Chipsa patch notes

chipsa posted a patch notes on twitter and he is right on a lot of things, anyway is funny how he talk about cancer heros, but he is a doomfist main xd.

anyway i aggree with almost all, but i think that pharhamercy cant continue on the game.

another funny thing is how all players know that the game needs massive nerfs but blizz were trying to buff MCCREEE, torb and junk ??

Didn’t know ChipSa hated Mercy that much.

His opinions and suggestions are mostly on point imo
The widowmaker hate is there too lol

Not gonna lie, this was pretty bad. Some ideas were ok, but he basically removes heroes he doesn’t like by nerfing them into the ground. It’s terrible balancing.

Right from the get go, this is awful. In the first few paragraphs he essentially deletes low-healing abilities from existence and makes projectile heroes worthless.

mercy is a big gameplay problem. she transform good heros on monsters. anyway she needs nerfs same than a lot of heros on the game.

I could go for 5% damage boost nerf provided a great host of damage output nerfs alongside it.

Chipsa suggestion still dumb as fork though.

the changes are okayish, only confusing thing is adding fall off on most projectiles yet leaving the most broken projectile on hanzo with no damage decrease or fall off

Mercy is just awful for the health of the game. She’s a hero that is not fundamentally well designed for a game like Overwatch
but there she is.

I think on paper she is sort of reasonably balanced
but the issue is that, through overall powercreep, her kit has boiled down to one thing; hard pocketting through damage boost. She has an interesting and interactive kit but you barely need to touch it; the optimal way to climb as her in fact discourages using the rest of her kit as much as possible. That alone shows what a trash place she is in.

Does she feel strong and impactful? Well, sort of. She’s frustrating to play with and against, so in a way
but it’s not really through the Mercy players ability so much as a sort of sloppy kit. She just needs to be tuned to add a lot more agency to her kit and, imo, a nerf to hard pocketting is in order as well.

My thoughts on specific hero changes:

Brigitte

  • She can’t survive in extended melee engagements, so forcing her to constantly swing to achieve healing makes her worthless.

D.Va

  • Nerfing her primary fire by 20% is a huge number that would single-handedly make her the worst tank. Nerfing her boosters by 1 second on top of that makes her engagements much more committal and would ruin her survivability.

Lucio

  • I don’t think Chipsa understands how Lucio’s healing works.

Sombra

  • All the drawbacks of her pre-rework with none of the benefits of her post-rework. Would be trash everywhere.

Ball

  • Again, you can’t just throw huge numbers like 20% out.

AHAHHAHAHA MOST FUNNY thing

‘‘Reaper is fine’’ good joke

‘‘who care about Bastion’’

Like every single bastion player

also these patch notes can be resumed in ‘‘make my life as Doomfist onetrick easier’’

I love how he said to nerf hard cc of other heroes
 but when came about doomfist he told nothing

‘‘rh remove ability to move when vaping?’’ like wtf
 wanna make him like was in season 1 and make him even more bad than he is now? you can interrupt him with your dear Doomfist man

nerf sombra
 why I’m not suprised? he wanna make her like was after her release (and was even more useless)

these patch nones are good jokes. because are jokes right?

Can’t believe a doomfist main knows more about Symmetra than the devs do

reaper is a very good hero., he just dont have more pickrate because hanzo and mccree are better on close range (I DONT KNOW WHY) and also because pharhamercy exists and the game is full of cc


if they nerfed mccree, hanzo , mercy , then reaper can be a very strong hero
 anyway i think that he needs some mechanics reworks. he should be harder.

I actually really like some of the changes, specifically the AoE healing at beginning

I only checked 4 different heroes and all of them had garbage changes. Awful. Glad he’s not in charge of balancing. He should stick to keeping the OWL bench warm through nepotism.

it means reaper is not a good hero mate.
