OWC will be MOTH META!

Current OW just has the same 3 heroes of each role be viable at all times.

As soon as anyone other than the 3 of each role see any kind play, they get butchered.

so if im reading correctly it will be the time where mercy first got moth powers. so launch doom, ana and sombra

cant wait to try sombra out. never really played her at all in her launch version state. i am sure a lot of people want to enjoy dps doom again.

that video with mercy is terrifying and its not even about violence and eliminations lol

err ill link it for the forum post:

Yep!

Tho I think Ana was kinda meh as she had been nerfed around that time I think.

I think her heal and dmg was at 60 per bullet and was buffed sometime during Moth Meta if I remember correctly.

IKR HAHAHAH.

Thx btw!

Yeah… ofc I do!

Same for the support roster.
Ana Kiriko + any support that’s not Mercy, Lifeweaver or Zen!

well im not really excited about launch ana. i mean she hasnt changed at all really… just timers on her abilities or adjustments

i will be curious on her cooldowns compared to live tho. also i am sure her grenade did more damage? also i do know she launched with medicore damage and they had to buff it? also she had a more healing burst since more healing per shot… not sure at all lol?

she had 80 dmg shots back then two shot tracer.

Brig was released before it ended. I remember because it wasn’t until they finally nerfed her out of the meta that GOATs took over. People think that happened instantly but it was not the case.

oh so she had more damage than current? i thought they had to buff her damage

i guess its been a while… dam that would be nice :wink:

Not during Moth Meta tho.
That was launch Ana.

She was buffed from 60 to 70 per bullet to compete with Moth Mercy back then.

Yeah, the nerf that finally put her completely out of the meta was rhe nerfs on damage boost and the healing nerf from 60 to 50 hp/s

I’ll probably play more of it but I got sick of body shot Widow and that was every damn game after hero limits were put back in.

she had more dmg on launch but less ammo only 10, but you could quickscope back then

woa never knew that. that sounds fun

Wasn’t Moth Meta around for a very long time? I’m not 100% sure cause I wasn’t playing Overwatch at that time.

But if it was…why on earth did it take them so long to sort it?

Mercy near 100% pickrate.

Ressurection → Now an ability on 30s
→ is reset on Valkyrie’s Activation
→ 10s cd during Valkyrie (Ultimate)

Valkyrie → New ultimate

Moth meta note : The meta at the time consisted in implementing what high ranks did, tempo ressurections. People went for 1 or 2 rezzes rather than 4 or 5. So the changes made it so Mercy not only lost her “ultimate”, but the new ressurection ended up being mostly better for the ones who didn’t go for team ressurections. Essentially, you were able to ressurect like 4 or 5 times in a span of 1 Valkyrie.

It is basically every meta. Also Juno is only busted in higher tiers, it’s nothing like moth meta where Mercy was the absolute best character in every single rank and mode.

I have no idea.

My guess it that since every set of nerfs war very harsh, people might have originally believed she was finally balanced, only to find out she was still ultra busted.

I remember a PTR update early into the Moth Meta where they removed all multi rezzes and instead gave rez 10m range in Valk only and it was canceled because people thought it would make her trash.

People really thought just having one instant rez every 30s was too weak until they finally learned the problem was less the multi rezzes but more so the instant cast time.

yup…

one of the few times in game where there was a literal must pick hero…if you didnt have a mercy you were simply playing the game wrong…and if your focus was not on that mercy your team was probably on losing end…
