Not everyones opinions are formed off of Samito

which is why brig is so powerful and most low ranks donât understand why. She can deal with so much, she has peel, pocket, aoe heals and damage thatâs weak in 1v1 but adds up surprisingly fast during brawls. She can pretty much answers to anything a team can throw her way, she only struggles with range, but this is an objective based game so no mattr what youâll have to enter her zone

No ofc not anytime someone says a support is overtuned they are apparently either
a) A Samito cult member
b) A âsaltyâ DPS or flanker main
oh yes those are totally the only people that have issues with characters like brig, moira and bap.
Those three have clear design issues.
And itâs not even about op. Orbs arenât op, but theyâre still an awul design of an ability. IF and brigâs entire kit are problematic and will stay problematic no matter the number changes.
Brig needs an actual rework and if should be changed into something else

A lot of people on here have been asking for a rework, both supports and non supports. Blizzard just doesnât wanna.
I disagree. He is extremely vocal about his hate for support characters. And since heâs âProâ with a decent sized following, he has an influence on a lot of people - including the devs who seem to always nerf characters Samito doesnât approve of. They FINALLY give Bap a reasonable buff, and SURPRISE SURPISE, Samito is not happy about it and wantâs the buff reversed - just like they did with Brig. That dude is literal cancer for this game.
Geoff said they consistently discuss reworking her to a tank in OW2, which is only a few months away
I think they nerfed her HP to leave her in a non-OP state while they work on her internally
source please? cause iâm actually curious
I know itâs crazy but maybe these heroes get nerfed because they are overtuned and Samito has a good understanding of balance so he says that
Meanwhile all the other pros agree too but I donât see you complaining about them
LOL
How is it reasonable to almost double the size of a heroâs ult when he just got an ult charge buff, an HPS buff, and a gun fire rate buff a week ago and has been rising in pickrate like crazy
He was already made super strong after his recent set of buffs and did NOT need such a huge ult buff on top of it
i do honestly think the ult buff was good, itâs the rest that he didnât need
Personally I wouldnât put too much stock in it.
Overwatch Reddit AMA from 2 months ago, here is a thread with a lot of the answers
ye samito is the only player that both plays the game, and is capable of creating their own opinion.
Yes donât put stock in something the head of Hero Design/Balance says theyâve been âtalking a lot about, especially as weâre working on OW2â and âcomes up pretty consistently in conversationsâ
He is not a pro right now by any means; he is just a content creator/streamer
I mean thereâs hundreds of other steamers too, a lot of which have a bigger audience than Samito. And if they balanced the game solely off of Samtio, they would never have buffed Brig/Bap in the first place.
I mean⌠so do thousands of other people. Just look on the forums where people have been asking for Bap nerfs before he even said anything. He is just of many voices; it is just his happens to be more vocal and proactive than most

No because they do a lot of conversations about balance changes and other features. It also doesnât mean the changes are likely to happen, itâs just a possibility. Like Roadhog DPS, I highly doubt that will ever happen considering the character model/hitbox.
Game designers talk a lot about changes, it happens in every game and the vast majority of those changes never happen.
Baptiste is highkey insane
Literally a brig profile.
Also top 4 most played heroes are supports, quit trying to play the victim card.
Name says it all
