Note: I’m talking about the patch after the current PTR patch
Widowmaker: Grapple hook CD increased to 10 seconds.
Hanzo: Lunge increased to 5 or 6 seconds
(The newest changes for the snipers are a step in the right direction but they won’t be enough. Hopefully these small changes will make it so you can actually kill a sniper without running another sniper.)
Symmetra: (Honestly IDK what they would change, but I’m pretty sure they would change her since she is pretty trash rn)
Lastly I’d probably put a sombra or Mei change, but again I don’t really know what they would change.
(And after that patch we would probably get the ‘BJORN rework)
IMO Hanzo’s lunge should have the same CD as widowmaker’s grapple.
It should not be used, risk free, to make plays with storm arrow, but primarily as an escape.
He already has a huge mobility as is.
Has ANYONE even thought about grandma?
I mean, she does NOTHING AT ALL. Marcy and Moira can heal better, Brigitte and Zen have more utlility, the only other healer as bad as her is Lucio.
I was thinking maybe, since increasing healing would only encourage sniper meta, so maybe allow her sleep dart to work like Hammond’s grapple. Hold shift to equip, and left click to fire. Also, pleas ejust make it hitscan already. Maybe increase her magazine to 20 because shes the only healer who needs to reload. Or speed up reload time. Decrease the INSANE cooldowns on her abilities, like make sleep 9 seconds and make nade 8 seconds. Nano boost restores target to full Hit points. Armor and shield are not affected by the nano heal.
Tracer is dead if she is crowd controlled or if any significant burst damage hits her.
Moira actually demands that you burst her. If she deal sustained damage to her, she will fade away or Regen through it. Best way to kill her is to CC her and/or burst her.
Mercy is so mobile and regens so efficiently that the main reliable way to kill her (just like anybody else) is to CC or burst her.
In fact, I can go down the list of heroes you mentioned and pretty much say the same thing for all of them.
Even Zarya, Hog, and D.Va are more easily killed if CC’d and bursted down. Why would they be any less susceptible to it? They certainly don’t “counter it”. MAYBE you could argue that Zarya can bubble allies when they’re hooked, but she herself getting crowd controlled makes her an easier kill than if she is not crowd controlled. And burst damage will always be better than slow but sustained damage.
Stating those two things as a heroes “weakness” is a little bit of a cop-out. Every hero in the game dies to those things.
