A big problem facing a lot of Ball players in lower elos is that they hit map geometry that hinders their speed.
Decreasing the hitbox size would make Ball a lot easier to move around with; therefore, he would also be a lot faster, meaning he could get value faster.
Also, it would make hitting cooldowns such as hook and sleep on Ball harder, solving a pert of the feeding issue.
Also also, it would make certain techs like rebound much easier, since you have a larger window to get fireball.
Thoughts?
Would also make it harder for him to roll into enemies, right (assuming that function shares the same hitbox, which it may not)? Personally, I’d rather see him get CC immunity while using adaptive shields. He still gets obliterated by CC in OW2.
I bet they could make it so that the fireball hitbox remains the same.

Be very careful buffing ball. He isn’t as weak as everyone thinks he is especially in the right hands he’s quite literally a nightmare to handle
Yeah definitely. They can have as many different hitboxes as they want.
Blizz confirmed that they’re going to buff him, and I suspect he’ll be instant meta afterward. 
I agree that he’s not as weak as others think.

I hope so if I can reach GM in his current state he’s gonna be hell on earth with buffs

Noice! Congrats. 
You have any general tips for him in OW2? He was my tank main in OW1 but I’ve been obsessed with Queen and Doom lately.

Disruption is more vital than slams off cooldown in OW2. In OW1 it was the opposite. Learn to double boop, put your grapple past the enemy you want to boop, boop once, slow down for a second, pick up speed again and boop again. Good for environmental kills, and good to do this to boop them into somewhere you can wall bounce. Double boop wall bounce slam then shoot a few bullets is a dead squishy. The basics still apply prioritizing supports etc. with his big boop you can boop enemies preferably squishies into your team and swarm them. But the basis is disruption is key

Sweet. Thanks. Damn I didn’t even know you could still double boop. Thought it was removed. 
My wall bouncing is such trash. I keep forgetting to practice it. Gotta get on that.
If you want, and are actually interested in getting better on ball drop your discord I can help you. I’m coached by former OWL player Muma I can give you loads of tips and tons of wall bounce spots

I disagree, the only way that should happen is if he had a headshot spot in ball form.
The hero already pretty much never dies. He certainly doesn’t need to be more tanky or have better movement.
Would you mind giving me some tips as well? If you can get to GM then you can give me a few pointers.
He definitely needs buffs but not to his movement or hit box imo
Drop your discord I’ll give you some tips
Agree with this. Sombra isn’t even really a counter to Wrecking Ball anymore, which is a big indirect buff he got.
