Comp needs changing

Competitive Discussion

I have played a lot of overwatch. I have around 800 hours on xbox and however many I have on this account. I started as a high plat in ranked, (haha I’m plat) but now I have dropped to mid gold. I keep playing matches where we play well and things look good for us, but when we play attack, the other team can hold with Bastion, Rein, Orisa, Moira, Junkrat, and Brigette. This is just too hard to work around, as they do large amounts of damage, without any true counters. This is where someone says “run genji to counter bastion.” Not only can bastion take his finger off of m1 when genji deflects, but genji also gets countered by the rest of the comp. I also have noticed that these characters require less skill than other. Rein, Moira, junkrat, and brigette don’t require aim, Bastion can mow down any target in about .7 seconds, and orisa can just put up new shields when her old one goes down.

Ways to fix:
-Reinhart is fairly balanced (it is just double shield protecting bastion that is stupid.

-Make Moira balls do a lot less damage and make her balls last shorter.

-Nerf Brigette’s combo of shield bash, and boopy attack do only around 70 or so damage.

-Nerf Bastion’s damage. Like holy crap, we wanted this since day one.

-Nerf the damage of Junkrat mines to a consistent 60. I believe you said that you gave him 2 mines for added mobility, so if we are all focused on mobility, why can they do so much?

-Nerf Orisa’s shield cooldown. Like Winston, the bubble will run out before he has his bubble again. It feels like we can’t even push when we constantly have to focus the Orisa shield. I feel like if you aren’t going to reduce the cooldown, at least make a type of cooldown like Reinhart’s shield’s cooldown. One where you can put up the shield, but it won’t be at maximum health.

Also, I feel like Reaper just needs a damage nerf. You have buffed him like 5 times in the past year, and it just gets annoying. I get 1 tapped playing a squishy and 4 tapped playing a tank.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

  1. I agree that rein is fine.
  2. Moira is fine. Most of the time people use her damage balls to just charge their own ults or enemy support ults. It only gets lucky kills when someone is really low.
  3. I agree one of Brigitte abilities to peel for supports should be nerfed. If she plays with her supports, she can insta-kill the genji/tracer. If she is out of position, she can give them the instant burst healing. And if all else fails, she can block a lot of damage for them. If just one of these was removed, she would be more balanced.
  4. Bastion is fine and very easy to counter. I just pick sombra and continuously hack him. emp will get rid of the shields and his turret form.
  5. Junkrat is fine too. They nerfed the falloff to his mines so you have to be accurate with them. And he has a ton of counters. Especially Zarya who is played a lot lately.
  6. The thing is that her shield is all she has. Her damage is very poor and super-charger can be good but is super easy to get rid of.
  7. Reaper is pretty difficult to play. If you are aware of where he is it is easy to make space in between you and him and mow him down. Just communicate with your team and he is easy to counter.
