Hi All,
Am I the only one that feels that Orisa needs a few Buffs in particular she is a 4 legged robot but how on earth is literally every character faster than her.
I think she needs to have her movement speed increased
there are other buffs that I think she needs as well but am not greedy so ideally speed would be a good start
what do you guys think?
Idk I feel like in the current meta Orisa is a pretty strong hero. In GM she has already replaced Rein as the most picked main tank.
you are right in the current meta she is used alot, however as a tank I just feel she should be in front of the squad, however her speed in particular running from Spawn to objective is way slow vs every other character
All running speeds in the game are the same bar genji and tracer who are slightly faster base wise, lucio who has speed
I feel like she should be more defensive. Being slow is one of her weakeness, but she’s supposed to be the fortress tank. Her shield is incredibly easy to burn through as a team and after that there’s nothing she can really do. The amount of damage she can actually take plateaus fairly quickly. 900hp 8 second cooldown is not a lot at all
Orisa not only doesn’t need buffs, but I honestly could see her requiring a nerf down the line.
I’ve always liked the idea of a passive ability that increases your movement speed to a gallop after not using abilities for a short time.
Also mayb make her fortify a resource, like Bastion’s repairs or D.va’s DM
Beat me to it.
One thing ill always suggest is a slowing effect for people who walk through her shield and a slight damage.
It discourages people pushing straight over her, while not making her invulnerable from it.
fair comment just wish with her 4 legs she was a bit faster than what she currently is at the moment
Are you serious? i’m really tired of being yelled at, and even gave up on this game, due to the high toxicity of players against Orisa mains(me included)
It’s always the same thing:
“Pick rein”
“Orisa is bad”
“Orisa is low”
“It doesn’t pair up with Zarya”
“Her duo(hog) is bad”
If overwatch want players to stay playing this game they should invest in new tanks and supports, along with balancing better DPS’s, since they are trash meta now.
Yes. Just since her last buff she has been very good. Maybe too good. Maybe not.
fully agree with you her shield is way to easy to burn through vs a shield like Rein,
I do like the idea of a slowing effect if you walk through it
Eventually, I could see it possibly happening. Personally, I would rather her just stay unchanged for now. Give her the Rein treatment.
Live by the meta, die by the meta lol.
I’m kind of want a console specific nerf now. :3 But, I can wait to see if the tides turn just like it was a good idea to wait with Rein.
Edit
Her comp also absurdly overpowers Mercy, who was already pushing it because of Ana’s aim issues due to the controller and Moira’s lack of range. Mercy’s synergy with them is obscene. And they want to buff damage boost? Please no. Lol.
I’m fairly sure it works out to her blocking more than Rein on average, actually. While the max damage her shield can take is less than Rein’s, there’s very little that does over 900 damage all at once (namely, a few ults). While it is susceptible to burst damage from things like junk nade / mines, her shield is technically “recharging” the moment you use it assuming you drop it on CD. Rein’s shield doesn’t start charging until after you lower the shield for two seconds.
So 900 vs 2K. At an 8 second CD in order to put up a fresh barrier of 900, your shield is approximately “charging” 112.5 health a second over eight seconds.
Rein’s shield doesn’t have this benefit and must be dropped to charge it, and only starts charging after 2 seconds of no barrier. Once it starts charging, it starts at a rate of 200HP a second. So if a Rein barrier wereto drop all the way down to 0, it takes 12 seconds to have a fresh 2K barrier.
Orisa’s barrier might have lower HP, but simply due to how it functions it blocks more and charges more reliably.
That said, Orisa barrier has to be placed down which is easier to mess up, and it is easier for enemies to take advantage of. It is also immobile compared to Rein.
Orisa is probably one of the most underrated characters in the game to be honest. Her movement speed increase from -50% to -30% while firing and the introduction of Baptiste have really helped her along.
I don’t play console, so I can’t really say what she’s like there. I know on PC, at least until GM, Rein is by far the more popular pick. I think the perceptions about Orisa will take time to change, but also Rein is just easier to play with.
Orisa overtakes Rein starting at Masters on console. But Rein’s gap is shrinking week after week lower than that.
Also
Also I saw something crazy for the first time. Screencapped it and everything. While this was for a pretty brief period, at one point in GM PSN Orisa had both the highest win and pickrate. It was the craziest thing ever.

Mercy has always been the best healer plat and up. But she’s honestly ridiculously hard to kill and she can keep Orisa up for ages when she’s played with her. She was already number one healer on console because of issues with the other two main healers (which is why people don’t complain here a lot) but with Orisa, it almost feels like throwing not to pick her.
This is only spoken of in myths. Legends, even! This is unfathomable!
Yeah. It was for too brief a period to mean much, especially with such a small sample size. But it tripped me out. I had never seen nothing like that before. It was like seeing a mythical creature. I feel if that happened on PC, people would be coming for her head haha.
Pretty much how I feel any time I see someone with level 5 endorsements. I go through an endless cycle of level 3 to 4 back to 3. I get weirdly excited about it now, just like I get weirdly excited about receiving duplicates in my lootboxes.
Maybe excitement is the wrong word. I do find it sort of funny though.
Somehow, I wouldn’t be surprised. We still get threads daily hating on poor Bastion, and I haven’t the slightest clue how to fix that poor bot
