Revert hero balance back to where it was before Goats

Or give me something that shoot through shields or is anti-shield (other than Bastion)

Ok but like can y’all nerf doomfist and snipers please? Quit buffing balanced heroes and nerf the op ones. Same with sigma and orisa. Most tanks are balanced besides those two

I’m a bit confused here. Triple shield? Where’s the third shield coming from?

Well yeah because you completely butchered Brigitte, compared to how she was at release…

You misspelled “nerfs”.

you talked about junkrat “buffs” but all balance changes with junkrat recently have been net NERFS, so im not sure what
“BUFFS” you are talking about, because giving him a slight buff on something then nerfing another part of his kit is a overall net NERF

Well to be honest, GOATs was so strong that there was only one comp that could effectively do something against it, and that was Sombra/Doomfist, so after the November patch where Doom got nerfed into oblivion, anything against GOATs that wasn’t GOATs was considered hard throwing.

So even with all these nerfs to each individual hero that formed GOATs, the comp was just unbeatable. Teams decided to play and practice DPS heroes more, once the 2/2/2 thing was lurking around.

Just curious, why are balance changes always on the PTR for so long? I feel like these nerfs to Zarya and Symm are really needed on live, because as you say, they are doing 40% more damage, but they have been on the PTR for almost 3 weeks with no other changes… why does it take so long?

Sometimes I wish they didn’t do this. If something’s broken, they take too long to change it. Nobody wants to wait a month while you figure out what you’re doing. Blizzard needs to start hotfixing stuff. If it’s broken, try a solution. If that doesn’t work try something else. Their tendency to leave the game untouched for so long is causing it to be stale.

comment under “valkia’s” tweet…

This video is just to show the difference with all the new added elements, and how different it is now (not in a negative way). There was 9 Ults being used

Make sure to drop a follow for more OW

read before you want to use it as an example :smiley:

Revert all changes but keep Hammond, Baptiste and Ashe. Add new Brig and rework Sigma before re-adding him.

Thank you so much for your insight on this situation, please know that we greatly appreciate responses like these from the devs!

What do you think about

  1. Decreasing the Slow effect on Halt.
  2. And increasing Lucio speedboost back up.

I think making it easier for Rein to get within hammer swinging range, would work really well against Sigma/Zarya, who can get overwhelmed by close range attacks.



Also, are you aware of the concept that DoubleSniper is why all these heavily shielded metas keep happening. And maybe have thought about reducing Hanzo’s shieldbreak/tankkilling to a point that DoubleSniper isn’t viable.
For instance, what if StormArrow did not increase Hanzo’s DPS, and only was really used to followup on a bodyshot on an evasive target.

Orisa isn’t overpowered at all. She barely changed and is basically the same.

Sigma got balanced already on PTR.

But yes, Doomfist needs to be looked at.

Alright, I get that.

But what about the Sombra nerfs?
Was that needed as well?

Damn. Truth! Preach. :cold_face:

It is hilarious that Symettra players claimed that there wasn’t a damage increase on the character.
