Next Patch Predictions?

The meathead will get nerfed, hog will get buffed, on mid season the horse will get a revert or microbuff and the cycle will continue as it has done for every ow2 season minus S1 and S9.

Pessimistic but not unrealistic :grimacing:

Realistically?

Juno nerfed because players keep crying about this hero.

What I’m hoping for?

Sombra and Hog’s rework reverted to OW1 last update.

S9 HP / Projectile size changes reverted, deleted, and never brought back up again.

some hypotheses:

  • For mauga a nerf, probably they will change the timing of the flame. but nothing excessive.
  • I think that for sombra they will further decrease the time range in becoming visible, the rhythm is still a bit too strange.
  • I don’t know if it’s finally time to see a quality of life change for reaper’s step shadow, it seems to me that they have now changed their minds in giving him the rework they had announced. but hypothetically we could also see something for Symmetra’s TP, whose technology is not that different from step shadow. I mean, if they tried something for reaper, I imagine they could have noticed something useful for her too. but it’s just a very imaginative hypothesis.
  • I predict more nerfs on the wall for Mei and more buffs in the freezing spray. with the arrival of Hazard there could be bad conflicts in the team about blocking teammates;
  • maybe they will make yet another move of cassidy’s values. you know, the usual small numbers that keep reverting him into nerfs or buffs. although frankly they should start observing if his problem is the excessive uselessness of right clicking;
  • it wouldn’t be bad to give wrecking ball a small quality of life change. honestly the way he spreads the barrier to his teammates is really too optional and not very intuitive.
  • for the sniping problem, in my opinion they should act on the UI. it would be enough to simply put the “detected” signal to everyone instead of just to sombra from invisible, it would already be a big tactical nerf for widow and hanzo.
  • a personal fantasy: give the same wallclibing as hazard to winston. In my opinion winston has really few resources or has an excessively simple kit compared to the other tanks;
  • I have the feeling that they will change zenyatta’s values, somehow.

Why would they nerf Mauga? He’s good in OWCS and that’s above to it.

I think so too, but in organized groups it can give a lot. and… they will probably nerf it to help the new tank to be brilliant, since the flame counters Hazard very well. :sweat_smile:

Yeah Mauga did make life difficult on Hazard. That is a possibility.
