Questions On 17.5 Mesa.

[SoulSpectre]

So we all know Peacemaker got a rework. My question is: how bad is negative range on Mesa now? Should I have legendary sniping skills to use her ult at negative range now? 80% of Mesa builds pre 17.5 have negative range on Mesa (if you know how to build her), and mine has been formaed so much, I think I need to re-forma some more for these changes.

Another question is her Peacemaker animation. Since we only get a cone for our shots, does this mean that the 'spread' animations are gone now? What I mean by this is: Mesa used to have some animations shooting left and right at the same time, or the no-look pistols shooting enemies behind her, or the left arm aiming at the left enemy, while the right arm aiming the enemy at the back, etc. I really liked those animations and it will be sad if DE removes them just for the sake of having this cone rework.

P.S. I am at work now so I can't check it out, so no comments like: 'Why don't you stop being a scrub and check it out yourself?' :D

The reticle is affected by range so I believe you may need some Mtn Dew and some Doritos to quick zoom sum nubs.

 

Edit: Doesn't seem range affects it by much at all.

I have a theory that negative range will be good for Mesa in some ways, because it allows you to select your targets more. Lower range lets you shoot the enemies you want to shoot, not the ones the game wants you to shoot. This promotes a much faster playstyle, where you'll be popping in and out of Peacemaker very quickly as opposed to standing in one place for long periods of time.

 

Haven't tested it yet, so this is still just speculation.

Range Doesn't affect the Pacemaker......

 

......the rework balanced her a bit more than she used to be (the 360* camping that makes people lazy)..... but Wait there's more!!!

And I was referring to the ult reticle that is affected by range mods. :)
