Valk may be getting health regen when Mercy does crazy heals/ is a tank while healing. I didn’t complain about Mercy’s heals or tankiness cause the GA nerf, health regen nerf but this is concerning.
Magnetic grenade, the ability really isn’t that strong being 10m and having detonation time. It would be useless if they nerfed it. They should just give Cassidy back CC or a new ability like Destiny’s grappling hook. It would give Cassidy decent mobility having synergy with fan the hammer, call it lasso. Cassidy needs a new ultimate more than anything, Dead Eye is the worst ultimate in the game. It’s so easy to LOS, you can deflect it, wall it, snipe it. An aim ultimate or something he can aim during like Bob that would tank for him.
Mei might get her CC back but her left click already does tons of damage so how will they balance that? Nobody wants to see Mei in your games walling your tank farming them. If anything they should buff the right clicks projectile speed, that’s where the skill is in Mei.
The balance was pretty much perfect until that last patch buffing Zarya’s bubbles again. The next patch just sounds bad all together on what they’re thinking on.

Well, I am glad you enjoyed it, but it was trash. And it will keep being that way because the decisions have been inherently bad and these are more of the same. So whatever?

ow1 Flash bang will probably work very well in currerent balance without being too op. Especially against ball and tracer, sombra etc. Flash bang in ow1 was fine, the problem was too many cc stacked together which can be very annoying. Add back a little bit stuns will help the balance to dive heros, so they can be a bit stronger without being op.

Agree, as long as they don’t buff Tracers damage back to 6

Meanwhile I’m just waiting for the devs to make it so the game doesn’t boil down to which team has the best AWP or Deagle user.

Giving Mei some of her CC back might save OW2 for me. Removing that freeze has just killed OW for me, it added so much to playing her. I am hopeful for this change.
No doubt the awful community will cry and whine about it until it is removed again because they would rather be playing CoD. Because they know the cost of everything yet the value of nothing.

No, freeze was awful to play with and against. She was my least played hero in ow1 and she has sling shotted to my top 5 in ow2. She is so much better and less cheesy now

Well God knows why that is considering in OW1 she was more interesting, characterful, fun and unique. Or you could just be a cry baby who hates Mei and is playing devils advocate pretending you play her now, who knows.
Her freeze is fine to play against, it’s what made Mei a meme queen, rather than this hollow character we have today.

No, it’s because hard CC is garbage and unfun to play with and against. Her freeze was stupid af. It also required follow up on any tank. She’s more fun now. I say the same about other hero’s too. They made bastion fun to play as well when he was boring af in OW1. OW is at its best when it’s fast paced and you don’t have characters like mei and brig slowing the game down with hard crowd control

Strongly disagree. Hard CC is a great thing and teh removal of it is one of the reasons OW2 is so boring compared to OW1.
Oh and I prefered Bastion in OW1 too, he was again unique.
I honestly can’t see how you could find Mei more fun now. Since they ruined her I have gone from playintg her 20 hours a week to maybe half an hour a week, she feels empty without the freeze.

Well that’s where the difference lies. I like fast paced shooters. OW came back to its roots of being a over the top fast shooter like it was originally instead of the sustain comp infested crap it was near the end

131 damage heat-seeking (even around corners) cooldown skill is quite strong
It’s like a junk mine with autoaim but it does more damage and is shorter range and you can’t destroy it

I do find it quite interesting that AKJ, who talks so much crap about Junkrat, likes magnetic grenade.

I’d rather have Junkrats double mines, Moira orb, anti grenade, overload. They’re all stronger than magnetic grenade since it’s 10m and has detonation time. It’s not a good ability.
I can’t wait to get my Valk regen back I missed it!

They’d have to nerf the healing back to 60 and remove the tankiness. The only thing that balances Valk right now is the no regen
giving Mei back freeze CC will be the dumbest decision they can make, because they know how much it was vilified and with good reason. Magnetic grenade I couldn’t care less about as I know how to counter Cassidy-I’ve had very little issue with him to be honest. Hard CC is bad, and anyone who says it’s good for the game is incredibly unaware of how bad it was in OW1-unless they were the person responsible for giving it, in which case your bias makes your comments about it invalid.
I can guarantee if they bring back hard CC there’ll be hell to pay and it will justified. These devs have to be real careful here or they’re going to ruin season 4 and that’s the breaking point for people giving up on the game. We’re 3 seasons in and it’s been brutal-if they don’t get the jist of how bad it’s been they shouldn’t be in team 4-or they haven’t been giving the necessary time/info to adjust/on how it’s been in the past if they’re new to the team, and if that’s the case-shame on the higher ups for being the usual pieces of garbage that they are.
Hard CC WILL ruin the game. And hearing this will make me enjoy killing Mei even more now as Rein.

No its range is 13 meters and if you have a movment ability it can track like dash and ga both can be tracked up to 27 meters. And it does 131 damage you dont really need to aim it and only need a body shot to kill a person with it so no its not balanced in the slightest
