Experimental Mode: Launch Characters

Literally take all 31 heroes and revert them to their launch state.

99.9% likely not to happen (way too much work for something so wonky) but we can all dream.

I like that idea but I don’t thinks it’s good enough by itself to take up a long residence in the expiremental card. Maybe an arcade gamemode?

That would be great. They should just skip the middle man and make that a new arcade mode.

I don’t even mean this for any changes or anything, just a fun (or horrible) little experiment.

Widowmaker can bodyshot Zenyatta and Tracer.
Torbjorn has to level up his turret.
Brigitte.
Ashe would be worse off.
Speed Boost on Nano would be back.
Mei would be slightly less oppressive.
Baptiste would be a buff to his current state.
Reaper would be super trash.
Plus Mass Rez would be back on that table.
Junkrat would have a limp tire again and no double mines ;-;

Yeah somethings should stay in the past… :sweat_smile:

Just saying. It could help with those rose tinted glasses some people have too.

brig would by far be the strongest character
im good

Would she though? I know she’d be super strong but I have to wonder if some of the other originally launched characters might be able to go toe to toe with her.

And if they keep the 2/2/2, dunno.

no they couldnt lmao
OG brig did more dps than dps with a 150hp one shot combo
had a 700hp shield (more than current orisa)
a hard CC on a 4 second cooldown
a movement CC on a 4 second cooldown

she could go toe to toe with reinhardt
no character was able to go toe to toe with her on launch, thats why she got so many nerfs in a row
(not even hanzo post rework could kill her in a 1v1)

It was 600 and dropped to 500. But yeah I get what you mean.

Which is why I said it was 99.9% likely to not happen.

shows how gross of a character she is and was lmao
had an entire meta built around her for almost 2 years because devs were too afraid of the brig herd to sledgehammer her

Experiment card should be for possible future changes and not used for a “blast from the past” card.

You could sorta do what you want in the workshop anyways.

I mean I can’t but I’m sure someone can.

cries in D.Va’s launch state

It would be an interesting mode. My main would be terrible and Brigitte would be so OP. But it could be fun.

My bombs would finally kill something: me.
