Changes Are Coming for Nearly All of Overwatch’s Support Heroes
There’s some bad news for Overwatch players tired of Mercy’s repeated changes and nerfs. Blizzard will make changes to Mercy along with four of Overwatch’s five other support characters in the next patch.
Announced by Lead Designer Geoff Goodman in a forum post yesterday, the changes are meant to keep the support characters competitive with one another. In addition to Mercy, Ana, Brigitte, Lucio, and Moira are all getting changes. That means Zenyatta is the sole support character who will remain unchanged, with Goodman explaining that Zenyatta’s “doing his job well as a hybrid damage/healer, and being able to provide discord orb for your team will always be welcome.”

Satisfactory Is A Factory Sim From The Creators of Goat Simulator
Few things are as perplexing to me as the gaming world’s fascination with menial simulation games. Farming Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator, and even Street Cleaning Simulator are all real games that people play for dozens of hours. Goat Simulator, the game that majorly put Coffee Stain Studios on the map following the modest success of their tower defense meets FPS hybrid series, Sanctum, was a nearly direct parody of those very games.
Now, with Satisfactory, the studio has seemingly come full-circle. Instead of being a parody on realistic simulation games, it sprints in the other direction by letting players craft intricate and elaborate factories that slowly expand and grow in both size and complexity. It’s a bit tedious, sure, but it’s also a bit remarkable in its own way.
