The only hero that really needs a nerf is baptiste IMO

Mei just needs a hard revert on everything since GOATS and Hanzo is complicated. Those are really the only 2 that need anything.

This is literally the only buff sheā€™s gotten since July 2018 when GOATs came out.

And itā€™s not even that useful.

Endothermic Blaster

  • Primary fire damage increased from 2.25 to 2.75 (45 to 55 damage per second).

Donā€™t see Reaper or Doomfist much. If any damage heroes should be nerfed especially right now is Hanzo and Mei to lose her freeze multiple people at once.

ā€œa hard reset on everythingā€, eh? :thinking:

Does this include the Ice-Wall Nerf?

Lol probably not.

Btw, what do you think about these changes:

āœ… Mei: Slow duration 1.5sec -> 0.75sec

I figure Mei is probably gonna get some sort of nerf, and Iā€™m trying to think of how to nudge her out of toptier into ā€œjust below toptierā€.

I hope that mcrree get the fire rate revert and dont forgrt mei

Probably Sigma too.

Nah, Bap and Sig will be nerfed, and the devs still wonā€™t understand how powerful Mei and Orisa are. Orisa is just, well, Orisa, and Mei is a tank in the DPS slot (she needs to be reworked into the tank slot).

This is how you can tell people donā€™t know much about Mei.

Exactly what do you think would be reverted?

a big fat nerf will do

While Arthin is wrong about how many changes there are, keep in mind before GOATs and around the time of Brigā€™s release they buffed Mei and Reaper in preparation for a possible tank heavy meta

Well, I am on board with some more indirect Mei nerfs.

āœ… Mei: Slow duration 1.5sec -> 0.75sec

Hes fine

20 charsssss

Hanzo is the only one I am confident inā€¦ Because they confirmed it.

Now, who needs nerfed is a different story than who will. I would not be surprised if Orisa dodged proper balance again.

17

I can guarantee Doomfist wonā€™t be nerfed.

18

I donā€™t think they should nerf Doomfist. The last nerfs he got put him where he needed to be; good in the hands of a good player, bad in the hands of a bad player. I donā€™t usually have to play my whole game around a Doomfist on the other team and I can count on one as a functional ally.

Bap donā€™t need the buff he got last patch

Doomfist needs rework/massive adjustment, nerfing does nothing meaningful for him cuz itā€™s a repeat of history.

Others I agree (I play hanzo most, I think he needs a nerf and rightfully so)

They confirmed ā€œchangesā€ - donā€™t think for a moment that certainly means nerfs.
