This game in a nutshell right now

[GreyFalcon-11737]

I figure instead, do something more like this:

TLDR;

• Nerf the AntiDive on Brig/Sig/Bap/Orisa
• Revert knockbacks to how they were in 2018, except for knockbacks delivered by Doomfist/Tanks
• Make Mei a Tank

Kinda underwhelmed with the changes.
I expected them to get the logic that the problem is at close range, not medium/long range.

This is largely just “Nerf High tier, because it’s high tier”.
Which is kind of an autopilot change, and not like they have a plan.

Here’s the kind of changes I would have wanted:

Brigitte

• Shield Bash: 0.1sec stun duration
• Repair Pack: 135 healing over 5seconds, instead of 110 healing over 2 seconds
  • Repair Pack is blocked by enemy barriers, defense matrix, and kinetic grasp.
• Some buff mix of Lethality/Mobility/Durability that makes her a Frontline Brawler, with more Inspire uptime. i.e. 50damage shield bash, on a 6sec cooldown, with 10m range dash. With a 400hp barrier.

Baptiste

• Immortality Field, Does not block kills from attacks that originate within the field.
• Reduce IF cooldown, Increase IF HP, or buff up Regen Burst, or anything really.

Sigma

• Accretion, either make it blocked by Matrix, or better yet, just make it so that it doesn’t stun at all within 0-15m range. Or make it destroyable during it’s cast time and flight, like a Junkrat tire.
• Increased Barrier HP

Orisa

• Fortify, damage resistance reduced to 20%, but gives no ultimate charge to enemies, takes no additional damage from headshots, and can body block EarthShatter.
  • In the code, basically just put an invisible Zarya bubble on Orisa, that’s tied to her own HP.
• More Barrier HP, on a lower cooldown.
• A Gallop Mode Passive:

Mei

• Make her a Tank with 325hp
• 10sec Icewall cooldown
• Can be healed in Iceblock
  • Don’t be lazy and fix that Symmetra bug properly.

Non-Melee Knockbacks

• Reverted to how it was in 2018.
• Except for Reinhardt/D.va/Hammond/Winston/Doomfist
  • Maybe keep Roadhog Ult in the group that keeps their current Knockback, because it’s an Ult. Or not could go either way on this.
• Non-Melee Knockback, and Melee-Knockback are already differentiated by Zarya bubbles. Winston can knockback a bubbled Zarya during his Ultimate, but Lucio cannot knockback a bubbled Zarya.

HealthPack temporary SelfHeal Passive

• Whenever somebody picks up a Healthpack, they get a passive that is disabled whenever they take or give 1hp worth of damage.
• Passive heals them for 10% of the missing Health remaining after getting healed by the
• All heroes are healed to full within 10 seconds after picking up any healthpack. (Since Time-Out-Of-Combat is basically what respawns are)
• Gives Tanks some of the same self-reliance afforded to 200hp heroes, or 225/250hp heroes that have selfheals.
• Largely benefits Winston and D.va and Hammond. Winston and D.va are very popular, but underplayed across all skill tiers.
• Rebalance Hammond based off of this.
