Just out of curiosity who do you guys feel are the most op heroes that need nerfs right now in the current meta? For me I’d have to say Hanzo, Mcree and Widow need some tweaks especially widow now that tanks have lower hp.

I wouldn’t say he’s the most OP, but I’m very, very sick and tired of seeing cassidy. Way too high a pick-rate this last week or 2. Really unfun to play against with his stupid no-skill grenade and if anything, his fire-rate should be reduced a little.

Ball. Most mobile hero in the game with 1k+ hp and barely any cooldowns. He’s insanely strong after the S3 buff.

I think they should lower his hp
Orisa. She counters most of the fun tanks, and it’s miserable playing into her.

Tanks only have less HP in Open Queue/Arcade/Deathmatch and these modes are far from being a balance priority
They should be. It’s literally 95% of the game modes in the game. The reason people don’t play them is because of how imbalanced they are perceived.

Despite what their mains will say Mccree and Widow both need nerfs. They’re both out of control in high ranks.

Oh Kiriko one trillion %.
Invulnerability + intangible with no trade offs on that CD ? nah B. If the rest of the kit was bad or mid, sure … that would be “ok-ish” (like Baptiste) but with THAT kit?
Nah.
Cass/Widow/Kiriko
Nade needs to be a skill shot. Widow’s scoped shot should be projectile, not hitscan. Suzu should be reworked. Immortality as an ability on cooldown is just dumb.
Not as dumb as being able to rez a tank with the amount of effort it takes to kill one - on a CD. Move rez to mercy ult.

Orisa is definetly the most broken hero in current meta. She’s got such low cooldowns that you simply cycle infinitely. She’s unmovable, resists damage, blocks all projectiles, moves fast, ultimate that is just unavoidable and lastly her spear that should be simply removed.
The spear is very low CD ability that cancels any channeling ultimate and it’s super fast.
Orisa is so easy to use and so stupidly strong she needs nerf #1 top priority. -
Ball could get a slight nerf.

Cassidy that became from high skill sharpshooter to be totaly braindead hero with his easy to use grenade.

In low GM/high Masters, does my buddy want to play Orisa, Rein or Hog? He doesn’t play many tanks confidently. I play Brig Lucio
Mercy, she makes tanks unkillable and still has damage boost and rez, making every fight a 6v5 with minimal input.
No idea why they buffed her in the last patch, she should have gotten a flat nerf and no compensation or anything else. They basically made the pocketing issue worse than before.

Tank its kinda blanced in the sense no hero os insanly op like hog and orisa were last season. For dps i would say one is op but 3 are close being cassady as op and the 3 close are widow think she needs a slight charge nerf tracer purly do to no other flanker being good what so ever out side one tricks and insanly good players and ladtly sojourn shes so close to being in a good spot i think if we lower the rail gun to like 80 damage and give it a 3x head shot multiplier in ult she woudl be in a better spot and support zen if your in a full team ana kiriko bap and mercy are all great but no really op supports just strong i think
People do not play them because they do not want to. Balance is not a high priority for most players as long as nothing is too egregious.

Back in OW1 OQ+Arcade made up a fairly significant amount of player play time. If people are not playing them in OW2, its because they aren’t balanced, not because they don’t like the mode.
For example, CTF queues in OW1 used to be very frequent. Now my friends and I give up after 30 minutes. They completely butchered anyone’s desire to play CTF when everyone was forced to play the lunar new year CTF event without the s3 OQ tank nerfs and every match was just a tryhard team of 3-0-2 with a lucio speed boost to get their wins and leave. It was miserable and queues haven’t been the same since. Even the CTF regulars stopped playing.
They’re ruining it garbage balance. The game modes themselves are not an issue.
Junkrat, Hanzo, Kiriko.
Junkrat: I’ve been saying he’s broken and overpowered since OW1.
Hanzo: It seems that it’s currently the era of Hanzo right now what with him being picked very frequently and me also very frequently getting one shot by him.
Kiriko: Also the era of Kiriko, she’s basically Hanzo with that massive headshot damage strong enough to two shot anyone that isn’t a Tank. It’s like in exchange for no one shot she got no weapon charge time, Teleport and a debuff remover combined with temporary invulnerability.
Due to the era of Hanzo though, the only effective counter seems to be Junkrat, so the devs need to nerf both at the same time imo. I have no idea what the devs were thinking with Kiriko, but she still hasn’t been nerfed either. Maybe she’s the new Junkrat? Since he never ever got nerfed in OW1.
Also, did anyone realize the fact that she’s the first Support character this new team created? and now they’re about to release another one? Scary stuff.
Sleep dart is like the most frustrating thing possible. “Take control away from a player” what a fun tool.
