How the hell do people view him as this beacon of balance when he is clearly overtuned, he has way too much in his kit and his CD cycling can make him near unkillable to the point where I’ve seen him trigger the passive heal this season during it.
Something has to be done about him eventually because it’s getting ridiculous that a lot of my matches I’m in eventually just become Sigma 1v1’s.
Because poke has always been the meta in rank ladder… its the easiest and safest method of winning with the highest stat spread. Its why this patch has made dive a must in organized play… due to how strong poke is with the hitscan buffs.\
Honestly projectiles need reduce wind up time or faster projectile speeds cause if they want ow to be a poke and cover game… alot of changes are going to need to be done.
He is well balanced. Any time he’s meta for a long time, it suggests hitscan/snipers/poke need to be toned down. His strength is a great way to test if poke needs buffs or nerfs.
Who cares? This game shouldn’t be balanced on numbers, it should be balanced on how it feels. And I never hate going against Sigma or having him in my team. He doesn’t need nerfs, he is the goal for other tanks that need changes.
He is the reason poke is meta my guy he is the core component of that team composition but sure it must be something else.
Sigma isn’t meta rn.
Sig’s good in ranked because he can play alone, most other tanks that are better require your team to actually work with you which lets be honest, donest happen in ranked, why would you pick another tank when you get a widow + hitscan every other game.
Nowadays what a tank picks is crazy dependant on what the rest of your team wants to play, its so sad
He’s meta, but on specific maps.
Notably Push and some Payload maps.
And of course he’s meta on those maps, because he can deal with Snipers, while not just holding a blue rectangle and sitting there.
Which if anything to me, says more about how dumb it is to have infinite range on Snipers, and then go and create a bunch of maps with gigantically long sightlines.
All while making it harder to Dive the Snipers, AND easier to aim the Snipers AND then also for some reason buffing their range too.
I got some grievances on that.
He’s not the reason. He’s a symptom of certain DPS being overtuned. He didn’t become meta because he was buffed. he became meta because other heroes were buffed.
Nerf solider, sojourn, etc. (which should have happened a long time ago) and we won’t see sig played (without any adjustments to sig’s kit).
Honestly with the way tanks feel, I wouldn’t nerf any tank period. Tanks that are underperforming should be buffed vs nerfing tanks that are able to withstand the massive onslaught of damage this season.
You clearly don’t know who decides what comp you go. It’s supports btw, try to pick dive tank and play with mercy/ illari backline and then explain to me how tank decides your pick.
Oh right you don’t know that supports are the main source of healing and backbone of every team, so you now know that and after this try to explain how tank decides pick.
I love this! He is great to go up against as dps; not frustrating like Mag or Zar for example.
Thats why i wrote this directly under…
Its exactly my point, the tanks pick is deicded by what their SUPPORT AND DPS choose
Zarya is not frustrating at all, just use high ground lol
''Is the anti-hitscan tank mandatory in this enforced hitscan meta devoid of his counterpicks?
No its Sigma whos OP’’
Dive is meta this season.
I believe Sigma has always been better than average since Overwatch 2 release
I dont see sig that often? Im high gold, and I see a lot of Dva, with healthy amounts of the others
Gold’s don’t play him much, he increases greatly in popularity the higher you climb.
from what I have gathered, kind of. Weird case of being like Winston in that for years he has never really been bad. I play him often, and have a 56% winrate over 600 games, but would say that his strength lies in needing coordination to kill him. Im ok with heroes that require a sombra//large amounts of teamwork to play against, as that is a core design philosophy.
