Hero Pools Update – June 8

You mean that wasn’t obvious? I assumed they were already gone forever.

No tank which provides CC should be resistant to it. Oh look, that’s sll of em.

100% this. Shooting moving targets in this game is annoying enough with a single-shot hitscan weapon, but projectiles and tracking weapons are downright frustrating.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone dumb enough to complain about crouching.

Having done some math, at their rate of putting out heroes that amounts to 8 1/3 years without a new DPS to even things out.

Yeah, no

Most of these suggestions shows that you have no understanding of the game.

Good, thank you for listening!

A physics engine overhaul is not coming before OW2 if ever

No.

Reworks are fine, but they shouldn’t have to strictly confine what makes a “tank” a “tank” or what makes a “damage” a “damage”

It’s exactly how supports went from supports i.e Zen/Lucio/Sym concepts to healers with Bap/Moira concepts and whatever Brigg 1.0 was supposed to be. Brigg 2.0 is just an inspire bot though sooo…

Please

A 20% duration reduction to all cc effects and a resistance to slows would be more than good enough

Echo was never a support and feels fine as a dps

I want more supports as much as anyone but heroes should be designed for said role, not just thrown in it to have more options. That’s how they’ll end up overnerfed and ignored, because the dev team doesn’t want to address the mess they made.

And sym is a damage now. Tough but it is how it is

Jeff already addressed this

multiple times

Dare to dream

Now you’re just asking for too much

One thing at a time so we can actually get more than nothing

individual pros already have more influence than the entire playerbase btw

So now that we’ve wasted half a year on the developer’s failed system, can we finally try community run hero bans?

Yes

Echo literally one was support in early concept stages. Sym also was not a support and always damage/utility-focused, which wouldn’t work in 2-2-2

They can still release DPS heroes if they feel like, but support and tanks should be their priority

Open queue is literally coming soon

Why would you want to play those maps? I highly doubt they could make them less awful and they’re out of ranked anyway (not sure about horizon actually)

Ngl, the existence of widow kinda requires that to be the case. Also zenyatta

you play mercy, she is the definition of hypermobility

What increased balance updates? Even if they went from every two months to every month their impact is so small.

This. Until they actually bother changing the meta heroes, they’re pointless at their current rate.

Once again, Thanks for the new effort into informing us of changes.

I hope this continues to be a habit and that you only improve on keeping us in the loop.

Thanks.

It would be pretty arbitrary to move characters into different categories if you’re gonna remove role queue anyway

The meta is extremely diverse right now at all levels. I don’t understand why hero pools were necessary for OWL. If you want diversity at the OWL level, let teams ban certain heroes for the opposing team before each match.

Nah. I’m not in favor of more reworks. They rarely turn out well.

That’s insane. Even if they werent on hiatus from releasing heroes, until OW2, that would take forever. At 3 Heroes a year, that would take them over 6 years to equal out the roles. They can’t just not release a DPS hero for over half a decade. Like it or not, damage players are almost half the player base And there is no way that the developers would starve them of new heroes for that long.

Really, because it feels like I’ve been stuck in the same Rein Zarya meta for like five months now.
