Goats is the reason you implemented role queue

Stop lying to yourselves.

You couldn’t balance the game. You had 0 idea. You created a huge damage creep while effectively doing absolutely nothing against Goats, only creating different variations of Goats. The game balance is now completely fricked, with only a few heroes being viable in 2/2/2.

You nerfed every single tank that was somehow involved in Goats and left us with Orisa and Roadhog, the only tanks that weren’t part of Goats. Surprise, they’re meta now because everything else is trash due to nerfs. Nobody wants to play tanks now, go figure.

You literally introduced a hero prior to Goats that was so problematic, you had to change an entire game mechanic, Armor. Armor is now completely useless.

You completely ignore all feedback. Whether it’s the players that represent your game in the league, on streams or the playerbase, you have 0 affiliation to any of these groups. Huge issues rise to the top, a random nerf to something completely irrelevant and fine comes up, creating a completely new issue. Rinse and repeat.

While we’re on the topic of game balance, what is this trend about making the game more fast-paced and making heroes less mechanically demanding? We’ve seen many cases of heroes just having their attacks sped up or made more frequent without any trade-off. Take McCree for example, faster fire rate and nothing else to balance it out. Now if you get caught in McCree’s flashbang (which radius doesn’t match the visuals at all. Please fix) you’re basically dead because McCree has enough time to dink you 3 times, while you could barely do 2 dinks before the buff.

There are many other cases with increased frequencies of damage abilities. Such as:
Roadhog primary fire, Symmetra’s secondary fire, Pharah’s primary fire, Hanzo’s new ability, Doomfist’s primary fire faster recharge, Torbjörn’s secondary fire …

Nowadays, the balance team seems to be completely oblivious to the actual issues within the game balance. Huge personalities and your playerbase provide you with constant feedback, and all you do is ignore it, not talk about it and come up with random changes in an attempt to fix an issue that’s not even an issue. An example of this would be Reaper’s lifesteal overbuff or McCree’s fan the hammer damage buff.

Now, we have heroes dominating due to the lack of counters, heroes being totally unplayable due to being completely gutted and heroes who have to be played most of the time or you have a very high chance of losing.

This balance team is a joke.

Wake :clap: Up :clap:

just in case, this isn’t an anti-role queue post, this is an anti-balance team post

I like to see you do a better job.

Wake up. Its almost impossible to balance a MOBA Type game.

Even one little change makes even more problems

They are human, we tend to make mistakes

The only suggestion I have is to listen to feedback.

And for you guys who replied within 10 seconds after I posted this. I’m glad you took the time to read the whole post. Just as oblivious as the balance team.

All of it? Cause some of it is pretty useless. Only some of it? What is good and what is bad?

OMG insert hero killed me NERF PLS

Most the balance suggestions on here are stupid.

Right.

Any feedback that gets to them. Whether some of it is or isn’t useless is questionable.

They most definitely have listened to feedback in the past… so your suggestion is “no not that feedback, other feeback”?

No, they really haven’t. The game is balanced around OWL so it looks good and appeals to people who are new to the game/plan on getting it. Let’s be honest, watching the same comp of 6 heroes over and over while there are 31 heroes in the game isn’t very appealing.

When have I said that?

There will ALWAYS be a meta in OWL.
They will gravitate to whatever works best, some comp will always come out on top.

You are basically just trolling and ranting for no reason without any concrete evidence dude. Feedback should be specific and based on a logic reasoning, not on rants because you are hating X.

Also your opinion is subjective so yeah, no.

Meta isn’t the issue. The issue was they were so unsuccessful at making the role with the most heroes viable for more than a year.

Are you are saying the DPS role is unviable or something?
Yeah they weren’t in OWL for a long time…so what?
They need time to attempt to balance around 222.

Heroes not being picked is exactly what a meta is.

“Any feedback that gets to them. Whether some of it is or isn’t useless is questionable.”

That was a reply to this statement:

Basically I was questioning this comment as to what makes a post of feedback useless and what doesn’t.

They changed the way lootboxes worked, the way event drops worked and how skins were worked towards. They changed game modes, characters entire toolboxes and maps. All of these I can find forum entries suggesting the exact changes that were made. You could chalk this up to coincidence but it’s not like they ignore the community entirely.

As I’ve said they have been, so your suggestion of listening to feedback is either “listen to MORE feedback”, or “you’ve been listening to the wrong feedback”.

Player 1: Sombra is overpowered, nerf her!

Player 2: Sombra is underpowered, buff her!

Blizzard can’t please everyone, dude. If you honestly think that they can, then I pity you.

None of this is hero balance, though.

So to make it understandable and put it in your words.

Listen to more feedback, because so far it’s been a 0 for hero balance.

One is always more prominent than the other.

Great life advice from… reads note CptPooPoo. Clearly, a shining example of maturity and having one’s act together.

OP didn’t provide ANY solutions or proposals, and just whined on for several paragraph. Calling them out on it is perfectly justified.

What if they deem the feedback on here mostly trash?
