Imbalance In The Game

After the new rework, along with the addition of Brigitte into competitive, I have found myself getting frustrated to the point where I have uninstalled the game from both my PC’s until this issue is fixed.

Brigitte is way too strong in the current meta, as many have already said. Here abilities allow her to 1v1 almost any dps in the game, along with being able to put a crippling amount of pressure onto tanks and flankers. I understand this was why she was put into the game, but it was way too much. Brigitte alone has seen to Tracer becoming completely not viable, who has been a must pick ever since the game’s release, and has severely punished any flanker main. All of this was only because support mains were whining about getting picked when they were out of position. Great. Not to mention, Brigitte has a complete lack of skill involved with her kit. She does not need to aim, has two stun abilities on very short cooldowns, a better version of torb armor, and a passive heal. “But Brigitte takes game sense to play!” may cry the Brigitte mains. Yeah. They do. But so does every single other hero in the game.

The new Hanzo, in mild terms, is overpowered. I have had plenty of time to play against and as the reworked Hanzo. His storm arrow can one shot Tracer in the head and has a hitbox so large that he doesn’t even need to aim his arrows for them to land. Playing Tracer, Hanzo is possible the scariest 1v1 to play against (with the exception of Brigitte). You could be the best Tracer in the world only for a Hanzo to look within a mile radius of you and click with his storm arrow and bam; you got out-skilled.

The issue with Overwatch in its current state is that it is heavily based around a certain meta. In every single competitive season so far, there has been a meta that was very strong and could win against almost any comp. With Blizzard constantly going through a cycle of changing heroes, the meta is always defined by overpowered and under-powered heroes. Blizzard buffs a hero, making them overpowered, and then months later they realize, only to nerf the hero into the ground again. The way Overwatch is being handled, there will never be a balanced roster. A possible fix would be a complete rework and balanced update that balanced every hero in the game at once. This would take awhile, of course, but would probably make this game at least partially fun to play.

Hanzo is more OP than Brig. I think we should just nerf Hanzo. If Brig stays the niche pick she is in OWL no change is needed. She is still getting played because of Hanzo. She has team synergy with Hanzo. She also has the shielding to stand up to the damage he can do.

Many pros think Brigette is fine.

In my opinion, Brigitte was 100% needed and she isn’t overpowered, she can easily be killed. The main skill is long ranging her or playing Pharah to counter her.
