The TTK (time to kill) is so freaking low this patch. Everything gets melted and its mostly a contest of who can shovel more damage down the enemy’s throat faster.
Damage heroes are basically just one shot heroes or burst damage. Since barriers can’t help take space anymore they have free sight lines. Tanks are basically just glorified DPS and generally have gold damage. We’re at the point where Zarya and Roadhog is now a viable duo because the barriers in the game don’t matter much anyway. Supports are kind of arbitrary because to keep anything alive you need to be a Moira, Ana or Baptiste smashing their cooldowns and healing on a Tank without time to think about anything else. Or a Mercy or Zen amping the damage and accepting that healing is mostly a lost cause.
It feels kind of like we’re back to square one with Overwatch. Damage heroes are extremely strong and have little counterplay. Tanks can roam free mostly unchecked. And Supports need to be babysat 24/7 or they’re dead.
Been watching GM twitch streamers today and ball hog torture looks like it’s going to be a thing. Reinhardt was getting stomped, shield up for 1.5 seconds and gone. Sigma shield up for 0.8 seconds and 150 health . This is definitely going to be a shieldless meta.
i actually like that shields get melted now and are not a crutch anymore, makes being an offtank mean something. they just need to buff d.va a bit more to be on hammonds level
I kinda like it imo. Before the nerfs, everyone would just huddle behind shields until it died and the next one would come up immediately anyway. The game would only go forward if someone felt ballsy enough to flank.
Now, there’s actual movement around the map, and you can find all roles scattered around. tanks on high ground, supports flanking with dps. it’s spicy, i like it.
Except this game was advertised as an FPS-MOBA fusion and now they’re trying to cater only to the FPS side. Not even them, they’re catering to their miniscule OWL viewership.
If I wanted to play a shooter I would play the literal dozens to hundreds of other options. I play Overwatch because they had more than just “shoot the thing” aspects.
Then again, why am I surprised, their last decent lore writer left, so I don’t know what’s keeping me here anymore.
Look… …just cause you’re not good enough at the game doesnt mean you’re 100% right with these ridiculous assumptions like these ones. And you’re just wrong…
These are just bunch of bad takes… Geesh.
You might aswell play single player games at this point if you dont like how fps games are & should go more fps like.
. This is definitely going to be a shieldless meta.
this game an actual fps now
