So your not going to look at the season your not going to spit comp and quick play okay very cool
Overbuff statistics are only based on people with Open profiles. It ignores closed profile players. Those statistics are not reliable
True about Overbuff, but it spoke volumes more about Blizzard refusing to let the stats (not individual records) be available public for everyone to see and decide for themselves.
I thought that to until blizzard has said a few key things 1. “sigma and rein were over performing” “looks at overbuff”… Ummm why is there pick and win rate so high?
“Genji is fine statistically” has a perfect 50% win rate. Looks at overbuff oh…m
Like after a whike you REAAAALLLY gotta question just how important it is profiles be open, which don’t get me wrong because of how they do things it "Should’ theoretically be important. But like legit everything from the stars to the sun itself is telling us it’s not, we just don’t know how they do it exactly but every overbuff state in ow2 has lined up directly and perfectly with things blizzard has said/done. There’s SOMETHING going on there we just don’t know what it is.
Which is worth more money to the Blizzard finance department?
- $5 from a GM Top 500 Former OWL Pro
- $10 from a Bronze Nintendo Switch Player
I’ve been saying this needed to happen for almost 2 years on these forums.
Better late than never. Ashe is horrible for the health of the game, so this is a “W”.
Show me on the doll where the arrow hit you. I bet it was the face and you walked into it because you don’t think to check corners for sonics.
I mean, no, considering they literally had a patch that said “fixed a bug where Ashe did not gain ult charge while BOB was a active”
The name the game would have if high ranked games were actually fun and the game had a respectable twitch viewership is worth infinitely more than the money of bronze switch players.
So you’re saying Marketing is worth more to a company than Sales?
Nerfing B tier heroes caters to gold and below.
Keeping the game balanced keeps it’s reputation out of the mud, good players happy, esports successful, and rewards improvement. Not that hard to understand.

Since you’re not getting it, how about I make it perfectly clear for you.
The “real” reality is that OWL is basically a shambling corpse that bleeds money and hasn’t pulled in any profits since 2019, besides that now-dead $180M YouTube exclusivity contract and they are using Contenders teams to cover up the fact that multiple teams are actively suing them over how unprofitable it is. With 3 teams probably not existing by the end of the season. And probably the entire franchise model disbanded by 2024 when Microsoft takes over.
So the idea that the game has to be angled towards tournament meta, instead of mass market appeal with battle passes and cash shops, is kinda silly.
$10 from a Bronze player is worth more money to Blizzard than $5 from a Top500 GM players.
And a lot of people are having trouble adjusting to that new reality.
And even Top500 Streamers would prefer the game to have a more active playerbase size, since that helps them the most professionally.
(And that’s assuming Top500 Streamers even like constantly dealing with Sniper spam, when the vast majority don’t like it.)

Almost like the game has been horribly balanced for years! Shocking!!! Maybe if you could climb out of silver you’d be able to see how much game balance actually counts, unlucky.

This guy thinks everything revolves around Widow man it’s not worth it. Pretty sure he’d blame his parking ticket on Widowmaker.

The occasional shot little Timmy back in silver hits while shaking like a rabbit on ketamine haunts his dreams.

Almost like if you want a corporation to throw away something like $50 Million dollars to make a tiny fragment of less than 1% of it’s playerbase happier.
Buddy. Silver isn’t the majority of the playerbase.
subjectively stronger.
Thread over? Stop being delusional then. 
Ashe doesn’t need buffs.
Sincerely a gm1 
Actually terrible take
