Now would people understand what Ball mains go through when we play our hero?
Yes you can outplay a lot of these, other tanks have shields, many have to just facetank it then heal from it all, but Ball is in a unique case where if he even experiences one of these things ir can cost him big time and that really sucks because other tanks have their comback mechanics and defensive abilities.
For WBall he can only pop shields for a limited time and pray that all the CC doesn’t get chained together one after the other for an endless CC train.
What do you think it feels like for the receiving end of your hero?
This post is so biased and pointless. Almost everything on the list affect all heroes too, most of them with lesser mobility than WB. I can hit a sleep on WB and he can still casually roll out because of his overhealth. Compare that to for example a Winston and he has to fight for his life if he even survives in the first place.
I think for many other people, wrecking ball is annoying to play against due to the knock backs and just how fast he is. And a lot of people simply do not know how to take advantage of him when he’s on your team.
I do love playing him though. He doesn’t fit every situation but he’s a total blast to play. And most wrecking balls I go against are easy enough to kill.
Too many people going on about how “miserable” he is to play against. Im sorry, but I just burn him too easily on Reaper, and make his own life hell with Brigitte (I can actually hit whipshots )
)
