correlation is not causation. Again, Orisa being bad right now could be caused, for example, by the possibility of someone swapping to Zen to break shields faster.
You donât know for a fact that sheâs bad in a vacuum. It could just be an unfavorable meta. Typically when you play offmeta characters, there is a counterpick that is also offmeta that counters your offmeta pick. For example Reaper vs Winston.
So again winrates are not necessarily indicative that the hero is UP you could ban Zen and Reaper 1 week and I bet her winrate would go up 5% or more.
We donât need to buff heroes needlessly because there is a counter to them in the game that happens to be easy, not hard, to flex to in current meta.
Nerf the counters instead maybe. As an example in my opinion Reaper could use 1-2 more s on Wraith and more sound on Shadowstep.
I donât know, I feel like bunker meta was way overblown. Everyone got so caught up in halt hooks that they ceased trying to counter it altogether.
Orisa Sigma made sense as a dominant meta because it was the first time that sort of strategy was viable. Theyâve tuned those three tanks down now, so we should be fine buffing Orisa back up a little.
But yeah, bunker wasnât much different than pirate ship strategies, with the addition of Baptiste being the only real difference. Baptiste was never exceedingly good though, so I doubt he was carrying that meta in much capacity.
Bunker was the first time Orisa was meta, so I think that one may have cropped up not because she was too strong, but more because people didnât understand how to deal with Orisa properly since she wasnât highly utilized before that.
I was referring to how her abilities play out with my âdoesnât belongâ remark. I didnât wanna emphasize the shooting aspect, more the strategy, HP management, mouse flicking etc one. Winston doesnât take aim but actually takes good mechanics and is one of the hardest tanks to play. Requires a ton of gamesense too. Orisa, you could program AI to play her Iâm very sure.
Well, if you look at the statistically most played heroes, a lot of her counters arenât actually being played. Weâre seeing a very solid amount of hitscans who are supposed to be relatively weak against her.
Also, she should have a higher winrate in her niche situations she is played in. But, she isnât.
I still firmly believe that a buff from 600 to 700 HP barrier will not hurt much.
