"Failed" Experimental Hype

I’ve heard so many people say that 1/3/2 was a failed experiment (When it never really got tested to begin with - imo), so I assume that’s the correct guess.

I would welcome another shot at that, given more aggressive changes to tanks and damage heroes (who ironically got no changes for a mode called triple damage).

OMG OMG OMG

Is it a Bastion/Pharah change :see_no_evil:

IS IT A TANK-WIDE BUFF PATCH?!!? :sob: I’m too excited

I sort of hope it is something that gets routinely suggested and sounds good on paper, but after playing just didn’t pan out. Still, I think it had to be at least somewhat of an interesting idea for them to want to put it on an experimental card when they don’t plan on putting it in the final game.

Watch them reduce hit box sizes like some have been asking for but not actually change how the momentum mechanics of the game work.

Maybe it’s global nerfs to everything?

Nerfing damage, hitscans, healing, sustain, CC, mobility, utility, ults…

One can only hope…

Ya they are most definitely in a weird stage of adding a lot of super limiting things to the game. 2-2-2 already severely limits how you counter or pick up slack. And the game is stillllll not balanced. They literally are forcing people into specific roles and it’s producing double shield the most boring meta lul.

What about non-ultimate mode?
Where no ults exist but everyone’s kit numbers are slightly higher or something

Or respawn is like 2 seconds for every one

what I think the “failed experiment” was in order of likelihood imo:

  1. moira rework/rebalance
  2. 1-3-2
  3. sym infinite tp

ok that last one’s my own wishful thinking but a guy can dream right? :sob:

I was hoping that Experimental cards wouldn’t just be changes that are likely to get into the game, so this was welcome news. They seemed pretty clear from the start that 132 was a rough draft and not something they were committed to, but even so it was cool to get a look at some of the stuff they try out behind the scenes. Whatever it turns out to be, I hope they continue to sprinkle these cards in among the PTR+ ones.

Mass Res Mercy.

one can only dream. ;(

Whatever it is, if they wanna share it its probably better as an arcade mode than something to be excited about.

I’ll just be sitting here waiting for the Suprised Pikachu reactions lol

I’m doing my best to not build up any hype(so I don’t disappoint myself) but seeing some of the suggestions makes me have hope for this “failed experiment” and what it could bring to the table.

Hopefully we’ll see what it is soon and whether it will be a good time!
