We Need More Pure Dive DPS

As mentioned many times now, what’s stopping that is that Sombra, Genji and Tracer are anemic dive partners, which is exacerbated at lower ranks (that you don’t play in).

If you’re trying to play dive with randos, you do.

Doesn’t make it right, and heroes are adjusted every week to try and balance this.

Nobody??? I wonder if you can fully back up that assumption.

He’s extremely weak in silver/bronze because many of them have horrid gamesense. Some can’t execute his mechanics. And that’s ok, to a point. Genji is an odd one with interesting breakpoints and due to his combos and 3D mobility, one must be extremely careful balancing his numbers. To say nothing of his rabid fanbase. They are effectively (often younger) male Mercy Mains but his numbers, techs, and combos are very different to a hero like Tracer or Sombra. Those two could easily get tuning numbers adjustments that won’t really make a big difference higher up. One-clip is one-clip, and (most of) the tanks are generally pretty tanky.

Likely a misconception or mischaracterization.

I agree here, snipers must die/be removed.

*with the exact same schedule as you, in the exact same ranks

I personally had a fine time in LFG (until, of course, they abandoned OW1 for this pile of what-have-you).

It was an idea. Health regen well out of combat would make life easier across the board. Decent dive players already know where all the health packs are so it’s the difference of waiting 15s to top up the last 10% of your health, or going to Narnia to get that other pack, imo that’s a QoL change but I can also live without it. Was just an idea/offered solution.

It’s not about hitscan vs proj to me. Hanzo and Widow are opposite, as are Genji and Tracer/Sombra. It’s about burst damage values and crits. IMO crits are way too high a multiplier on pretty much every hero.

I’m not asking for that, I’m just saying if a Tracer for example dives a Zen or Ashe, let Tracer have the benefit of the matchup for 90% of cases, in 90% of ranks. Not saying it should be an ez kill or gifted to a silver player, I’m saying give them a slight bit of an easier time because currently she doesn’t get those at that level. Nobody is asking a dive hero to win a 3v1.

So move this dial, or give them less a value for standing there doing nothing but aiming down the battlefield. I find that playstyle boring but can respect others enjoying it. I just want them to enjoy it (or get value from it) a little bit less. I don’t actually want any heroes gutted (but do want Hanzo/Widow/Ana/Zen reworked, probably McAss as well).

Again, I’d argue it takes next to zero talent to Mag Nade or beam down a Genji. Or set a Turret (though I love both Sym and Torb).

This is the worst problem for a lot of issues we discuss on these forums.
