Not per the overtime changes . Don’t push, you don’t cap and lose.
This is not Call of Duty, let it be as it is.

the point of the changes in the game currently is to make dps more relevant in the game.
what kind of sense does it make to nerf dps when you are trying to make them more relevant?
Like…all some people see…is mercy… 
Lol. Next patch, Widow is gonna be meta 100%. Im calling it right now.

By that do you mean that people are seeing mercy in every game, because I must be playing a different one if that is the case
Hardly. There’s precedent for people leaving when a hero (or heroes) they enjoy are treated poorly. Heck, tonnes and tonnes of people left after the Mercy rework, and that made her into a super-busted hero. When you make changes of the scale that N7 describes, it’s not a stretch of the imagination to think people who enjoy support will either quit support or quit altogether.
It’s pretty bold to assume that people won’t leave Overwatch just because it doesn’t have a competitor, BTW. Most of us do have other games we enjoy.

Except that’s what most changes have gone forward as.
Auto lock? Out
Up hitscan value
Mass Rez
Moira heals
Ana heals
Brig utility…
Torb and brig armor…
I’m saying singling out just Moira and some tanks isn’t enough. You don’t have to like it. I don’t either. I’m saying that they should commit to it tho if they want do it.
My own preference be damned

and yet threat after threat of “if this doesn’t change im quitting” ive seen the same people still on the forums, still playing, still crying after the change went through.
You do realize there are a lot of people on the forums who don’t actually play anymore, right?

I’m saying that in a thread of nerf suggestions and a game design idea …you only see mercy.
Then let’s hope they do not listen to your ideas, because if they do, trust me, this game will be abandoned faster than you can blink. They are also smart enough to realize such changes as you are suggesting will ruin the game, not improve it.

because they refuse to do whats necessary to make anything else relevant
reverting armor changes and making tanks more tanky is going to make anything but snipers more relevant how?
you all cry about snipers, but actively support buffs to tanks and healing that make them the only thing usable.
Because the damage throughput is pretty high in-game currently, even with barriers and healing, you still die rather quickly. Nerfing barriers is a direct power creep for DPSers, ergo, they too have to be adjusted in their damage throughput. And it’s not enough to nerf just a couple DPSers, all DPSers need to be adjusted.

theyre still obsessed with it obviously if they are here.
just because someone says “I don’t play anymore” doesn’t mean that’s the truth either.
Do push? You’re dead and lose.
We have 3 years of lowering average TTK, and we’re in meta hell with the lowest kills and slowest pace because if you don’t invest in surviving and being able to recover from a mistake the fight’s lost.
Lowering TTK further only exacerbates that, as it’ll just continue to devolve into higher mistake threshold kits and higher insta-kill/denial saturation. We need higher TTK so a hero like 76/Cree has the time to get value instead of being insta-deleted.

I gotta say I agree with you there, I find their balancing a little odd at times and quite directionless sometimes, and I’d enjoy it if they made more coherent changes. But well … all we can do is wait for whatever they have in store - I guess it’s safe to say though it won’t be anything like we expect
Seems to be lasting fine post
Removal of mass Rez
Changing brig
Symm changes…twice
… I think it’ll be fine.
For you. For me in some ways… and not for others. For example… Most of my friends who play destiny or rainbow don’t overwatch. They find it too slow
Thus …the point to lower the ttk. Appeal to a demographic entirely. Not hodgepodge in between
Because -2 damage won’t affect snipers at all ?.
Also because they are only making TANKS more durable, but nerfing their barriers, which means less things that people can take cover with, allowing Hanzo and Widow especially to have a bigger pressure, as you could get oneshot at any moment, and with shields getting weaker, which means they will break faster, allowing the widow even more domination over the battlefield. I mean come on. It’s obvious.
It’s not that hard to verify. You’re kinda getting tinfoily on that point.
Also, perhaps they are obsessed with it, but the point is still they’ve quit playing, which is what I said. It doesn’t really matter how enthusiastic of a forum user they are if they don’t actually participate in the game.
