This week Andres and Rob discuss the importance of making hero swaps and adjusting to the battle. News & Patch Notes: *Teaser Photo for new Support? https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/750736158624215040 *Reconnection Patch soon: http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20745636360#post-5 *PATCH NOTES: Sudden Death Times Adjusted by map to be shorter Misc. Bug fixes with Zarya’s damage, Reaper’s Shadowstep, Winston’s Melee during Ulti, etc. Top 500 Icon randomly showing up no longer happens If you rejoin/reconnect to a game you left in competitive, you no longer automatically receive a loss. (Note: you must rejoin before the match concludes) You won’t get a leaver penalty for rejoining maps after disconnecting. If you disconnect/leave a match more than 3 times, you’ll be receive the leaver penalty regardless. NOTHING on receiving drastically less XP when opponents leave still. Kaplan did say this is an issue.http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20745596258#post-3 *Time Bank System to Escort/Hybrid in Season 2: http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20745686750#post-8 *New Hero Announcement July 21st:https://comiccon2016.sched.org/event/7f28/behind-the-scenes-of-overwatchs-newest-hero   Special Thanks: Scientist Level Patrons: Brian K, Eric S, and Blackbyrd thanks again for your generous pledges for the Scientist Level of support, when your payment clears we’ll get started on your perks! Also thanks to our brand new Patrons this week: Steven B, Alex L, Michael P, & Harrison F!   TOPIC 1: Competitive Discussion *How the matchmaker feels *Team collaboration *Main stuff we like *Main stuff we don’t like *TOPIC 2: Making Adjustments >Email from Patron Eric S.   Hero Strawpoll: We’d like to go in depth into this kind of strategy for specific heroes.
