This is a tremendous balance oversight by the balance team.
Deathwing power is balanced by the lack of heals/shield from teammates, but in qm with no heal/support matches, deathwing has literally 0 downside. Its like making chogall count as single hero.
Every match I have been in with deathwing has has a healer so far
And Iām not convinced that he would be OP in games with no healers, since he canāt hearth back for health. He would definitely be stronger though. He should still probably limited to healer only games.
Just pick one. Your game has no healer/support because no one, including you, chose to take one for the team. Itās the direct result of your action. Therefore, you totally deserved it.
That is the dumbest thing i ever heard. Do you even know how QM works? 60%+ of the QM games do not have healers, yet they are balanced by making sure the other team does not have one either. Also QM is played by more people than rest of the game mode combined.
You are saying 60% of the majority of hots should be screwed by broken hero instead of just fixing the hero and make sure his weakness (which is even part of his hero description) is actually relevant?
As Iāve said, you run into this problem because you didnāt pick a healer/support. Even if, hypothetically speaking, your number is correct (which I highly doubt that). The only thing it shows is that youāre a not a victim, youāre the perpetrator.
Sounds like you got out-played in one game and decided to come to the forums to raise hell. Deathwing is far from OP. My team has raped him pretty much every game heās showed up in.
And how would you āfixā Deathwing so that heās not broken in this particular subset of QM games while maintaining his balance in the competitive ranked games where players will pick a tank and heals?
Look, Iām sympathetic. I hate 5v5 assassin, no-healer games too. They suck and Iād love to see them removed from the algorithm. But Deathwing isnāt the problem. Yes, heās strong. Heās supposed to be. Heās got huge weaknesses too. Everything he does is telegraphed. You can sidestep his AoE easily. Engage him like you would a ChoāGall. You kill off his teammates and if he gets out of position, you punish him for it.
Heās probably going to get a slight numbers nerf, but honestly, heās in a pretty good place right now. He requires skill to play well which cannot be said for all heroes out there.
