I never normally play orisa. In fact, outside of MH I don’t think I have ever gone orisa - maybe once at the start to try her.
Anyway, tonight the other team went orisa and had really good supports so I decided, what the heck, and went orisa. I think I lost about 1/3 of my brain mass during that game, and maybe 1/2 my hearing.
IT WAS THE MOST BORING THING I HAVE EVER DONE IN A COMPUTER GAME IN 40 YEARS OF PLAYING!!!
We even won even though I never played her before.
My last game before typing this was rialto and they went orisa and had good supports again so she was unkillable so I went orisa again.
I LOST ANOTHER 1/3 OF MY BRAIN!!
Orisa gameplay is so mind-numbing it’s ridiculous. Who could ever have designed such a stupid hero that is unkillable with the right supports, and where the game has choke-points that are very hard to get around to kill the said supports.
For example, we spend 3:30 under the overpass at 3rd point Rialto. Supports hung out in the back and they even switched pharah but I could take on pharah with orisa and her unlimited range so our supports were safely tucked away, and their supports hid round the corner. So the other orisa and I just traded punches for 3:30. She died a few times, I didn’t die at all. But each fight was sooooo tedious and the cart never moved.
Please blizz don’t make any more heroes like orisa that don’t die with support, and melt without them. It is zero fun to play.
Hog was easy to counter if your team played along - just go ana+zen and add orisa and bastion or soldier and hog would get no value. There was also kiri and even lw pulling his hooks. So many counters to hog in this game it’s a joke. He may have lived too long but getting value with him was way harder than orisa.
You’re funny! Wait…you’re not joking? Do team mates actually work with you in your games? Because mine are either not in chat and complain about everything after the fact, or if they are in voice chat, all they do is chat with people in the background and ignore their team chatter or just whine and moan about everything.
And god help you if you try to give them actual comms that aren’t just boosting their egos.
Would rather play 8 seasons of mauga v mauga than another season of orisa v orisa. Mauga uses his cardiac, go away for 5 seconds, come back and feast on him
Orisa just has to cycle her three cooldowns, which all technically do different things but functionally achieve the same purpose of saying “nuh uh” to whatever button you just pressed. Most boring gameplay of all time, like the tank version of mindless dps sitting back and shooting hitscan spam down a hallway (no need to aim anymore)
IMO the issue with Orisa is the armor that she has that stacks with the damage mitigation from Fortif., Those two damage mitigations PLUS the healing from supports is what makes her unkillable.
