The only nerf to Hazard, was a 1 second increase to leap. 1 second
Tracer is very well represented in the T500 leaderboards, and she got buffed?
No Widow nerfs, no Sojourn nerfs, no… Most of the heroes that needed nerfs, did not receive nerfs, and the only one that did got the most bare minimum do nothing nerf?
It’s because Qrow beat A-aron Keller in a 1v1 and the stakes were high. If Qrow lost, they would have given us PvE. But A-aron lost. Again. So Tracer buffs it is. Again.
I wouldn’t be if the patches weren’t seemingly getting worse and worse every time.
I’m surprised they didn’t give Ashe some significant buffs since she also got her mythic weapon today, since buffing heroes that don’t need buffs is clearly something they don’t mind doing anyways
Doesn’t really matter what they do tbh. They could buff/nerf everything perfectly but there are still core gameplay issues. And people can just go play the alternative. Until they actually address what people find unfun then balance updates don’t mean much.
When i think about it, i wonder if they are buffing tracer because of sojourn. Now that soj can 1 shot tracer, we gotta buff one of the strongest heros in the game to compete with a busted one.
Winston has always been stronger than D.Va. There’s no need to buff him, he wasn’t even doing that bad.
Buffing Tracer when she’s still going to be overcast by Sojourn - who is busted - is not going to help.
Nerfing Hazard, who is by far the best tank in the game at the moment, with a 1 second cooldown nerf is laughable.
No Widow nerfs (seriously, they need to gut her - she will never be balanced is atrocious.
I’m just going to say it.
This balance is the one that’s killing the game. They flat-out ignore the things that people want to see and have identified as too powerful, and they ignore it and balance it anyways. This is one of those patches where you look at it and think, “do they even play their own game?” and you calmly reach a conclusion that if you just say they don’t, it makes this all make more sense.
This game is cooked.
Also ffs nerf Hazard in 6v6. They keep “nerfing” him and leaving him in his pre-nerfed state in a mode with another tank. They’re screwing their own data lmao
That’s easy. Stuff like anti nade. Sombra hack. Widow one shot. Immos. AoE heals. If they addressed these things people would go nuts. Even if they made a simple statement like “we’re looking into addressing anti nade.” That statement alone would throw this forum into a state of complete hype.
the tracer buff is kind of wild, part of me doesnt care since i play tracer once in a great while but the other part of me is like… wait i play supports and widow also
Ana got buffed last season when she was the top picked hero in the game, and second picked support in T500. And it wasn’t an insignificant buff. Tracer getting buffed compared to Ana last season feels small potatoes lol. To me, it feels like they’re trying to enable some more traditional dive options, which at least will feel refreshing lol.
In the case of Hazard, yes, he needs more nerfs because he is OP.
But other heroes, like Widow and Ana, need changes because they are fun-sucking cancers on the game. I would include Sombra too even after her rework.
Until they address the fun-sucking heroes, especially those that are in many, many games (Hi Hazard, Ana and Widow), things will never improve.
They should also take a step back and look at the new heroes they have introduced in OW2 and try to figure out what made the hits enjoyable (queen and juno especially) and the misses horrible (Mauga and Hazard especially) before they introduce any new heroes.
