Tons of posts, a background in FPS server code design, spamming emojis , and trying to fit whatever solution you got into the current trends of upcoming changes.
The analogy I use is that if a boulder is rolling down a hill. It’s a lot easier to nudge it to the left or the right, than to get it to go back up the hill.
So I usually focus on “providing a solution to where devs were already headed”
I very much agree with making some big changes to Repair Pack. I personally think that the ability in its current form is one of Brig’s biggest problems right now. For one thing, its range is way too long. It feels really out-of-place in relation to her overall design, but somehow everything else has been trying to balance around it, instead of the other way around.
I even sat down recently and tried to figure out how to address as many of the ability’s problems as I could think of, coming up with a rough idea of a rework: My take on a Brigitte (Repair Pack) rework idea
So you have a contribution being one of the people who sent Mei to compete with Bastion in terms of worst characters in the game? By asking for a sledgehammer on her on multiple posts on every aspect of her kit? And you didn’t ask any compensation along with those overkill nerfs? But why? this is so sad…
Oh gotcha. I actually didn’t know the range rn. But I agree, tone down the range and give her back some HP and some shield so that she can actually brawl again.
Because I thought it would be possible to make it so Mei fell out of high tier meta, but was still decent at midtier and low tier. All while maintaining the core of her playstyle.
I was wrong.
OWL has a death grip on Mei, even in her heavily nerfed status, she’s still got a decent pickrate in OWL.
So now I’m convinced the only way Mei is getting out of this, is if OWL can’t use her as the equivalent of a “Third Tank”.
I don’t mind shifting her from relying so much on CC. but giving her 8 straight nerfs on every aspect of her kit with 0 compensation on top of it really destroys the character. She is a throwpick right now and can’t fulfill her job as a dps, a worse McCree
I don’t see why she can’t get buffs as a dps? Just make her alternate fire feel better to use aka reduce the cast time, look on her current ammo consumption on primary aka make it a little more forgiving, revert the cryo nerf and she’d be fine again. They won’t rework her as a tank in the following months, so she needs to have some damage power in her kit if she lost all the cc she had
Definitely agree 100% with you. Even though I have like 2 minutes on the hero, that also probably being on mystery heroes, I absolutely hate when Blizzard destroys the feel of the hero and their playstyle. Essentially destroying their identity.
Yup. I was a Symmetra main and they did it to her. And it really feels like they are doing the same to Brigitte.
The devs obviously want OW to be more and more into a generic FPS game. Which means I will play less and less of it. I started playing OW when it came out specifically because it wasn’t like any other FPS game.
