Games are supposed to be fun. Being knocked all over the place and stun locked to death is the opposite of fun. Not having control of your character is not fun. If I wanted that I would watch a movie not play a game.
This wasn’t fun when WoW started doing it, and it’s not fun now that OW is starting to do it.
But Genji, Tracer and the dive meta are sooo going to get punished, right ?! It is not like heroes that have slower mobility will not get affected worse than the dive characters right ? Hahaa –
I wonder if they put that into consideration or thought it wouldn’t make that much of a difference. I don’t mind Brigitte, but her 5 second stun is really…obnoxious. Even Genji has cooldowns that last longer.
You know how you deal with a Tracer or a Genji?
Moira. Mei. Symmetra. Out of those, Mei is the only one with a CC. The others counter the two flankers super well.
I agree with OP as both a WoW and OW player.
But being jumped by Dva and Tracer and sent back to the respawn room is so much fun, right?
stun meta is 10 times better then dive meta which we have had for the last 2 years.
It’s funny when people say tanks can take care of Brig when they’re countered the hardest by her. Similar to Sombra.
I hate playing a frontline tank and lettig stunned+over half my health deleted in that second of the stun thanks to my thicc hitbox. I can stay out of her stun distance as Genji, but tanks are screwed.
… I guess I should have placed a huge /s because the whole post was purely sarcastic.
This! Absolutely this!
Disagree. Dive is only effective with coordination. Stun meta can be effective everywhere. Dive has also become less dominant as of late and more heroes are starting to be used.
Stun meta ruined HotS for a while and I won’t be surprised if it does the same to OW as well.
Just about as fun as losing any fight id imagine… no-one likes the spawn room lol
Rogues made me tilt so hard as a Huntard main.
Do you know what’s worse than a diving Tracer or any dive hero ?
A diving Tracer or any dive hero with extra 75 armor on them given by Brigitte alone.
I wouldn’t use the words “super well”. The damage they deal is undodgeable, but the amount of free movement and mobility Tracer and Genji have allows them to just disengage whenever they want and reengage later.
Symmetra and Moira (lesser extent) does not get to choose when to fight Tracer and Genji, only they do. And that’s why CC (especially close range ones) is important against them, because they can’t just easily escape as they would have and punishes them for engaging recklessly
IT’S TIME FOR SLEEP META! unclear somethin
tbh i’d rather deal with stuns and knockbacks than being helplessly jumped and being killed so easily. And Brigitte’s presence help nullifying the latter instead of reinforcing it, surprisingly enough.
but i came from Paladins where stuns, knockbacks, and CC in general is the norm for almost every character, so maybe that’s why i’m pretty okay with it. And compared to good ole Paladins, OW is much more forgiving when it comes to dealing with CC abilities.
well that seems like a tracer or dive hero issue.
Not a 75 armor issue.
what stun meta? we are still stuck in the dive meta!
So, we’re playing with McCree’s flashbang, Pharah knockback, Junkrat’s trap and mine, Mei’s gun and ult, D.Va’s boosters, Orisa’s halt, Reinhardt’s Charge and Ult, Roadhog’s hook and ult, Winston’s and Zarya’s ult, Ana’s sleep dart, Lúcio’s boop for MONTHS but then suddenly BRIGITTE is too much?! Ok.
What stun lock? the cooldowns physically do not allow any stun lock to happen?
