I guess Blizzard wasn’t satisfied with shooting themselves in the foot and are aiming for the head now.
What the actual fresh hell is this?! 2CP is going to be impossible for attackers now. Alot of the time attackers win purely because of ult management. This hero can block a Dva Nuke EVERY 20 SECONDS! Who in their wrong mind thought this was a good idea? The WHOLE FLAIR of Overwatch is using your ultimates to swing the fights but lets get rid of that now and what are we left with? A moderately balanced hero pool that is just pretty much rock, paper, scissors x10.
Ashe was a great hero. Not overpowered, pretty balanced overall. I had hope Blizzard finally understood how to add new heroes to overwatch again that arnt all hype like a hamster in a robot. Then they spawn pretty much the Apocalypse for overwatch with this hero.
Massive healing.
AOE Buff (THAT MAKES PEOPLE UNKILLABLE!!)
And an Ultimate that just DELETES anything being shot at. (unless the enemy is using a baptiste too)
These are all things we dont need nor do we want. Yes we needs more supports but not a new replacement for mercy-moth-meta as a “must pick” for supports because being able to thwart ultimates every 20 seconds is a heck of alot better then using an ult to counter an ult once every 2-5 minutes.
I havnt even touched him yet and I can already see how cancerous this is.
The dual function weapon is great, heal grenades cool. That drone NOPE! His ultimate need to be cut down by at least half , maybe even two-thirds.
I dont know i said my piece I hope this hero doesnt go live anytime soon. I’m pretty sure he’ll be the reason myself and many others say no more overwatch cause this does not look like it would be fun at all to fight and frustrating having your ultimate you spend most of your game trying to build be useless over and over and over again.
Oh hey…another person who quotes/provides a video of pros reacting to a hero as though their opinions are sacrosanct and aren’t subject to the same biases and salt as the rest of us.
Just destroy the drone it’s easy, and it only has 250hp. I hope this hero doesn’t get nerfed because some players can’t shoot a stationary 250hp drone.
I dont care whos using the hero, I’m using my own eyes to see whats in the video such as stats and such. ONE SHOT on a Primal Raged Winston. That absurd no matter how you slice it that thats even going to be possible in every game. It could be a bunch of gold/plat scrubs like me but if they were doing the same test and showing the same clips my opinion wouldnt change.
That ALOT of hp for an object that spawns so frequently and is so powerful if left alone. You pretty much have to dedicate 1 or 2 people to constant drone removal. Alot of hero struggle to kill 200 hp without a critical headshot. Thats alot of wasted resources every 20 seconds and considering you need to wait for own cooldowns too you have nothing left to throw at the enemy heroes cause theyre either immortal or killing you while your killing drones.
250 HP is very little for a stationary target. 20 seconds is actually pretty infrequent for overwatch. It is the second longest cooldown in the game I believe.
Because those 200hp heroes are moving.
Hanzo deletes the thing in 1 second. Same with widow. Roadhog can literally just pull people out of it and ignore it completely. Any sort of boop will push people out of it. Plus, it causes people to all group up for splash damage to kick their [expletives] since you can still damage them while they’re in it.
i dislike drone very much actually from what i see because - just a split second after i saw it first time - i was about: no way, thats so broken. (it offers many new game mechanis though and thats actually what i would like to see as new content).
but lets face it: if baptiste wasnt that high-dmg dealing, too… but with a very clear focus on support, he would be pretty nice and well designed. right now he looks like a weirdly strong hybrid… see ya, zenyatta
No im sharing my opinions on a forum for a hero coming to the game, your just here to harass me cause you dont like my opinion without adding anything constructive. Theres a difference.
Nothing about this hero is appealing and I dont see anyway this is good for overwatch. Even brigitte couldnt make people not die, though they seemed like that was the case.
Here comes another pro platchat who actually knows everything about the character 28.5 hours after they released him.
Yes he’s op from healing standpoint.
But did you know that he can go solo heal with 3 dps 2 tanks in a bunker comp? Which in fact can make for some quick teamfights?
Now you get it. This hero doesnt improve anything. It just gonna create a whole new slew of problems. Deadeye, Riptire, nuke, meteor stirke, and many other ultimate with a long cast/impact time are gonna be laughable easy to counter.
And I agree 110% if he was just healing or just damage utility (buffs/debuffs) I’d feel alot better toward him. But just like how Brig snuck into the DPS/tank spots, I predict Bapt is gonna do the same, at least in the DPS slot. What the actual point of playing soldier anymore, he does EVERYTHING soldier does but better, except for aimbot which is probably in the top 10 worst ults list.
I mean this does against my role as doomsayer but I don’t think he will impact ladder or league play nearly as much as others seem to expect. I think he will be a decent pick - not dominant. The only situations he offers something really unique in are vs dva or nano blade. Mercy will still be the better sniper healer. Oh and he’ll be good for bastion cheese
