Spilo talked for hours and days with devs

Spilo got into creators group recently and seem to have used the opportunity to talk with Dev’s in person for hours.
While I don’t agree with all his opinions especially he is also a well known hanzo hater.

It’s a lot of info worth checking out and their design philosophies.

Dude mentioning Geoff Goodman being the reason for Mauga, Lifeweaver being bad designs when they’re still far better designed than Sigma, Mercy, Brig

Mercy is fine in general, brig was definitely super bad, sigma is not a bad design but a overbloated one, remove one of his abilities he will be fine.

Mauga lw are bad designs, they can either be op due to stat buff or become mediocre due to bad design that doesnt have elements suited for the game.

I hate sigma as much as you do, but he can easily be fixed. Which is why its even more irritating that they let sigma ruin the game.

Mauga lw cant be without total overhaul.

I’m not surprised, but disappointed, that basically their stance on tanks is “y’all are overreacting, tanks are fine.”

The problem with Mauga is his giant hitbox, so there’s no skill gap in Mauga mirrors.

Lifeweaver they just overbuffed tree of life, just nerf the ultimate cost. He still takes way more skill than Mercy with the pulls/ platform lineups.

Mercy ruins the game enabling smurfs, everyone abuses it…most boosted hero in gaming while being the easiest.

Sigma overbloated kit, with a shield, defense matrix, CC. You couldn’t make a more broken hero.

Brig ruined the game and then they went and buffed rally to be a nightmare of an ultimate again. It’s as if Supports can’t have a balanced ultimate, they need to be babied and hard carried by pressing Q

Are content creators designing and balancing this game now??

current brig is fine though even with rally buffs, mercy is sort of like widow but at the opposite end of spectrum, like widow encorages cheaters and smurfs, mercy encourages boosters and smurfs.

But overall mercy is balanced in general by herself, its just she keeps breaking thresholds of heroes that blizzard nerf conviniently at a threshold were the reason they nerf can be negated with boost.

I mean this is the issue, i really hate they ruined hanzo identity to spamzo, but here is the thing the people who are rejoicing hanzos ruin cant even rejoice fully cause the moment he gets dmg he is old hanzo and probably better due to easier aim.

I dont think them nerfing ashe soj hanzo to these thresholds were it makes them oneshot is mercy’s fault.

Its just laziness from devs not wanting to do real work. So they just do these valuie were people cant ask for proper rework cause he still one shots.

sigma is broken overbloated mess yes.

I hope so. GET A10 ON THAT TEAM ASAP

No way you’re still talking about Junk when they gave you 120 mines. You really need to crutch that one shot eh.

This guy is still complaining about Moira. His ego is so high that he thinks that it’s all about mechanical skill and aiming, he thinks that he knows everything and better than actual devs. I can’t take him seriously at all. And plus he looks like he came out of the cave every time he shows up.

Spilo is the one content creator I eye for the science and understanding of overwatch. He isn’t GM/top 500 he is a coach and coaches all ranks. He sees and knows all ranks and it is best for developers to take his opinions and thoughts more seriously than other creators.

Samito with all his knowledge of top500 doesn’t understand a great portion of the game.
Most creators are lacking in the full picture understanding of the game at every rank.

To be fair, she’s pretty good rn.

On another note, I could care less about his takes, but if ccs could balance the game that means A10 could balance the game. A10 is like overwatch jesus. I love A10.
Everyone should love A10. A10 is so perfect. Everyone likes A10

Geoff Goodman understood the art of DPS tanking far better than anyone else and I suppose he was the only reason I ever bothered to play that garbagio role. Waah, waah… This tank is a fat DPS, Mr. Goodman. “Okay.”

Miss that guy.

Goodman was cool besides making Sigma really. He liked dps being strong, you could tell he loved Cassidy. At one point Cassidy had a faster Rof, then more range with good old trusty flashbang

Even the way he talked about Sojourn mentioning Halo railgun.

He’s one of the worst heroes in the game AKJ.
