General Updates: Comms/Ping Updates

Praise

• "Praise" added as a new default function of the Comms Wheel.
• Tapping the Comms Wheel button now tells your allies how awesome they are with Praise voice lines that are unique to each hero.
• By default, the Comms button functionality now mimics the functionality of the Ping Button, meaning there is a very short delay (.18 seconds by default) between pressing the button and the wheel opening.
• This new functionality can be disabled in the Options with the setting "Enable Quick Press Praise". The delay can be modified with the setting "Comms Wheel Press Delay".
• This short delay is immediately canceled when any mouse movement or right stick movement is detected, for players that want to flick to a Comms Wheel option.
• Praise can be assigned to the Comms Wheel in the Options, but it is not assigned to the Comms Wheel by default.

New Contextual Voice Lines and Functionality

• Heroes now emit voice lines that suggest setup locations to their team when players use neutral pings during the Setup Phase while defending in Attack/Defend modes.
• Heroes now have more specific internal monologue voice lines for when they request healing and no supports are available to help.
• Heroes on defense in Escort and Hybrid are now more likely to notice when a payload is being pushed by a sneaky player and call it out with a voice line.
• Heroes will now automatically call out to their team with a voice line when they detect an invisible hero nearby (Sombra).
• This uses the same cooldown and tuning as when heroes detect Widowmaker aiming at them and warn their allies with "sniper" voice lines.
• Heroes can aim at an allied Jetpack Cat and ping her to request a pick up at their location with a voice line.
• The "On My Way" Comms now prints an ETA in seconds in text chat when aiming at an allied hero based on the speaker's speed.

Bug Fixes

• The Ping System's spam protection now works in the Waiting For Players phase of a match.
• Supports no longer hear the healing ping sound effect when another support on their team pings an injured ally.
• Thanking a support for the "Not So Thankless" challenge should now more reliably count for challenge completion.

General Update: Advanced Info Panel

• Added all 5 new heroes.
• All Cleanses in the Advanced Info Panel have been separated between Lesser Cleanses which are much more common and Greater Cleanses which are more rare and can cleanse Stuns. The definitions of these keywords have been updated.
• Added the following new Keywords to abilities where relevant:
  • Aura - An Energy ability that gains resource whenever dealing damage or healing.
    • Example: Mizuki's Remedy Aura
  • Break - Removes Tether effects.
    • Examples: Jetpack Cat's Catnapper, Lifeweaver's Life Grip, Reinhardt's Charge, Roadhog's Chain Hook
  • Displace - Prevents a hero from taking actions while moving them, interrupts Channeled abilities, and is not Cleansable.
    • Examples: Doomfist's Rocket Punch, Reinhardt's Charge, Roadhog's Chain Hook
  • Heat - Ceases to function when the Heat gauge is full and cools off automatically when not firing.
    • Examples: Emre's Siphon Blaster, Orisa's Augmented Fusion Driver
  • Immobilize - Removes control of hero movement.
    • Examples: Hazard's Downpour, Lucio's Soundwave, Wrecking Ball's Piledriver, Zarya's Graviton Surge
  • Tether - Attaches a hero to a location or hero within a radius until the tether ends.
    • Examples: Jetpack Cat's Lifeline, Jetpack Cat's Catnapper, Mauga's Cage Fight, Mizuki's Binding Chain

Competitive Play Updates

Rank Reset

• With 5 new heroes joining the fray, alongside several new perks and balance changes for existing heroes, this soft reset is designed to put players on an even playing field and give them a chance to climb in a chaotic new environment where everyone is learning together!
• All ranks in Role Queue and Open Queue in Competitive Play have been reset to Unranked, and all players will need to complete their respective 10 placement matches for each role.
• Hero Skill Ratings have also been soft reset.
• This Rank Reset did not change the Rank Distribution, so players can expect to see a similar number of players in each Rank once everyone is calibrated again.
• Rewards:

• Galactic Weapon Variants join the Gold and Jade Weapon Variants as Legacy Rewards.

• Sort By Rank:
  • The Top 500 Challenger leaderboard can now be sorted by Rank.
    • Rewards are awarded based on Challenger Score.

  • Placing in Top 500 Challenger during the Rise of Talon Season 1, 2, or 3 will grant the Conquest Top 500 Challenger player icon.

Social Links Update

• We've been working to expand the tech that allows our Community Team to add social links of prominent players to the leaderboard.
  • Updates in Season 21 should allow for considerably more players to have their social links added to this feature.
• We've discovered that some older Battlenet accounts without a birthdate set are not able to view social links.
  • This feature is designed to be for players that are 18+, but the lack of a birthdate is currently preventing these older accounts from viewing the social links.
  • We're continuing to investigate solutions to this problem and we apologize to those players that are unable to use this feature at this time.
