Like, seriously.
First it was “soldiers bad and only does chip damage” and it was better “to just pick mcree”, he gets buffed and now he’s this monster who’s a better mcree.
This is just one example. For some god knows reason people think genji is an overpowered monster and others think he’s garbage. Both statements are ridiculous to say the least.
Till this day I’m still hearing how “TRASH” rein and d.va are.
Like, for goodness sake people. Let’s be realistic otherwise no one will take you seriously. No hero is trash at this moment and no hero is overpowered.

Genji and Zarya are actually (still) overpowered and overtuned

I’ve said this since day 1. The forums think in extremes.
If one hero is doing better than it’s competitor, they’re ungodly overpowered. If one hero is doing worse than it’s competitor, they’re ungodly under powered. That’s also why people are never satisfied with nerfs that don’t completely ruin a better performing hero. They want drastic changes in small timeframes.

Yeah,the “Genji/D.Va are bad and underpowered”,the “Widow is overpowered” and the “tanks and healers are extremely underpowered” threads are pretty annoying.
Genji/D.Va are performing pretty decently,which is more than what heroes like Bastion,Sym,Orisa and Sombra can say.
Tanks and support still enable metas and literally the only bad hero in those categories is Orisa.
Even in Masters/GM, Soldier and Tracer have higher pickrates than Widow,but almost nobody’s complaining about those two.

Unfortunately, many people tend to think in black and white. Things are morally right or wrong, there’s no grey in between; music goes either on full blast or not at all; and heroes in a game are either great or crap.
Some do that on purpose, precisely to exaggerate the situation (personally, I don’t think that really helps anything). but many really think that way. And there’s little I can do to change that thinking; they’ll have to realise for themselves that the world isn’t that simple.
I haven’t found any hero to be overpowered to the point of must-pick status in the game, and neither have I found any who are complete “throw picks”, despite what some others claim. There certainly are problematic heroes in both directions (more on the low end), though, and they should be looked at and changed. But even if I do think Symmetra has too many conditions attached for her to start being “good”, I can still play her, carry my weight and win a match, even if not all those conditions are met.

Well it’s like the US, people are getting more divivded and extreme in ther views and beliefs.
I’m not really surprised, but there are also more vocal voices of reason than ever before
Tell me why they don’t have the highest pickrate and winrates on ladder (like every hero had when they ever reached an OP state like say Brigitte or maybe even Mercy who had 98% pickrate in moth meta the highest ever)
Also tell me why no one’s bothering to play these “OP” heroes in Contenders where playing hero should make them win and its literally thier job so they must be desperate for every advantage they can get by playing ur so called “OP” heroes.
Don’t have an answer or don’t wanna reply? Gotcha if thats the case it means you either play a hero who gets countered by them and don’t wanna switch or you believe that you deserve top 500 but these OP heroes don’t let you climb

I think the only character that’s overtuned is tracer. That fall off buff is just unnecessary in the current state of the game. Other than that, games in a pretty balanced state.

On Ladder Zarya is slightly overperforming, but you know it’s the forums slightly = OP BROKEN MUST BE DELETED SCREECH

Yeah, i feel like all tanks are great rn and fulfill different needs. There’s no pick to win or pick to lose hero in tank and support. Only DPS need slight balances to the underpowered heroes and i dont think any one needs a nerf tbh

I totally agree, OW is in a very balanced state and for mid and low ranks: Anything goes anyway, so the more balanced the game is, the better is it for these ranks.
But according to some from the forums: MainTanks are currently so bad, paper thin shields and aren’t able to their job.

Every single post here seems to be coming from extremely biased players, wanting to nerf thier counters and buff thier heroes
Or they miss pick to win heroes maybe

Feels like.
One of the common complaints is “I died to ability “X” and that is unfair, I want it nerfed because I think it’s OP”
me looking at sym who’s literally a shorter ranged hero that had their core engagement, disengagement and burst-combo-enabling ability (tp) trashed to the point where the sym player is literally forced to heavily rely on team pocketting for her to get uptime unlike most of the heroes who can independently get uptime (yes even supports and other “utility”/“team” heroes):
“I lost to X hero or ability without even trying to counter it, so its definitely OP” imo is what is more common
