Widow and Hanzo Favoritism... +more

Mercy or Winston finds a way to ‘unbrainwash’ her tomorrow. Then she’s an OW tank/healer. Ez.

Yea have fun.

I don’t care how far you stretch your weird ideas of changing the entire heroes around to not be what they were written as, that doesn’t make any sense.

That can happen after I see Ana vs widow round two in overwatch 2.

Ok.

I see what’s good for one isn’t good for the other.

Changing some numbers around doesn’t change lore, or literally who that hero is supposed to be…

Are you kidding me?

Torbjörn used to detest omnics, now he’s hanging out with Bastion. Your point doesn’t hold up.

Torbjörn blamed himself for the damage and destruction his own designs caused.

It was logical that the only exception to the damage and destruction, an omnic that went against it’s programming, would click in a certain way with him.

Bastion was already in the game for as long as he was, and we already knew the two of them would come into contact.

The comic showing this interaction was a logical step.

Your point is where?

So, y’all are basically complaining because your lack of ability to counter Widow or Hanzo? Wow.
I’ve seen ridiculous things but this is impressive, Widow is actually one of the most hard heroes to play, even Hanzo due to the amount of Shields, is pretty common to keep seeing Sigma/Orisa or Orisa/Rein to counterplay Widow/Hanzo thanks to their Shields also thanks to that Widow is basically a side DPS and Hanzo only a Shield Breaker than a One Shoot DPS having Mei and Reaper as the preferred DPS in this Meta, Bastion is also one of the most OP Héroes in the Damage Rooster and since the Nerf of Symmetra she has become basically useless if you don’t know how to play her.

To many Hitscans DPS? Baptist has a lot of damage and he’s even able to take down a Pharah/Mercy all by himself.

That you encounter Widowmakers and Hanzos with ability doesn’t mean they need a nerf or rework, the only thing is that they players really know how to use them and that’s a reflection of the amount of time invested with them, actually with Goats and Double Shield they both where unplayable. A well coordinated Dive can take down a Widow/Hanzo without problems.

Want to counter a Widow? Flank her with a Genji or Reaper, Even a Doomfist if you’re good with him don’t try to face a Good Main Widow or Main Hanzo face to face, they will take you down without problems. Use your Gamesense to learn and read the play style of the Enemy Widow/Hanzo.

If you reduce the damage of Widow and Hanzo (High Precision Heroes) then you’ll make them practically useless, in any FPS game the High Precision Weapons or characters do a lot of damage specially with HS, that’s actually the point of needing a really high precision to be able to hit a HS.

Stop complaining and you better start to learn how to counterplay the Heroes you’re complaining.

The meta is Hanzo/Mei… Did you just come out of a cold sleep? The problem is absolutely that Hanzo lacks counterplay. He has far too much “outplay” potential, and by that, I mean just spamming storm arrows, on top of well above average mobility. They should probably tone one of those down if they do not want him being played more than the bad 3/4 of the dps roster combined.

Because Hanzo is supposed to be the Shield Breaker, Spamming Arrows is actually the only way to break the Shields while Mei or Reaper are the ones who are supposed to do the actual damage and help to take down the Tanks, but if you lack of the ability to actually take down and counterplay a Hanzo with a Junkrat, Reaper or another Sniper then is your own fault.

Hanzo has a lot of counterplay if you manage as a DPS to isolate him from any kind of support, maybe taking down the healers or simply as flanking him with Reaper, 2 HS and he’s done.

Even spamming Mei’s Ice is a good way to counterplay Hanzo due to the high damage and precision the Ice makes when you hit the head’s hitbox.

Don’t blame other for your lack of ability.

What the heck, you think Reaper counters Hanzo? No, that is basically one of the main reasons the meta shifted.

I think you play at a level so low that you actually believe what you are saying, so we are done here. Have fun getting shredded by Reaper and blaming yourself… Or whatever.

Sure kid.
Say’s the one with the private profile.

I’ve counterplay Hanzo so many times with Hanzo, Widow and Reaper without problem, you only need to learn to read the play style of the other players, that’s what the Gamesense is actually for.

A Good Hanzo, a good Widow and a good Reaper can actually take down any DPS they want if you know how to use the abilities of each hero. Of course if you have a Hanzo with a God-Like Aim a Reaper will be useless but that’s why you need to know how to play Snipers, so you can actually Counterplay a Hanzo. But I bet you are one of those McCrees, Tanks or Supports that don’t know how to actually play an end up uncovered and dies cuz a random arrow.

Bye, have fun with your mediocrity.

Shush now. They gotta think about what looks good in OWL. “Skilfull characters” going ding ding ding in a hands of a pro so that the audience can get hyped. Deeelicious! Tanks and support? Pfft! Who cares about watching them? Need those sick headshots!

(FYI, I have no idea. I’m just trash talking. Though wouldn’t be surprised if this was the case.)

TLDR: I don’t like to die by widow or hanzo

I don’t like being flashed and be a dead meat without a chance to counterplay!
I suggest to forbid McCrees to go around corners.

I don’t like Junkrats to camp behind doors and one shot me with their combo:
I suggest to remove mines.

I don’t like to Hogs to one shot me with hit melee combo:
I suggest to remove melee from Hog

I don’t like that I play supports like Jjonak but still my teammates die:
I suggest to rename Overwatch to Overcontest and rename the role support to main heroes

I don’t like that some graviton combos give a guarrantee kills.
I suggest to keep only ultis that need skill, except dragonblade because I don’t play genji.

Please vote for me to overthrow that Kaplan noob!

the devs don’t do exactly what I say when changing things, therefor favoritism

-you

Poorly designed? Lol what are you talking about.
This is how snipers work. Have you been in a comma for the last couple decades? This is how snipers in shooter games operate.
And this is ignoring the fact that they crippled Widow early on in OW by removing her ability to quick scope like every other sniper has in other games.

it is favouritism, just not necessarily in favour of them.

e.g. with your bastion example, we all know his balance is bad and for a long time now, and then patch notes come and they decide to help/buff a diff hero that’s much better in balance but wasn’t doing particularly above average like mccree (referring to his fire rate buff). like it’s still favouritism (or prejudice however you want to look at it) and it’s not in favor of bastion.

or another example in double shield meta, sym got nerfs to literally everything except orbs despite how much double shield meta was the pretty much perfect environment for her primary and unnerfed sym was completely a non-issue for over a year prior which also had various meta shifts too, i.e. her prominence was literally due to the meta and not her individual balance (which josh noh provided as the reason for primary nerfs :unamused:) yet the actual heroes that were dominating the meta (reaper, mei, df) even before sym nerfs only start to get something now and not even to the same severity.

if that’s not blatant favouritism/prejudice then it’s incompetence. either way, not a good look.

in fact the history sym balance and bug changes has actually a lot of these instances where “it’s either prejudice or incompetence” tbqh.

My point is they can write their way out of anything. Like you just demonstrated they did.

Here: After being restored, Widow feels guilty for all the bad she did (plus to make up for killing Jerry) and vows to never snipe to kill again. The End. She is a tank/support now with her headshots granting people temp full shields/armour/bubbles/etc. Body shots grant a % of that total those like Brig’s armour packs. Mine heals.

Lol what
