yea its totally subjective. i would live and adjust if the game became total mayhem. still tho would it be the right decision?

you have to look at it in a BUSINESS perspective if you want to make money which is the thing in games in general.

what brings in the most players? i might even disagree if what brings in the most players means everyone being a copycat/cookie cutter version for heroes.

why i love overwatch is that heroes are unique but of course that means a bigtime inbalance

25

Time to roll, well i might give the experimentla a second chance with the 25% damage reduction.

Also i find it kinda of hilarious that Sigma was the only tank nerfed, even in the experimental he was still nerfed.

Yes, so they will be brawlers.

They have explained this.

LemonKiwi has also explained her rationale for the tank changes which is entirely different.

27

That’s disgusting yikes

Why are we making movement abilities deal half a squishie’s HP…

They were buffing their abilities/ damage in the OW2 showcase. Nothing was really done to their health/ armor.

Now with the Leaked OWL scrims they have tons of health/ armor, they went a different direction it seems.

29

Yeah i’m all for tank buffs. But those are unecessary.

30

Where are those at?

The CC immunity on grasp was pretty silly, I’m disappointed it’s gone personally lol

33

Those numbers are before the damage reduction is applied, yes?

34

Fair point. It is getting a tad muddled.

35

I’m so happy about the tank damage nerfs being halfway reverted because they weren’t fun at all. Ult charge increasing to compensate for less damage is a great idea as well.

Sym now works wonders as a off healer.

But still missing one thing priortizing where it should switch to a critical ally.

Just played a match against a pretty good one. Those healing turrets can be a nightmare if your not paying attention.

38

wow oh wow, pharmercy hard pocketing blue beam nonsense is truly here to stay it looks

39

It was, but its still pretty hilarious that even in a experimental he was still deemed strong enough to warrant a nerf, Sigma can never escape the Sigma mael mentality.

It feels like D.va has less delay between her Matrix, or I’m seeing things.
