Big new PTR patch with a rework of Lucio. His aura radius is reduced from 30m to 10m, but now it's visible to him and his team, and his heal and speed boost are both buffed 50%. He gets a free 30% speed increase while wall riding, plus an extra boost when he jumps off a wall. Finally, his projectiles are a bit faster. Tested it a bit, and it feels extremely different to play, but potentially satisfying? That boost when jumping off a wall means, as far as I've found, you can no longer ride around an outside corner, because you're pushed away from the structure, however since it stacks with amp it up, you can do crazy shit like jump over the wall around point A in Eichenwald when respawning as a defender. 
Also, Eichenwald now has an extra corridor connecting the health pack room on the left of the bridge choke (from defender's view) to the little tiny tunnel there on the left, meaning a Mei wall can no longer fully block that choke. However, that tunnel is a crazy kill room for scatters and grenades.
 
Edit: Also your progress towards capping a point on 2CP maps are counted as tie-breakers now, which means if you get completely shut down on point A on attack, the previously defending team will instantly win the game by touching the point uncontested. Caught everybody by surprise both times I saw it happen. 

We really need unranked MM.

That's a problem in most modern multiplayer games. Rank is a shitty stress factor that brings out the worst in people and segregates friends of varying skill levels. Want to play without a useless icon next to your name? Here's our other gamemode with a completely different ruleset, not even remotely similar to the one that's fun.
Sorry for the rant, I've just grown to loathe what I consider the worst addition to one of my favourite genre of games.
Unranked. Hidden mmr. Same ruleset. People would be playing all kinds of maps I'm sure.

Your post wrote off everyone's critique of the map because of your personal opinion of how the map plays and an assumption of people's playtime of the map.
In a community where a cycle of playtesting and feedback is vital to create experiences that are fun and functional to all, your comment was not helpful.

Holy shit, a CSGO map set in Italy? Wow.

Played my first 4 placement matches last night and lost them all. 
So many players who just solo one character and complain about the team setup whilst playing a character which probably isn't suited to the map.
Had a guy playing Rein who would charge in alone whilst we were all dead, use his ult and die, and then complain saying he had a lack of backup.
It's really infuriating. Placement matches are always shit and I seems to always get the trolls/stubborn/brain dead people on my team

Oh I wish Blizzky would do something about trolls and griefers. So many smurfs playing Hanjob/Widow/Ginju/Sombrero-only accounts and throwing the match if asked to switch. :/

Just finished Night in the Woods. Fantastic game, and probably the closest I've ever felt to recognizing the lives of characters in a piece of fiction. Absolute best writing of any game imo.

My god. Played my last 4 games last night. 3 of them had 4+ dps on my team. Only 2 of my placement matches didn't have people leave midgame or less than 4 dps's.
Final SR after my placement : 1430 (down from 2300). 
This is gonna be bruuuuuuuutal trying to dig myself out of this hole.
 

...Hmmm DPS players and snipers who can't get picks 

It's like there's a DDOS going on, except instead of just internet connection requests it's a bunch of shitty players.

I had a bunch of quitters too. In one case we had our last pick be genji when we needed support then we still managed to win 2-0 rounds in illios then the same genji DROPS OUT. BWAAAAAAAA
 
 

I played a match today where I played Reinhardt and at the end had the most eliminations on my team. Have a guess which team lost.

Lost 7, 1 draw and 2 wins. Ended at 2700 ish last season and placed 2460. So i am happy. Had so many trolls on my placement matches. This one tracer kept running around but not shooting. Only using her ult. So we lost by alot.

Orisa is really fun, in theory. Her kit is totally the kind of stuff I love, too, as a Heavy with lots of utility. Too bad I can only play her against bots rn, because in live games somebody else always loads first and chooses her and then fucks around all match, clearly without ever actually reading her abilities. In like two months I look forward to getting to play her against humans.

Her kit looks great, I'm liking it a lot

Orisa is so cool, really liking the hero on the PTR! Now release Doomfist also!

7 games a week to maintain my SR.. Wow.. No, that's not happening. We're talking minimum 3 hours per week, I don't have that time. You keep alienating me, decision makers at Blizzard
