Who do you want Nerfed and Buffed?

Moira. Just completely rework her.

And maybe nerf Genji slightly.

Other then that its not too bad.

Keyword here being should. Teamwork is a very lofty expectation for Bronze where the dps don’t clear the supports or the high ground, the tank rushes in without their team and gets killed, and the supports get picked off by flankers.

Ana may counter hog in every way, but that isn’t going to help much if the team isn’t able to capitalize on it. At least Kiriko will be a solid pick when she finally releases for ranked.

Mercy and Doom buffs

Dva, Zarya, Hog damage nerfs

Sombra nerf/rebalance

Genji - Nerf
Reaper - Buff
Sombra - Slight Nerf
Lucio - Nerf i really hate this hero

Thank you, you just reinforced my point. In Bronze people have very poor positioning, they have bad aim, bad CD management and no teamwork meaning that Hog is the best hero across all class to play in these ranks.

Once again, Hog thrives on the poor gameplay of his ennemy. You can be the best roadhog out there, if the ennemy team has good positioning and if they just follow up on a nade or a sleep you’re dead.

Not really no, she’s extremely hard to play and I don’t see her being any good for lower elo players, much like Ana for that matter.

I just recently made a topic for some exact changes how I might approaching the nerfs and buffs to heroes I think deserve it. TL:DR ver: Genji and Sombra light nerfs, Zarya mid nerf, Doomfist mid buff, Symmetra small buff.

For nerfs:

  • Ana
  • Zenyatta
  • Sojourn
  • Genji
  • Orisa

And for buffs:

  • Mercy (Short term)
  • Brigitte
  • Kiriko (Small)
  • Bastion (Small)
  • Symmetra (Short term)
  • Reinhardt
  • Junker Queen
  • Hammond

And two reworks:

  • Symmetra
  • Mercy

If it were possible to rank up based on one’s own merits rather than the team’s merits, then Hog wouldn’t need a nerf. Alas, that is not the case. You tier up based on your team’s merits because Overwatch is a team game.

I’m hopeful that Kiriko isn’t another Ana situation where she requires her team to capitalize on whatever she does.

A narrow mind that widens, I changed Doom to a mobility nerf and a tanking buff. I agree.

Added Nerf to DVA.

Again it’s all subjective. As for Doom, in the right hands, he is lethal. In a bad players hand, he’s nothing.

It is possible up to a certain rank. From Bronze to Plat or even Diamond, there is little to no teamwork and the win just goes to whichever team has the best individual players.

Genji (my main) - Nerf
Orisa - Nerf
Zarya - Nerf
Brig - Buff
Cassidy - Nerf the grenade
Sojourn - Big nerf needed, her E is way too strong, I would also nerf her ammo size
Kiriko - I absolutely hate this hero so I’m not gonna say anything since I’m biased
Junker Queen - Nerf damage but buff survivability
D.Va - Nerf amor, it’s like impossible for a hitscan to get through her armor with matrix

She is terribad from bronze to GM. Has been since the 3.0 rework hit, outside those 9 days she was kinda meta but still not even top 3. She is just slightly worse in GM than she is in bronze.

Orisa can melt her from afar, and Dva can get in her face so easily its a joke. Just about the only tank that Sym doesnt get dove into or killed from afar is Reinhardt.

Zarya - bubbles make them too strong and having two of them is to much.

Orisa - half their life is armor and their two defense options are too strong with a gun they never have to reload that does more damage the closer you are to them.

D.Va - Defense Matrix lasts too long, she never has to reload, she can fly, and she even has the chance to run away after ā€œdyingā€ which shouldn’t be a thing.

Sojourn - Kit is too wide with no downsides. They have an automatic rifles, a sniper, a bubble that hurts and slows, and a high jump (jump while sliding). She’s only missing a self heal to give her every type of ability in the game.

Widowmaker - Way to strong in a 5v5 setting where there is only one tank. Charges her shots too fast and if her team is even protecting her a little bit, you will never kill them. If you try to get them, they see you and just focus you. No reason to have buffed her life from 175 to 200 at OW2 since she is insanely broken for anyone with a bit of aiming. If the single tank on your team doesn’t have shields, good luck ever trying to get past a broken Widowmaker.

Genji - No more CC in the game makes him to hard to deal with most of the time. The new passives are a joke and make him even harder to kill or get away from since he gets a speed boost for killing now.

Tracer - abilites come off cooldown way too fast so she just spams her teleports and once they are done they do rewind and hide for a few seconds to do it all over again.
Reaper - Really strong and can run away too easy if they get in the slightest bit of trouble. With only one tank it’s hard to stop them from flanking.

Sombra - being able to stay invisible (with a permanent speed boost) the entire game and being able to hack everyone and everything without breaking it is stupidly overpowered. She does 40% increased damage on anyone she hacks so of course she goes for the healers or Widowmakers.

Reaper - Too hard to stop since there is only one tank now and they can run away too easy when they are caught. New DPS passive just lets them cause more trouble when they get it going. No more CC makes them a nightmare to deal with if their team is good at distracting you.

Kiriko - healing is stronger than Mercy’s with is just crazy. Her teleport is way too strong and lets her warp through walls which is just too much for getting into battles and getting out of them.

Sojourn: Nerf
Genji: Nerf
Junkrat: Buff
Symmetra: Rework/Buff
Roadhog: Rework/Buff
Bastion: Slight buff
Hammond: Slight buff
Torbjorn: Slight buff
Mercy: Slight buff

Actually based reaper take.

That sounds like it could work ngl

I would like to see a few more Cc added to the supports, I think dps are fine without.

McRape and soldier - big nerf

Soujorn, Sombra and Genji all need adjustments IMO.

Doomfist definitely needs a buff of some kind. I feel like his power block just leaves him too vulnerable.

Sym needs some work as well. I don’t play her myself, but I haven’t really seen her succeed anywhere outside of a few KotH maps.

How are you having issues with the worst dps in the game, could I ask what your rank is.

These are exactly the ones I would mention but I would add a small buff to Brig also, either her HP up by 25 or a buff to her ult… Or two charges of whip shot. I even think Ashe might need a little boost but Should wait for other OP dps to be nerfed for this one maybe. Symm right click damage should be higher and her turrets should have a bit more hp or recharge a bit faster
