Is Anyone Else Tired of Reworks?

It also doesn’t help that it makes learning a hero feel pointless. What if one day they decide “Eh, X is kinda low on winrate…let’s rework 'em!” And suddenly all the time you put in to the hero was for nothing

Rez is not faster and complex

When mercy moved into single res with the valk she became more of a involved character. That moved a lot more. She even had that second res to pop off again while getting that ball mode for her gun.

Mercy used to play a lot more safely because your value was so tied to your ultimate. She’s definitely became more complex of hero doing more then what she used too

I’m a mercy main that played her all the time. I remember how mass res used to be

I don’t know why you’re talking about this because it was removed over half a year ago now.

Because that was part of the Change before they said it was to strong and removed it.

Mercy was faster paced but they had to nerf her kit. It’s relevant to the context

46

So you agree she no longer is? You’re discussing hero reworks, so is it not sensible to be talking about the respective reworks in their latest state? You can’t say Mercy feels fast paced when that was changed 9 months ago now.

They tried to make her faster paced when she had her rework yes? My point still stands.

What they done to her now is just nerfs to balance her. They didn’t do it to change her playstyle. They did it to balance the character. it’s irrelavent when we are talking about reworks changing the play of the character.

The devs still had the intention of making her a faster paced hero but balance ended up pulling the character back later

Not against the major reworks ,I just hate the way blizzard usually does it.

I have a lot of things I’m sick of on the consoles:
Cheaters using exploits
CC
Hanzo being overpowered
Symmetra underpowered
Inconsistent damage (see cheaters)
Inconsistent geometry leading to exploits (see cheaters)
Mouse and Keyboard exploiters

Why play if none of this will be fixed? Only promised to get fixed?

I hate all of the Reworks maybe except Symmetra

Mercy was broken
Bastion was a good step but he got nerfed hard after his Rework
D.Vas Missles are annoying and can deal insane damage
Hanzo is the most broken think i hv ever seen ( i really think a Goldfish has make the idea of this Rework )
Sombra is fine but very annoying as a Wrecking Ball Main

The only1 i like is Symmetra she feels a bit UP but whit good communication her teleporters can work pretty good only her Main Weapon is garbage

Im already scared of The Torb rework and after the big mistake of Mercyss and Hanzos Rework im also scared when i heard that a Hero i going to get Rework

Plz Blizzard dont ruin Torb

Yes. Heroes are reworked and left in unhealthy or bad states for months.

In fact, this does apply to heroes like Bastion or Hanzo - Hanzo was op for a good while. Bastion got nerfed and ignored for over a year and he still sucks.

I’d elaborate more but mobile hates me.

This is basically how I see reworks, and I think it seems fairly consistent as an opinion; https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/307/138/8f3.png

No. I’d be more tired of heroes sitting in bad spots or stagnating because some folks are afraid of them being reworked. It’s more fun than it’s ever been for me, and all the reworks have been an improvement imo, even the ones that aren’t necessarily successes.

The game would be worse off without reworks.

I enjoy change, so no. Keeps things fresh :slight_smile:

I think all the reworks should have been completely new characters. Sort of like how fighting games have carbon copies or similar characters. Ryu, Ken, and Akuma from street fighter all have similar move lists but different play styles. I wouldn’t mind seeing something like that in Overwatch. Where the original version of a character would have stayed the same and the rework would be a similar character. So we would have 2 Hanzo characters, 2 Mercy characters and 3 different Symmetra characters.

every rework just removes unique aspects of the game

mass rezz, shield generator, scatter arrow.

in a few years we will basically be playing COD

I agree completely. Every rework it feels like we get closer to simply having loadouts with certain abilities and weapons, rather than heroes.

I agree. I hate the reworks, and sadly while they try their very best to…make characters function. The games new content is lacking

59

I’m sick of Blizzard’s first solution being a rework.

Scatter Arrow one shotting tanks? Okay, why not reduce the damage?

Mass Rez resulting in too many players Rezzed per game? Okay, why not cap multi-man-Rez to three and only rez the three most recently killed players in Mercy’s range?

There are ways to solve things without replacing entire kits and abilities. Blizzard just seems to be too quick to slap a REWORK button to solve a potential problem.

More and more heroes gets made more braindead so i would suggest to rework widows shots to have Firestrike size, give tracer 250hp and remove 1 blink for that, low ranks balanced and more accessible :slight_smile:
