So why are there only 6 of them out of the 27 total? And FIFTEEN damage heroes? There are more damage heroes than tank and support heroes COMBINED. And the dps class is the least important role on top of that. There should also be 15 support heros and 15 tanks, this distribution of heroes into classes is grossly unbalanced
Edit: I think Blizz should start releasing 2 heroes at once, or even more, until the distribution of heroes is equal or near it
Alright, where were you when the only choices were Mercy, Lucio, and Zen. Then they added Ana and that was it for a year or two.
I’m actually fine with the amount of healers now. We can get a few later but right now there is a healthy variety.
I wasn’t on these forums back then. What kind of reply was that?
While yes, the classes should balance out eventually, they are much better now than they were at launch.
I was there when Zenyatta had 150HP and Widow could OHK him with a bodyshot.
Good ol’ times!
Lol yeah right. Blizz has release a grand total of 6 heroes in 2 entire years, and Hammond won’t be out for weeks yet. Video game lifetime doesn’t normally last that long, maybe a couple years
Haha yup! I actually miss Lucio when his auras were line of sight instead of this little tiny circle they are now
I the key term being normally, this is Blizzard after all, they’ve kept WoW going for about 15 years now.
That’s a good point, but when you think about it, these aren’t all the same people working on the same games. Theres probably a few crossovers, I think Kaplan said he worked on WoW for example. But while he was doing that, a lot of people were playing stuff like league of legends and call of duty. Every other MOBA has a lot of characters, but OW doesn’t even have 30? Its just bad game design, theres no excuse. I’ve heard Blizzard say they don’t want a 100 characters cus they think it would be bad, but that’s an opinion, not a fact. Blizzard just doesn’t understand the value of having a big hero pool. There just aren’t enough characters to play as and I don’t want to hear any nonsense about balance either. OW is continuously balanced but very little new heroes are added. This is a mistake in a game built around heroes. League of Legends has more utility characters than the entire roster of Overwatch, this is a joke.
