People have to understand that certain heroes were meant to be situational the worst thing would be bastion viable more 75% ++ of the time
even tho they are trying to make sym 100% viable for the low elo wich is kinda bad ngl.

Zaryaâs Damage has gone up and Sigmas damage has gone up (even DVAs damage has gone way up). Echo is a mid to low tier hero so no one cares. McCree is barely better at barrier breaking than he normally is (not his strongest ever I think he has been better 2 or 3 times at breaking barriers). Tracer and Genji should not really be breaking barriers. So basically everything you said is divorced from reality.
Fun fact about McCree though his current state is unquestionably his 3rd strongest. Not even really debatable. His ult is still trash btw. It went from so trash you use it as a reload to sometimes you can get a single kill with it that you could have gotten anyway by shooting but normally not.
Meanwhile in tank land. Zarya does far more damage than every before. Sigma does that exact same level of damage. They literally adding weapons to DVA. Orisa does more damage since launch, but yes lets worry about the barrier break on flankers. If you are a Sigma or a Zarya and you are not top damage (you can soemtimes lose to Ashe), you are not playing right. You should be SHREDDING their team. You are where the extra damage has come from and why healing burst has gone up so if you are not able to do it you are not doing your job.
This ainât true, because you donât even think or give a solution how to do it otherwise. If they balance according to 80% of the player base the game would be broken in GM. In GM, they play the game how it is supposed to be played. In silver/gold/plat people do what they want 90% of the time. And the 10% of the games played they actually play the game how it is suppose to be played you steamroll trough everything.
You canât balance around 80% of the player base because WE DONâT PLAY THE GAME AS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED. Stop being arrogant and naive!
Just DO EEET !
Itâs clear where this game is heading. Why are we still here ?
Because we still hope, that Blizzard will change their mind.
They are catering to biased little children like Samito for a year now. At some point hope becomes nothing more than a futile dogma.

Friendly reminder that they nerfed the edgelord without compensation because the â99%â couldnât handle him. (well not really 99% but I assume a lot are in bronze/silver)
I mean the 99% are the reason the game still got a owl, because those 99% game the game itâs funding.
But hey if people feel disrespected as costumers they can always NOT buy ow2, but they will.
Itâs just what being a fan is - you will be an idiot, that will always buy %company_name% products. Even while you are just useful fool for them.
I kinda feel like I have to say this: Why are you talking about 99%? Iâm not even close to gm and I donât agree with these ideas of balance. I donât feel like blizzard has to make low skill capped heroes be able to compete in all ranks, and there are so many people like me, the 99% that you are talking about doesnât exist, people have different opinions even if they are not high elo. Was goats not a problem either because it was nerfed to the point where only masters and above players could play it but it didnât allow any other comps to be played?
Like 99% of people here would definitely rank up as soon as they learn how to counter or play against heroes they want nerfed.
How do you want the dev team to balance around bad positioning? bad picks? bad timing? bad gamesense? little to no team play? these are all things that players SHOULD work on getting better at, and itâs no fault of balancing that theyâre not.
Balance around the max potential with respect to lower tiers is the only way
Did anyone played QP or Arcade since 2-2-2?
Matchmaking is not present. Having a Silver and a Master or even GM player on the same team is not uncommon.
Now think what happens if we balance letâs say around 2.5k
Everyone below will still complain and everyone above will surely find a hero who they can break.
Now imagine how much fun the QP, Arcade and even Comp will be.
We already say to lower ranks (bronze to mid gold) âgit gudâ if they canât deal with a hero or a comp, so why canât we just say âgit gudâ for everyone?
Itâs a competitive, if you like or not

So, what should do player, if they got those skills, but their teammates do not? Embrace defeat?
Yes - try telling that to a Symm gold one-trick!
I think the fundamental issue is that people donât want to play Overwatch.
They want their version of Overwatch.
Devs have said that Overwatch is meant to be a game where you switch but people donât listen.

OWL needs to die though this game would be so much better if it wasnât focused around esports profit potential, I mean it was pretty mediocre as an esport from the beginning becuase of how blizzard basically tried to force it to become one, They should take a new stance on how they want to go forward with Overwatch2, but it will most likely end the same as what we have now.
It also meant to be team gameâŚwith 5 strangers called âyour teamâ. Sounds good, doesnât work.
Climb
If you are better than your teammates you climb
How do you see that? Defeat is shared.
Well I like it
Warts and all
oh no no no
