I want some tips.
How am I supposed to make Orisa work in QP now? How should I play her? What should I do?

I gave up playing as Orisa ( and the tank role) after the devs guted her out ( reverting all the compensation buffs after her shield was nerfed). You cannot make her work whitout a stronger main tank and an Ana or Moira hard focusing you to keep you alive.
She is just to weak after the nerfs to fortify and her damage ( I did not used her shield for myself but for my support, thats why I did not care that mutch when they nerfed her shield).
So I am to intrested if someone can make her work as a main tank.

I also stopped playing tanks after all her nerfs.
But before someone say here on the forums “she’s fine, just get good”, I’d like to know if someone can explain me how to “get good” then.

You cant do anything with that paper shield.

You don’t. I play her in Quickplay Classic where i can switch out of tanking if need be. Tanks are so weak now that switching off the tank and going 4DPS or even 5DPS would steamroll a team with three tanks. (Ultimates galore!)
You don’t tank unless you actually know what you’re doing, otherwise, go DPS or Support. If the enemy has a shield tank, just focus fire on it with your DPS team.

Wow, we reached a good point with her.
I was hoping it could be just a phase, like when Brig was reworked and everybody was complaining, but after a certain time people just adapted to the new playstyle. I was hoping something like that could happen with Orisa.

Here is how you used to play Orisa
You agressively advanced onto a spot you wanted to occupy for your team with fortify and then you planted that beautiful shield of yours and shot everything with a soul. Your team would follow up and you kept at it till the enemies pulled back. Rinse and repeat.
Her fortify is meh and her shield evaporates before you place it so… now you pick Rein instead.

well when you lose most of your barrier health, 10% of your dmg reduction, with slower cooldowns, and reduced slowness on halt and 1 point of dmg on already low dmg gun., there is very little you can do with a faster rein with lucio on top and a more agile dva around eating your halts
but its okay 50 points of armour more than make up for any downfall she may have /s

Best way to play her is to walk back to spawn and press H

Sadly, you’re not wrong
I wonder if this is gonna be like D.Va’s situation, that after some buffs to her DM she was still bad, but after one simple buff to her mobility she became one of the best off tanks to have and stuff.
I wonder if there could be just a single change to help the situation…
I don’t know, man. I’m not sure if just one buff could help Orisa. Especially, because they seem to want to move away from the barrier stuff. And the “sit in one place”/bunker playstyle was her whole thing. But, if they want to move away from that, I don’t think you can fix her with a single buff.
Honestly, as far as D.Va goes, while the booster buff was good, I still don’t really think it was what she needed. Yeah, she had high mobility, cool. And a good D.Va could make use of that. But, it still didn’t fix her core issues. She still was the size semi truck and could get shredded pretty easy, DM was still a joke, etc.
Yes, it helped/buffed her. Much like 50% Life Steal did for Reaper. But there is a buff and a right buff. Just because it helps the character doesn’t mean it’s good for their overall health/balence or the overall health/balence of the game.

Well, Devs also look up for doing changes through the path of least resistance.
I guess they feel satisfied when minor changes get whatever positive results they were expecting.
This thread makes me sad. So many heroes get trashed then just sit there. Its hard to see a buff coming anytime soon when charas like Bastion have been left as they are

Yeah, but that’s the problem with the balance approach, in this game, as a whole. Sometimes the path of least resistance is not the path that leads to the best health of the character and the game.
I mean, if you buff Bastion’s damage to a 1,000 DPS per second or Iron Clad to 50%, He probably would get more play time. But that doesn’t mean it’s a good buff, overall.
You could buff Reaper’s Life Steal to 60% and he would get more play time, But it doesn’t fix his core issues.
I could keep going, but I think you see my point.
Sometimes the “quick and easy” way isn’t the best way

I mean i do understand that they nerfed her too much but Orisa in a 2-2-2 comp was kinda OP…
- Being technically a sniper with relativly good dmg
- Old Orisa had infinity shield…
- Have a mini-grav which will often give you 2 CC with one usage (First your target is being pulled back, Second is if you aimed it up into the air, they will fall down in a very predictable path and you and your team can burst them down or hit abilities on them easily.)
- Fortify is just an easy to use ability (for example compare to Rein’s situational abilities) and 50% dmg reduction while you also had almost infinite shield was waay too OP.
- Even her ult is much more less situational than other tanks ult… You just press Q and your whole team gets value immediately
So i’m not saying that she doesn’t need buffs/reworks but you have be very carefull with her.
