So they removed CCs from the game except sleep and now they add more and more Slowing efects. Mei was the only with slow efect in OW1. Somebody who enjoys it?
Why is Doom ult slowning enemy?
Why is Rama ability not only pulls down but also slows enemy and doing dmg?
Why Sojorn? Slow and Dmg?
Why is Orisa so slowing down by ulting? There is no escape
Also why they added Healing denying to JQ??? Its a suports special! Not a tank! Do dmg over time but no Healing prevent
Also what tf they were thinking by designing WifeLeaver with 2 weapon buttons???
Mercy and Torb has it.
- Mercy: Clear! She is a consistent healbot, and her gun is needed under 5% of the game!
- Torb: Clear! His secondary is there only for Turet and fancy Torbs duels
Its so messi game, sorry to tell the true! Blizzard I know all this stuff was added because you were scared that nobody will pick Kiriko, so you gave her Suzu for cleanse. But Kiriko is there, comunity took her now is time to leave this mess! Or gave Cleanse to more heroes!!!
Well, I like Mei’s old freeze. I think it was better than her current kit.
But then again, she is my main.

I think that slowing effects, which are also CC, are preferable to their hard counterparts, like stuns. A game like Overwatch benefits from CC abilities being available to counteract various movement abilities. Slows are just a compromise in this regard, in my opinion.
CC’s are annoying, but slows can also be… annoying… but less so
I will say i miss mei being threatening when I’m facing her

I hated her so much as Hog back in OW1. She stunned (freezed) people so quickly and she was tanky. Now maybe she needs something what is not really freezes enemy, but it starts slowing enemy less and as you keep spraying it will slow more until almost frozen.
Sojourn’s disruption field no longer slows. It just does damage which is kind of boring. Should add an effect to it (not CC) but that’s for another topic.
CCs are mostly a privilege of tanks now. They are limited to one per team so Blizzard can give all of them CCs without it becoming too much.
But slows don’t stop movement abilities, do they? If you slow Genji, he still has the advantage of leaving at any time.
That’s true, but the can make him slower for easier shooting, or zone him. But, what you allude to is also true: the Genjis and Tracers of the world came out as giga-winners in this exchange.
