Yeah at the end of the year, if not later.
So Roadhog remains trash tier for at least 1 full year.
Oh, God.
What we found was that Cassidy’s Magnetic Grenade was slightly too easy to land, Mei’s overall effectiveness dropped as she traded damage for more slowing utility, and Lifeweaver’s impact was much greater than before. We’re still looking to improve player control over aiming Thorn Volley.
There are more hero balance changes coming in the mid-season patch, which include shifting power for Torbjorn and Symmetra away from their turrets and into the rest of their kit, improving the control over Sojourn’s Railgun primary fire spread, increasing the front-line capability of Reinhardt and Orisa, slight adjustments to weaken Zenyatta’s Discord Orb ability, and several others.
This is so disconnected from reality.
You found that Cass’ nade was slightly too easy to land? Not that it was monumentally busted and universally hated because of how garbage it feels to go against for every hero, including non-mobile heroes? I refuse to believe that you don’t know damn well no one likes it, and you double down because you refuse to acknowledge what a stupid decision it is. Anyone with a modicum of foresight could have told you how the Mei changes were bad.
To top it off, now you’re going after Symm and Torb? And you’re considering buffing Sojourn as if she’s still not stupidly frustrating to go against? You haven’t learned from the first time, when you made her way too easy and refused to actually nerf her properly? You allowed several other heroes to overshadow her - she’s never been weak. And your plan is to make it even easier to hit shots with her primary? Orisa already has a lot of front-line presence, she doesn’t need more.
This is going to suck. I have no words. I’m just amazed at how bizarre and disconnected these priorities are. I feel like I’ve been pretty gracious with giving Alec and the balance team some patience, but I’ve run out. Nerfing Discord and buffing heroes like Orisa is just going to result in her being a menace.
I have no hope for the balance team. They are a lost cause who have demonstrated several times now that they lack the most basic level of foresight imaginable. I’m expecting this to be a dumpster fire. Let’s change heroes who aren’t problems and buff problematic ones and slap the wrists of those who are incredibly strong. Meanwhile, still waiting on that Sombra and Roadhog rework you said we’d get in Season 4.
The incompetence is astounding.

It looks like a concept for her origin story trailer. Doubt that it has anything to do with her Ult. It’s probably about how she got her sun powers.

Yeah, I would agree there.
Finally, discord is getting retuned. I couldn’t be happier!

With Season 5, we saw Junker Queen’s dominant reign over the tank role even out, making way for a more diverse selection of tank heroes
are we playing the same game?

Jay3 if you read this, shoutout to my beloved torb enjoyer.
Leave my guy alone pls.
Looks that way. Read through post too fast initially. Lol
Why nerf torb? Is he really that big of a menace? The turret is so easy to kill. Hes one of my favorite characters. I’d hate for him to become useless.
It’s not a nerf. They’re just shifting power away from his turret to his base kit.

She is still a strong hero in normal gameplay when a good player is playing the hero. But my god the primary fire feels awful with that spread, I would happily take a power shift to make that better.
1: He’s getting a re-work later down the line, 2: he’s still in a pretty good spot, and even just got a buff to his vape. The nerfs he suffered were superficial at best, the Hog players that know what they’re doing still terrorize on him
40% winrate on Overbuff (I know I know) do tell a different story.
Game balance this season continues to be in great shape.
Oh God… here we go again. Honestly, I can’t take any of this seriously.

Compared to other frontline tanks, Orisa is one of the weakest. She doesn’t have enough sustained mitigation. I think Fortify needs a longer duration and maybe a little more temporary health. 4.5 seconds and 75 extra doesn’t feel great. Javelin spin is arguably more effective, but it lasts less than 2 seconds. I like her kit, especially energy javelin, but it’s just difficult to make a meaningful impact with it when there are better tank options.
You are nerfing turrets again? This has to be a joke… Sym can live without so much power in her turrets, because her beam makes her a monster but torb?
Also, do we really need more front line capabilities with Rein and Orisa? I get the feeling that they are the best frontline tanks period! Especially Orisa when discord gets a nerf. I also see more Hanzo and Cassies in my game… also where the hell are the Brig players?
I feel like the mid season patch will be more than interesting to say the least…
Nerf or change Pharah and Hanzo. I see them in every second game. I would gladly fight against Tracer or Genji.
My guy… the picture is for her backstory. We now know that she really is a light based support and could have a blind effect. Also, it looks like she did not do this for fun… could even be an evil or neutral support.
So when are we getting 6v6 back? I’d like to have fun playing this game again.
