You can’t forget about the one shot hog and the inter dimensional hook hog. Those were both amusing in their own ways…

Please bring back soul orbs. Reaper needs a rework or buffs

- There was a time when the teleport of Shadow Step was red-coloured for the friendly teammates as well, not just for the enemies.
- Reaper’s former version of ‘The Reaping’ passive ability, which spawned healing globes unique to Reaper from the bodies of his fallen victims. While the new The Reaping passive ability is quite interesting and fascinating, the old version had deep roots tied into the lore, as victims of the vengeful Reaper were described as lifeless husk which very soul was drained by the unstoppable Angel of Death.
- The Beyblate meta, that time in Overwatch history (we are talking about August-September 2016) when Reaper was a very popular played hero and revered as the most balanced character in the entire game. The utopian Overwatch. I seek to correct the flaws of this game by restoring this ancient meta.

Does Nerf count as changes? If it is the case… 30M Aura Lúcio and Old Mercy (Q Resurrect). Anyway: The heroes supports before the nerfs.

- 400 armor/200 health D.va with defense matrix an E that was on a set cool down
- When D.va coud die to her own mech bomb
- When Symmtra’s shields were her E ability and granted 25 health
- Multiple Heroes in QP/Comp
- When you were in a 6th stack as 1 Mercy & only Pharah’s/Junrat’s for DPS who would simultaneously commit suicide so you could 5-man rez them and get POTG
- Mercy getting POTG all of the time for rezzing 3 people
- (2.0) Mercy getting POTG at all, that isn’t just her flying around in Valk doing…nothing?

The only thing that I miss from old Overwatch is duplicate heroes.
Having multiple heroes on your team was fun.

-Symmetra could grant 25 shields to teammates
-Symmetra’s Car Wash achievement was actually more impressive to earn before the rework since she only had a max of 3 turrets to deploy at a time
Bastion in Closed Beta.
Good times.

i complained about beyblade a lot back in the day, but at least it was something that took team wide coordination to pull off (reaper + ana + lucio + zarya), and i think it wouldn’t be as powerful if it was in the game today.
i also remember being one of those people who thought rein would never not be a must pick because the maps were designed around him… now i think most of the maps poorly suit him because of all the highground that gets abused against him + he can do nothing about. lol
