It’s not. The problem is when even in cooperation they are not as effective as the ones that don’t. In that case it’s a problem of balancing. Because why play the ones that require more effort when you can do better with the ones that don’t.
Let’s just say this: All heroes are better with teamwork. Not all heroes are decent without teamwork. And even when you have perfect teamwork, the ones that are indecent without teamwork (i.e. their niche being performing great with teamwork) do not actually perform that great in comparison to the rest of the cast
needing another hero to be good does not make an unbalanced hero that was to point.
pharah is not very good on her own, shove a mercy up her butt now she is tu da
mercy now will see less play but on maps where you want to run pharah she will be used cus she also likes to fly see need each other, still balanced boom mind freak
Except Sombra purely relys on team communication. Her usability is purely dependent on her teams capability to work with her. If she hacks a Rein with his shield down, and they dont capitalize on it, whos at fault?
Yet, Bastion hasn’t seen any play due to the fact hes a glass cannon. All it takes is one good focus fire from a soldier, or any DPS hero and he’ll die instantly.
as i said it comes down to is the hero woth the effert…if the answer is no then thats that…how ever when Canada took their first map from Korea in worlds last year on junker town with pirate ship…i would say it did not under perform.
tho it is a cheese strat and people got better at playing vs it, tho still heavly used in pro play.
bastion is not bad cus he needs help from other hero’s he is bad cus of his kit.
