The correct way to play Pharah is to never press Q.
You didnāt ask me, so forgive my interjection.
My answer: Remove chain beams. TLDR: It doesnāt fit Mercy and is hellish to balance.
Winston doesnāt need a buff heās annoying as he is
True.
Also, I wanna be theā¦ well, you.
And if all it comes down to is her ultimate I person donāt think that a huge deal
The hero is still the hero most of the time.
I don;t see how pressing Q makes or breaks a hero when it comes to fun factor but that is just me
TLDR: Itās mostly (but not limited to), about how Valkyrie interacts with Mercyās skill set.
Itās not though. Mercy is relatively balanced. Imo, I feel the -10hps nerf was unnecessary and we shouldāve had that big support/sniper patch go through without it. Mercy is a mobile healer that pairs amazingly with DPS heroes and such and in that sense them saying āAshe might make her more relevantā etc is very much true.
At the same time, how much of that relevance do you want? Pharmercy, Mercy pocketing McCree, Mercy pocketing Widow, Mercy pocketing Reaper, Mercy rezzing from cover that pocket when they go down, etc. That has ALWAYS been a big and defining part of her kit. Yet if you tip that scale too much, then you get āREE DPS WATCH DAMAGE HEROES TOO STRONG ETC.ā
You STILL get that now, even when the meta is literally no damagee heroes.
Iām sure theyāre aware. They probably just donāt consider them a high priority. Neither do I.
I donāt need them to say that directly, I think itās implied. I think itās clear they do keep fun in mind, fun to play, fun to play against, even to a fault. Even if they did say exactly what you quoted, it wouldnāt change a thing as far as the complaints. And itās not like people would be convinced of itās sincerity and stuff like that. Then youād have people like Titanium saying the stuff they did in this thread. Achieves nothing.
Thinking he means a nerf / buff aka a rework to beams
Honestly still waiting on someone else to report this on YouTube
Also rushing to order a pizza (super hungry)
The more I look back at this video, the more upset I get.
I realized a few things. 1. They have no idea how to balance their game, and the reasons for changes or no changes is poor. 2. A lot of these āchangesā seem very catered towards OWL. Remember how several people said OWL had no influence on the game? This is getting out of control now.
Ragtagg says heās gonna play Warframe now thanks to the balance changes.
Blizzard, hire the community
And you do? No reason for such absolutes. I have lots of problems with their balancing decisions as well, no one benefits from this sort of extreme perspective though.
Tbf Iād rather people kept their conspiracies to themselves.
LOL. Yeah, letās not do that.
I donāt actually see it that way, I think some of these changes exist because of what the next hero does. What that isā¦ well still jugglingā¦ (Plus hard to entertain ideas on a empty stomach.)
during mercy 1.0 resurrect was one of the fastest charging ultimates in the game because having resurrect ready at all times was very important during mercy 2.0 Valkyrie was one of the slower ones but omg it kept literally everyone alive right now itās relatively quick again because it doesā¦ some stuff i guessā¦ the truth is that mercy doesnāt do much when sheās not pressing Q sheās resilient heals for a considerable amount and has good survivability but she doesnāt have the flexibility that other support heroes have thatās why she heavily relies on her ultimate to be a good hero
And she did before the rework?
This stuff is like listening to addicts rn Iām not going to lie. People got a feeling, a rush of endorphins, and they got hooked, then it was taken away. Now they scream about how much they want that rush again, and point the finger at and blame everyone else. Every little thing they can think of to place blame on they do. Flankers, DPS mains, OWL, whatever.
Itās really kind of crazy to watch.
What a nice person you seem to be lol
i wonder how they view balance though especially in a game like this where some characters might end up low tier but fully functional in casual settings.
is the intention that every hero should be playable without being a detriment to their team in high ranks or is that just something the overall public community wants that canāt actually be realized due to the nature of this game?
or is the intention to force characters to be viable and shift them in and out with patches?
will there ever be a happy medium where you stop balancing the game?
You know what? Yes, I do. Iāve developed for very small indie games (In one right now, actually.) in the past, scheduling, 3D modeling and the time it takes, texturing, mapping the time it takes to create a object/set of code. Not to toot my own horn, but Iād say Iām qualified more than most.
I believe in this absolute because I had lost all my faith in their balance team in just under 2 years. It takes a LOT for a game company to do that with all the games Iāve seen and grown. Overwatch is by far the worst offender.
Iām not wrong though? What is making them the most money right now? OWL. Who plays OWL? Pros. Who do they need to keep happy so they can keep running OWL? The pros. It hasnāt been officially confirmed, but you canāt deny that a LARGE portion of updates have been made and catered towards being flashy and skillful, something that fits in with a esports setting.
Sigh
What has happened to this once beautiful game
Why shouldnāt armour be adjusted??
It hurts some heroes alot and some hardly at all which clearly need to be addressed. The meta is 3 tanks and 3 support. So what is so horrible about adjusting how armour works?
Tanks are still going to be important picks even after then changes
Scheduling, 3D modeling, texturing, mapping, all has nothing to do with balancing 30ish unique heroes with unique kits in a 6v6 objective based setting where you are given a set amount of time to move the game forward (payload, hybrid, 2cp, etc).
Not really.
Yeah, the balance team can do better. So? Iām not going to go as far as to say they have āno ideaā what theyāre doing or anything like that.
Like I said Iād rather you kept your conspiracies to yourself. Regardless, whatās inherently wrong with that? If say Reaper starts rolling low tiers, then I hope they will address that. Like they have addressed other heroes that roll through low tiers in the past. The fact they addressed that specific thing so many times in the past gives me hope.
Soā¦ Wtf is your point other than looking for something to blame?
