Who should be reworked (Poll)

General Discussion

tbf Tass was fundamentally degenerate
Inflated winrate from being a Tracer shieldbot
With how low his damage was and with what they did to his Q there wasn’t much salvaging it anymore.

You missed “or have very bad talent tree” in my comment.

23

Both of them were useless. They did a good job.

24

Oh there would have been plenty of ways to save at least the concept, rework him in a way that didn’t create a brand new hero who just so happens to have a wall.
but instead they took the easy way out like cowards, kinda like every rework Overwatch has ever done.

You know… except making them unrecognizeable to the people who actually found enjoyment in them.

26

Oh yeah, it’s better to not rework useless heroes because few players find them “enjoyable” than make these heroes viable.

27

Settle down both of y’all, whether or not those reworks were good or not, they happened. I’m not saying any characters need a rework in that manner, but it’s inevitable it will happen.

  1. Whitemane (Full revert of last rework)
  2. Tyrande (Full revert of last rework)
  3. Ana (more some talent shift to re-establish tension between Dart and Grenade build, plus making Grenade talents more interesting)

Don´t really know who to put as 4 and 5.

No, she was broken.

No, she was even less playable

She’s fine. But maybe she needs some talent buffs, not sure.

Because if there’s going to be nothing left that those players enoyed and it’s goign to be unrecognizeable, why not ust make a new hero with the kit that would ahve bene a rework?
Answer? Because lazy

31

Or you know cause 90% including their main art director was fired/left

But ok

32

AS if the game needed a generic Mage with skill shot… or… whatever Gazlowe is supposed to be.

33
  1. Valeera, only good for silencing people atm.
  2. Genji, half the talents are garbage.
  3. Morales, unimpactful and simply not fun to play.
  4. Kerrigan, needing 2 skills for a stun is outdated design.
  5. Nova, lacks direction and is simply meh.

Also popular opinion: Gazlowe, Whitemane and Tassadar reworks are actually fine. Dunno about Tyrande, every iteration of her has been super boring to play. I just assume that it’s her thing now.

What? Why Zeratul?..

Weird. Wasn’t aware that they changed Butcher’s name to “No one”

Lulnara.

Because that would have done nothing to deal with the issue of Tassadar’s shield

Talent reworks:

  • Abathur
    • Locust talents feel near useless in higher ranks
    • Symbiote talents are practically the only viable talents
    • Heroes enabled purely just from Symbiote is a problem for a lot of players
    • Monstrosity desperately needs something to contest Ultimate Evolution
  • Artanis
    • Talent tree isn’t particularly bad, it’s just that there isn’t that many strong talents on most of his tiers
    • His lack of hard CC is okay in my eyes, as long as he has tools to survive and excel in other areas so he can be fairly compensated for the weakness I listed
Artanis ch...ch...ch...changes...

A hero that needs to wait to level 20 to be OP but is unuseful before and that absolute destroys comps if they make a mistake in draft is not a healty hero. He works but could work even better with a rework. Also has exactly the same trait as Nova.

Cleave Build is good as soon as level 4.

But yeah, that’s totally fair coughs in Naz

I seriously wish Naz had vile infection baseline but nerfed/adjusted of course, so it scaled properly.

I’ve said this on the forums for years, but people have always dismissed it. I really don’t like the design of Nazeebo, Vile Infection dominates his level 20’s (if you stack) and getting those stacks can encourage some bad and annoying playing habits in some Naz players.

Pleased to know I’m not the only one who thinks Kerrigan needs a rework. Although she got a rework about 3 (?) years ago, she still feels so old fashioned and is mostly picked in ranked on Shrines map.
