D.va, Zarya, Genji, Sojourn, and Kiriko are tearing up nearly every lobby. D.va plays every position you could ever need, Zarya effectively has 800+ HP and farms endless amounts of damage, Genji has a better tanking ability than Junker Queen (and has a nearly unstoppable ultimate), Sojourn is the best of all worlds when it comes to damage and pickoffs, and Kiriko can swing teamfights with minimal effort thanks to Suzu and Kitsune Rush. This patch is already extremely stale and the balancing that’s coming hardly addresses what makes these heroes strong outliers. It’s starting to feel like Overwatch 1 again, being harder and harder to bring myself to launch the game.
Wish I was worse at the game so I wouldn’t have to deal with everyone else who’s optimized these heroes.
it’s also possible it’s losing players due to predatory monetization + rigged comp experience.
i wish i could complain about balance but with server issues and queues i haven’t had enough interactions to really comment on balance. who is even worrying about balance when the game barely launches?
The strat to play with Rein hasn’t changed. It’s always been walk behind the glowing rectangle, invest all of your resources into the big German Armor man and watch as he beats people to a pulp.
Other tanks actually require thought to play with.
i mean even if they nerf the mentioned heroes there will be another meta. game will always have a meta and its a pipe dream to believe they can balance everything
