The Baptiste Lie

[shiinotic-1889]

Baptiste is too strong

Been doing a unranked to GM challenge and he’s definitely the easiest support to climb with. Sometimes I need to swap yes, notably vs a good Doom or some other flankers, but his kit has: DPS-tier level of DPS, I haven’t gotten used to the recoil completely, when I will he can do almost McCree level of burst E field on top of common uses like place around corner to save your tanks allows you to claim high ground and bully anyone off from it except the likes of Dva/Wrecking Ball. You’ll ofte…

The only thing i hate about baptist is his stupid lamp

I don’t mind his monster heal capacity or his dmg output. It’s his stupid lamp that has bothered me since day one of his introduction. It’s such a basic ability yet so powerful, in certain situations more powerful than lucio/zen ultimates. That ability needs to be replaced or reworked.

Baptiste breaks shields faster than soldier?

I didn’t even realize this but… Holy cow. This one hit me hard… EDIT: PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY OKAY WITH THIS?

Oh how the turn tables- baptiste

I just feel smug af… I said he broke. And I’ve never been right SO fast. I just wanna gloat. I’m sad because I know reverts don’t exist in this game and I liked launch bappy boi. But also like… It’s not even been a month. Which imo shows that balance should really be worked to be more frequent and managed in a non patch manner. If bappy boi is an issue… Just like Moira… There’s a bigger issue at play.

Baptiste does more damages than sombra

Baptiste whole clip + reload time take 9.9 seconds and do 25*45= 1125 damages Sombra clip + reload time take 4.5 seconds and do 8*60 = 480 damages By dividing 9.9/4.5 = 2.2, we can get than meanwhile bapt does 1125 damages in 9.9 seconds, sombra does 480 * 2.2 = 1056 damages and it doesn’t even count sombra’s spread meanwhile bapt hasn’t any, fall off etc… a healer actually outdamages a dps keep it up blizzard

Baptiste primary fire as strong as S76

I think hero design is more problematic than balance

So many of the new heroes have bloated kits and gimmicky abilities that leave them without vulnerabilities. Bap is a good example. He used to have middle of the pack damage, which could be justified due to him having reliable healing, burst AoE healing and a mini Trance on a cooldown. Then they up his damage for some mysterious reason, without a patch note explanation, but it was such a needed change that it skipped the usual patch cycle. So now he has high damage, mini Trance on cooldown, AoE h…

Hold up! what is this?

wat?

Yes, I read your whole post. Yes, you implemented some arbitrary standard to make your argument look better by saying “b-but not ones that use the shield video!”. However, the clickbait youtuber link And saying “how is this okay??? Wat???” Is sufficient enough that people’s gears are going to turn towards a nerf. It’s a loaded topic.
We can all pretend to stick our heads in the sand, but it’s almost like there’s more “baptiste is fine” topics because this “baptiste is not fine” movement is largely borne out of one of the most ridiculous bandwagons I’ve seen here and that baptiste’s damage is, well, fine. Not to mention that these forums are not the only place where overwatch is discussed. Look at Twitter. Reddit. YouTube.
