CC heroes being nerfed (Jeff response)

General Discussion
41

I don’t think all cc needs to be nerfed. Some characters like Doom, Hammond, and Tracer kinda need to be cc’d sometimes to keep them in line.

I would think they would focus on characters who have access to very oppressive cc like Doomfist and Mei, and cc stacking, like Mcree flashbanging his teammate Roadhog’s hook to instantly delete tanks.

Things like hook, lucio boops, concussion mines, earthshatter, are pretty integral to their character’s kits and I don’t think they would be touched.

When people complain about CC it usually boils down to Freeze, Hack, Doomfist in general, Brig Bash, and sometimes flashbang and sleep.

I’m very affraid they’re nerfing Sleepdart, personally…

43

I could see them nerfing hack time 4 second duration and increasing the cooldown all while buffing her stealth.

Honestly the Doomfist hate always baffled me. Especially when people call him low skill, I never had a problem with him, a good one is a pain, but a bad one is just free ult charge. If he does get nerfed hopefully it is not as bad as that one time they dumpstered him.

45

I would say probably;

Earthshatter
Flashbang
Piledriver
Sleep dart
Slam or Uppercut (prob not both)

or

If they were going to do that they already would have, I would probably expect the CC air control duration to go to that time, when they lessened it, but before the made global CC changes that basically undid it.

I’m honestly hoping Ana’s sleep dart gets looked at. I cannot stand being slept through an ult or being slept the second I finish teleporting or something. It’s by far the most aggravating thing on the planet for me.

48

I honestly don’t mind sleep dart.

Just bait it. Be smart about fighting Ana. Respect her kit. She shouldnt just be a free kill.

I’ll be honest, I’m a gold pleb but I only ever play with a full six stack. Every Ana I seem to fight does nothing but wait to sleep dart me and nothing else because her entire team just plays around her the entire time.

I’m not talking about going after Ana. I just mean trying to go for any flank whatsoever, I will randomly be slept from Africa. Not to mention, I said “looked at”. Being slept wouldn’t bother me so much if the animation locking wasn’t an aspect of it, which is perhaps what infuriates me the most.

?

I’d love to see Mei’s primary only slow, not freeze.

52

They would need to buff her ammo again then

53

Fine by me. I’m also fine with the ultimate freezing you.

All cc being halved in duration is imo the best way for it,

BUT, I think some heroes would get compensation buffs, and mobility heroes might see their recent buffs reverted.

I’m all for cc getting nerfed 2bh, if that means mobility hero can both have less performance variance, and get nerfed accordingly to help those who don’t possess cc to deal with them.

I’m fine with them nerfing Sombras hack if they buff the invisible speed to what it was before. She was so much better before :tired_face:

56

What ever they do, knowing how it works, they just gona nerf cc, no changes to high mobility heroes that cc supposed to stop.
So alredy i say GG blizzard.

Problem is so many CC heroes aren’t performing well anyway so they’ll be unplayable once they get nerfed from this. Doomfist, Ball, Orisa, Sigma and to an extent Mei just to name some.

58

I prefer soft control to hard. I think boops, immobilizes, slows, and hacks are preferable to stuns/freezes/sleeps, because the affected person still has some ability to act.

59

In this example, I want hack to be .1s cast time, but lasts for 2.5s.

In fact, I want all cc to be short af but also easier to use, makes timing of them more improtant.

(imo the cc nerf might indicate we will see a sleepdart nerf/adjust)

This is why I say they should get compensation buffs.

Iirc I have had a full analysis posted on the forums weeks ago.

U are basically right to wards the hardcc, BUT, immobilize/root and hacks are harc cc imo, cuz a portion of the input gets blocked.

Soft cc is basically things that makes player input less efficient, but not completely negated.

You know that many people in Overwatch can have the same name, so I don’t understand why you are calling dibs. Anyways it doesn’t change the rest of your message tho
