My Symmetra salt post.
Overall the ptr seems rather agreeable. A lot of these changes are necessary, and rebalance quite well.
I do have a gripe with one specific change though.
Why? Symmetra’s primary is already garbage. Reducing its power by 1/5th on armor is insane. Especially when we need counters for goats.
On top of this Torbjorn got that 250 health buff that people have been suggesting continuously for Symm, fixed a bug that got her out of maps but not other bug fixes she needs for teleporter.
Edit: It has…

Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to honor the memory of Brigitte Lindholm, daughter of Torbjorn and Ingrid Lindholm. Taken from us all too early by the clutches of a ravenous tide hellbent on overtaking her.
It has been a long few years of fighting but our sweet shieldmaiden finally succumbed to the endless battering of her body and spirit. It would be a great injustice to not remember her accomplishments as well as her trials and tribulations, so join me in remin…

I made this thread criticizing a Your Overwatch video that was pretty popular I guess.
[Blizzard Messed Up - NEW Overwatch Meta Review]
At 12:23 he unironically calls diamond and even masters level support players average. It’s hard to imagine someone so disconnected from reality that they think a support player who is literally better than 97% of players below them is average. I get what he’s trying to say but wow does it come off as incredibly elitist and smug.
I do generally agree with some of the balance changes they suggest but they go about it in such an annoyi…

Just want to give a big thanks to my current favorite people in game. The random duo who instant locks Main Tank-Support or Support-Support in QPC every match.
I totally get you are doing it in QPC because you like winning, and having those roles in this mode is a huge leg up on the other team, so I’m not saying you’re selfless or anything.
But as one of the “selfish” people who are playing QPC so I can dodge 15 minute queue times(plus rematches are fun too), you guys give the mode some stabi…

These are mine
those two are not comparable in any sense , nerf her.
ana Is the ONLY hero with anti heal and it’s 100% with only one counter in the entire game and that’s zaryas bubbles. having a 50-75 anti heal is still amazingly powerful for a cooldown. Ana’s nade nullifies the main purpose of two slots on your team for 4 seconds which is more than enough time for anyone with half a brain to realize that they can take advantage of that and get a pick. and unlike abilities that block damage none of them are …
mcree requires aim and has lesser mobility BUT NAHHHHHH WIDOW GETS REWARDED 10000X MORE FOR DOING THE SAME SH*T MCCREE DOES AND SHE GETS A SCOPEEEEEE
might just be me but the 4th is suicidal thoughts
This thread isn’t to talk about the balance of any hero but is just a reminder that this game is meant to be accessible to all people which is an absolutely amazing thing , which is another reason why certain heros like old sym , mercy , and Moira should not “require aim” (even tho Moira does) because if you make heros with mechanically forgiving aim you are expanding the player base to people with nerve damage , people who can’t move their hands fingers and arms around easily , and other people…

not here to argue balance lol , I will say this. my opinions on the game have changed a lot since I posted that but I still see ana nade as way too powerful. widow is still a stupid hero In general , and overwatch makes me want die.

I Understand this, and I also really love the game.
yeah I’m addicted. I can’t stop I hate it but I love it. I’ve started playing apex , minecraft and some star wars games but I still am SO ADDICTED to this game it’s absurd. If someone asked me if they should get this game I would say yes 100% because it has entertained me for 5 years and over 2000 hours combined. it blows me away that people say they don’t like or recommend this game BUT THEY’VE PLAYED IT FOR THOUSANDS OF HOURS. like you spent 30-60$ and got thousands of hours of entertainment and you say no?!!?!

You said your mind was changed, then you said your mind was changed again, then you edited the post saying your mind was changed? What side are you on?
To OP: This was my most popular thread for some reason
What do yall think?
I’m worried this will once again increase q times for DPS. Far too harsh nerfs for bap and orisa IMO.
It’s when they butchered orisa and baptiste

EDIT - do you guys think I should make a new topic for the next three or should I just beg for a lvl 3 to post links way far down into the topic now?
Or hope someone edits their old post with my new images?
Im one of those weirdo’s who prefer the look of no-makeup a lot of the time.
I wanted to put my skills to use and show how some of the female heroes would look when at home,
with no makeup on, and their hair not fixed but just plain and loose. I’ll probably do more when I’m bored, but …
This was my most popular topic that wasn’t negative or about balance
My most popular OW-related thread was back when they didn’t “reset” the forums and the forums redesign didn’t kick in. Back then I had hundreds of posts and made some good threads. Then the “reset” happened, my number of posts was back to zero and none of my past threads could be found ever again.
Lost in time, literally I guess.
my most read topics(i had 2 dva topics with the same views, saying the same thing);
Dva rewards bad behaviour, Secondary life. No reload shotguns. Toss and forget bomb.
80% of dva players tend to find themselves shooting at shields, you can bet they would never do that with any other hero.
Theres also a group on gods green earth, that somehow found a game mechanic of absorbing as much poke dmg as they can. Where is a jeff when you need 1?
Hell i bet some take more dmg then reins shield, weve been playing her wrong guys.
And of course dvas find more value in main tanking the…
my most liked comment(im a samito hater);
is this that moron that smurfs us lower ranks? its a no from me.
most replies on a topic(2 people having an argument);
i am not talking about a soft counter like pharah or symmetra, i am talking about a hero that completely nullifies anything and everything that briggite does.
whether that hero would negate specifically her healing or her self peel or any other aspect of her kit i am unsure.
but if briggite is stopping our game from being playable, then maybe it is time?
It seems like no matter what the META is Blizzard always tries to bring DIVE back and please don’t say " Dive is fun and is the best META" Fun and best are a subjective words, what’s the point of adding new heros and creating new METAs when we are always force to play or watch DIVE ? ( Also OWL seems to want Dive full time).
This was it lady and gentlemen
