You've Screwed Up Balance for Years, So Here

[MagyTheMage-1534]

i also play a lot of torb, not as mcuh as you but i do, But necesarily his weakness is also the fact that he doesnt have mobility, Thats like, giving hanzo a close range tank busting ability oh wait thats like, giving bastion the ability to fly,

He already has given the throw turret to make up for that, and has great survivability to make up for his stationaryness,

[Nere-2268]

Why did you just make dva worse? What kind of balance is this supposed to be?

I need my lower cooldown far, FAR more than extra 0.5 second distance. She’s not very fast in the air.

Oh wait you just wanted to nerf dva more, gotcha. Stopped reading there. And from the comments, doesn’t seem like there’s any sort of clue here how this game is supposed to be balanced either.

[Neliths-2968]

Glad you’re not a dev.

[BlueLightnin-1888]

Ugh… don’t even get me started on what they did to Hanzo. Here archer archetype hero, have a machine gun.

[OnePunch-11682]

THE GAME ISNT A GAME, ITS TRASH, FIX MATCHMAKING, NEVER PLAYING AGAIN
the game sucks.

[BlueLightnin-1888]

Lol… quality post, friend

Mercy

• New Secondary Fire while Pistol Equipped: Cleansing Shot
  • Projectile which causes the ally hit to be immune from crowd control effects for 2 seconds. Cooldown: 15 Seconds if ally is hit, 5 Seconds if no ally is hit.

Interesting changes indeed. For me I’d prefer the following changes instead for Mercy.

• Mercy
  • Healing buffed to 55hp/s from 50hp/s
  • New Ultimate: Resurrect (Formerly Valkyrie). Mass Resurrect makes a return with LOS, a 30% damage reduction instead of invulnerability, is cancelable, and has a 1.25s cast time.
  • New E-ability: Valkyrie (Formerly Ressurect). Valkyrie is now on a 10 second cooldown, a 6 second duration, and a single 75hp/s beam. Mercy would still be able to utilize flight and have infinite ammo during it’s duration.

Developer Comments: These changes would essentially make Mercy more independent as a healer, while also giving her more agency, engagement, and offer a more rewarding playstyle with her ultimate. Having Valk as an E ability will also allow for more opportunities for skill expression in higher ranks, while also allowing Mercy a more reliable means of escape.

I’m not gonna read all of this but I am gonna go ahead and say no

[Fruitslayer-21286]

So the latest PTR balance changes are ridiculously bad

Yep.

and this is after we’ve spent 18 months seeing this game not balanced to the point people want enforced 2-2-2 since the balance team can’t manage to get the game to a state where that is optimal. Now we see changes that make McCree a murderous hellspawn that kills everything but tanks, while a tank counter (Torbjorn) is nerfed as soon as he even tastes the concept of viable for the first time ever in his existence.

Blizz has actually balanced fairly competently in the last 12 months or so. Well, compared to the first 2 years at least.

Booster duration increased from maximum 2 seconds to 2.5 seconds. Cool down is increased from 5 seconds to 6 seconds.

Neat idea, a nerf in most situations though.

Unless that was the intention? Then bad, very bad OP.

Orisa

Do not touch, she’s finally in a pretty good spot.

Roadhog

• New Trait: Rawhide
  • Attacking Roadhog now only grants 50% of the normal Ultimate Charge granted for attacking other heroes.

I’m weary of reducing one of his glaring weaknesses.

Have him also only gain 50% of the normal ult charge for healing himself and i’m in though.

Winston

• New Secondary Fire: High Voltage
  • Causes Winston’s Primary Fire to do 5% additional damage for each target affected by the Primary Fire. For example, two targets increase the damage by 10%, six targets increase the damage by 30%. Duration: 3 seconds. Cooldown: 15 seconds.

I don’t like this at all. Winston buffs are really not necessary.

• Bob’s Damage p/ Bullet decreased from 14 to 12.
• Bob’s Duration increased from 10 seconds to 14 seconds.

I don’t see a reason to change Ashe but this is a decent little rebalance.

Every 4 seconds, Bob can be caused to charge to a new location by reactivating the Ultimate button at a selected area.

I’d love this tbh.

Mercy

• New Secondary Fire while Pistol Equipped: Cleansing Shot
  • Projectile which causes the ally hit to be immune from crowd control effects for 2 seconds. Cooldown: 15 Seconds if ally is hit, 5 Seconds if no ally is hit.

Something like that has been suggested more times than i count and i do like the idea. Problem is, her kit is already overloaded. So you’d have to take away before you give.

You really don’t need the extra duration. So. Lol.

[Tempest-22844]

You can keep destroying dva rein and zarya all you want but as long as the dps support is weak no dps comp will have enough sustain to dominate

[Fruitslayer-21286]

i’m trying to be nice and upbeat today ok

[Lias-11313]

i’m trying to be nice and upbeat today ok

is that code for gg ez

[TurningDrop-1325]

You say this includes community requests but it seems like you pick random changes out of a hat. Which means they probably were community suggestions since they contain no logic.

[Fruitslayer-21286]

is that code for gg ez

if you’re asking whether that was sneaky mean

yes, yes it was

[Zac-12154]

Jesus the Doomfist one sounds terribad.

Even the one he got a few months back is God awful.

[MightyShoe-1594]

Bastion:
Recon Sight

While in Recon mode, any enemy Bastion looks at directly (in crosshairs) can be seen by his entire team. Pressing “N” calls out that enemy to the team. (Unique Bast sound and comm line says “Widowmaker spotted.” or such.) Effect ends if Bastion fires, transforms, or takes crosshairs off enemy.

[Naz-11562]

I mean, is there upbeat for these changes?

[DrCalixxxNA-1195]

Every 4 seconds, Bob can be caused to charge to a new location by reactivating the Ultimate button at a selected area

This is QoL stuff right here 14 secs probs wouldnt hurt because bob dies quick if focused
