OW2 looking awful so far

Soujurn is a lazy combination of baptiste, soldier, and widow.

Orisa got literally deleted

doom got gutted to a combination of zarya and hammond in the worst ways, and to my surprise they managed to make meteor strike worse

lazy development, taking the easiest solution, and kowtowing to complaining rather than fixing the issues.

OW2 is gonna be the death of Overwatch as a franchise at this rate.

IMO they are fixing OW1’s issue. OW2 looks promising TBH.

OW1 is dead with the way the game plays right now.
If Blizzard didn’t make changes for OW2 and just kept it similar to OW1, OW2 would be dead on arrival as well.

A very nuanced take, I can’t wait to see your next post on the subject

You can make anything sound garbage or OP on paper

Wait until you can try it yourself before jumping the rails

OW1 is literally dead. You find more competitive games in quickplay than ranked.

No, its not lack of content that killed it. Lots of games have terrible content schedules and are still more alive than OW1.

Literally this has been said for every single hero that has been released thus far.

I don’t think that Orisa was deleted, she is a much closer in fighter now, but she isn’t gone.

Doom doesn’t look bad at all.

Sombra didn’t have that said about her, nor Ball.

yes because needing to land a punch and knock them into the wall to do less damage than a single rien swing that takes half the time, is going to be good.

because a winston leap with less protection is going to be what you choose over winston

because youre going to use doom for his shield to speed up his pathetic damage over zarya who can do the same thing from every direction on herself and others.

because youre going to choose Doom for disruption over hammond.

Doom is landing between Hammond and Zarya.

More disruption than Zarya, more damage than Hammond.

You are like “OH NOES it isn’t doing damage over this REALLY damaging thing, and isn’t as disruptive over this REALLY disruptive thing…”

Like, seriously, hybrids shouldn’t be stronger at what a specialist does, in the specialists thing.

As long as he is good enough at the things he does, he will be fine.

He can soak 4500 damage from the front, and will power up his fist well before he soaks that much. He will be able to give space for a rotate for sure.

just lol

this is an objectively good thing

doom got gutted to a combination of zarya and hammond in the worst ways, and to my surprise they managed to make meteor strike worse

Mechanics are going to overlap eventually, and calling “he absorbs damage and slams things” copying Zarya and Ball is quite a reach and ignores a lot of all 3 heroes.

lazy development, taking the easiest solution, and kowtowing to complaining rather than fixing the issues.

lazy is when you completely rework a character’s kit from the ground up instead of tweaking numbers because their kit is inherently flawed design-wise.

how about a rebuttal instead of vague nonsense? put your LOL into words.

yes losing a character in exchange for a kit that could have been another character is great! less diversity! lets go!

to quote you:

they didnt have to yet. lazy development to please whiners.

yess because removing dooms uppercut, and giving him riens shield, and winstons leap was just so hard to do.

I mean, while I think that Valis is being over the top around the rest, they are not wrong about this part.

Sojourn isn’t exactly far from the current main like DPS in design.

Hammond is a lazy short cut character because he has Tracers guns and winstons slam and drops bombs like junkrat

you can make any character sound lazy and basic when you simplify them this much.

hammond isnt anything you just described, so you obviously cant.

You haven’t even played the game. I think it’ll be pretty good

For one Sojurn isn’t even hitscan. Her M1 is small, fast projectiles.

And last I checked none of those characters had a charge mechanic, pierce, or a slow.

Sojourn is pretty obviously designed to appeal to Apex players so we shouldn’t expect her to have goofy off the wall stuff like Hammond or Sigma.

my mans forgot that widow has to charge her shots, and that zarya gets charged from her bubbles, and that symmetra charges her weapon off shields.

Very fast projectiles. She will operate like a hitscan in all the ways which count.

Right, that is exactly where they targeted it for sure, but S76, Ashe, McCree also aim to cater for the same group.

It isn’t like we don’t have a lot of main line DPS.

To be fair, I was talking about McCree, Ashe, S76, etc… Widow though, she should count in that group.

I am just disappointed that we got another generic shooty hero. Out of everything we could have gotten there, we got this…

S76 and Cassidy appeal to COD players while Ashe is a mix of everything

How does Orisa get deleted when Efi always looks to improve anyway possible. :thinking:
