He needs number changes imo. Both nerf and buffs.
and you concluded that with what exactly? 10 minutes of playtime on PTR against 6 random people?

Um… such as? Any suggestions to help convey your point? I like his numbers, myself. If they wanted, they could half his healing and double his damage, I would be down with that.
When you play the game for 2000 hrs. Numbers will say everyting.

But you’ve barely played the hero
Okay, Mason, why not translate what those numbers are saying. What is the issue, fam?

when i stop laughing ill tell ya. PepeLaugh
And what are these buff and nerds supposed to be?
That’s pretty vague, you can say that about every hero…
The guy doesn’t have the numbers because they clearly didn’t spend more than 3 seconds thinking before making this thread.

He could use buffs and nerfs… Enlighten please?
hah i check the wiki right after i woke up.
PTR doesn’t even have Baptiste playable in regular QP or comp gamemodes outside of custom games. I’d want to see a few hours of him in a proper game before this kind of balance judgement is made…
yea right. And where exactly were those numbers when they introduced brigitte into this game? Everyone seemed so convinced that she was balanced back then.
How about the mercy rework? Everyone considered it a good change until it hit live.
If playing against 6 random people or some random numbers were enough to determine what’s over or underpowered, we wouldn’t have had this much of a balancing mess every time.
Personally I would change how his exo boots work - hold spacebar instead of crouch.
Also IMO IF and AM should be swaped (with minor number tweak - 30% amplify instead of double and health capped at 25% instead of 10) Immortality works better as ult.
Otherwise it is good healer. Synergises nicely with Orisa and Bastion.
but i didnt. i think both brig and mercy was terrible.
no offense, but i’d rather wait and see in a coordinated environment as to how good or bad he is, before demanding buffs and nerfs in day 1 based on a random prediction on the forums.
im not demanding anything. its just my opinion.
rn i think his primary is kinda strong. meanwhile his secondary is meh.
his invincibility drone has too much hp meanwhile his burst heal is very weak.
he is more dps than main heals.
those are my opinions but they may change.
Mercy is still terrible, Brigitte I don’t know but I hear some complaints about her so I assume it’s mixed feelings for that hero.
As for Baptiste, I think it’s too soon to say whether the hero needs buffs and nerfs. The hero needs a little more time.
So you tested this hero in a lot of normal games of difficult players? Because from what I see, testing Baptiste against a bunch of other terrible Baptiste players and some random picks is hardly a proper test.
I have played the game since beta launch. But when Hammond was released, it was impossible to tell if he needed buffed or nerfed in any fashion because we needed to see how he did against normal comps and high tier comps overall.
So I am not sure how you could possibly be properly testing this hero when 99% of the player base can hardly test him in the correct environments.

Still to early to tell he didn’t played in the serious play.
