Worst of all time

This is easily the worst the game has been since I started playing it 3-4 years ago… I’m sure it’s fun for others, but to me, it’s by far the worst. This is the least fun the game has ever been for so many reasons…

The balancing is so, so, so, bad. The current balance team just seems like people who either never, ever play the game, or that really only play a few heroes and don 't even know much about those heroes…

In my matches, Sombra is in literally EVERY match. Every match is ruined in some way by a pitifully stupid decision the devs have made…

That’s fair… I think just the fact that S11 is SO, SO, SO much like S10 is what is making this so bad.

Literally, I face Doom/Sombra/Venture over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over…

That’s the thing, if I want to play OW2, I simply don’t get to play the heroes I want to play anymore. The devs have made the game HardCounterWatch, so you either be a good little Blizzard Slave and play the hero they mandate you to play, or you get just ANNIHILATED.

They devs are SO, SO, SO, SO careful to give some heroes really rounded kits… A mix of damage/survivability/utility… and then other heroes, they JUST DON’T GIVE A **** about.

The amount of mobility creep that’s occurred has just left the slower heroes nothing but niche heroes. If you’re slow, you only get to play occasionally. If you’re fast, you can main your hero and have fun.

Holy crap, the buffs to Sojourn over and over and over… She’s fast, high damage, short cooldowns, major burst damage, she blinds your whole team with her kit, she has a slowing ability, she has EVERYTHING… Imagine if they gave Ashe a SINGLE buff of some kind. HOLY CRAP, 10s Coach Gun CD??? 10 SECONDS??? It doesn’t even knockback Tanks anymore??? Oh, BOB gets hacked and nullified now EVERY TIME YOU USE HIM??

BUT WHAT ABOUT POOOOOOOR SOJOURN???

Reaper, who I don’t play, has gotten the same treatment (bad treatment) but at LEAST he was MENTIONED in the patch notes…

Devs are hero biased, which means they are player biased… So certain players enjoy the game and the others are worthless, meaningless trash who’s game experience doesn’t matter.

Sombra needs to lose the unlimited invisibility because literally has no downtime and nearly hard to counter especially with no magnetic grenade anymore.

yeah this game is such a mess right now, i miss OW1 tbh it’s bit sad when i think about it

I just hope next hero shooter can pull it off, marathon, marvel rivals or valve game, it’s time for better devs to take that hero shooter market

I’d say spy check with Mei but even her spray was nerfed in range.

I’m always confused by people complaining about sombra, she’s not busted as you make her out to be, unless you’re in lower ranks and you no idea how to deal with her but then again you could say that about a lot of other characters.

I would say skill issue is the problem here, not balancing.

She is not op she is infact worse like mei sym tier

Her kit is powerbudgeted wrongly.

venture is a nightmare

No one said she was busted. If you’re really “always confused by people complaining about Sombra”, you’d know that almost no one claims she is “busted”. But that’d ruin your chance to say “skill issue” and I know that’s what most important to you.

I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. There’s a time limit to be allowed to complain? I was play OW1 for 2 years and then from the beginning of OW2… So I’ve been playing however long that is.

I agree. At first they didn’t bother me, but now that people are learning how to use them, they’re unkillable. I’m seeing Venture’s go 22-0, 18-0, 36-0 constantly, regardless of which team they are on. My biggest problem with Venture’s kit, aside from too much survivability, is how they BLIND you. It’s hard to know what’s even happening on the screen when a Venture is nearby… It feels like the game is lagging hard, but it’s not.

I feel that Sombras getting the drop on long range characters like Ashe, but especially Widow, is pretty much how it has to be. I just wish the counterplay to Sombra felt better. Spychecking feels like an exercise in futility and since OW2 launched, they turned the turret-Sombra interaction on its head; Sombra can hack Torb turret with the only danger being the purple hack lines revealing where she is for a fraction of a second.

I’m a bit loathe to dump yet another gimmick on Sym, but as her teammate I wouldn’t be sorry if her turrets ignored stealth. As for Torb’s baby and Bob, make it so that hacking them unstealths her, like it does for players. The idea being that she needs someone to distract the turret for her so she can hack it, otherwise it’ll fire at her and interrupt the hack.

Almost no one :rofl:

There’s topics complaining her being too strong daily on the forums.

All I see is that I was right about you most likely being in lower ranks and unable to deal with her like you wouldn’t be able to deal with a bunch of other characters.

She’s in all your matches exactly for that reason, people don’t know how to deal with her and it’s not because she’s unbalanced.

I’m not against Sombra getting the drop on longer range heroes, but she doesn’t have to earn it at all. Just zero risk whatsoever, 100% endless invisibility, being allowed to take her time, position literally anywhere, and only appear at the most opportune moment of all moments of her choosing… It’s the most free thing in the game…

And I do agree that Widow is a major problem and that ignoring it is not an option. But dealing with it by giving Sombra perma-stealth is not the only option.

I mean, how hard would it be to give Widow’s rifle a 4s max charge time of 100% before it uncharges? That’s prevent her from being able to just camp-scope sightlines so easily. And how about giving her gun flash, like other games, so you can spot her more easily? There are a ton of options, but permastealth just turns OW into a totally different game for quite a few heroes…

Yeah, I agree, turrets should be able to sniff out Sombra as well. But the devs, instead, keep her kind of overall weak in terms of damage/power, but INSIST on her hard-countering 100 parts of the game, and almost nothing actually countering her… She isn’t that strong, but she makes the game so miserable for certain heroes.

The fact that she just simply cancels half the ults in the game with a CD ability that requires zero skill is so braindead… I only use BOB to hold point anymore bc I know that the moment I use him, he’ll be hacked for all 10s every single time I ever use him.

Bring back OW1.

I agree that temp stealth (probably coupled with a higher stealth movement speed to offset it) would make Sombra feel less unfair, and that Widow needs hard adjustments, but it’s not going to happen in this messed up world we live in. They couldn’t even stick with Widow’s fall-off nerf, they reverted that when they made her gun fire Hanzo arrows instead of boulders.

They seem a bit more open to the idea of countering, though. They buffed Torb turret early in season nine when Tracer was stomping every single rank. So my hope is that they’ll at least go down that route, even if it’s not the best route.
