Let me balance the game

[DynamiteGal-11347]

You had one job. I am disappointed.

-leaves dramatically-

[Rocktopus-11683]

Cool ideas but you’re going to want to wait until the hyper damage actually is in the game before expecting anyone to believe you. If the whole point of the OP was to create awareness for damage creep and sneak in some patch notes, good job.

[MagyTheMage-1534]

I dunno i dont like super ultra hard counters

I would also give winston a buff to be able to defeat.bastion but idk how

Note: ill go to sleep atm ill respond tomorrow

[Zorek104-1571]

I stop read when i see the reinhart buffS xd

[BliztDreams-2743]

Barrier:

• shields hp increased from 2000 to 2500
• shields regen incresed from 199 to 250

Passive: Crusader valor

• While reinhart Has his shield up, He takes 50% reduced knockback, and stun duration is reduced by a flat 0.5 seconds

This changes prepare reinhart for the incoming damage meta where barrier break will be highly effective

I agree with the regen rate and the knockback passive but the rest is unneeded.

Orisa

Halt:

• Range of effectiveness increased from 7.5m to 9m
• Cooldown reduced from 8 to 6 seconds

Barrier

• shields health increased from 900 to 1000

This changes help orisa be able to hold herself longer against the upcoming damage changes

Halt is a really strong ability as it is now. No need to change it.
The shield… No. You need to be able to break it at some point.

D.VA

Defense matrix:

• Recharge speed increased by 25%
• Max uptime increased from 2 to 3 seconds

This helps dva be able to sustain herself more against heroes like hanzo

Not needed. DM should be skillfull.

Winston

Barrier:

• Hp increased from 600 to 800

This helps winston be able to sustain herself more against heroes like hanzo

Knowing that winston’s barrier is a repositionning tool, i would disagree.

Roadhog

Primary fire

• Clip size increased from 5 to 6

Hook

• Cooldown reduced from 8 to 6

Heck no.

Bastion

Configuration sentry;

• Spread reduced by 20%
• Headshots enabled with a reduced multiplier from x2.0 to x1.5

Ironclad passive:

• Increased to 35% damage reduced during tank configuration

New ability , Barrier

• Pressing E yields bastion a 250 shields barrier, he cannot shoot nor heal as this is active, it only covers him

Headshots one sentry, i like. The spread… would still be too big.
IC would just encourage pocketing his ult. 150 armor would be best.
The barrier… No. Having something that prevents you from firing back is a BAD idea!

Reaper

Shadow Step

• Reaper takes 50% reduced damage while casting shadow step

This helps reaper be able to use shadow step as an escape tool more reliably or to engage without feeling like setting up for suicide

Death blossom

• Can now be canceled

Cancelling an ult… Dunno.
Reduced damage while TPing is a bad idea. He could TP up to you and you could do nothing about it.

Pharah (pc only changes)

Health:

• Hp reduced from 200 to 100
• Shields increased from 0 to 100

This helps pharah be able to sustain herself better without making pharahmercy interaction more powerful

Barrage:

• Can now be cancelled

Cancelling ults in general is a bad idea, IMHO.
The shield part would make her very hard to deal with in lower tiers. Just had 50 armor if she really is that squishy (even though she’s really not.)

Mccree

Flashbang

• Cooldown reduced from 10 to 8

Roll

• Mccree is invulnerable while rolling

This helps to bring mccrees CC more in line with brigittes, and give him a ability to.be able to keep himself alive without giving him more mobility

… No. Both of these are BAD ideas! BAD!
Invulnerability is way to easy to abuse. D.Va bomb ? Nope. Any danger ? Nope.
The flash CD is fine as is. You can stun multiple peoples with it while staying rather safe (as brigite puts herself at risk to stun you).

Junkrat

Primary fire:

• Projectile size reverted back to 0.3

Meh. It’s fine as is, i think.

Torbjorn

Primary fire

• Projectile speed increased by 10%

Secondary fire

• Spread reduced by 20%

Turret

• Hp reduced from 150 to 75( LVL 1) 300 to 150 (LVL 2)

• Shields increased from 0 to 75 (LVL 1) 0 to 150 LVL 2

• Turret now priorizes the target firing at it when no focus is placed on anyone

New ability - Focus (Hammer alt fire)

• Works exactly like discord orb, but inestesd of increasing dmg taken, it makes the turret fire at that specific target

Miscelaneous

• critbox reduced

Agree with primary fire, critbox and Focus (although there’s an ability that needs to go then, since you need da buttun)
Disagree with everything else.

Genji:

Deflect

• deflect now blocks brigittes shield bash

This change gives genji a bit of counterplay vs brigitte

No. Counter intuitive.

Sombra

Primary fire:

• Ammo increased from 60 to 80

Sombras ammo is just enough to get a kill if all shots land, this gives her a little bit more ease to killing her targets with less accuracy

Hack

• Damage threshold to be cancelled increased from 0 to 15

Translocator

• Hp increased to 30

Stealth

• Damaging sombra below her threshold reveals her temporarily, she will cloak back after not taking damage for 1.5s, stealth isnt canceled by damage

Miscelaneous

• Bug fixes

This makes sombras kit more consistent overall

Heck no.

Ana

Primary fire:

• Healing now pierces through teammates, Healing multiple teammates in a row

Sleep dart

• Hitbox increaded slightly

I’d make her shots do more dmg/ heal more if fired from a distance, tbh. She doesn’t need much more than that.

Mercy

Primary(Staff)

• Healing increased from 50 to 60

New ability: Fake soul(Bound to R on staff)

• Mercy places a soul on her current location regardless of where she is which she can GA to after

• Cooldown of 10s active time of 15s

Resurrect

• Is now an ultimate, mass rez again (read before whining please)

• cast time of 1.5 seconds

• Visual.warning to make sure no one.misses it

• Mercy takes 50% reduced damage while casting

• Can only rez targets with LOS

Valkyere

• Is now an E

• Cooldown of 15s, active time of 5

• Regen boost removed

• Primary beam target recieves full effect, the chained ones recieve 50% of the effect

I politely disagree with everything.

Lucio

All the ptr changes are awesome.but id like to add

Sound barrier

• Reduced shield decay rate
• Damaging shields does not.give ult charge

Former part: No.
Later part: Sure.

[BliztDreams-2743]

Well, the ranges are too short for damage dropoff to really affect much barrier breaking.

[Nandalee-2753]

You buffed a lot of chars here. Also this change:

@MagyTheMage-1534

Roll

• Mccree is invulnerable while rolling

This helps to bring mccrees CC more in line with brigittes, and give him a ability to.be able to keep himself alive without giving him more mobility

[Fussel-2747]

never seen such bad balance suggestions.
god thanks that you are NOT a dev.

[Goldenhardt-2314]

I like the way you think, but a lot of those changes are huge buffs, and there’s no nerfs. It strikes me as if you’re trying to make everyone happy, which is impossible. Buff thoses who need help, nerfs those who’re dominant, and think about the balance of the game in general not whether people are happy or not.

To me I would start with reasonable changes that are clearly needed like that passive for Reinhardt, and small changes to thoses who are struggling but can be strong like the Reaper E ability buff. Start small and steadily, then see if the changes have helped the heroes who got changed.

And fixing bugs is a top priority above buffs and nerfs.

[SasakiKojiro-1452]

I think most of these are awful and would require extensive play-testing and tuning.

Just my opinion, though. Entirely possible I’m wrong, but we’ve no proof either way.

Edit: After reading through more extensively instead of skimming like a jerk, I agree with your proposed changes on Sombra, Lucio, Ana, D.va

Everyone else no.

[HayateGekko-11771]

100% just sounds like you wnat to nerf the heroes you dislike and buff the heroes you like.

Alot of these suck either don’t make sense or will make the character to OP and no point in playing anything else. so glad you are not balancing games.

[hatewheel-1555]

Shields, barriers, and damage screens need nerfs if anything, not buffs. Game has bogged down way too much, they let Widowmaker sitting eight miles in the backline kill without risk because no one can dive past the wall of floor damage anymore.

[HongKongNo1-3302]

No no no and no
For example I am sorry mercy players feel they need 60 hps but that heal actually ignores primal rage. And that isnt even a skill on CD.

[Maka-21687]

Ana

Primary fire:

• Healing now pierces through teammates, Healing multiple teammates in a row

I like this idea so much

[NObackfill-1162]

I would happily take you as a dev of this game.

I disagree with the Genji-Brigg thing, and i would not nerf Brigg(Or let the nerf to her bash going on), but whatever, every other problem was masterfully adressed by you.

Congratulations, man.

[ĊĿŶ-2695]

Please dont balance the game. I’ll have nightmares only from reading this.

[MagyTheMage-1534]

100% just sounds like you wnat to nerf the heroes you dislike and buff the heroes you like.

You do realize i didnt nerf any hero right…

[HayateGekko-11771]

You do realize i didnt nerf any hero right…

My point. you only buffed everyone. Buffing everyone you play. does not make the game balanced i go onto your profile and its all the heroes you play. thats not balancing and thats why blizzard doesn’t 100% listen to fans cus if they did heroes would 1 shot everything healers would have no weapons and would just stand there. widow/torb/sombra and so on would be deleted from the game and so on.

[SoLIDSnAKE-12727]

Giving a balance-changes to a single char need a lot of gameplay on the character and on the counters. Is nearly imposible balance a char without a deeply knowedge.

[Nomsie-1960]

so many shields…this would be horrible
