I’ve seen a lot of posts about damage creep and how tanks are super weak so, what are your ‘fixes’ to make Overwatch great again? It can be anything, changes to stats, reworks, or full-on deleting heroes.
Buff Winston and see what happens is what I would do.

I enjoy winston so im all for it!
Nerf almost every character until they’ve reached a power similar to Solidier in the current state of the game. To compete with other characters of their kind or to make an outdated kit good. All over seen Blizzard do is buff and buff and buff. The burst in this game is immense and is forcing barriers. I just feel like this would give the more niche heroes as well as all the tanks to actually be usable in 90% of the games they play.

- However keep her power level as she is, in other words dont net nerf her
Maybe too much at once, but that’s just my take on it.
It’s fine if you disagree, I don’t blame you, but I see all these nerfs as a necessary evil.

I like theses changes they seem really fair.
I would nerf every hero except genji because genji is still horribly underpowered. It is unacceptable for any hero to be within even 50% of the power level of genji so we must buff him a lot. Yesterday I saw someone playing a support/tank having fun and helping the team. This is UNACCEPTABLE. Genji is the only one who should have fun.
Im thinking that you’ll think otherwise if they nerfed all the characters besides genji in his current state.
I would realize that the game roles are unbalanced, and I would set about fixing them.
I would make the Supports way more about helping DPS than they are now, because they enable tanks way way more than they enable DPS.
Then, I would rebalance tanks / supports / dps after that by testing for impact.
If a hero has low amounts of impact, then, they would win more games on average when they are the lowest SR in the team.
If a hero has high amounts of impact, then, they would win more games on average when they are the highest SR in the team.
I would modify heroes to have roughly the same level of impact.
This would lead to the tanks having more independence from the supports, since they will be effected by them less, and be buffed to take that into account.
This would lead to the DPS having less independence from the supports, for similar reasons.
The 3 roles could be adjusted to have the same impact, WITHOUT making the game a slow slog, because damage would be a little less, but, healing would be a lot less, without making the supports irrelevant.
This would help fix the “tank / supports decide the meta” because, yes, if 2 of your roles are tied at the hip they will.
It would ALSO help the DPS vs Tank/Supports thing we are all away of, since, there won’t be a side which have to be balanced against the other 2 sides working together.

I’d like to see what these changes would do to the game.

I’d also like to see infinite ammo zen.
I’d be happy to see the JJonak nerf removed.

People who still think Genji is still weak per se just want him to be the be-all end-all good-in-every-situation DPS. However I don’t think he’s entirely broken either. Overtuned is the key word here.
People call it that, but I really don’t think he was the reason why they nerfed him

That may be true, but it can still go.
It says something about the awesome power of JJonak that people attributed it to him.
I don’t either, but, I’m pretty sure nerfs will come eventually.
Play a little more and you will realise he is totally busted. Best hero in the history of the game. I don’t think its that close honestly. Release Briggite has nothing on current genji.
Don’t think that OW will ever be great again but here are some basics that are needed to be done to at least save it from getting worse …
- balance OW and OWL separately
- delete roleQ and rework LFG
- rework back to low, medium and high skill heroes
- stop forcing winrates
- ban smurf accs from comp
- add more content

What do you mean by rework LFG?
I think that’s an exaggeration. Release Brig could do decent healing, peel for herself and other supports, tank in the frontline, AND had good damage. And if she stacked her ‘E’ with her ult I believe a 200 HP hero could have 425 HP.
Like I agree Genji is a bit overtuned, but she is not anything like launch Brig.
Genji at least is more dependent on the players’ skill, even if he is easier now.

1st: add a function quick LFG which works like current roleQ for players who want 2-2-2 but don’t want to build groups themself
2nd: make matchmaking faster by lowering restrictions

HOW WOULD YOU ‘FIX’ THIS GAME?
Force devs play it 8h a day for 1 year straight. Not reached GM - fired, next one. Untill game become fixed.
