Can we just give Orisa incredibly hard nerfs already?

That’s the entire meta right now bud

I mean yeah, it’s quite ridiculous at the moment, we got heroes like Illari, Bastion, Orisa, Torbjörn, Zarya, Symmetra being a dominant brawl composition pick, Baptiste with overtuned lamp, and lifeweaver with over tuned numbers that need to be slightly reduced. It’s not a good look at all for overwatch to have these things be so dominant.

Especially since you’ll start to ask questions such as why put hours into demanding heroes such as Genji, Tracer, Sojourn, Hanzo, Widowmaker, Echo, D.va, Doomfist, Wreckingball, Winston, Kiriko, Ana, and Lucio when I can pick a hero who is much easier and a stronger pick overall?

Thats literally all Blizz needs to do to Orisa. Her abilities are on a short cd for how effective they are. Buff her fortify and nerf her abilities. Her survivability (fortify) isnt a problem at all but her abilities just make her unkillable in certain situations

She literally has a better sigma rock on a 6 second cooldown which is wild IMO.

buff tankiness on every tank except orisa and zarya, and tank role will be back to being fun.

To me she was always fine. I never understood why they reworked her but well… She was fun to play in Season 1. Now she’s a bit harder to kill and it sometimes takes 3 players to do so, depending on your teammates but I’m not sure I would want hardnerfs or another rework.

I’ll let people decide on this one. I simply don’t care what they do to her as long as she’s still playable :sweat_smile:.

Fighting the enemy tank and they swap orisa/zarya every time is a bit dull, fighting a rein, hog, queen or whatever is so much fun

Kinda off-topic but I can’t recall a time when I played Orisa when she wasn’t meta because she’s fun to play. Hell, I’ve never seen an actual Orisa main. Maybe giving her an interesting personality and a new kit to match would be better than just going for nerfs.

I think she’s fun to play personally, but the problem is playing into her as 70% of the tanks feels horrible.

They gotta pull power from Fortify, since its so boring of an ability, into her other two less boring ones.

Something like this:

It feels like she has an answer for everything you do when you’re not on Zarya.

Go flanker and ignore her completely or Kiriko/Ana/Bap/Lucio/Mercy and ignore her completely. Or go Zen and practise your headshots on her.

Are they…? I typically have success with Zarya/Monkey and if I’m on Orisa I find Sigma can be pretty challenging to protect my team from :thinking: Orisa won’t die to any of them except for Zarya (depending on what else is being run), but if you can get around her or even just shoot around her she’s gonna struggle to do much.

Orisa may or may not need nerfs, but what she really needs is a rework to her kit’s methodology, because it’s all about stalling the enemy and not making her own progress. She is effectively just an additional push bot that tells the actual push bot which direction to go.

The cow had the spotlight for the overwhelming majority of last season; it’s time to send her to the slaughterhouse for hamburgers. :hamburger:

(Hamburgers = fun).

I’m not sure if this analogy even works, but I’m going with it anyway. Lmao :joy::person_facepalming:

I could go for some hamburgers RN, how about we make some good ole smash burgers Oklahoma style when it’s finally done?

IMO orissa is just a symptom

Even then most supports can comfortably handle themselves long enough for her or their team to intervene assuming there is any teamplay occuring.

This sort of also assumes that the Orisa themselves is not paying attention.

Pharah. See just had yo look a bit more
