I'm not sure how I'm just noticing this (was this always there?). Are there any other Wuyang skins that have this problem or just this one?
I understand that 3D modellers don't model the entire body especially areas that are obscured by clothing but you would think they would playtest this and extend the torso mesh by just a little bit more to account for this.
Title. Last season, supports like Brig and Wuyang had good AoE healing and fights could last a while. With the new season, it seems like the devs have made sweeping changes that have overall nerfed survivability across most heroes except for a select few (e.g., Reaper and Mei). Now, most heroes have large windows of vulnerability and can get insta-gibbed quite easily.
Common DPS picks I’m noticing are Burn Reaper, Freeze Mei, Double Trap Junkrat, Double Slide Soj, Sprinting Soldier and AP Freja. For the tanks, their survivability seems to be mostly reduced (except for Doomfist maybe).
Supports have been affected the most IMO. Juno is now godlike due to TTTG and Blink Boosts, Mercy with a Flash Heal centric build becomes impossible to kill, JPC is amazing as usual and Lucio got much needed buffs and changes. Ana’s Dash Boots were gutted, Zenyatta’s tankiness was nerfed, Brigitte got her pack healing build nerfed, and Kiri’s Two-Zu was straight up deleted.
My main, Wuyang, received the most changes out of every hero and unfortunately, he now only has one fun build. The build is quite memey and leaves him super vulnerable, so I would never use it in ranked. Most of his other builds just make him a slightly better version of base game Wuyang, whereas other characters get really transformative powers, so I am finding him quite weak and I am personally not having fun playing Stadium.
Overall, I’m just finding heroes die a lot faster now (possibly due to TTTG being broken). Having to face a Reaper and Mei combo every match (who never die) is also leaving a bad taste in my mouth, and I’m saying this as someone who mains Mei on DPS lol.
What are your on opinions on this meta? Do you think the changes the devs made the meta and gameplay loops healthier or do you think they just enabled an alternate form of degeneracy?
Ana, Mercy, and Baptiste's "Detective" skins are China-only event rewards, but will be sold globally later. All skins (including Pharah's) are event rewards in China.
Hey everyone,
I'm in my final year of CS at an Ottawa university, finishing up my last co-op this fall and graduating after that. I'm a second-degree student so I've been at this a while and I would really appreciate any advice.
I had two co-ops as a software developer, 4 months at a startup (remote) and 8 months at a big bank (Toronto). Both went well on paper. The startup talked about keeping in touch for future opportunities, and my bank team also verbally told me they wanted to hire me after graduation and the bank gave me a return offer for a fall co-op, which I originally ignored, since I'd planned to graduate and go full-time in the fall.
At the startup, I reached out about doing my final co-op there this summer. The founder was enthusiastic and actually floated the idea of bringing me on full-time, but said he needed to check with my former supervisor first. The relationship with that supervisor was... complicated.
Although he rated me highly on my school's mandatory co-op assessment, I had a feeling he wasn't actually keen on having me back. Sure enough, the return offer got sabotaged. I got on a call with my former supervisor afterwards and he said he told the founder "no" because I had no "specialization", which felt like an excuse to me. The founder told me there was "no space on the team" with a vague promise they'd reach out when they expand. I didn't buy it.
At the bank, when I circled back about full-time, I was told budget constraints had wiped out the headcount they'd been planning for me. I felt like I'd shot myself in the foot by ignoring the earlier return offer.
By some stroke of luck, the bank apparently assumed I missed the original offer and re-sent it, this time for a co-op in Montreal this fall. I talked to my manager and he suggested I take it to gamble on the chance of being placed on a team that actually has budget to convert me to full-time. So I accepted.
As for where I'm at now, I've been applying to jobs and managed to get two interviews for FSWEP positions (Data Science roles from a pool submission years ago). Passed the first-round for one, but failed the second-round and struck out on the other.
Is there anything I can do this summer to put myself in a better position before the co-op starts?
While I'm doing the co-op in Montreal, what should I be actively doing to maximize my chances of converting it to full-time, or landing something elsewhere?
Any advice for navigating the Canadian tech market right now, especially Ottawa/Montreal/Toronto?
After all this time as a second-degree student, I thought I was close to the finish line but it keeps moving. Just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can.
Thanks in advance.
