Mauga’s so underrated. I feel like people hate his sustain too much, but really I think he deserves good sustain considering he has no other way to mitigate damage.
I also like to use his ult just to block other people’s ults. They never expect it.
I appreciate these quick balance patches but I really wish they would just give us experimental cards so we can test these changes before they go live.
D.va mains are the genji mains of the tank role. Well, either D.va mains or Reinhardt mains are.

The devs confirmed yesterday that D.Va was one of the big losers in the patch.

And top level players are saying she’s C-tier, just like I predicted. Go to 1:04:50 and listen to Jake
Lol the sigma flux buff, then a week later, hit them with the uno reverse card.
It took average players 12 minutes to be like, “this is busted”.
Blizzard let it get through play testing, and went live.
I think we need to start questioning the developers skill at this game. It would go a long way to explain the projectile size changes.
Who needs to hit a headshot as a widow, when you can just shoot next to their head and still kill them.

Yeah, I read that patch note and immediately knew that was a crazy change.
That’s actually not as bad as I expected. W
Yeah I think my soldier ult should be able to shoot through walls.
Bastian’s ult should go through rooftops.
Coalescence should just reach to the other end of the map and go through everything.
Bob should be able to fly.
Wrecking ball mines should just stay there the whole game.
Dva bomb should be a nuke that wipes the entire enemy team regardless of their position
See all of these sound like really bad ideas, but so does having flux go through walls.
IDK who gave flux the green light.

They are talking about role queue. Role queue is an abomination and is the reason the tanks are the way they are.
Rip roadhog now (20 chars) its hard to stay alive in bronze/plat without constant healing
Role queue is the core game mode and the only mode used for balance purposes. Whenever we have balance discussions, role queue is all that matters.

Personally- It’s not that I hate his sustain
I hate that the mechanics of his sustain prioritize “look at enemy rank. Hold m1 + m2. Hahahahaha guns go bbbbrrrrrrr”
I think the concept of his sustain is neat on paper - but needs a detail shift to encourage him to hit other targets, rather than just look at the tank.

I mean happens when you do not play your own game.
As if we needed evidence they have no clue what they are doing… How many changes have they made that they have to immediately or very quickly revert? It’s insane they couldn’t see this was a stupid buff. Plenty of tank streamers were scratching their heads to figure out why the remove LoS requirement. And nobody ever asked for it.
How do they come up with these stupid ideas?
Hog nerf would have been better targeted at damage reduction as that is what keeps him alive through a lot of targeted fire. Removing 50 health while reducing the delay (a buff) is not going to achieve much. He will just spend a little more time behind cover recharging before engaging but still have the same escape potential while holding breather. He may lose out on the 50 health once per game or something.

At this point they need to bring back his old breather.
Which old breather? There’s been like four different versions now.
The one where he stands still, and it’s on a cool down?
The one where he can walk, and it’s on a cool down?
The one where he can walk, it’s on a cool down, and it mitigates damage?
Just definitely not the one where he can walk, it’s on a resource bar, and it mitigates damage.
Reduce life steal off tank by 50%. That should keep mauga in the dumpster where he belongs
Poor changes. Hog was not in need of any nerfs and Sigma caught a stray just so they could justify Hog’s nerfs. Rein is still unkillable and able to play hyper aggressive
Nobody belong anywhere. Get off your high horse

This counts for Roadhog as an emergency nerf. He’s been a little too good recently.
