Learn from Paladins regarding balance

General Discussion

You know… you guys should really learn from Paladins when it comes to balance.

Its obvious that your chaotic approach to buffs and nerfs isnt really working for you, isnt healthy for the game, and is just making everyone angry.

In Paladins, every hero is buffed, and when EVERY hero is broken af, then that means the game is technically balanced.

Just fine tune and buff everyone to be as good as Hanzo or Doomfist and the game should balance itself out.

Just nerf the ultimates to be less powerful but be used more often, maybe add some extra health in global because of the damage surge and you’re done.

slightly alter some characters that were a bit of an issue but ignore others because of the the Pick Ban?

I play Paladins actively as well and I can say; Overwatch does a wayyy better job.
Heros in Paladins are so broken, it is not even fun anymore.
It is hard for them to balance it because with those cards you can do so many things.
You can, for example, build IO that way, that she can full heal a tank ever 2 Sekonds.

But that’s good Balancing!

How?
Like you have such great mobility, a stun, a heal , DMG, a knockback…?

Pip could do so instantly day one with his legendary. I have the opposite conclusion you do, Paladins is getting better, while Overwatch is getting worse.

Io’s mobility is really bad compared to most though.

You can skill it up and it has a short cooldown.
And oc it cant be too strong because the other parts of her kit are overloaded as well

I do think she is a little too strong when Luna is up, but she does have the issue of her main healing being much more strict than Seris, and having to commit to damage or heals.

16

I personally think that Seris is just broken af when choosen the right cards.

In general multiple things there are hard broken. I started playing this game, finished my placements. Diamond…
I dont even know the maps… And forget to buy items… x3

I wouldn’t call Paladins a balanced game … it’s in a better position than OW tho. Thing is OW has a much higher focus on ult combos and counter picking and strategy while Paladins focuses much harder on FPS gameplay and individual skill … that’s why Paladins is easier to balance.

her hitboxes are pretty generous on the arrow, plus I just get the card that gives 25% dmg reduction on who I heal, with card loadaouts to lend to regenerating Moonlight and CDR on Luna, from there I can outduel most DPS if they are solo flanking and then help my tank out.

Really her arrow hit boxes are just large and it’s easy to burst down heroes who aren’t paying attention.

What is this power creep anyway amirite?

Buffs! Buffs for everyone!

Hey if everyone is broken then no one is
