Ideas for overwatch 2, since dive is good in overwatch 2 dont make the same mistake as brigitte buff Heroes like Lucio who is a more high skill peeler that is enjoyable to play and play against dont buff healers too turbo thats what ruined overwatch 1, try to rework or introduce new heroes who preform a similar role.
My healer concept
Healer has 225 health so theyre surviveable they have 4 shotgun type bullets with a tight spread similar to doomfist that applies heal, heal has fall off at ranges so it has to be played from a similar range to Moira/Lucio the heal would do about 40-60ish per shot at close ranges since it has a higher firerate than Anas gun but is more range limited bullets could be reloaded at once or shot by shot similar to ashe
(Maybe it doesnt have to be a shotgun though maybe it could be 3 healing projectiles thrown or something)
The healer has a teleport that can be tethered to an allied player and they can TP to that player this would mean theyd be able to be seperated from a support like Ana and heal tanks while also being able to return to ana should she get dove so they dont have to adopt a unfun babysitting gamestyle.
Give them a boop maybe 2-4 seconds because ahrd CC should be minimized
Give them decent damage that is skillful has headshot multipliers etc
Have an abillity similar to defense matrix or orisas new spear spin that asorbs and soaks up a set amount of damage before ending and going on 8 second cooldown
New peelrs in overwatch 2 should be skillful but be more rewarding then brigitte we need a high skill high reward character that will hopefully replace brigitte at higher ranks while brigitte is better at lower ranks since shes easier to play briggite should be a low skill medium reward rather than a high reward character.
Im not a dev or balance god so maybe these numbers or ideas arent great its just an idea to get the ball rolling I want to see something replace brigitte at mid-high ranks thats more skillful but rewarding, and helps healers in overwatch 2 while being more skillful and fun to play and fun to play against, I dont want them to introduce a new Brig 2.0 character that ruins the game for a year.
Lucios really good at this but he also is very important in rush so sometimes hell be more ahead with rein thats why im suggesting a new one. (That or his a cheeky reddit lucio Redshell enjoyer)
Brig is also just a lot better at peeling than lucio while also being a lot easier to play if brig was worse at peeling I could see lucio being a more high skill peeler for higher ranks.
first, brig is an inanimate being and can’t ruin anything, the only thing that put this game in the limbo of oblivion was the horrible game design.
you can complain about big AOE heals, but forget that often your team needs to go through chokes and the enemy team just send death spam to your team, it doesn’t require AOE damage spam skill.
brig 1.0 was released because diving was extremely broken into numbers that don’t exist today.
and she needs a rework, so she doesn’t become an apathetic and meaningless character in the game.
Supports in general come with overloaded kits because it is in game design that they are operational in supporting 5 other players in random conditions.
In fact, they weren’t designed to be supporters, but to be first-rate healers for the entire team.
nerfing heals does not affect them, but your teammates, to whom you will spam “need healing” when losing duels or just being in a bad position, believe me who will suffer the most from this are the dps and tanks themselves.
Brigs super lame though no one likes playing or playing against Brigitte shes low skill too much reward I want to see a more high skilled hero that replaces brig at higher ranks.
What ever I dont even play support anymore I only even made this thread to potentially give ideas to help support players idc if support sucks terribly in ow2.
Idk why ur gaslighting me
Yeah but I wanted the heal to be more skillful like you get 3 or 6 projectile heals 3 hitscan shots or smth.
And I wanted the damage to be more skillful to apply like lucio primary rather than swinging a hammer I just wanted a higher skill peel support whos fun to play and play against.
Argubly alot of the characters in this game are very similar at this point Ashe is just widow but without 1 shot.
Alright this makes more sense because what you orginally said was just a hero already in the game.
How would the healing work because healing is easy to apply for all heroes in this game besides maybe Ana on hyper mobility dps.
This is why people like Ashe more because she has to be more in the fight and less oppressive to play against unless she has a pocket where she can feel oppressive but that’s two heroes
Probably like doomfist primary with a tighter spread and the heal has fall off at further ranges.
But im not the idea guy im just making suggestions doesnt have to be my idea just trying to get ideas started.
Here is a trick to making supports: If peeling is required outside of your own kit, it’s going to fail for 90% of the playerbase.
All supports should be able to self peel. OWL and streamer videos are extremely misleading because the amount of teamwork shown doesn’t exist for the majority of the population.
