Oh boy, this is gonna be an interesting one. Personally, I would go with Sombra. I think that the ability to just turn off your abilities completely is a frustrating and unfair game mechanic, and I think the game would be better without her. But that’s just me. I’d love to know all of your thoughts.
Pharah. A hero that more or less forces hitscan and enables an awfully boring duo synergy in Pharmercy has gone far too long without some kind of looking into.
That is true. I also feel like a decent Pharah with a Mercy pocket is much harder to deal with in lower ranks, where people might not know the concept of hitscan or have aim good enough to shut her down.
None. Simply because any hero has players who enjoy this hero and they would loose their hero, which can lead to a increased player loss. Especially if you would remove the hero.
I don´t want it to happen to myself, so i have no right to wish it to someone else.
And yes, there are heros i dispise, but as i said, i have no right to wish for something like that.
Widow. Ranged hitscan oneshots outside of ults are just bad game design.
Hanzo.
If given a top 5:
Hanzo
Widow
Pharah
Ball
Sombra
I could think of something for everyone. But honestly a maybe not so small thing that would bring me so much joy is buffing roadhog. I do not play him and I don’t like playing him BUT he frankly got gutted and became the worst tank after his hook nerf because a rework was “on the way” well it’s been a while and he’s been stuck like this.
Some not so small things would be this (obviously with some more tweaks around them because I don’t want a hero to go from broken to useless but I think the current state of these two heroes is actively hurting the game)
a) removing sleep and replacing it with another defensive ability or some movement on a long cooldown (maybe a little rocket pack that could be cool)oh and anti no longer 100% cuts off healing only 50%
b) bap I would nerf almost everything about him except… something idk yet currently he deals a boat load of damage and heals while not dying. He should only excel at one of those things and I’d preferably say not the damage and being immortal
The thing is the player rank or lvl, as you said there might be good aim players who can shut pahramcy fast where others can’t it’s a lvl dependent like something could work on lower ranks while higher ranks you won’t find it , so the question is should we nerf or buff based on highest rank players opinions only or should we count new players to ? it’s something every game struggled with ![]()
Whichever hero counters my main.
Hanzo.
So incredibly sick of him.
Pharah rework coming soon ™
They’re just being extremely quiet about it :l
I wouldn’t change heroes, but rather some ultimates:
Deadeye - replace
Barrage - replace
Primal Rage - replace
Death Blossom - buff/change to be less counterable
Infrasight - buff/change to be more useful
Tac Visor - buff/change to be more useful
Rally - buff/change to be more useful
mei instantly. nothing of value lost
ana, no cap, she legit the main reason why tanks like JQ, hog, doomfist are so unfun to play. either rework her, nerf her harder, or remove her so i can enjoy playing the 3 tanks i mentioned.
Zarya. And remove her.
I’d revert Zarya’s double bubble to OW Classic. It’s ridiculously hard to punish her if she’s feeding. She’s practically encouraged to. Even Orisa can’t out-not-die her.
That is a very positive outlook, and I do appreciate it, but in my opinion, it comes down to the question “Does this hero cause more harm than good in its current state?” and I could name a few heroes that do just that.
I wish everyone playing this game could have fun, but it sadly isn’t the case. I would rather the majority of players have a better experience than the smaller group of people playing that one hero become disappointed. Just my opinion, though.
ana
removal is not required, change anti nade to 50% reduced healing and ill be satisfied
Ana she makes the game worse for everyone completely rework her
Widowmaker 10000%. When a halfway decent Widowmaker is present, she changes how basically every hero plays in a way no other hero does. Ana comes close with Nade, but she still asn’t disruptive as Widowmaker is in games, especially on maps that favor her. She’s also one of the few heroes where her best counter is another Widowmaker which shows how broken she is.
