My prediction for the next balance patch

more sigma and orisa nerfs that make their kits even more clunky and dependent on each other while simultaneously making them even harder to main tank with :heart_eyes:
an unneeded moira nerf bc people have no idea how to play against her :heart_eyes::heart_eyes:
and no reaper, doom, or mei nerfs :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:
also another symmetra nerf for good measure :sneezing_face:

lmaoooooooo ok boomer

My prediction is we are getting another air/flight based hero really soon, so I assume it’s Echo.
This is based off the past history of blizzard doing what seemed like out of left field patches that only make sense when you see the abilities of a newer hero.

Tracer and Baptiste, both hitscan, got range increases. Then Winston got a rather β€œhuh?” patch of a stronger bubble, when already in a shield based meta. Yet the cinematic at Blizzcon had Echo flying around throwing what looks like sticky bombs down at targets.
What does Winston shield offer? Full shield coverage from all angles.

we also know the next PTR patch has the new queue system that lets players pick other game modes as they wait. Ya know, something really needed if say ohhhh maybe a new DPS hero was added to the game.

/tinfoil hat on!/

Haha, wouldnt suprise me honestly

Blizzard solves metas by sledgehammering the current meta heroes, then they need to re buff them bc they went overboard and never end up adressing other heroes because they postpone it to solve the metagame

NOOOOOOOOO

Oh you know it’s true… How do you kill double shield with heavy short range DPS heroes? Ya drop a busted OP flying hero and we go full Techno Butterfly Meta for a few months!

Pharah and Echo both up in the air with Mercy GA’ing flying back and forth between them. Suddenly Moira isn’t as effect in heals or DMG. Zen has a place with both Orbs. Ana and Bap are needed due to hitscan options
Doom, Reaper both drop out of meta as they have no targets or ways to fight air based heroes. Shields are bypassed with high air angles. All the hitscan heroes are now needed again. D.va is played for DM of rockets etc + flight attack. Winston to 180shield +jump on all the ground targets shooting his own team x3 up in the air.

We get the game’s entire apple cart meta wise flipped over almost over night. Everything changes

Game’s going airborne for DPS… Calling it right now, with my tinfoil hat powers

You forgot a random buff to someone that the devs will think will make the hero more viable but does not because it does not address their problem.

Like soldier gets a buff to his heal which will make him have more survivability to continue to shoot into more shields lul.
