News & Blue Posts:

• Sept 1st Game Night!
• Omnic Meta: (Homepage) - This report is all about Doomfist and his high pick rate completely shaking up the meta.  Doomfist has the highest debut of any new hero since Overwatch came out, as he has made an immediate impact and claimed more than 25% usage across all tiers - putting him as one of the most popular DPS heroes in the game. Encourage you to check out the: Patch 1.13 hero change analysis over at omnicmeta.com.

New Competitive Season Changes:

• Players in Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond can now drop into lower skill tiers.
• We’ve made some adjustments to how skill rating is calculated after a win/loss.

New PTR Hero Changes:

• D.Va
• Micro Missiles (New Ability)
• D.Va fires a barrage of small rockets that detonate on impact, dealing damage in a limited radius around each explosion. These can be fired while D.Va is using any other ability or firing her Fusion Cannons
• Defense Matrix- Defense Matrix's resource meter will now deplete twice as quickly
• Boosters - Fusion Cannons can now be fired while flying
• Mercy:
  • Resurrect (formerly Mercy’s Ultimate ability)
  • Targets 1 player, instead of every player within a 5m radius
  • Ability cooldown: 30 seconds
  • Mercy is no longer granted invulnerability while Resurrecting
  • Valkyrie (New Ultimate)
  • Valkyrie unleashes the full power of Mercy’s Valkyrie Suit, enhancing her weapons and abilities for 20 seconds:
  • Caduceus Staff: Mercy’s healing and damage boost beams now affect all allies near the targeted teammate, and the staff’s effective range has been extended
  • Caduceus Blaster: Granted infinite ammo, while simultaneously increasing damage and fire rate
  • Guardian Angel: Increased range and movement speed
  • Resurrect: Cooldown is instantly reset when Valkyrie is activated and reduced to 10s after the initial cast
  • Hover: Mercy gains the ability to fly freely, at increased movement speed
  • Regeneration (Passive): No longer interrupted when Mercy takes damage
• Reinhardt:
  • Barrier Field - Holding primary fire while your shield is active now allows you to rotate the camera

  • The skull icons that indicate where teammates were killed throughout the map have been replaced with Hero Portrait icons
  • Third person camera view will now frame the action automatically when spectating or waiting to respawn 
• End of Competitive Season 5
