Share your SPICIEST hottakes here!

Depends if I’m in voice, I assume it’s most games. A few women here and there and the odd kid.

Could be a region thing though.

What effort does eliminating someone take over decent aim and positioning? (For most characters)

The main culprits of kill denying are suzu and lamp both have some of the longest cooldowns in the game, grip is another issue entirely but still has a long cooldown + moves an enemy away from the fight.

I have already said in my op that I think Suzu should be single target and not give full immunity. And I have seen different ideas for making lamp and grip less annoying. What more is needed?

The only hot take here is me needing a better attitude to progress with Ball.

Like bro…if Ball could crouch, it would change my entire play style. Like I mean by world’s apart! It would be such an effective indirect buff that I’m sure to make jaws drop and others frown.

IDK, there are a lot of people that aren’t you/don’t play Ball/have no idea what he does or how he works.

Alas, all you can do after you ego someone at the moment is emote, spray, and slap. IDK though, many people get pretty enraged by Ball I end up seeing a lot of Mei/Sombra (and now Hog).

Is it worst if I just stand there menacingly watching them die to mines or my own teammates???

I think the thing about D.Va and Mercy are they have mass appeal, with lots of very large population and most main (well-represented) demographics liking them for one reason or another.

Sorry, you must say hello or at minimum use a voiceline for them to know what happened. You can alternatively get back in Ball form and roll around them while they furiously charge your support ults.

No no. You don’t understand. I stand still and track them with my mouse seconds before they die.

I make sure they know that I am watching then closely.

Sometimes I just shake my head. Left and right.

How do you know they don’t think you shot them!? What if they’re that bad!?!?! If they died to you they clearly already don’t know where to stand or when! I just want to be certain you’re getting your message through.

Ok, that’s more like it. Add in a, “NO.” or “INCORRECT.”

I can add in a “SHUT DOWN.”

Now you’ve got it!

I personally like “V v v victory for the small mammal!”
This BP also has “The hamster smells your fear.”

I actually bought the BP this time around, for free not with real money.

So spamming it should be

Doing damage is harder than landing heals. Heck, there’s literally auto-aim healing and AoE healing. And there’s so much sustain right now that it’s often possible to heal through the damage of multiple people sometimes. As anything but supports it often feels like you can’t kill anything unless you either hit all your shots or your supports contribute to the damage(oh, and supports that don’t do damage are another issue entirely).

Honestly I want them to rework suzu, lamp and grip entirely. Make them less powerful abilities on shorter CDs. 15, 25 and 19 second CDs really don’t feel good to use. It’s much more fun to use weak abilities often than strong abilities twice every fight(or once if it’s really quick fight). Plus, these abilities have no counterplay other than baiting them out, and baiting doesn’t really feel rewarding, just a task you need to accomplish before the fun stuff.

Ana ruined the game harder than amy hero release because she introduced jealing creep into the game, which pushed dps heroes to burst dps, which made ow buff sustained dps which made tanks need buffs too.

Sym thinks he smells foul in an interaction so he increases his fan exhausts 300%.

He is foul bachelor frog in mammal form.

Brig never should have been added in the way that she was. The support role should not have shifted to such blatant autopilot freelo free value design. Tracer should have been nerfed just a touch to change the meta back then. RQ should not have happened nor 5v5.

If you only play hard meta and/or swap your main every balance patch to continue playing the strongest heroes you’re boosted and do not deserve your rank.

Heals alone aren’t enough to deny kills, they just increase ttk. It’s my view that healing and damage are far too high, and are gatekeeping the balance of the game both need to be brought down (healing brought down more than damage)

My hot take is that if Tracer takes off her shoes it’d be hot.

My hot take is, if Sigma actually walked on the floor like a normal person, the entire OW universe would sigh in relief.
