Tassadar got reworked, OP for a couple of months Cassia got reworked, first underpowered so lets buff her to max, OP for 5 months? what was it already? then finally balanced Gazlowe, already in a good place after rework but people found it difficult to plan 2s ahead so lets buff him Dva: Reworked gets OP for the following 4 to 6 months
It’s kind of like perfect balance is hard, and Blizzard prefers shooting high over shooting low. When you shoot low, you tend to overcompensate like what happened to Cassia. It’s easier to whittle down than build up.
And before you poo-poo the balance team for the occasional slip up when it comes to… basically whole new kits, don’t forget that they’ve been kicking it with huge balance patches. Like, a third of the cast is frequently getting all new talents and buffs to play around with. They’ve done a fantastic job breathing new life into characters.
That being said, I believe they are being to slow to adjust heroes. Or rather, they’re decided not to make major changes downwards. Rather take things down slowly.
Which I personally disagree with. And i’m sure plenty of people do also.
