Oh those guys that play a game that sort of resembles Overwatch, but also doesn’t.

Didn’t blizzard already destroy one game by balancing for esports league.

This month, Sigma is the second most picked tank in GM, Orisa the third.
And as a matter of proportion, both Rein and Sigma have double Orisa’s pick rate and far exceed her win rate. While Zarya is just a shade behind Orisa for picks with a whopping 57% win rate, the second highest in the rank, behind the very very niche Pharah.
Orisa’s trends are not improving either. It looks like a lot of failed experimentation with her.

Can the devs please NEVER listen to him, he said that genji went from D tier to C tier when he received MAJOR buffs. He’ll just be bothered by anything that goes against his favorite hero (genji) even if that hero takes aiming skills (widow). I’m just FREAKING tired of him.

As if we need more burst in this game.

he’s consistently been a top 500 dps since launch
you don’t get there by being garbage at the game, and you certainly don’t get there by knowing nothing about it
hate on him all you want for how he acts, but you can’t justifiably say that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about

At least Fitzy is a very genuine and likeable person. You should take a look at samito’s streams and his chat, he basically plays genji like a noob genji player and then complains about brig being too op, when he just ulted her while the ulting mercy was hard pocketting her and the brig had her ult up.

They’re gonna change it appearently, the thing is why is there so much whining about armor, when torb used to generate armor and you were able to pick it up whenever you wanted to. People just can’t and don’t want to improve and evolve and just wanna cry and rage.

I do favour a Orisa 180° revamp from the shield patch like I said before.
Even ignoring OWL the tank meta is those 3 shield tanks going back and forth, Zarya has fallen considerably in the last weeks while Sigma as Rein or Orisa’s partner is rising.
Zarya is dropping and will drop further as the meta settles, but even if she doesn’t and ends up just as good as double shield heroes, that still makes Orisa and Sigma better than half the tank roster as far as GM ladder is concerned. Hardly bad for either, albeit once again, I would have devs revamp Orisa into a full on bunker barrier.
If you’re going to make such incendiary claims, you’d better show concrete evidence. As it stands, I’m not believing a word you’re saying. It’s not at all difficult or time-consuming to use the snip tool, and if you had actual evidence, you could have very easily posted it.
I at least appreciate people who don’t behind any facade about giving a crap about balance when they push their agenda through. It’s horrible, but at least it’s honest.
Imagine what kind of circus these forums are

Using a private little Discord where they just listen to streamers and pros is a pretty terrible way to balance the game. These people have their own agendas and what works for a very small segment of the population won’t work for everyone.
The game needs to be fun for the whole population or you have a problem. But it’s clear they balance around OWL viewership and what they think is the best to watch.
Also, a lot of these people are absolute morons. They need to balance more around actual data and the general population.

The devs should take their input with a grain of salt. These are the same " pros" that will leave Overwatch in a heartbeat when something else comes for example, Valorant. So many pros and streamers left overwatch for something new

Boy, when he pops a genji ult and dives an ulting brig hard pocketed by an ulting mercy and then complains, just means that his aiming his great, his game sense is… poor.

Sam is biased, you like it or not he only wants what he needs even if it means making genji into a staple hero that doesn’t need to swap to another hero.

Of course he is. It wouldn’t surprise me if the recent Moira changes were entirely because of him and his constant whining.
If the dev team is listening to guys like him, I’m jumping ship. I’m losing the last little bit of faith I had in this game.

Pros are also the only people who know how to play the game and how the game works at its most fundamental level.

I wouldn’t have anything bad to say about Samito and his “passion” for the game if he gave good criticism, suggestions, and ideas for all 3 roles.
But mentioned above, players like him have their own agenda and just want the attention and benefits to their own role. Not the game as a whole.
