The game should be balanced around GM

If it’s OP, it’s not balanced. I think you deeply misunderstood everything i said.

Nope. The reason is simple. I care about myself first, I am weird this way.

Yes, í’m talking how this can be better for everyone, so this means you aswell.

How exactly would it be better for me?

Read the post? Just copy-pasting what i said in the OP would be pointless.

Why you think there will not be any GM who will just try to make heroes OP? There are people also, they are not like the best and the smartest people in the world.

I already read it, I don’t see anything in there which would make the game better for me.

Do you think that the balance will be based on interviews? What?

You look at stats, pickrates winrates, damage/healing etc. and then you determine what should be balance or not. They will automatically pick the best because they want to win.

So if some GM’s want a change for balance and Blizzard thinks that it’s fine and implements it, although 98% of casual players are saying it would be bad to implement it, it’s fine and better for everyone?

Then no one sould be complaining if I pick widow in silver since she is balanced/OP in GM.

Can you give a possible example?

I will give you the stink eye for picking Widow in Silver :eye:

Exactly, it’s only your skill with the hero that will affect your game.

I think its beta to balance around mid tier, that way you can predict how powerful a hero will be higher or lower.

This game needs to be balanced around all skill levels.
Which should involve making the skill curve of heroes similar.
If you single out one level, it’s going to be a mess everywhere else.

Mercy Rework? I mean check the thread of continued feedback - GM’s were happy, they don’t care anymore. Quote from some streams: “Yaaaaaaaaaaas, Mercy is finally trash and dead”

She is not trash or dead at GM. You should check the stats.

The exact same could be said of balancing around Bronze, then finding a character is really powerful in GM because of skill despite the fact that the character is balanced in other ranks.

Like, I don’t know. Tracer.

Looking at pickrate is also bad way to balance in my opinion, its not always right about who need help and who dont.
Lets look at Reinhardt (sorry for using my main)
He have hig pick rate, and he will have it because there is not many heroes with big shield, true tanks (a lot just dont like orisa but some say she is better)
But if they will not change him and make 2 other main tanks, he will propably be like f tier tank

But since most ppl in low elo suck with her she is considered useless hero there which means GM balancing doesn’t work well in low elo.
