EMP is ULT that means it will happen 2 - 4 times in game not to mention Sombra is one of the least played heroes 
Its like saying that any 200 hp hero is bad against Doomfist because he just exists

Just because Sombra isn’t played that much doesn’t mean we need to add 1 more hero to the “heroes EMP neuters” list.
Blade already gets countered by EMP, him losing almost half of his health is just adding insult to injury.
Doomfist doesn’t wipe off 100% of a specific type of health by just pressing Q immediately with no counterplay.
Regardless, adding shields to Genji is really just not that good an idea, Sombra or not.
What I want:
Brig buffs
Moira buffs
Pharmercy nerfs
Cree nerfs
A total Hog rebalance

The point is to make Ball players reconsider when to take space so they maximise value with minimum exposure. Right now Ball is the best main tank at high levels. Instead of making Ball worse at his job, I wanted to make him pay an alternate price for riskier plays. If he doesn’t get value on an engage, he bleeds ult economy.
Agreed, IMO it doesn’t matter if he loses hp to EMP when it already kills him most of the time. You can’t be doubly dead and as a Genji main I’d rather have the extra survivability vs the other 31 heroes.
You’re kind of arguing the against my reasoning with the exact same reasoning. No shade, I just find that funny.
I dont see it.
I said blade gets countered by EMP already, and this change would make it counter blade even harder.
Regardless I’m still not fond of Sombra being able to wipe like 33% of Genjis health immediately by pressing Q.
When will the forums give this up?? Ball doesn’t need yet another nerf. We know this change is happening in OW2 so don’t wish it to come earlier.
Except he’ll bleed ult economy no matter what since most players aren’t at the highest levels. I assume you, a plat DPS main, would know that you don’t often find GM balls in plat. Seems like someone’s just salty they shot the ball a lot and didn’t have their ult after a single fight.

Are you just progressively getting more toxic for a response?
I don’t care about Ball right now, I don’t hate him, I’m not salty, I’m indifferent. Ult economy doesn’t really play a role in metal ranks so it’s a nonexistant nerf for them. This is specifically a nerf for top level Ball play based on the meta in the Overwatch League.
Gold player talking about rank btw lol
Ball needs buffs not nerfs and this makes him unplayable
Please stop asking for it because if it happened I’m not joking ball would be a throw pick

Balancing around overwatch league meta is just a terrible idea because it assumes coordination and highly skilled players exists at every rank. The only exception to this is the nerf to Echo with Dva’s ult charge since it’s actually abusable.
I’m high plat on tank which is the only role I ever play outside of placements. I only brought rank up because you tried to speak for the upper ranks while being in one of the “metal ranks” yourself. Additionally, Hammond needs the ult-charge-blocking shields because it promotes the play style he was designed specifically for. If you played any ball you’d know this, but you don’t, so don’t try to balance the game until you know the ins and outs of every hero.

This is how you know someone is in metal ranks

“Top down balancing has never worked in esports, it’s fundamentally a bad idea” 
Nice bait
If you actually believed what you said you wouldn’t weigh in on balance, you have baby hours.
2700 peak isn’t “high plat” btw 
I just noticed it was 2700 on XBOX, but go off
If you’re reply is going to talk about how you’re a smurf who’s soooo much better than me, no you’re not. Go back to call of duty.
2700 is my current rank, peak in 3100 on tank and around 2700 for both supp and dps. And gee I’m sorry I don’t spend every waking moment of my life on this game, I just have better things to do in life. Your balance suggestions suck, neither of us are anywhere near qualified to balance the game but I’m the only one who seems to acknowledge that, instead you’re resorting to rank-shaming and platform-shaming. Control your ego and stop pretending you know what you’re doing.
All of these are just regurgitated ideas that someone else thought of

The fact that you’re so insecure about rank that you have to bring it up in everthing your involved in only to backpedal when you get called out is telling. I don’t spend time on this game either, I’m a washed casual (and you still can’t do better on your main role, on an easier platform but keep talking). At the end of the day I do this for fun, but if you tell me to shut up because of sr the least you can do is be consistent.
Respectable take.
You literally have a gold border dude quit pulling things out of of nowhere, I’m just here to tell you your balance changes suck (and are completely unoriginal for that matter) and you don’t understand the game design. You know why dps players get so much hate? Because of people like you.
Lol ok dude, made it personal to get a response, flex sr only to realise that I can check profiles too, then go on a tangent about how I have no right to talk about things for fun…
But I’m the problem with this game.
You just get cancer, or are you normally this stuck up?
The Hammond nerf would be large enough that he would effectively be removed from the tank pool.
Tanks don’t need fewer options.

That’s literally just as bad and still proves my point 
Next time I’ll say “low ranks” to be more general
