Yeah… no lets not go that route… ball already is imo the most counterable hero in the entire game.
One hero swap to sombra came make him borderline unplayable either by perma hacking him or hacking all the hp packs.
And thats just 1 hero.
Hog, orisa, junkerqueens knife, doomfist punch all have easy to land cc to stop him from engaging or disengaing. Every single one of orisa’s cooldowns stops a wrecking ball…
The there is mei wall, the leftclick slow, literally cassidy hinder effect follows him for a bit and hack.
It feels like the trap sucks you into it from literally narnia.
I know right? You try to dodge it by an inch then it shifts you center on top of it and that’s when I yell “HOW IS THAT FAIR?!” THE HITBOX IS SO MASSIVE. Like the bottom of Ball’s visual hitbox doesn’t need to touch the trap. The trap just needs to smell you and you get snared. Its so dumb.
These threads are a really bigbrain way to ask for Hog buffs.
Ball/Doom are just too easily countered right now. Half the support roster counters them both.
Big balls, is it always problematic?
Mei, Junk, Torb, McCree, Pharah, Bastion…?
Ball is the only tank that can be played against the current quadruple-sniper meta…
Ball in it’s round form reminds me of boss fight from Atomic Heart.
This must be a troll post.
With the buffs coming to Doom, Ball might very well be the worst tank in the game right now. A single DPS or even Support swap can end his gameplay
No!!! Hand off my cutie hamster!!! Ball have to trade with the risk of the rest of team that have no tank to cover them. One slight mistake could make the whole team fall. He don’t need nerf!!!
When he’s shooting he has a massive critbox
Almost like he’s a 1v5 hero that is vastly outshined by all others in straight up 1v1s. He also has to play with a team that’s playing around him, so swapping to full on Brawl+Sombra is a hard counter.
Ball isn’t even the best Tank. He’s fine.
i have a pretty good feeling that the person who made this post is fairly low rank because the only time i can think of that ball might seem over powered is low rank and that is because i can just slam right in the center of your team and no one will shoot 1 bullet at me for like a full 20 seconds, everyone just expects everyone else to kill him because no one can be bothered to shoot a giant but slightly faster target.
As soon as you get above like silver 4 ball becomes much, much harder to play with each rank above silver 4
bastion can mess up ball, sombre can really mess up ball, cassidy can mess up ball, reapers not a bad pick against ball, mei isnt a bad pick either and anyone with a boop is also good against ball, if u had a team that had lucio, brig, ash and orsia it probably wouldn’t help kill ball all that much but getting booped away every time he swings in will mess his brain and throw him off at every turn
Legit he like never dies. I hate adaptive shields so much. Rushes in, adaptive shields, kills someone and leaves before you even expose his main health.
