Damage creep has finally crept up

General Discussion
1

Everyone does way too much damage now.

All damage, healing and HP numbers need to be reworked and lowered. It’s actually insane how much damage tanks do now.

Genji needs a nerf first

Well a lot of that is because everything is tuned to be able to deal with AntiNade spam, and Sniper spam.

De-escalate those, and then they can de-escalate everything else.

All damage continues and remains fairly static. This is false.

It’s factually not. .

was just saying this, heal and damage have crept too much, nobody dies if supports are up and you die near instantly if you dont have a support

I said this really early on, but that’d be a great reason to make an “overwatch 2”. We could have removed snipers, anti, and generally rebalanced the whole game to improve on what people found annoying in OW1. We could have even completely removed characters and reintroduced them later on down the line. Like replacing Hog with Junkerqueen, and then release the reworked Hog when he was ready.

But nope! Battlepasses, baby!

I mean, I was saying this about 5v5 before OW2 Beta was even announced :stuck_out_tongue:

Granted, it’s not that difficult to figure out that if you remove a bunch of barrier spam, that Snipers and Antinade will be a lot stronger.

Also because that’s what happened with 1-3-2 and “SuperHog” meta.

sustain is still stronger. Some dps like Cassidy need buffs to be on support levels of power

I agree with the first two, but not the third. Health is the constant that TTK revolves around. Lower it along with damage and healing, and everything stays the same.

Show me on the patch notes when and where Lucio’s Damage increased.

  • Where Mercy’s damage increased.
  • Where Moira’s damage increased.
  • Where Torbjorn’s damage increased.
  • Where Genji’s damage increased.
  • Where Cassidy’s damage increased.
  • Where Ashe’s damage increased.
  • Where Reeaper’s damage increased.
  • Where Echo’s damage increased.
  • Where Widowmaker’s damage increased.
  • Where Hanzo’s damage increased.
  • Where Junkrat’s damage increased.
  • Where Wrecking Ball’s damage increased.
  • Where Pharah’s damage increased.
  • Where Sigma’s damage increased.
  • Where D.va’s damage increased.

If you cannot show where a majority of heroes saw direct damage increases to their primary fires, there is no power creep in terms of damage.

It’s support players crying that a dps can actually contest them now that Tracer got her damage buffed to 6.

There was also the Sombra and Hog reworks along with Meow-Ga. I feel those are probably a bigger reason that people are bringing up damage creep at the moment.

true ig. I never minded tanks doing damage really. It’s always been their broken sustain like Sigma with a shield, defense matrix, CC with the poke damage overkill. Then them buffing the hell out of take a breather. When Junkerqueens shout was completely broken and forced a goats like meta in the start of OW2.

Game is unplayable right now. Damage creep was always a problem, but the dam has collapsed and the town below is flooded.

Just played like 7 matches, and they were all absolutely miserable.
