I have a question about buffing/nerfing, as we will most likely see the topics on Brigitte when she goes LIVE on competitive mode.

Who’s opinion is the most valuable to you when it comes to this. Is it the pro’s and Overwatch League - or is it people like me, who play this game daily in ladder and enjoy seeing more heroes used than just Tracer, Genji, Winston, D.va etc?

We recently saw Sombra getting a buff. A deserved one. Now you’re nerfing her within 3 weeks of her buff. Not much time to adapt, learn counterplay etc. Is it because the pro’s talked to you about it?

Are you concerned with the fact that buffing all these heroes, now Reaper and Mei, is hurting Reinhardt? He’s been a victim of powercreep over the past years, with all the mobility tanks generally outclassing him and a lot of his counters being buffed (Reaper, Mei, Doomfist, Junkrat).
Do you find this concerning? Do you think Brigitte can alleviate this in any way?

Ok thanks everyone, we have to wrap this one up!

The good news is Brigitte is rolling out to the live game as we speak so you guys should be able to just go play her!

As always, keep the feedback coming!

Shame we didn’t get to see adressing on the buff/nerf situation.

446

pls tell if there is a possibility of a melee dps in future :frowning:

447

True, but some of us still have to wait another 5-6 weeks to play her competitively. :sob:

What situation would that be?

So you’ve translated “den är paj” to “this is pie”. Isn’t it suppose to be “it’s broken”

This Q&A was amazing!
I absolutely loved it!

TY for the reply, Geoff! Much appreciated!

Are you going to reduce the impact D.va Has on the meta? I personally think she can do too much. Damage, Mobility and Defense, She has all three of those and is not terrible at any of them. Other Tanks have at least one of those areas that they are weak in, but D.va seems solid in all 3 areas.

Hooray an actual mention of an Ana buff. I know it will be a while but if she becomes viable, the support category would be in an almost perfect spot.

It’s exactly because the pros were so adamant about it breaking the game for them. Blizzard has said time and again that they balance the game for everyone, not exclusively one group or another.

Everyone’s opinion is valuable to them as long as it is formed in a constructive way and not " whine whine whine. i want it MY way." while you throw a hissy fit. The Dev team has shown time and again that they respond to constructive criticisms as well as appreciate it

This was a really good idea. Thanks for doing this.

Next time you might want to have someone clean unrelated posts out beforehand, and lock responses to only dev team once the Q&A starts to cut down clutter.

Lol people still thinking she isn’t viable

Considering how many new “mashup” characters are coming out, do you plan to fix the old, tried-and-true characters along the way so they maintain a spot of balance?

…Yes I’m still talking about the absolute inconsistency that is Reinhardt’s charge/pin and his ult in general.
