HONESTLY IF ECHO IS A FLYING HEALER I WILL LEGIT BE MAINING BOTH HER AND MOIRA LMAO.

I fricken love playing moira in low grav lmao. I hate flying in the sky with Mercy tho, I feel like I have to constantly look at Pharah’s butt, yuck.

I’m actually glad that she’s doing poorly and hope she does worse in my pipe dream of then REVERTING HER HEALS and instead giving the masses what they really wanted which was dmg.orb gone

I’ve always wanted Moira heal based and a new heal ability focus but BLIZZARD WANTS THAT TO BE MERCY and I hate it

Console players will legit crying, but SO MUCH FUN IS WAITING.
If she is like cinematics.

I don’t think it’s nearly as true of supports as it is of tanks, if my queue times are any indicator. In QP, generally I’m waiting ~6m to play DPS, ~3m to play support, but tanks are thirty seconds at most. In low ranks Comp, the screen will usually read DPS >10m, support < 10m, tanks < 2m (the lowest value it displays).

The support class has its issues, don’t get me wrong, but it’s tanks that really need that lovin’.

This patch has only strengthened double shield, and subsequently made the rest of the tanks obsolete at high tiers.

We’ve gone backwards.

You’re nuts. Orisa, Sigma, and Mei are still completely dominating high tier tank balance.

I don’t hate the heroes, but outside of sym and sombra i don’t know…
You can’t balance bastion around a team that isn’t build around him.
Otherwise building around him becomes the meta norm.

(phara is imho based on map geometry, as she’s played even against widows/mccrees in owl)
If i’m not fully mistaken.
Oasis is a loved map.

I think sym and sombra have big potential, both requireing huge coordination, so imho both are candidates for owl niveau. As it needs great coordination.

Especially since sym lost the lock on,
But turrets will always be a handicap imho.

The only thing sym imho has for pro play is tp.

Sombra has hack and emp, both ultra powerfull, so the hero itself can’t be ultra powerfull by default.

Blizzard litteraly said, they fear a to strong tp, but honestly…
I’d love to see what runaway or nyxl can do with a “designed for pro’s” tp ability.

What options it offers for a coordinated team…

I can think of some more heroes who also need a little help or further work. One patch isn’t enough to call this game truly the golden age of balance.

More likely you would run her with Pharah, and D.Va, and make the enemy team’s lives hell by controlling the skies :wink:

Nah, supports are still a mess. Even nerfed Baptiste will be better than any other main support by a large margin and Moira is unplayably bad.

This means you have few real options as support comps. Baptiste is fully obligatory as a main healer, so you generally can’t/shouldn’t play Ana or Moira and Mercy is only viable as an off healer with Baptiste.

hanzo got a love tap while others got spanked on booty.

this.
mercy and zen are only st healers w/o aoe outside of ults.

ana is st with nades aoe heal

brig has aoe heal as passive and her st ability.

lucio, bap, moira (all popular picks) are straight up all aoe healing (and latter 2 of them have highest/high hp/s output in game while being aoe)

aoe healing (moira & bap) at hp/s of st healing (ana/mercy) is actually a bad thing imho.

it has no downside for being able to effect more than 1 person.

aoe heals should be weaker than st heals since they have that added benefit.

and if they actually balanced healers this way (so each healer has a team comp it excels with) they could finally tone down burst dmg across board and tanks can be tuned for normalized dmg/healing

Baptiste is barely AoE, the problem is the sheer amount of healing he can dump out so quickly.

Lol yeah right. Blizzard buff Sym, Pharah, Bastion, or Sombra. KEKW

Bastion needs a major rework though

You realize after this patch its just gonna be the highest burst dps chars again?

So long as double shield is a thing the game will resolve around the highest damage comps.

Possible, but unlikely. I was making a joke about the speed of the patches, not the content.

Plus 1 more patch and we get new sexy OWL redesign skins

Hahahahah not even close.

Doomfist is about to be dumpstered.

In Plat/Diamond, Support queues regularly are the same as DPS queues, or 10 minutes. Tanks have been abysmal but many people see them as boring but honestly, I personally have tons of fun playing Tanks. Not sure why people think tanks are boring but it’s personal opinion.
