He actually killed Brig and Mercy

I just donāt like the Brig, Mercy and a few other. You canāt make Brig only get a 1 second heal with each hit with only 200HP no matter how annoying she is and how strong she currently is

Yeahā¦ I donāt think you have to worry about that with Chipsa, heās never had any kind of Blizzard endorsement that I know of. More of an entertainer with the kind of personalityā¦ you probably donāt want to put your logo behind.
You guys should listen to him, heās from Birmingham.
Chipsa still out here trying to balance the game, huh?
Unlucky.

calling it āegirlā jump just sounds unnecessarily hateful and salted lol

āāReaper is fineāā (he can interrupt his ulti by slamming him into wall only with the low pixels in the corner of his dear doomfist
Who care about Bastion
wanna make sombra and rh like they were in release
sure. and I have 100% hook accuracy in all my games.
in fact these āāpatch notesāā even if I consider them a text wall of jokes show once and for all that devs should focus on their own game without listening streamers or owl players
i promise you the manbaby known as chipsa, isnāt jokingā¦ I was thinking the same thing as i read his changes, then got to doomfist and it was like BUFFS.

i have not mastered this game nor im a gm player or high skilled player. im not gonna mock his assessments since everyone is entitled to their opinions and i think he has weight since he has played this game tons and he has got to the peak he has. it is an opinion tho and he shouldnt be a focus. if people focus on only on him then it is wrong because he has peers in his rank and file so what do the other āHIGH RANKā players think. it shouldnt be all focused on one player

I mean, Iāll give him credit for admitting up front these are not necessarily well thought out, but uh, yeah, these are not well thought out.
Just a first glance makes it look like heās just going off emotion, anything that causes trouble for him and especially for Doomfist gets nerfed (Bap, Brig, Cassidy, Sym, Widow, damage boosting in general), anything that helps him gets buffed (Doomfist, of course, but that Lucio buff is wildly unnecessary), and anything that doesnāt matter to him gets completely ignored (Bastion, Reaper, Ana).
Itās as biased a list as you can see a streamer make.

Am I missing something here are you a console player? As a Mercy player and a viewer of Mercy streamers, passively pocketing a single DPS all game is not a good strat. Every good Mercy I know is constantly using GA, superjump, her pistol, etc. Obviously sheās a single Target support, barring her ult, so by default yes she has to pick a single target to buff. Thatās not imbalanced or un-interactive, itās her just particular sub category of support.
That said, Iām fine with tuning her dmg boost down if buffed in another way. Iām curious as to how sheād be made more skillful and interactiveā¦

These āpatch notesā are a sad joke, raw and work in progress is a dramatic understatement. At least when I make suggestions I put more then 2 seconds of thought into it and try to take in the whole scope of the gameās balance.
Well, I mean:
Widowmaker: Remove her from the game. She is cringe
This whole patch suggestion is just Chipsa babyraging because other heroes exist. You know. His usual schtick.

But buffing him to keep up with the power creep of the game doesnāt solve anything. The other heroes need to be tuned back but his design isnt dysfunctional itās just overshadowed by characters that can do too much. He is fine the game just isnāt balanced in away that allows fair heroes to compete.

Reaper is technically a fair hero. He fulfills the niche that hes in when he needs to just fine. Hes in a poor state cause the niche he fulfills isnt as good in this current meta, and alot of heroes are blanetly powercrept to be good at everything which breaks the game. Having reaper changed would only serve to further break the game, especially if you intend to nerf the majority of the power crept characters.

If you feel like Mercy is a glorified damage booster, that would be because in the current climate of damage spam, any sort of healing (especially consistent, non-burst) is vastly undervalued rather than doing more and more damage and all the damage dealing in this game has been vastly pumped up at a consistent basis. You see it in the way people play Zenyatta, for instance.
It means you wonāt be able to fly out in the open because you will get deleted by damage spam in an instant and that your beam efficiency will be vastly better if you can help your own damage dealers do even more damage per second.
To get higher beam efficiency, it means going with the highest, most consistent damage spammer in the game. Since your healing is far less value nowdays, with it being non-bursty in nature. Because youāre definitely not going to get a good beam efficiency by healbotting tanks and bluebeaming someone who is not constantly firing at the enemy team or healing tickle damage when you could be boosting a dps shooting at the enemy team. And sometimes the best beam efficiency happens if you keep beaming the same person because theyāre doing better than rest of your team or faciliating offangle value. Or because blizzard has designed some heroes to have high consistent damage output, like echo and ashe.
Mercy doesnāt need to live in the mass ress healbot era forever, because the game has changed a lot.
It doesnāt mean Mercy doesnāt utilize her kit though, far from it.
^ this
Thereās also the fact that people who flex to mercy arenāt playing mercy to her fullest capacity since itās not exactly easy to fly from target to target, while being targeted and staying alive while still having consistent, high value beam uptime.
People not accustomed to playing mercy or those who are used to playing in duos and pocketing their friends are definitely the ones who will just take a safe route.
Soloque top 500 mercy is a different breed altogether and itās that kind of mercy player who should be used as an example of how mercy is utilized, not the pocket mercy whoās attached to their smurf booster to the detriment of their entire team.
Changing mercyās pocket nature would be to essentially change her from single target healer to multitarget healer and change her entire game design from the ground up. Or nerfing just about all damage in this game to early OW levels, so her lower levels of consistent healing becomes valuable again. Since pocketing instead of flying around is player choice. Nerfing damageboost would just make her useless because her consistent healing is not that valuable unless itās buffed to OP levels.
