Another highlight from the patch is that two new skins have been officially added to the game, Oni Genji, and Officer D. Va. While both the map and the two skins were a part of the game's Public Testing Region (PTR) on Windows PC almost a month ago, this marks the first time that either of these features have been made available of everyone, regardless of platf
Three heroes have also seen some major adjustments. For McCree, Deadeye now begins to lock onto targets after 0.2 seconds, instead of the previous lock-on time of 0.8 seconds. With Reaper, you'll now regain 20% health from all damage done to heroes. Roadhog's head hitbox has also been reduced by 20%, while his Scrap Gun will now do 33% less dam
Bastion takes 35% less damage while in Configuration: Sentry or Tank
Developer Comments: The goal of these changes is to move some of Bastion's power from Configuration: Sentry to Recon, while keeping its sentry mode a strong option, especially versus tanks and barriers. Overall, Bastion should feel stronger and more flexible with these chan
Dragon Age: Inquisition was the game that would hopefully right the wrongs o f Dragon Age 2 and its much-criticized combat system. Unfortunately, the game didn't quite do that at launch and instead gave Dragon Age fans more to be angry ab
Enemy shots no title longer need to travel a minimum distance before they can be blocked
Developer Comments: Previously, there was a minimum distance a projectile had to travel before it could be destroyed by Defense Matrix. This made it nearly worthless in situations where an enemy was right next to your teammate, such as when Roadhog hooks your ally. This change removes that restriction so Defense Matrix should now reliably destroy projectiles regardless of how far they have trave
Critical hit volume reduced by 15%
Developer Comments: Winston's head hit volume was just abnormally big, making him take more damage than he otherwise should. This change brings it more in line with other her
Sombra, as she is at this moment, is under-powered in multiple ways. She relies too heavily on her hack; an ability that is easy to interrupt and difficult to fully utilize. Like most of the heroes in this section of the list, a Tracer or Genji would serve the team better in almost any situat
Voting started on December 24th, and ended on January 21st. Each voter was asked to give ten preferences in order, with the first game scoring four points, second and third scoring three, ranks from four to six scoring two points, and the rest only one. Two honorable mentions were also allowed, but scored no points.
Hanzo's criticism comes in the form of reliant damage. Someone like McCree or Soldier can rack up kills more consistently than Hanzo can. He doesn't have the self-sustain that other heroes in the game do, and a good Widowmaker can virtually neutralize a good Hanzo. His kit is decent, but won't get him in the top-tier based on consistent efficacy and fan percept
Battlefield 3 was EA's fastest selling game ever, and the publisher must have been keen to follow up that success with Battlefield 4 . Sadly, the first person shooter had the opposite effect, sending EA's stock prices downward and making them the subject of several lawsui
The main highlight of the new patch is addition of the Horizon Lunar Colony . As the name suggests, this new map takes place on the moon, and is available to play in both quick play and competitive modes. This map was previously announced back in May with a trai
Bethesda did know about the bug , but it's one that they thought that they had fixed prior to the game's launch. Thankfully, it was fixed once and for all with a post-launch patch, but not before causing a lot of headac
The answer: Roadhog. Reaper suffers because Roadhog is basically a better version of him. At higher levels in particular, no one is going to play reaper when they could have a Roadhog doing the same thing. Roadhog can completely nullify certain enemy ultimates while Reaper can only get himself out of harm's way. Reaper is fun to play and can be effective, but there's a better version of him in the tank class, making his role nonexistent in many high-level matc
The update also brings the usual slab of hero changes, including a lot of love for Bastion. Aiming to make the character more self-sufficient, Blizzard have buffed the character heavily. For example, when in sentry mode or in Ultimate, he takes 35 percent less damage, he can enter Sentry Mode quicker and has a larger magazine in that form. However, it's not all love and buffs for the guy. Blizzard have also dealt him an increase in bullet spread, and he now can't deal critical hits while in Sentry Mode. His Ultimate also no longer provides bonus ar
Billed as an explosive finale to Rocksteady Studios' Batman: Arkham trilogy, Batman: Arkham Knight has been making the headlines for all of the wrong reasons these past few weeks. The game worked fine on consoles, but on PC it was an entirely different story. Immediately upon launch, PC Arkham Knight players began to report huge framerate issues that persisted whenever Batman mo
