Emergency patch time

Yup, not gonna do it, nope Im done, IM DONE nope nope thats it bust out the emergency patch, I can’t wait till mid season, Im done I AM SO DONE WITH THIS PATCH ALREADY!

I don’t even know where to start with what needs to be changed and nerfed but it needs to start NOW! I need that emergency patch ASAP or sonner, I want it yesterday I am done im done with these damage boosted ashes and soilders hitting every single shot humanly possible, Im done with roadhogs and Orisas just refusing death, Im done with lifeweaver be complete and utter trash don’t know why yall didn’t buff him it seemed pretty damn obvious he was gonna need a change I mean you globally lowered healing for a support who mainly did healing which is what allowed him to do other things so not sure why it wasn’t obvious this would he a issue.

Screw this entire patch.

Some of the hurtbox changes probably need to be reduced a bit. A few characters definitely need some sort of buffs. Looking at Junkrat, who’s beyond useless right now.

This patch has huge implication across all roles and all heroes. We need a while to get data in and then start to balance the game. Currently people are still getting used to the change. This reminds me of the start of OW2, where people had no idea how to play the game.

This is kind of the same thing, but in a different setting. But I see that heroes like Weaver and JQ get really rolled with the changes.

idk I did 7k damage in one game with Weaver last night. Thorns be crazy now.

Didn’t feel like my healing was too ugh either. Just felt like people needed to play smarter.

Ive been doing some crazy damage numbers to but playing him does feel more uphill then usual compared to the other supports.

Don’t touch Mei I like her hot and run.

I feel like you just need to be more proactive about helping secure kills on enemy dps specifically so that the debuff becomes less of an issue. It’s kind of like you have to look at the mindset that the damage you do is actually effective healing because if you take an enemy off the field, that’s a bunch of damage you didn’t need to heal because it wasn’t applied in the first place. Also with the healing nerf, doing damage in between heals means more ult charge as you’re making up for the ult charge you don’t get healing debuffed players and the tank specifically.

Dude now you finally understand how most of us felt when they killed off OW1, welcome to the club we saved you a seat.

blizzard’s only way out of this is a complete revert, there is no saving this patch

i would like a complete revert as well but what i think will happen is they’ll keep it this way and nerf/buff heroes on their internal statistics… winrates maybe :wink: (i know that will rile up gray guy)

I’ve not had a problem with Lifeweaver so far, not sure what’s going on with you

Shooting too much mayhaps? That’s like your whole schtick isn’t it?

less support q times? oh my kiri will love to hear this. Wait for me kunai minigun, you are obviously the most precious all along.

thats what we get when its always git gud, now our aim is good. might as well make it aimbot and we can balance easily around 100% accruracy across all ranks.

I’m for one will be abusing this to its full extend.

actually having more fun on support than dps which i was hoping this patch gets me back into, but with those bullet sizes, the role doesn’t feel nearly as fun as before. half my shots are undeserved and plain misses in my eyes.

feels nice to have an easier time pulling the expected weight on kiriko with much easier headshots. even if most are not deserved, many things are not deserved in my eyes so theres no issue in abusing it myself.

Isnt this what we asked for? A chaotic mess with balance threw out of the window not unlike the GOTY original OW1 :joy:

Actually I’m finding rats that are hitting like 40%~50% of their nades directly at mid ranges. Which is scary because like he still has a kill confirm off his trap or just double mine someone.

The boxes are huge on those things.

I love when people don’t give things more than 3 seconds to develop.
Worse yet, the people around you aren’t adjusted yet.

I hope blizz ignores you impatient people who refuse any change.

Umm, double mining doesn’t work anymore unless they’re already significantly damaged. Or Widow/Tracer/Baby Dva.

And I assume by kill confirm you mean shooting someone trapped multiple times? Because one grenade or mine won’t do it anymore. And the old trap with placed mine doesn’t work anymore either.

bap is looking meta in champion, and mercy looking meta below that

I meant off of nade confirm.

I meant mine combo off a trap. Or if in close range nade plus a melee.

you don’t need to give it anytime if you have common sense and EYES. ppl been playing this game for 7 effing years, what feels bad feels bad.

People were a lot more complimentary of the start of OW2. This patch is super cleanly divided: People who play DPS tend to like it, everyone else tends to not.
