3:43 - Rein's shatter will cost 7% more (text graphic error)
7:46 - Sombra's pistol from 7 to 7.5 dmg per bullet (forgot to change text graphic)

[Wackeroni]

Since Sojourn was dominating the entire game in the past few seasons, the overwatch devs KNEW that the best cause of action was to nerf torb turret.

[Frozoken]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure wrecking ball is the only character now in the games history to passively have both shield and armour

[MakoTaco]

Zen getting 5 more shots is actually huge. There are so many times I was 1 more shot to kill an enemy but had to reload

[rileywhite]

Make your choice vs MercyPockets:

Focus the Pocketed: They gets more healing when low so it's harder to kill them

Focus Mercy: You have to shoot a constantly healed Mercy while her pockets bombard you

Lose-Lose scenario

[Crnched]

Been saying that Brig change was necessary for months. Felt SO BAD pressing E on a low health hero knowing they were going to die before anything happened

[ghost_wipe]

As a Rein main the knockback impulse is honestly an extremely good QOL change because you can swing and not have the enemy get knocked out of your hammer range

[DieDieNacho]

The updated color blind options are such a great change from what they originally were! Being able to customize personal settings, rather than choosing from a few options, can make the difference between literally being able to see important details and not.

[WESHALLPIE]

Covering all the important stuff without a forty minute video. Impressive content as always. Keep up the good work

[daviddiett]

Regarding the map changes, I hope they plan to add an alternate time-of-day to every map at some point, they can rotate them between Seasons to keep things interesting as a substitute to Map Pools.
I like the little preview window in the settings, maybe they'll add every hero cinematic to the Hero Gallery like they did for JQ and Kiriko, would be nice for new players to get an idea what that hero is all about.

[McMagicMarvOW]

I think Reins hammer knock back change is not good for when you're pinning enemies off the map and giving them a last hit to push them further. However, it probably stop enemies being pushed further away from you when they’re jumping.
I think more good than bad 🔨 👍

[UMadBro]

Not a fan of the Mercy changes. I get she was a problem because of sojourn but this just feels like a nerf to her fun factor (mobility) and promotes pocketing from range even more

[TimeBucks]

Zen getting 5 more shots is actually huge.

[CopShowGuy]

I'll take any improvements to Sombra gladly at this point. And Widow going back down to 175 is delightful along with Sombra's damage increase.

[xRichieeex]

For Rein there always seems to be this issue where the knock back will sometimes knock targets away from you . This should help him stick to targets a bit better .

[rickymohar]

As a rein main the knock back reduction on hammer will be a quality of life for both reins and enemies. I won’t get frustrated so much that a basic attack is stunlocking me, and as a rein I won’t have to chase enemies as much.

[jasontrumbo]

Mercy changes are going to drive me insane

[therealgodking]

The only thing im surprised they didn’t nerf is the one DPS that hits harder than reaper, moves faster than tracer, and snipes better than widow…Soujorn

[sethescope]

those accessibility options are so great! good on the devs for adding them and ESPECIALLY the preview option that shows BOTH the say and night lighting, that's so cool

[xdlukas]

Season 2: overwatch has a damage problem
Season 3: more damage less health
