(Hopefully) fun challenge for you big brains out there. Swap two abilities between heroes in a way that improves both heroes. OK, fine if you can improve one hero and leave the other in generally the same viability. Let’s stipulate that it doesn’t have to be viability re: current meta, but it could be.
You can’t use old abilities or stats (ie you can’t use Sym 2.0’s death noodle), but anything from the current PTR or Live can be used.
Primary fires, Alt fires, passives, cooldowns, Ults… everything can be traded and it doesn’t have to be type-for-type.
I’ll go with a trade of Pulse Bomb (Tracer) and Meteor Strike (Doomfist). Tracer I think would be better with Meteor Strike than Pulse Bomb, it gives her a third (good lord!) get out of jail card, AOE potential and massive repositioning, which I think she could use aggressively whereas Doomfist usually uses it to escape. Doomfist I think would be better with Pulse Bomb than Meteor Strike, as both his Uppercut and Slam give him free opportunities to stick the bomb.
Swap Discord and Mercy’s damage boost
Now Mercy can heal while discord is active and Zen can still heal while having to choose between dealing damage and damage boosting a teammate
Edit: alternatively, swap their heals to achieve the same effect, Mercy can place harmony on her damage boost target and Zen can place discord while choosing between dealing damage or healing
This is actually probably better
D.Va has to play so passively now days, so having his primary fire will let her participate a bit more at medium ranges before she engages, and she will be able to do a bit more damage on her approach when diving an enemy. Plus, D.Va’s weapons already look like Gatling guns. Bonus points if D.Va gets to keep the infinite ammo.
Hammond on the other hand doesn’t have much problem getting up close to enemies, so him getting in with the shotguns shouldn’t change his feel too much. Limited ammo wouldn’t really hurt him either since he spends so much time in ball form giving him the smooth reload transitions.
Give d.va mine field of course …imagine a booster dva carpet bombing from above …
And self destruct fit hammond kit and play style…
His mech look like a bomb…and he can roll,pile drive self destruction combo…also make his kit more un predictable …
give hanzo pharah’s jets and pharah storm rockets
since pharah can’t fly I guess also give her wall climb and let her rocket jump without taking damage, and give hanzo a better version of lunge.
