Overwatch is perhaps the only game where player feedback has been bad for the game.

Lol. Sorry theres a couple out there. League had been notorious for it several years back. Currenrly Battlefront 2 is hurting because of it and Destiny 2. Both D2 and BF2 are hurting bad and are about to abandon ship while the money’s still high.

I said mercy wasnt broken after the nerfs lots of times, and people were nah uh mercy is dead , Mercy still the best healer in the game, but you need working comps mercy cant heal everyone at the same time she does need help, so you get 3 support heroes on that list, and basically no dps, why? because there are more options dpsing than healers. Soldier is the most marketable hero, then why he is so low on the list or sombra or reaper. People just dont pick them.

They are incompetent. Just look how “often” they are giving us bug fixes or balance hotfixes… like never. DF has to wait one year to get buffed whats they broke. OW may be way more balanced but Blizz cant do that… or wont do that, coz they dont care that much. There are TONS of ideas how to fix biggest issues or balance things.

Have you played WoW? Or Heroes of the Storm? I have, for many years (15 in the case of WoW since I was in its Beta).

The answer is yes. Never, ever play a Blizzard game expecting balance. They’ve never had a clue how to do it. This has never been a secret between gamers.

played wow since before MC was a raid…at no point ever did wow ever get balanced…and its actually not a bad comparison…they have what…25 or so different “classes/specs” now…there was always a few that sucked…some that were “OP”…thats just how balance is…its never perfect…

not sure why people are expecting that here

The fact that this is probably the largest gap between meta and offmeta heroes of all the metas. Outside of all the meta heroes the next best is Widow in GM at 4.1% while nearly all the others above are 9.5% or more.

Because its so much simplier than having off classes for a single player pick…

Theres no talent tree. No extra consumables like pots or buff systems.

It was a PVE game mostly! That is too many variables and players are sure to abuse what they could get at.

Meanwhile in a simple shooter game with minor buffing CC the same maps and the same exact heros. We’re meant to sit here and take it?

Lets not forget certain individuals were let go from the WOW team for a reason.

You have 3 healers on the list, because healers are ridiculously strong.
(Also this is GM pick rates for sure, though Hanzo is actually 4th now… People rarely divert from the meta at that elo.)
Hanzo got kind of overbuffed, not to mention that he is the perfect candidate for a team comp that almost entirely relies on wombo combos to kill anyone, while outside of that you need high burst damage, as everything else gets healed up, or halved by armor.

Oh, I agree with you. But you asked if someone thought Blizzard was that incompetent. I answered that when it came to balance: yes, I do think they are.

Seems like you’ve played Blizzard games at least as long as I have (24 years, starting with Warcraft: Orcs and Humans) and they had balance issues even way back in their RTS games.

Blizzard and balance should never be used in the same sentence. One should always play Blizzard games understanding that.

I think we’re agreeing on this. :rofl:

I feel for Reaper and Soldier 76 and others on that image. I was a Hunter through most of Legion. All three of our specs are only DPS. We were consistently the absolute bottom of the DPS charts.

Please tell me you’re a Survival Huntard and have experienced and conquered the ridiculousliness of what balance means to Blizzard?

Half of those heroes don’t even require any aim.
