bastion turret form, reaper very close to enemy team, almost all ultimates)
I recommend you watch Skiesti or Niandra, they have tips on how to play her.
She excels at a pocketing playstyle. Her goal is to amplify her DPS, not to keep them alive.
Note that you should heal more if youre playing with a zenyatta or Lucio.
You should be very careful when resurrecting. Sometimes it can be detrimental to your team. Ex: rezzing someone into a 2v5 fight is just stalling your team.
Also be very careful with your guardian angel usage. Normally Mercy has a 1.5 second cooldown, but if you jump or crouch during GA you get a 2.5 second cooldown. This can cost you the game, try to only jump/ crouch IF NEEDED.
I peaked diamond 4 as a Mercy one trick and these tips really helped me out. If you're interested, watch videos on CZcams. Cya ^^
2:24 I like how the rein buff is literally a better bap matrix for a shield
it's not better
@@dafke5124block damage and boost damage > boost damage
@@dafke5124 so, you think Bap's window not being able to move or block incoming damage is better? Wow.
@@RedTheWeeb but I think it boosts less
@@dafke5124 Its way better!! Maybe the multiplier is lower but it moves and is permanent until destroyed at which point you get a speed boost passive until its back again. Rein is insane especially with Mercy
I imagine that it would be a nightmare on the backend, but I wish that they'd put all of these limited events, barring the holiday ones, in an arcade playlist at some point. It would be really fun to just sit in a random list of these for a few hours at a time.
Exactly atleast put them in rotation for the weekly arcade modes
Or at least post a custom game code with the changes
See I always figured this is what they've been doing with their events. Using different things for different characters to see if it's actually good for them. Like some of these buffs just genuinely seem like a good idea for the character. Like the rein speed increase when shield is broken.
Hopefully this means they’re open to bringing them in after looking at all this data. They would be such healthy and refreshing no brainers that would actually make Rein not only viable but fun to play WITH instead of feeling like a burden you have to babysit
@@nailinthefashion I always bring up Zen's kick in these discussions, because that's literally what it started as - a silly April Fools change that playerbase actually liked. So there's always hope
Or giving doom empowered punch a speed boost after instead of stunning enemies
its what they did in april fools too for some of them
If Brig was given stun back it would have made sense for this timeline.
oh my god the mirror watch doomfist actually sounds amazing. I would LOVE the ability to give over health to my team in the actual game.
been playing for a bit
he is an actual tank now lmao
Reminds me of April fools when Queen was actually viable. Would much prefer this Doom who has more focus on sustain than damage
FUCK no bro I don't want another tank with an overhealth to allies button. Literally every OW2 tank excluding Ram has one and its getting boring.
this guys gonna freak when he sees the ball changes
@@Georgian502 literally every tank except ram? What game are you playing?
Wait Zarya just got her Talents and alternate Ult from Heroes of the Storm. The changes to Doom's primary abilities and Rein's shield and added passive, put those through. Virus could work if you reduce the damage it deals, making Ganymede a scouting abilitiy sounds fun, Tracer changes are interesting, Widow sounds like a bit but ult sounds cool, Ana rifle with crits is neat, Brig burn they could do if her shield has more health, Harmony is a W but Discord is a BIG L. This is a solid ability test mode
I'm not sure Ana's headhots or mobility would be easy to balance in the base game, but I love having shorter CD on nade as well as being able to partially heal through the enemy antinade. That one I would not be sad about seeing in base game.
SLICERS MENTIONED 🗣🗣🔥 🔥
Got hit with that sweet "mercy diff" the very first game I played as her. Got to love this community
the bastion Droid just capped a point in my game while my team c9ed
Bastion ult could be the ultimate objective flank/overtime touch now
The best change is the ult of bastion that invoques slicers
The rein change where rein should be able to shift shields from defense to a damage booster is much needed in the normal game
This mode is actually really fun. I love the changes they made, nothing to unbalanced or oppressive, but not easy to deal with either. And honestly, I wouldn’t mind if the changes to Ana and Sombra made it into the actual game. Like turning sombra into a support would be an interesting idea and it works fairly well.
"nothing to unbalanced or oppressive" you clearly haven't played against Mercy
@@Srelathon true. But I feel like she’s the only one who’s kinda OP.
@@Srelathon I think they made her OP on purpose because she has the mythic this season lol
@@Srelathonthe damage aura on dmg boost could get chopped or tweaked, and the rocket damage, but other than that I don’t see a pain point. If you stack near souls then gg too I guess
The souls are a joke, especially if you’re tracer and they one shot you.
Free kills if she pops it in the middle of a team fight when you have rein
Turn sombra into a support and give her this kit. her virus can heal allies or dot enemies. hacking allies heals them and buffs them. remove hacking enemies. honestly, yes. an invis support is way more intimidating than an invis dps and honestly, sombra needs kicked off dps with how obnoxious her real kit is.
As a tank and zen player I really like the zen changes
1- the boosted healing when dealing headshots is really really nice and rewards good aim
2- i think the poison discord orb is straight up better and more healthy for the game, its not a 'tankus deletus' button and its really fun to spread poison everywhere when you hit a headshot on someone with it, i would give up the damage boost for the poison or something similar
3- the ult is kinda meh tbh, trans is fine and the new ult is just another emp almost, i dont think it needs any changes
That would be a good zen rework if they are testing new abilities for these characters
Literally the Rein rework/buffs he actually needs 🤣
Ana double jump?! No way, my granny is hitting the gym!
This is cool i wonder if any of these will make it into the base game since fun new game modes would be a great way to beta test new abilities
The Ana nade change will upset Ana mains, I think. Buit a lot of the changes sound like fun
I’ve been playing her more since s9 and no, I think it’s necessary for the health of the game and gives people more options to think about
Haven't tried it yet, but almost all of these sound super fire
They literally took zarya's hots talents and put the in overwatch. I like it XD.
Brig, Ana, and Zen sound scary.
Bastion kinda sounds neat
And some of the random abilities from a few heroes sound like they were from the 2 previous April fools patches. Kinda dope.
A bunch of these Mirrored versions are way more fun and actually feel like developed and entertaining characters
Idk how they’re so capable of making amazing changes and characters yet have their game in the same state for 3 seasons
I get why they don't just add them into arcade (having to pay for servers and all), but I wish they would replace the more boring and less played gamemodes with not much variety. Low gravity is novel for 2 seconds and then you never touch it, total mayhem is still completely broken, and no limits either and in the entire team picking a broken hero, or just open queue. These gamemodes (Like hogs pachimari event or prophunt) would be awesome to have in weekly rotation slot instead of the 3 same bad arcade gamemodes weve had for YEARS.
More fun doesn't mean more balanced lol. Also these wacky changes will naturally feel really great because they are new.
The game also being in the same state for 3 years is just objectively wrong seeing we went from overwatch 1 to overwatch 2 to overwatch 2 but with different health pools and projectile sizes so I don't know what you are on about lol.
Edit: I'm dumb sometimes.
@@lesliejacoby9137 3 seasons, not 3 years. Reading isn’t one of your best feats is it?
The originals are already developed and entertaining characters. They literally just switched their personalities 😭😭
@@kassandraofodyssey6475made a mistake, chill. Either way it's still objectively wrong since the projectile size changes are halfway in that 3 season timeline so there was a drastic change so I'm still confused what they mean.
The rein changes feel so good.
Attack speed stacks on hitting swings feel amazing. Just make speed boost instead on sheild break just port over the doom block. AAAAAAAAA
I thought this was just about mirroring maps. I said 6 years ago we should add day/night variants to all maps and even mirror them (obviously not KOTH).
Some of these abilities need to stay.
Rein is a massive W except shatter.
The window is a good selfish incentive for teammates to stay behind the shield.
Sombra makes her more supportive and has more depth to her gameplay.
Ana headshot is great to raise her skill cap but it should only be on scoped shot and either have damage falloff or a lower headshot multiplier.
Widowmaker is a great.
Her wall always felt a bit strong in higher ranks but useless in lower ranks.
The easier headshots fits better as a DPS ult.
i saw expulsion zone and exploding barriers and got a bit more interested
blizzard please its been 3 and a half years since hogger, i need hots content
This is literally what rein needs 😭so many of these Mirrorverse changes would be actually so good to add to the game
Kinda wish they could've included an evil Lifeweaver version, would be fun to see what they come up with to "fix" him lmao
can they keep this game mode? or have it return occasionally? it seems like so much fun
this man gets me so bricked up
this is a test to see if they should put these into comp
I love how Ana can headshot now as a nod to her taking widows eye in mirrorwatch.
I absolutly LOVE the bastion ult change and I really hope it could be added to a future tank or maybe support ult
I have yet to try the tank changes, but the dps changed were a bit disappointing for me. Couldn't try bastion as he always got instalocked
Omg Mercy has Corpse Explosion!!
I wonder if they are testing if a hero that spawns ai is a good idea id love a hero like that thats done well
Brig merge with Rein, mauga and hog...my NIGHTMARES came to life...
This is awesome it’s like a new game I like it
Next event up is counterwatch
brigitte having a hook makes so much sense pls make it a thing at least a slight hook
Can’t wait for flamethrower Mei to be the most healthy character ever
why couldn't this mode be open q also?
I cant even play overwatch until may 1st because i was suspended. But no reason to why I was suspended was given.
*sees no Sigma or Ramattra*
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined..... still gonna the event lol!!!
I feel like aome point in the pve story doom would turn against ramattra anyways and become this
Wow.. Talon Reinhardt DEFINITELY has the buffs regular Reinhardt NEEDS
I played Mirrorwatch Doomfist, I want those changes added to the actual game and I'm boutta add Doomfist to my roster of Tank Characters
As for Bastion if his ultimate in the actual game was this, This would be so funny and could be a better ult than he has now.
Sombra, her hack honestly can work in game too, while.
But now I hope that they bring Mirrorwatch back in future seasons, cause I can imagine seeing all the different characters in this alternate universe. Give me Talon Pharah damnit
there def think about putting the ryn buffs and ana nerfs in the main game
So far all I've tried is Sombra and Mercy but my god both feel fun and good
Inb4 we are so back
Finally rein buffs!!
Overwatch shattered glass
why do i feel like the mirror watch bastion reinforcement config would be more fun and useful i would say scrap the mortar ult and replace it with that
Interesting they’re bringing back Ana headshots from last year’s April Fools patch
So I thought tracer was getting a new skin like sombra did I miss something?
Probs being stupid here but does anyone think limits on hero switching would help the games issues
For example you load into the game your free to change during set-up but after that once you change to another character from your starting pick your then for the rest of the round , locked into those two heroes?
"This is the buff Rein actually needs.".
Why do you think they do thise events? Its to test out new changes and ideas :)
I refuse to believe it takes a billion seasons for character re-works any longer, or that they can’t change characters the way we actually ask them to when this is what they gift us for a limited time event.
The gamemode is fun. However, i am on an 8 game loss streak trying to finish my challenges and my mental fortitude is slipping
No good guy reaper?
A lot of these changes could actually make the main game better
Mercy is insane! Top elims, top assists, top damage, top healing and POTG... everytime you play her!! That E ability is amazing to turn around fights that were lost and it does so much damage. And the ultimate just destroys everything too. Way too OP for regularwatch but for this its great.
This shouldve been rein patch notes
Imagine Ramattra as a human?
I'm sorry, Mercy has a rocket launcher?
You can tell half these abilities , if not all, they're doing is from their scrapped PvE, but they're just making events out of it instead of an actual PvE game mode
Where the Porsche stuff
Coming later in season.
@@robikkupegasus7039 RAAAAAGGGH I WANT IT NOW 🥹
Ok wait did they just give rein shield the same effect as fucking bae ult???
Geezus is this how you read information in your head? If so you must be confused for half of your life 😆
I just wish you could play as junker sym or genji
Hold Up! Some of these are buffs that the characters need why are they teasing?
Support sombra are OP
May 13th is my birthday.
You can't hack enemies though 😂
The base game is so shitty that the only way to get any more enjoyment out of ow2 is through the extremely limited game mode events.
This mode has cool ideas but actually playing is horrendous
I like your cut man👏🏾
I hate Mercy sooo much. The Ult goes for far too long and there are not tanks I would want to play but now I always have to play Tank instead of Sup when choosing all roles...
Underwatch???
I'm just so sick of them screwing up season after season, how are we in season 10 and they still don't understand how to balance their game. It's so boring and miserable every game is orisa and depending on how the dps plays out she's either an unstoppable juggernaut or she explodes
Good thing blizzard arent wasting all the content they made for pve. Is a shame though its all only temporary
i cant hate on ow2 dude, im new to hte game but ive been following ow content creation scene since 2017, still i dont get the hate the game has, i played a lot of competitive fps games and still ow is the one iva had the best experience with, and seeing this gamemode i just CANT hate ow dude
like im glad i havent been part of the literal game comunitty because i would feel betrayed with ow2, but being a new fan i just get to enjoy the game free and with the full multiplayer experience
played two games of this. tank is unsurprisingly the weakest role by far
Less goo
ive been suspended and banned from season10 for no reason support is no help at all i just get there usual read our policies bullshit respons
Hopefully someone from team4 reads this. I am begging you to make Sombra a support. Please let virus do less damage, and if that person gets healed then you also do for half of it. This is the most fun I have had in Overwatch. Period. Sombra support is THE hero. Hack could instantly start someone’s regen and then bam, extremely fun off healer. Make virus able to heal too so there’s a choice of using it like nade offensively or to save. PLEASSSSSEEEEEEEE team4, she’s so annoying as a dps. This alleviates every thing I hate about her new playstyle instantly. Lore wise she could have finally decoded Mercy’s encrypted files or something. Please omg I’m gonna cry so hard once this mode leaves
Signed, someone with hundreds of hours on her that wishes there was more to her kit
Early
Wheres reaper should have been in this what a missed opportunity
Holy crap commenters, stop saying this is "balanced" - we wont play this mode long enough or take it seriously enough for that to be a remotly accurate statement.
Flats stop yapping
Not a fan of this gamemode
I swear if I see any people say "these were probably ideas for the pve skill tree" I will only play Hammond. Move on! Its over, gone, and you will yet still be saying that years from now.
It’s cuz they were lol
They are... You do understand they have years worth of content they can repurpose right?
@@YourBlackLocal yes I get that but people are sulking everytime they bring it up. Move on from pve overwatch.
@@lesliejacoby9137 What are you talking about? They aren’t saying it should be saved for PvE, they’re saying where it came from…
@@lesliejacoby9137wahhh wahhh
If only half the fan-base wasn't banned for profanity
This smells like dead ideas from the PVE that should stay in the grave
I heavily disagree as discarding all that work would simply be bad for players who want to try and the people who worked hard on it
@@abyssalnothingness yea. I just want them to actually make balance changes that do something instead they focus on stuff like this
@@Superyan100 I feel like big balance changes can be tested through stuff like this which is never a bad thing
Balance changes aren't the main priority for a good chunk of online games' playerbases. There are plenty of people who won't care that Rein deals 10 more damage a swing or Lucio gets ult 5% slower. It's for fun, flashy modes like this that refresh current players, make old players return, and potentially get some new players too. I know you probably aren't super happy with the current game balance, but trust me when I say these types of things are actually extremely important for the longevity of the game.
Love to see this is what the pve abilitys are being butchered and sloppaly packaged into
"Butchered and sloppily packaged" dawg we quite literally saw NONE of the finished skill tree abilities in game. You have no right to say they’re being "butchered" when we’ve never even played them until now.

@@Phobie_2008 well do you think thay just pulled all these abilities out of thair ass? Obviously they came from the pve. And when I say butchered I mean it in the way that insted of these abilities being used in a fun and replayable mode. We get this that'll last a week then never be seen again. I see it as just a waist and it pisses me off
428 views in 6 minutes, fell off
the mode is dogshit since you can only play those characters.
waste of dev resources. actual ranked game is dogshit. dogshit balance patches
cope harder. Believe it or not, people actually like having fun in this game and not just sweat in comp.
