| 3s | You’re in my sights. |
|---|---|
| 7s | Hi. I'm ML7. |
| 8s | We've taken a look at the changes for season nine and the’re pretty massive. |
| 12s | First, let's talk about the changes to the core gameplay. |
| 18s | They were designed with four major goals behind them. |
| 20s | Make shooting feel better and more consistent. |
| 23s | Reduce the effectiveness of burst damage. |
| 25s | Lower some of the added healing |
| 27s | pressure that comes from the increase in health pools and more landed shots. |
| 31s | And find a way to cut through sustain during teamfights. |
| 34s | Most damage dealing hitscans and projectile radiuses have been increased. |
| 38s | This means that shooting in Overwatch will feel more consistent and rewarding. |
| 41s | This is a huge update to the core gameplay as it opens up |
| 45s | new strategies because the breakpoints have changed. |
| 48s | For example, |
| 49s | if before the season it took Kiriko two headshots to eliminate a Soldier 76. |
| 53s | Now it's going to take them two headshots and a body shot to get the job done |
| 57s | and get a reaction. |
| 58s | There will be a lot of experimenting |
| 60s | in this season, but I feel like here is that have abilities or ultimates |
| 64s | that do damage based on percentages of the enemy's health bug |
| 68s | will probably be pretty strong alongside with heroes that can deny enemy abilities. |
| 74s | There's a new global health organization passive. |
| 76s | After 5 seconds of not taking damage on DPS and Tank heroes and two |
| 79s | and a half seconds for support heroes, they will regenerate 20 HP per second. |
| 84s | Now, I think that this will result in Genji spamming a little bit |
| 87s | less of “I need healing” in game, but I think I might be too optimistic. |
| 91s | I need healing. |
| 92s | Damage heroes disrupt enemies healing received by 20% for 2 seconds. |
| 96s | There is no minimum damage requirement to activate the passive, |
| 99s | which means that in theory you can have the entire enemy team affected by it. |
| 103s | Imagine playing heroes like Mei |
| 105s | when everybody from the enemy team is grouped up in front of you. |
| 108s | The passive doesn't stack as it's capped at 20%, but you can refresh its duration. |
| 112s | A ton of fresh changes and there is no way of knowing how the meta will be. |
| 115s | But innovating and finding the best strategy |
| 118s | should give you an upper hand and help you win more games. |
| 120s | Hello. I'm Eskay. |
| 122s | I play Overwatch too much and I'm here |
| 124s | to tell you about the season nine competitive rework. |
| 127s | First off, |
| 129s | the card system is gone Instead, you're going to see your rank update |
| 132s | after every game and you'll see exactly how much you've won or lost. |
| 135s | Also, gone is the confusion. |
| 137s | Why have I won more games than I've lost, but I'm lower than where I started? |
| 140s | That doesn’t make any sense. |
| 142s | Well, now, if you take a look at the green or red arrows below your updated rank |
| 146s | after a game, it'll tell you exactly why you've gained or lost more than usual. |
| 151s | For example, maybe you're on a huge win streak. |
| 153s | That means you'll get a little more rank for winning than you usually would. |
| 156s | And it's going to show you with the green arrow right below, |
| 159s | Top players also have something to grind for. |
| 161s | There's a new rank |
| 162s | above Grandmasters called Champion, ranging from Champ 5 through Champ 1. |
| 166s | With Champ 1 being so high rated that we might not even see anyone hit it |
| 170s | this season. |
| 171s | If there's one thing |
| 171s | you absolutely need to know, it's that ranks are going to be soft reset. |
| 176s | Your first ten matches of the season, |
| 177s | you'll be in placements and winning or losing can give you huge gains and losses. |
| 181s | Wedding comp games in season nine will also give us a new currency |
| 185s | that we can use to buy |
| 185s | jade weapons will only be able to earn the currency for a year. |
| 189s | After that, all the points will turn into gold weapons. |
| 191s | Okay. Bye. |
