What will supports look like in Overwatch 2?

we are chatty today (I like it).

silly question: is the feeling in the team devs is serene or with adrenaline in the veins for these days?

Hello, speaking of supports, are you guys planning to keep the small techs on heroes like Moira, Mercy or even Brig on OW2? I’m talking about the fade jumps, the Mercy super jump and the Brig bash jump.

Thank you for responding.

Wish they did, those are fun

So did you talk to the devs about Ana’s Bionade, specifically the AntiHeal aspect?

I know the Brig change is really spicy, but are you up for doubling that spice today?

Kinda feels inevitable that either it gets a nerf, a rework, a few counters, or some sort of passive resistance for tanks.

I mean, with that posts count, it was statistically bound to happen lol

You sure?

and current dps that could become support / tank? :eyes:

Like support from OW1 except they’ll have very smöl (tiny!) hats.

could you give us some insight as to what you’re doing with orisa?

I wonder how they’re going to deal with that. Having Mercy’s active healing become too low pushed a lot of people away from her; it would be at least as disasterous for Bap or Ana.

I’m pretty sure that translates into “no, I won’t discuss dps today.”

Please don’t push him, it’s rude.

Thanks for so much insight, AndyB. Since we’re on the topic of supports, is there any talk of changing current dps heroes to the support role?

This self aggrandizement is very embarrassing and misplaced

Hello I have 1 last question about OW2

The June 22nd update the option to pick your region from the launcher became a pointless feature as we’re now put in our closest region and now people who play alone cannot pick their preferred region (something I used a lot as I preferred to play on NA region)

Is there a chance a feature will be added into OW2 where we can pick which region we want to queue for?

I am not the only one who would like to see the feature returned, I get told by people all the time to “buy a VPN” and I don’t think that is fair.

yes, you’re right :sweat_smile:
but you know, when a hero changes classes … I’m not totally inopportune with the question :rofl: but you’re right :hugs:

On paper, Discord is theoretically weaker with 1 fewer person per team benefiting from the debuff. Thus far in our playtests, Mercy’s Damage Boost hasn’t shown any major issues. That said, there’s still a chance we end up tuning both Discord and Damage Boost down, if we see they’re causing issues in further testing.

When you throw out thousands of ideas just by sheer numbers alone you’ll probably have “right” ideas more often than most.

But the ratio of wrong:right? :laughing:

oh, that’s interesting.

speaking of powerful malus, I think that in addition to Brigitte’s stunning it is impossible not to look for a moment what the immortality field or the biotic granade are like. is their analysis hard? I mean, maybe you are trying some temporal or functional limitations or improvements to review their potential on the battlefield for a moment?

Do you also have a link for all the times you were wrong? just to compare :stuck_out_tongue:

I mean a broken clock is right twice a day.

If someone posts balance opinions at that rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if they get it statistically right from time to time.

Dude just posts common sense stuff and acts like he’s a prophetic God or the devs take notes from him. If he’d shut up about it it’d be way less obnoxious. I don’t post every three seconds about the stuff I’m right about cuz I do not care and it does not matter.
