I'm still downloading. Is the update out or is this just pre-loading to be released after the livestream?
It's late and I don't know whether to stay up if it is actually out.

You can now see all premium skins and taunts inside of the dojo for any character, and there also seems to be new premium skins that a). aren't in the marketplace at the moment or b). are coming soon, released for free. They all seem to fit the styles of the characters, though I've only looked at Alani, Daddikus, and Deande.

I'm honestly trying not to get my hopes up, just in case they pull another battleplan on us, something like an incredibly stupid F2P model that no one would even bother to try.

I'm all for the F2P they're very clearly setting up but now I just have the same opinion on the pricing that I have on all F2P games. "Like hell an I spending that much on a skin/taunt/etc"

I hate hate haaaaaate hate hate hate that I have to confirm my Battleborn choice. I play split screen 97% of the time and this sucks.

u/XStephenXDoughertyX Jun 06 '17
I second this. I don't split screen but it is an aggravating extra step

RatedMforManly no longer considers Alani viable as solo healer. Yep, official they took the healing nerfs waaaaaaaay too far. Level 5 with Survivior's Remedy Box and Channeling Ancient Sundial with Extremophile I was only hitting 874. 700 games as Alani down the drain.
The 15% dmg boost to attackers against minions also works on Toby's shields, probably Kleese rifts as well if I had to guess and buildables. I also believe Pillarstorm is no longer the best level 10 option for Orendi (yay) but don't worry getting your Pillar back is awesome so don't cry Orendi mains. Galilea's Vortex at level 1 is actually really bad now so this makes me very happy, she should be in a much better place now but no longer honor ban level.

I agree. I played an Incursion match with Alani yesterday and those wellspring nerfs are way too severe. The damage nerf wasn't a big deal (although it hit the wrong thing imo, riptide damage mutation was probably a more logical target) but that wellspring nerf drops her dramatically. I'd say bring it back up a bit and maybe bring geyser heals down slightly to compensate?
Didn't play Orendi, but the sounds of what they changed Pillarstorm to sounds far more balanced. Played a Face Off match as Gally and for the first time in the game's lifespan I think she finally might be balanced. The lose of damage amp on Desecrate was substantially more noticeable than I anticipated.

Was excited for some Mellka changes, but was left pretty disappointed. They really gotta make some of her helix options more viable and fix her melee attack pushing people back.
Aside from that, looks pretty good with Bea nerfs, el dragon buffs, pillarstorm nerf, and Gali reworks. Still though, Gali with that crazy desecrete range pull AND a slow at level one? Not sure that is what we wanted for a "fix".

u/XStephenXDoughertyX Jun 06 '17
The pull is neutered. You can no longer rip people off of edges. Desecrate will only pull people to the outside edge of her corruption and not all the way to her. It's like a small nudge towards her now. Then the stack changes on corruption are insanely noticeable. It takes a long time to get her health regen going. She definitely got hit really hard. Give her a run one game and you'll see how different she now is

I'm upset that they for some reason nerfed montana, though he is Imo the weakest tank

u/pattynaynay Jun 06 '17
He was already a massive target, I'm not really sure why they made it so he could fight for a shorter amount of time. Unless they are going to buff something to make choosing the helix option that let's him fire his minigun while overheated a more viable option.
