Unnecessary nerf to Lucio in Stadium to make the few remaining builds useless.

The rich get richer, the poor become poorer.

I for one see Symmetra nerfs coming because she has been seen in the pro scene.
Then also buffs for already strong heroes to entrench the meta they want even more.
Some absolutely incoherent nerfs for mid heroes.
Then even more incoherent perk changes, including the nastiest stuff for Ana and Kiriko.

They’re going to buff an “underperforming” hitscan who is just being gatekept by a different overperforming hitscan.

Same as every other patch that’s come before it:

THIS IS THE WORST PATCH EVER!!

Man, all the balancing patches really raise the question of “On purpose or simply incompetent?” They keep that cycle going for ages, many people point out all sorts of inaccuricies in their thinking, yet they seem wholly unbothered by it. Is it on purpose, or are they just too short-sighted to see it? Surely they would notice what they are doing right now is not a sustainable solution in any way?

Brig whip shot damage buff, as it was never adjusted for the bigger health pools. Well I can dream anyway.

definitely some vendetta buffs/QoL’s. idc how many people were baby raging that she was “op” bc she was so far from it. she needed every drop of her teams support to do ANYTHING … by the end of her trial her ult was a gaurunteed death sentence for her unless she charged it around a corner.

Zarya gets nerfed and dva somehow escapes nerfs at the same moment

yeah, but they could at least make him extremely hairy and take the shirt off all his skins :frowning:

They will ignore win-rates, pick-rates and all other stats, and give some random changes that make sense, mostly to perks.

I predict at least 1 more dumb perk added to a tank that removes their deliberately designed weakness (like doom matrix, ball bubble, orisa shield do). And they won’t remove any of the current problem perks.

I suspect Ana will get a perk buff as usual, heroes that get the best skins will get buffs, and nothing will be done about heroes that are sitting at the bottom of the win-rates and have been season after season. Same goes for those that are almost locked at top-4 by win-rate.

What I’d like to see (mostly related to tanks)

  1. nerf to queen sustain
  2. nerf to rein armour or shield (just a small one)
  3. nerf to ashe fire rate
  4. nerf to freja 3-shot, but buff to something else (her win-rate isn’t good), to tone down her excessive constant damage output (which mercy breaks even further with her blue beam)
  5. since I’m a hog main: replace 2-shot minor reload perk, replace overhealth on hook major perk (I suspect nobody chooses this) with something that is in the same vein as the tank perks that reduce their hard counter CC/abilities (if they are allowing the other tanks to keep those)
  6. buff Illari with 1m extra on her heal beam but nerf range of her turret by 1m
  7. replace doom matrix perk (or increase punch CD by 1s)
  8. replace ball bubble perk
  9. replace orisa shield perk
