So you don’t like snipers and you don’t like Crowd Control heroes.

One shots are a necessary evil if you want supports to be as strong as they currently are.

Pharah it makes no sense to have on flying character in the game. She either hard counters or gets hard countered no middle ground

I don’t really have any problem with shooty shooty heroes, McCree and 76 are fine. Even Hammond has hitscan. I love aim based heroes but you should have some time to react to it and be able to fight back rather than just getting sniped and then having the friendly sniper warning voice line pop up.

All of these heroes belong in the game. Especially, Doomfist in general.

So the heroes that you don’t like don’t belong?

Agree with your list, also: Moira (WoW shadow priest), and Pharah (flying doesnt belong in a shooter unless everyone can do it e.g. Unreal T, Tribes).

Are you trying to say that one of the most generic classes of character ever does not belong in your FPS

12

Yes because this isn’t a pure FPS, it’s an FPS based around abilities. Abilities don’t make sense if you don’t have fights landing long enough to make use of them. I feel like I already explained this.

Did I not give an explanation to each as to why they don’t really belong? It’s not that I don’t like them, I like playing Hanzo and Widow even though I’m not that good at her but the 1 hits are just not fitting for this game.

I’m confused on “where” you think Overwatch was going if these heroes don’t fit whatever vague mold you think there is. There isn’t even a single thing these heroes have in common, you just don’t like them.

14

You said the ttk should be longer in a game like Overwatch. Without one shots ttk would be extremely long do to healing.

I guessed you didn’t like them because the are the witch hunt of the month on the forums, where people who previously had no problem with the hero now hate them despite the fact the often nothing changed about the part of them they hate.

i agree with all,

the weirdest comment i have ever seen comming from ow team is that balancing a sniper is near impossible since she would be op or underpowerd to fast, then why add them in the first place?

Call of Over, Black OP(s).

20 shots.

Tank main reporting in can confirm shooty bang players aren’t alone…

Nah, all of them belong in OW, you just need to learn their MUs/counters.

They’re just small rebalances away from being perfect (Well, @ Widowmaker and Doomfist, Brig seems to be fine as is.)

remove widow then re balance her to better fit a role rather than being an all or nothing risk/reward pick…
