Thank you for the suggestion, and yes I am a console player. What did you think of the overall post?
It looks pretty good, but if all these changed would be implemented in one patch the whole community would probably go overboard. Maybe change a bit of the value’s and do it in smaller updates.
That way the community can adjust slowly and steadily to such things, but let’s see if others agree with these kind of changes.
Yeah it is very big, my reasoning was that if we get all these changes done in one patch then we can see what works and what doesn’t then go from there.
While I find these very interesting I too think it’s a bit too much to balance out and test in one patch.
I think Widow could use a slight, maybe 0.2/0.3 increse in her loading time to full charge while scoped, but it’s just a thought, I can’t say I thought about this for very long. She just feels too mechanically based and too rewarding for people with good aim but very low game sense.
I agree that if this would be way to much if I was in 1 patch it was just a layout to get the information out effectively. That widow change does seem like a good idea, I like the idea to move Widow to need a little more game sense. Overall, thanks for the feed back.

You want to dumpster Mei and Reaper. Just for good measure make Soldier worse even though he is in a pretty bad spot right now.
Reaper should get nerfed A LOT now that there are only 2 tanks and 4 squishies.
And it’s about time Meis learn to stop just spamming icicles and hitting more randomly than Hanzo and also doing headshots. Everyone complains about Hanzo for this (and I use both him and Mei) so why should she get a pass?
I agree other changes to Mei and Reaper are maybe a bit too much, but they are nonetheless interesting as ideas.
Many of these, even though devs-side probably not all, are really worthy of at least consideration and could incite a very productive discussion.
@WinstonMain I will follow this topic and if I have time I’ll actually elaborate more on my ideas about these.
Yes I do have a lot of pent up frustration toward Mei and Reaper and I admit it has influenced what I put. However, when two of the easiest heroes to pick up and get instant value out off are top meta I think something went wrong. Other than the Cryofreeze breaking I just reverted the GOATS changes given to the heroes. I did not play back then but from what I’ve found they were perfectly fine in lower tiers without being overpowered. To talk about Solider, he is only in a bad place because of al the other DPS being stronger, with barriers being nerfed, and if the other DPS were nerfed than Solider would need some nerf before he runs rampant. I may be wrong though and I appreciate the feedback
