With Blizzcon on the horizon, news is pretty sparse, but Halloween Terror 2017 has started! Changes to Junkenstein’s Revenge (including a new mode), and some new skins are what we get this year. Jaa finds it a bit underwhelming, but is hopeful for future events. Additionally, the latest patch affects ultimates big time. Players will need to be very careful of when they deploy.

Also, we talk about Activision’s forcast being downgraded for the first time in nine years, and surprisingly, it’s due to Overwatch league. Oh, did we mention that Kinder from Fragging Out Podcast was joining us? It was awesome! We also talk about a Lucio nerf that was a bug, new Blizzcon Winston skin, and more.
