Love to see this game moving towards a direction where cover doesn’t matter, playing around ultimate’s is useless because they’re guaranteed to hit with this Sigma change. Now all we gotta do is give Grav lock on like a Cassidy grenade, Shatter ignore barriers, Orisa being able to charge her ult and fly around like a helicopter and D.Va being able to fly around her self destructing mech before it explodes and we will finally reach peak skillessness.
Well done balancing team, every change you make makes the difference between a bronze and GM player less noticeable.

how does shatter ignore shields? Did i miss something in the patchnotes
It doesn’t I was just saying that if we follow this eventual path of making ults skilless to use, then thats whats gonna happen

I think there could be two reasons.

Blizz traditionally was a PC-game company, but it seems MS cares console(casual) players more.

To prevent stomping games. 5v5 brought huge complaints about stomping games and Blizz doesn’t want to rollback. So they should find other area to reduce the frequency of stomping games : Reduce the skill diff.
That’s cool, they can add these changes to console. But on a PC platform these changes don’t need to be added. All they do is remove counterplay and make the game less skill defined. An ultimate should not be a guaranteed teamwipe everytime.
This is a by-product of 5v5. They have had to create maps and change older maps to provide so much cover to make up for there only being 1 tank that sigmas ult became less effective over time. 5v5 is killing this game imo
