Would you support a return of Orisa 1.0?

[Konstas-1468]

Yeah, I was never quite on board with the extent of her rework:

@Konstas-1468

It’s been brought up in other threads, but needs to be reiterated, in my opinion. The hero was stripped of almost everything she was for five years. She’s retained one of her abilities, her skin and her hitbox. For all intents and purposes, the hero has been erased, which is regretful, because they could have made another skin with a large hitbox, give it Orisa’s new kit (plus one more ability) and we would be beginning Beta with 10 tanks, all the while preserving Orisa for the five masochists who really enjoy playing her. This would’ve been a win/win.

[Crawmerax-21631]

Only for the Illios well memes

[Starlord-22320]

Revert to one of the most boring gameplay? Nah. The current one is really engaging whatever haters say.

[GeneralV-11848]

@Darkspawn-21720

I’d actually almost suggest that both should be a thing, and we could have two orisa options as tanks. Or even a “pick and choose” where you could decide which abilities you wanted, although ofc the balancing of that would be something

@Konstas-1468

Yeah, I was never quite on board with the extent of her rework:

Interesting how your suggestions keeps both of her kits in the game, it is honestly a good solution. Everyone wins.

[emmerrei-2814]

I consider the og Orisa the worst character ever made, the most generic kit ever seen in the world history of videogames, insanely boring, and even contributed at shield watch. The only “fun” ability is just a Zarya ultimate spaghetti code ability copy pasted there. The rework gave reason to exist to this character having an original look to it

[IIkwcII-2105]

I’m probably in a tiny minority when I say this, but Orisa was amongst one of the first heroes I ever played when I first started playing the game.

I actually liked playing her

I wouldn’t mind a revert to her original design. It would of course need to be tweaked.

I do agree that with her current design, if she’s even remotely good everyone hates her. I really miss making cool plays with Halt as well

If she has a shield again, surely all they have to do is nerf Fortify appropriately so it doesn’t feel like to play against?

[Bozobrain-1778]

Yea the original pull before it got nerfed was so fun to use. It’s funny how everything considered boring in ow1 got reworked so poorly in ow2 that now we are begging them to give us back the old versions of orisa and 2cp. How long until we start asking them to bring back Brig 1.0?

[Lindwyrm-1901]

I find it funny, they take out her shield now that is impossible to do double shield comps but keep it at the time it was meta. Useless rework and not so much time later they release Rammatra that is basically og orisa.

[Jaxtaro-1120]

I loved OW1 Orisa. She was a great tank who was ruined because of Sigma, who for some whacked out reason, got to remain essentially unchanged in the conversion.

[Anhur-11767]

@Tentative-1127

But I think grav boop is better.

It was fun for sure. Also completely broken

@GeneralV-11848

and replace Terra with Supercharger.

I think supercharger would just be terrible design. Without the second tank to prevent people from taking angles on the map it is very easy to just break it, or have spaces where it’s unbreakable and it just insta wins the fight. Illaris pylon already has this issue and supercharger is just pylon on steroids.

I feel like we should have fewer destructibles not more but that’s just me

[Shinobi-22373]

i wish everything about her was reverted, except her gun can stay cos ow1 orisa gun spread was bad. The combos u could do with her were so good and fun!

Everything in ow2 is NOT teamplay, Everyone is designed to do their own thing now… everyone just doing their own thing

[Jykten-2915]

No.

Orisa is the tank i played the most in OW1 but Orisa rework is much more dynamic and fresh.

Orisa 1.0 was just a mix of previous abilities. With the Javelin, they created new dynamic and tactics.

Orisa rework is by far one of the best, if not the best, rework in OW history.

[Kobe-13892]

Yes, bring back OG Orisa but with a shield buff. I loved playing her, and now I never play her.

[Bansheebutt-1410]

Orisa is my 6th most played hero and I haven’t played her since Overwatch 2 started. So the short answer is yes.

Her original abilities had more potential with player creativity than her current “Chuck Everything At The Enemy And Never Die” set.

[Zaddy-11494]

Neither iterations of Orisa have been good for the game. If I REALLY had to pick, I think I’d rather choose the original Orisa (possibly just because we’re coming off of an Orisa meta and I’m tired of see this stupid golden horse) but both have been poor designs.

[Balladeer-11731]

OG orisa was way more fun to me. her current kit is so boring

[Tybalt-21180]

I don’t even know what they do from this point, but OW1 Orisa should have been kept and OW2 Orisa should have been an entirely different hero. There was room for both of them in the game. Although I would observe that OW2 Orisa has less fans than OW1 Orisa.

[viggo-22995]

Orisa 1.0 was fun. The only tank that you can shoot behind the shield, and not depending of mate who miss all shoots xDD
You can combo by a halt with roadhog or sigma, and double shield is fun if you like to play sigma

The halt will be to an another hero. But quite freakly, if we want to combine both orisa, it will be : shield, halt, terra, fortify and energy spin (not the javelin spin). And orisa will be good

[GeneralV-11848]

@viggo-22995

if we want to combine both orisa, it will be : shield, halt, terra, fortify and energy spin

I would miss Supercharger, to be honest. I really liked it.

[viggo-22995]

it’s just a mercy boost, the ultimate
