UPCOMING Season 9 BALANCE Changes, Cosmic Crisis Event, NEW Pharah Rework, & More!

[@WolfySundae]

Dang, I expected quite a bit more from this update but I'm not really suprised anymore.

[@Kamiroon]

Yeah... sadly, the competitive rework takes up majority of what this season is. Then the rest is mainly skins in the shop, and then like maybe 5% (if we're lucky), is stuff that you can earn and new/fun gamemodes or game changes, etc. I tend to keep my expectations on Overwatch Seasons honestly quite low because the amount of content they bring in comparison to other live services is far far smaller. I weirdly feel like we could be heading into a "Season 8 2.0", especially if the gameplay isn't fresh with the balance changes. Because outside of the competitive stuff and cosmic crisis (for like 2 games lol), it seems like it's only cosmetics.

Ty Kamiroon for the update, good vid!

[@Kamiroon]

No worries! I'm glad I could let you know about it and you found it useful/enjoyed it! I appreciate you leaving a comment as well.

with the kiri one i think the projectile is bigger overall but would be too oppressive if it went through the global increase in hitbox size without a nerf. Great vid!!!

[@Kamiroon]

Yeah I ended up seeing something about this on twitter a little after the video went up. Honestly, it's kinda crazy that it's getting bigger (alongside Mercy's and Dva's weapons, like all of those projectile sizes are already MASSIVE). But I appreciate you letting me and others know that her kunai's projectile size is still getting buffed. And I'm glad you enjoyed/found the video useful!

I dont think I could care less about these changes tbh. Not really doing it for me. I am curious about the season launch though, see if the battle pass is good and if there is a good event

[@QuEeoNNDdaAAA]

Damn, that's sad. Hope you can have fun with the game again.

[@Kamiroon]

I'm in a similar boat. As of right now, this season seems to heavily rely on the comp update and balance changes to carry it. The other stuff doesn't seem that major and likely something you try and then forget about. Even then, I don't even find much of the skins even good either, so that doesn't even excite me either (especially knowing most of them are behind a paywall.) Hopefully I'm proven wrong though with the launch of the season and game feels refreshing to play.

This season seems alright, I’m not gonna play it the day if comes out because I’m more excited for the apex season Also Winton buff yippee But I feel like the health changes are kinda unnecessary The pharah changes are pretty good, I think the new ability will be similar to her ability from trials of the sanctuary Imagine if the hero gauntlet mode had a skill tree there would be a riot after the pve situation (speaking of that I don’t really care about the pve but when the hell are they releasing the next one?)

[@Kamiroon]

DUDE, you don't know how much I want to play the new Apex season over the Overwatch one!!! lol. I'll definitely be trying to get my OW video done relatively quick because that season for Apex looks really nice, especially with like the legend upgrades (apex got skill trees before Overwatch... oof). And I definitely agree with you on the health changes, it just seems odd and could possibly create a similar problem to what we already are dealing with. Also, winston's changes aren't really a buff, it's more just to keep him the same since everyone is getting more health. It's like the Reinhardt Pin change. I don't play Pharah (pretty sure she's my least played hero besides maybe lifeweaver and mauga), but it's cool to see her get some much needed changes. But from what I know of the hero gauntlet mode, it won't have skill trees per se, but like upgrade options. It will probably be similar to how Trials of Sanctuary worked. And I guess you can count Hero Gauntlet/Cosmic Crisis as the next PvE stuff. Other than that, I don't think they have like any plans on doing more missions (yay... less content...). Hopefully this season will make me want to play more, but there's just so much Competition for this game, and it seems like everything else is winning.

@@Kamiroon yeah especially the double octane pad and pathfinder getting his grapples on kills are gonna be so fun
