Geoff with an interesting idea:
If you could make one change to your main that would be super fun but WILDLY unbalanced, what would it be?
Geoff: The one that comes to mind right now is giving Widowmaker and/or Wrecking Ball multiple charges of grapple. This would certainly fit the bill of wildly unbalanced, but damn if it isn’t fun to grapple multiple times in a row like Spiderman.
Imagine Widow literally as Spiderwoman around the map. LOL

Gonna assume that’s the spider woman that’s actually also Carnage too

Let’s take a look…
And just because, here’s one of my more harsh recent balance takes.
As well as a list of specific balance implementation posts.
Exp Card ideas to Fix Tanks
Balancing to solve "Rein or Lose"
Ending the Hanzo Hypocrisy
Pick system, instead of Bans
ImmoField HealthGating rework
OW2 PVP, Low Barrier problems
And I’ve also been meaning to make a post detailing how of Rein has an 800hp barrier, we’re right back into dealing with DoubleBarrier.
Since two AnchorTanks would be objectively stronger raw barrierhp, barrier breaking, and barrier regen.
It’s basically unavoidable for devs to solve DoubleBarrier either through balance, by getting rid of the close range peel options.
Ie. Frontline brawler Brig with no peel, tank Mei, ImmoField with a weakness to Dive, Accretion with a weakness to Dive, and doing something about those GOATs knockback changes (I.e. Treating ranged-knockbacks differently than pointblank-knockbacks).
Or some sort of 1x Tank, 1x Barrier, or Debuff if 2x Barrier gimmick.

The idea was to use your boops to knock enemies around (and projectiles, at the time his boop could reflect projectiles)
I’m begging you, give Lucio back the Pyro Airblast 
When did it say the entire community? As the people mentioned, are clearly part of the community.

I was watching Chro answer this question on his stream like a week ago. He said he would change Junkrats tire so it wouldn’t explode but instead you would just run people over with it. If you drive it into a group of the enemy team it would knock them away like bowling pins. People on their own would get run over. It clearly does a good chunk of damage when it hits people though.
That would be fun.

Yea, which is part of the overwatch community. Or do you think it should include each of the millions of people?

“The goal: achieve the seemingly unachievable–perfect balance.”
So, this card wasn’t supposed to be a joke after all? In any case, the “WILD” changes that Geoff and Josh themselves suggested sounded a lot more fun than most of what we actually got.
No matter how I look at it, I still stand by the opinion that this card - how it came out to be - was an utter waste of time and potential.

When they are referring to “the overwatch community” they are obviously referring to a portion of the community that helped drive the changes. Much in the same way that when you or others on the forums saying “Blizzard should…” you arent referring to the night time janitor that works at the blizzard office. You’re obviously referring tot he particular subset of Blizzard to which the context of your post would apply.

Not gonna lie, I had some ?'s above my head when I read this statement:
I realize some heroes did have some smaller changes like are mentioned afterwards, but my god there’s a lot of them that are in no way responsible changes.

“when Lúcio’s Jazzy skin was first going in it was supposed to have different music than the base skin, but since it wasn’t ready yet there was a Scott Lawlor voice recording that said “Jazzy speed song, go go go.””
PLEASE GIVE ME THIS I WANT IT SO BAD PLEASE SCOTT

I mean I thought they were fine for what they were trying to be (balance the pro scene while trying out things that would be fun to watch because its purely aimed at being a pro patch with 0 regard for ladder), but ya that is far from the perfect patch notes for live.
