Hero of My Storm
Overwatch rewards in Nexus Challenge 2.0 are detailed, a netcode discussion prompted by another game, and the Overwatch event cycle....
Having an incredible and well executed event drop on us last week, it’s no surprise that there isn’t much news this week. Mike and Jaa cover the lastest PC meta report, confirming some of what we already know, but also unveiling some hidden bias in the community. Additionally some of the data shows that Blizzard really needs to work on making Defense heroes viable, and the answer isn’t by making changes to defense heroes. We also discuss a little Heroes of the Storm. There is an update on the way that includes new skins for Zarya, adding Genji as a hero, and also playing in an expanded Hanamura map.
We talk some recent bug fixes, and also some changes coming to Genji. Finally we get into our community discussion this week, asking if SR for season 5 should be reset.
