well, we know at least one member of the balance team is gm, but even then just being gm means little.
the issue for the balance team is that they know what the intended “philosophy” and “goals” are, so they view balance differently from us.
but overall there is the feeling most of them don’t even understand the game. I knew the tanks were not in good hands when they kept calling hammond an off tank and sigma a main tank back in the day. It’s like they, like people who don’t understand the game, think that shield = main, when that’s not what it was.
i mean, sigma and double shield were a thing because sigma was an off tank with a rein shield. All they had to do was nerf THAT, but they were stupid and constantly went after orisa
also this is personal but they killed orisa for me, she was my main and her new kit just doesn’t gel with me. And i know the old kit could’ve worked because Ramattra has a similar flow and would be my new main if he wasn’t locked
Been here since OW1 launch well on another account before I wanted a cooler name linked to my Xbox account and it was never this toxic as it is now. Kind of sad.
my only experience with parrying has been like… with blocking and whatnot. idk what that would look like as a projectile LMAOO
oh i guess i just needed to keep reading lol im not very sober at the moment sorry
yeah i think i personally have this problem where i just assume all balance discussion is happening at my elo (masters) or higher for some reason, i really need to stop doing that.
not even on any skill elitism type shi i don’t consider myself to be super super good. i just automatically assume balancing looks at the higher ranks only, so you have a good point there.
i don’t like the idea of removing role passives from specific characters exclusively, that kinda defeats the point of having a passive due to the role you picked. if that’s the case, maybe we need to look at the support passive in terms of changing it all together to something else?
yayy compromise!! this is why i love you
i guess it depends on the nitty gritty of it but this seems to be in line with what blizzard has done in the past!!
i’m curious. if you had to remove the support passive as it is now and replace it with something else, what would you suggest?
Why is this post flagged? He has a legit concern. Have we become this toxic that speaking out against a role you hate facing suddenly can get false flagged?
I’ve seen plenty of threads talking about nerfing down supports which don’t get flagged. Most of them don’t call the role op, or start ragging on the players of the role.
They need to show who flagged the post at the very least, or have a limit on how many post one person can flag. While majority’s opinion can be right most of the time, it isn’t always. Majority votes can be used to silence someone too and it isn’t right. But regardless, there’s too much of “nErF sUpPoRtS” threads already, so I don’t feel bad that this post got flagged even though it shouldn’t.
