I find Reinhardt more boring to play personally, at least with Orisa I get to gun people down behind my paper barrier!

Orisa does need buffs but in no way is hog better than her

my point is that people ask for buffs for a hero they are not willing to play.
More players would play Bastion over Orisa, if he was in the Tank role. Let’s be honest.
Hog is more fun, than her. I think that’s what they was trying to say.

I mean, if a hero has more to do in a fight.
Buffing in this case will give her more control and more stuff to do and practically stands above everyone so it might be more fun?
Man idk just rework her r smthin, that would fix balance and fun factors probs.
the people who want her buffed are her mains who actually enjoy her playstyle such as myself, sadly we wont get any as blizz is too scared to risk double sheild ruining their main attraction and they probably wont do a rework because that too much work for when they change the talent system in ow2 to keep the kits consistent

I think she’s rather fun, actually.
Sigma, orisa, and dva are my favorite tanks. Zarya’s up there too
It’s almost like the vast majority of the players you play with don’t post here or something…

She’s fun with Roadhog on certain maps when fishing and pitting can be put into play

Hogs only purpose is to get out of the low ranks as tank. Other than that, Orisa is miles better.
Orisa plays in such a non-skilled and plain way that no buffs will make her more interesting.
- dropping barrier takes no skill
- using Halt takes skill that you can learn in 10-20 hrs at GM level. You Halt people off of high ground or when they’re retreating from you to finish the kill, stuff like that.
- her Fusion cannon requires minimal tracking (takes a bit of mechanics but not too much and 80% of the time you’ll be shooting a shield/a tank anyway)
- timing your fortify so that you don’t waste it too early is a bit of a skill but mostly just understanding the progress of the teamfight
tl;dr: nothing in Orisa’s kit allows for skill expression. Her cooldown rotation of shield → fortify → shield → hide behind cover is also extremely plain and monotonous.

Same can be said for any shields tank

Without a second barrier tank, she’s utter trash. At least Rein can function with an off-tank that isn’t called Sigma
I think that the people who want her buffed and the people who don’t want to play her are not the same people.

not true, for example Rein’s kit allows for skill expression, there is most certainly a difference between a Plat and a GM Rein. That’s why people are also more willing to play Rein, he isn’t perceived as a “jail hero”.
Not true, in low elo (below GM), comps like Orisa Winston, Orisa Hammond, even Orisa Hog on some maps can work because the strategy won’t always be “break shield as fast as possible” on either side.
For example, the map could be Junkertown and the enemy runs Rein Zarya Widow Genji. Vs such a comp, Orisa Hog can make sense.
Literally no one says this.

Agreed, let’s increase projectile speed (but introduce drop-off, to stop Sniper Orisas) so that her gun is cooler.

Same for Rien
You can say the same for fire strike
Rien hammer require minimal aim as well
Same with charge
Orissa is boring maybe but certainly non skilled
I mean every hero requires some sort of skill
