These patch notes completely and utterly destroy Orisa. Least health of all tanks, armour was sort of a saving grace, but now she’s literally 100% useless. So glad I spend 60 hours and 3000 cp on her golden gun.

To release this and not give Orisa a buff to compensate? I don’t think they are aware of this character at all.

Just bought D.Va’s golden gun. Shoulda been Ana lol

Hanzo seems to be a loner anyway, so his relationship status is going to be kept a mystery for a while, I think.

I’m here bracing for Gabriel to be straight, since he “managed to have a family”.

And yes, I know bi people exist, but what are the chances…

They are aware, but they’re catering to the toxic DPS players that have been whining about healing and armour for the past few months.

Edit: And

tanks have a health pool that is too high

/facepalm

It is clear that this patch wasn’t thought through. And I hope it’s reverted or compensated for all tanks that is directly affects.

Yeah, it seems once again that Orisa has become collateral damage in the effort to engineer the meta via balance.

DMs cooldown is as long as its max uptime… I’m sorry what.
I have gold orisa guns too! I hope she gets more buffs

Pretty sure Gabe is straight but ya never know fam. I am leaning more towards “straight” since that family looks just like him (same ethnicity etc.) and Chu said that family isn’t “random” Sure he could be bi though.

We’ve entered an age where every hero is “probably straight” since how likely is it to have more than two queer ones in a game like OW

exactly my worries on the subject.

:sob: As someone that relates to him, this is me when I read this:

I mean, it’s possible we will get more lgbt heroes, but a double release at one time would be too much at one time I feel. The focus is Solider so I am guessing Gabe is straight as the “straight reveal” to balance the gay one, but everyone is hating on the gay one and not realizing a potential straight one revealed.

Idk if its a bug or me imagining things, but messing around on ptr brig in practice range and it feels like her whipshot retracts much quicker which isnt huge at all but i guess its something.
As for that armor nerf… rip tanks lol

Tbh, I’ve always thought they could really do something with her whip shot. It’s her only skillful ability that isn’t purely based on enemy positioning/standoff for the stun.

So any bug that makes it better/more fluid to use (because let’s be honest here, it clunky as heck) is a positive in my book.

despite it being a small change it’s more satisfying to use, especially close range where it flicks back lol

I feel ya! I’m kind of a loner too but I crave for connection with another person.
