No u
by your logic, they want to make people just submit and take an L if they are against heavily unfavoured team composition. It is what you say.
Yes, perks are supposed to make heroes more flexible against their counters and broken cheese tanks/supports.
Yet, they don’t do that enough. And the decision that they need to reset is based on nothing.
I have already explained to you the decision to make levle reset on swap heroes is based to Blizzard want to reduce the heroes swapping and if you don’t want to lose, you kill people higher level compared to you and progress faster to higher level.
This is the solution for Blizzard and they will not change idea anytime soon.
You must be working for blizzard then if you so glad to swallow every dumb decision they make, which they already did so many times that game soon gonna enter life support mode.
and who are you to decide?
No i’m simple older and more experienced than you, i known Blizzard alot better than you, i know how they worked for over 20 years, so i known they will not change idea soon, maybe they will never change it and if they will change idea will take, if we are lucky, months.
The max you can expect in short times is a boost to the exp gained from killing enemies with higher level, in 4/6 weeks maybe.
holy molly, the arrogance is real in you
if so, you must be in your 50’s something now then
well bad news, mister. The Blizzard you knew is not there for long time now.
And it is US, the players who decide what if a fun mechanic and what isn’t. You may submit and watch the game slowly completely lose competition with MR or leave your voice for better changes. Always up to you.
Like i said it’s only experience.
Yeah the original Blizzard i first encountered is no more here, but was the good one.
So the bad news is only for you, the actual Blizzard will not hear you, will not change idea for long time and if change idea, will do little changes every fews weeks until or is too late or are forced.
We are playing a game called “Overwatch 2” only because Blizzard was too slow to make changes and the game died…
And better i not start to talk of some other Blizzard game, it’s not the first time i see Blizzard do changes nobody asked, they worked on this idea and they will not scrap it, even partially, until too late or forced to change.
I know this far too well lmao. Doesn’t give you a great excuse to just sit down and give up on trying to reach them. Even though, forum may be not the greatest place to unleash your passion, but I just don’t visit places like reddit/FB or whatever else.
And forums would be listened more if people showed more interest and actual feedback.
Like i said it’s experience, not arrogance, more not sure if the right english word capitulate, after 1 time you complain and see nothing changed for weeks and months, 2 times, 3 times, 10, 20 and so on across 20 years, you simple stop complaing and simple wait and see.
If they change in time good, if they not change the game slowly die and you will see if they try to ressurect it with an expansion(happened in WoW and Diablo 3) or transforming a patch in a “sequel”(the Overwatch/Overwatch 2 situation).
Well, what’s the point in doing anything in life if in the end you feed worms anyway, right?
This logic doesn’t get you anywhere, even though these things seem to make sense.
But you can leave this for yourself, I will just take my shot and try to make the difference, whether its waste of time or not.
doesn’t cost me anything
Yeah, but they lose their ultimate.
I simple give you an hint, don’t have too much hope with Blizzard.
If they change idea and do something about it, will be after long time or too late.
I been with this game past 7 years, I know that myself lol. Doesn’t mean I can’t try.
I think perks should have a way to be lost. Like they should reset on death. This would mitigate the snowballiness of perks.
That would mean they can’t be a preset loadout (which is a good idea in its own right) and have to remain earnable. They would have to dramatically increase the speed at which they can be earned though.
After the bomb MR just dropped (Johnny and Ben), they will try even harder. Like no fancy pixar cinematics and millions of views going up and up.
Yikes…okay. Maybe YOU can’t play the game without swapping, but others can. Honestly the perk loss on swap is THE best thing about perks. Countering doubled in strength and became OP when they got rid of the off tank, and high rank play is both tanks swapping 30 times a game and swap battling in spawn, it’s absurd. If that doesn’t happen it’s the other 4 team mates who constantly swap to hard counter the tank forcing them to once again swap 30 times a game. It’s actually caused many people to leave this game (im one of them).
Perk loss on swap is amazing and gives a downside to swapping so this sort of thing happens less. Swapping should come at a price when it’s this strong, I had no idea they were doing this and was so happy when I noticed it. It’s extremely unlikely to ever leave so get used to it.

If it was just me then why counter swapping so big, mister forum andy? A need of tank swapping against a tank is there because they are so broken strong that dps and supports hardly can deal with them without tank swapping.
And I do absolutely not see perks solving that.
cause it’s OP and free value
5v5 problems. Don’t like it? Start voting for 6v6. But if 5v5 is gonna stick around, it needs the perk loss on swap. Otherwise it just goes back to rock paper scissors.
false
counterswapping is the only way to deal with bunch of heroes because game balance is dogwater poor and full of cheese.
Perks do
not
solve
this
issue
period
I mean I’ve never swapped because the game balance I’ve swapped because the entire other team swapped to counter me at tank. That sucks so bad. I don’t want you to be able to do that for free, that’s the cheese not the counter itself. You come out as junkrat and the other team comes out as flyers you swap right away or deal and swap later and you get your perks faster anyway you don’t lose everything.
But also calling flyers cheese in defense of junkrat the king of cheese is a little weird lol.
Anyway no it would be terrible if you got all your ult charge and perk progress back on swap. That would literally be awful. I swapped last night between rounds of control and lost a perk and it was worth it going up against 3 hard counters to ball. Was worth swapping off.
I doubt they will do this as the entire point is from their point of view “player agency” and allowing you to “react to the enemy”
if they allow everyone to just pick the better perk automatically that removes the entire point of the system from their marketing point of view
it’s not a perk, it’s just a buff to the hero
