I really like this idea. It would also give you an incentive to run away from her since as it stands, she just chases you and you die anyway. Now you’d die more slowly and maybe risk dragging her into an unfavorable position away from her team. She’d have to pick between getting gold elims and getting gold healing anyway but for a larger number.
Please tell me one of your mains is Moira. That would be beautiful.
She is, but the bolded was pretty much my snide comment that most people probably think their mains are good to go :p. Could you imagine fading into a backline with an RPG?
I could.
Make her giant crit box a bit smaller. That’s all.
Orisa
Protective Barrier
Ashe?
DVa. I’ve always hated how big it is while also being extremely easy to hit.
I’ll take a swing at this with: Roadhog
Hog’s main problem is that he’s a big fat ult battery, so let’s try to fix that. The main goals for the rework are:
Making him less of an ult battery
Making him less of a fat dps and giving him actual protective abilities
Lets start with a new passive: Thick Skin. At max health, Roadhog will still give max ult charge to enemies. At 75% and below, only 60%, and at 50% health and below, only 30% ult charge.
Instead of giving him a flat ult charge reduction, this will make it so that he can’t be melted for a lot of charge. A good hog will stay at around 75% health without outside healing, so he will usually be less of an ult battery.
Second, a change to Take a Breather. All allies within a few meters of Hog when he’s using take a breather will take 50% less damage, and the other 50% is transferred to Hog himself. To balance this, Take a Breather healing is increased to 350. (Note: Take a Breather’s damage reduction still exists, so technically he’s only taking 25% of his allies’ damage)
Why do this instead of healing allies like in the 1-3-2 experiment? Well, to put it simply, its more focused on protection rather than healing. Healing should be your healers job, so this would work better. This would also be better for quick saves, like when an enemy Tire is released. Also, this would play into his lore of being a bodyguard
If you watched that hitbox reveal video that was on here not that long ago, her hitbox isn’t actually that big. It just seems that way because it’s in such a terrible spot that you have to try not to hit it.
I don’t know where else you’d put it, though, so all I can think of is to get rid of it altogether.
why not the ability to throw turrets/fountains? even brig can heal at range.
not a mercy main, but i do have some problems with her. she is SUPER team dependent and can’t even use any of her abilities besides a wimpy pistol without teammates. These are just my ideas to make her A. a better solo-healer on the level of moira and ana, B. more fun, engaging, and self-sufficient, and C. in line with the original vision for the character (rez, angelic savior)
*STAFF
*GUARDIAN ANGEL
*RESURRECT
to recap
-guardian angel no longer depends on teammates
-rez as an incrimental ultimate ability
i don’t think making it a channeled ability would be fun tbh.
anyways, what I would do is I’d grant D.Va a lot more air when demeching, and make the demech/remech mechanic more reliably a self-heal and escape tool. Maybe grant a bit more armour like 300/300 or 200/400, let’s be honest that will make no difference to high ranks but will help make her less melty when facing beams.
Here’s one of my takes on Doomfist being reworked into a Tank, though I’d love for current Doomfist to stay in the game at the same time. Numbers can obviously be changed for balance purposes.
Doomfist:
General:
Primary Fire:
Rocket Punch:
Uppercut:
Guard:
Slam:
Meteor Strike:
Cause I wanted to have that nostalgic feel to her.
And it just felt like being able to throw 6 constructibles felt like overkill. 3 is one thing, but there’s probably a reason she never had it before her damage rework.
what if she had three of each, but she could throw them?
also, no tp? its like my favorite part of her atm and forever.
Rein
Symmetra
All of that aside though, this idea alone would be nice too
I think that would really give her a ton of agency on the battle field. She’d have actual utility (especially with her nerfed teleporter) and unlike 2.0, it wouldn’t all boil down to “more HP/more Damage/more Barrier”.
From there, they could even experiment with losing some of the damage or the slow, whichever feels best and putting that power into her weapon or other abilities.
I wanted to keep Symmetra feeling familiar, but also moving away from her previous kits; it’s why only her weapon and turrets have stayed the same.
In all honesty, I did want to try and include either the Shield Generator or Teleporter in there, but the disco ball was kinda taken up by Shield Syphon, and I couldn’t find a way to implement Symmetra’s tp without either making the kit more bloated than it needed to be, or just giving it as a second choice of ultimate again in its previous support iterations. It could work as a second ultimate again, but I think there’d be the same issue it had when competing with the disco ball before, where one ultimate looked better than the other. Obviously there’d be cases where the tp would be better than Photon Field, just as there were better times for tp over disco ball, but if there was a choice, I feel like most people would just default to using Photon Field over to as its more universal than ultimate tp is.

LOL - that primary fire would do 1000+ plus damage, you’d just insta kill anything! In 4 meters… hmmm… not sure about that one my dude.
Fine, 1.5 meters!
Also, the spread is ridiculous. Even with the current Hog at point blank it’s hard to hit all of your pellets. You’d have to shove the shotgun down their throat for it to hit all of the pellets.
Also, I kind of meant for it to be op because I didn’t read the original post at the top at time.
I main McCree, I would only revert the recent FB nerf because it basically made his kit even worse and his stun FtH combo is terrible right now, you can’t even pull it off most of the time. Now that I think about it I would do something about his ult because it’s either a suicide button or a fast reload mostly.
