>>337037507
So this is a troll thread right?
>>337037627
It sure seems like it
>Pharah fine as is
Fuck no nigga, she needs buffs.
Torbs turret also needs a longer lock on time and less range
>>337037762
>She's actually getting nerfs
I've never spotted a SHITTER so fast in my life.
Honestly all are fine as is. If anything, maybe add a 1 second windup to bastion turret mode and take out Mei's RMB
>>337037861
Best POTG.
>>337037507
No ultimate skills game mode
>>337037961
>All are fine as is
You've never played a good Genji then. He's borderline broken, killing at every range and having insane mobility with his lunge in any direction
>>337037627
>>337037649
What parts do you disagree with?
>>337038094
genji is super flimsy though, can't heal himself, and gets shredded by any tank, especially zarya and winston
>>337037507
limit on class types and one player per character
that shit may be in custom game types but make it official on matchmaking
also
>no one ever goes support
>have to go support to make team not lose
everytime
My favorite part of Overwatch is watching people go throught he same knee-jerk wrong opinions that we went rhough in Firefall years ago.
>THE ROOTED TURRET CHARACTER IS OPbecause I am bad
>THE MINI TURRET SHORT RANGE CHARACTER IS SHITbecause I am bad
>THE FLYING ROCKET AoE AND CC CUNT ISN'T THAT GREATbecause I am REALLY bad and haven't realized how strong Pharah is and how badly she'll need a nerf once people work it out
The only character that needs changed at all right now is Zenyatta, nerf that burst damage or add a steeper falloff to it.
Turrets need a complete downgrade. Remove infinite range, instant targeting, and automatic target switching to those that deal it damage. Also make its health less so that there aren't so many classes with no chance on destroying it if the faggot dwarf is just camping near it.
>>337037507
Bastions repair should be disabled while in turret mode. its too overpowered to have him sit there and fully heal because you need to reload for a sec. That of nerf damage in turret mode by 50%
>>337038201
Zenyatta and Symmetra need a buff because they are currently worthless compared to Mercy and Lucio especially since Zen and Sym have 0 mobility
Give me reasons why 40$ is too much for this game.
Can you even do that?
>>337038364
A good symmetra is godly though, those turrets do their work and the teleporter uptime is great.
>>337037507
Nah. Bastion is fine, he just needs a cool down on turrent mode. Mei just needs a slight reduction on how much she heals inside her ice. Literally every other champ is fine. Maybe Pharah could use some buffing - attack speed maybe?
>>337038364
i dont get why sym is a support character.
her only use is the teleporter she souldve been listed as a defense character or scrapped all together
From what Ive played, I think Bastion needs his turret damage reduced, Winston needs to be buffed in everything, and thats mostly it.
>>337038462
TF2 is free
This game was originally going to be free as well
Super shitty balancing
Pharah is slightly fantastic. The key is to not play her like soldier. Jump jets to escape from danger rather than jumping in/around.
>>337038349
If Bastion doesn't move between fights, your sniper should be instagibbing him.
Bastion is purely a Bad Player Punishment King, he honestly probably needs a buff, but he'll never get one because people are refusing to learn how to fight him, instead just deciding he's OP and calling it a day
>B-B-BUT THE REINHART/MERCY BASTION SUPPORT COMBO!
Would work on any other character too, and is a problem with Mercy/Reinhart, not Bastion.
>>337038462
The maps and gamemodes are pretty barebones, don't you think? You can't really deny that and this is coming from a guy that's gonna buy it.
People complaining about bastion are bad. It's really that simple. There's never been an easier way to tell who's shit or not. Seriously, someone complaining about bastion, post your stats. Go on.
>>337038510
>Winston needs to be buffed in everything, and thats mostly it.
You're playing him wrong.
>>337038625
Do we know for certain the open beta maps are the only maps there will be on release?
increase the tick rate so sniping isnt a point and click adventure
Bastion is OP because maps are tiny corridors and Bastion does 100 to 0 in a second, 2 seconds on Reinhardt.
But Pharah takes the cake. Thing is, Pharah's damage is needed to cross the FUCKING KILLBOX OF BASTION AND TORBJORN
The only and only characters you truly need in a team are
Pharah attacking
Reinhardt tank
Lucio healing or Mercy dicksucking the team
Bastion defending
These are THE BEST in their respective classes. Others are kinda fun but not get to THE POINT as these go.
>You can't prove me wrong
>Implying Genji
>>337037507
>Nerfing Bastion
Genji needs a damage buff with his shurikens and blade attack and everyone except the tanks need a movement speed increase. The game play way too sluggishly because of how people move.
>>337038648
Bastion isn't difficult to beat, but the Reinhardt Bastion payload combo needs a fix somehow
>Bastion turret mode
>A problem
That's where I shine more so than ever.
>>337038752
The best way to play him is not at all. He isnt practically untouched for no reason. His gun is like a tickle and punches and ult dont do significant damage either.
>make Bastion not able to shoot through Rheinhardts shield
There I fix'd your problem.
Dedicated servers
>>337038880
Junkrat is great in that situation except for when the Bastion is camped so far back that you can't reach him with your bombs.
>>337038831
>>337038648
>itt bastion players
>>337038864
phara's e
symmetra
>>337038848
>Genji needs a buff
>>337038462
I would be having fun if i didn't ever got to that point in game where you need to cross a tiny corridor and it's filled with random shots of everything and no one can push forward.
The maps are ass.
So I just got tired and mained the much needed Pharah and win all day every day.
>>337037507
>FINE AS IS
>Hanzo
Opinion immediately thrown in the dumpster, called the cops, etc.
>>337038826
a really popular competitive composition is
2 mcree
2 lucio
2 reinhardt
I would say those are the best of their classes.
>>337038826
As much as I want to tell you how much of a cock sucking faggot you are, you are right.
>>337038938
So always
>>337038880
Just pick Pharah.
>>337038938
Then I'll just mine jump over and get killed in mid-air.
>>337038985
Are you implying he's too weak or too strong? If you're about to complain about his ult killing you you're literally retarded. Or deaf
>>337038963
When you're not against a sniper or the specific few classes deflecting does really good against in terms of killing them, his weapons do chip damage for the most part.
>>337037861
My sides
Oh look, another casual complaining about Bastion. He doesn't need to be nerfed, he's already extremely easy to kill.
>>337038504
Because muh anal sex loving Indian waifu
remove autoaim specials
increase movement speed because sniping is piss easy
>>337038985
What's wrong with Hanzo? The only problem he has is that he can't run away from anyone which in exchange has a free area scan.
His damage is high and he can pretty much shoot while keeping check of his surroundings.
>>337038897
He's a hit and run character that distracts the team and picks off support and snipers. There's a reason "competitive" teams use him.
The problem is Blizzard fucked up labeling him a tank. They even nerfed him in the closed beta.
>Either nerf Bastion's turret damage by a third or have him highlighted through walls at all times when he's in turret form.
>Either remove Widowmakers off hand gun or increase Hanzo's rate of fire.
>Don't credit that Dwarf Fucks turret kills to 'game winning play' count. So tired of seeing that boring shit.
>Double Pig Man's hook range.
>Remove loot crates, let us buy the shit we want with ingame points from a point shop.
>>337038795
>the tick rate meme
99% of people don't even know what this means, and it was proven false anyhow.
>>337038752
I hated playing super donkey Kong until I got gud with him, now he's great. I do the Mario all over fuckers. The key is to not treat him like fucking Reinhardt - your job is to jump on supports and snipers and fuck shit up, then jump away.
Reinhardt is my bad but people only know how to play him because he's straight forward. None of the other tanks play like him. Dva and Mankey are about high mobility, disruption, and brief dmg.mitigation. Zarya is about shield timing to amp up dmg then blasting through enemies with R2, and using your E to keep important allies alive. With a good mercy I was basically unkillable one match
>>337037762
>Her damage is going to get nerfed because it's so high
>Shitter wants a buff
>>337038826
and then suddenly junkrat is lobbing gernades across a wall and killing your bastion well he can mine your reinhardt in a shitty place.
>>337038826
>Pharah does anything and is immediately shot out of the air by people who can aim
>Reinhardt gets kited by everyone/ignored while his team dies
>Bastion is dead as soon as you know where he is due to all the characters who counter him
>>337037507
>>Tracer
>Make ultimate have more damage OR more range
>Allow her to throw the ultimate a bit further
It's bait guys, it's bait.
>>337039242
>Jump onto a sniper
>Die because Winston does crap damage
Now what.
>>337037507
>buff to tracer's ultimate: the only offensive ultimate that you cannot avoid and/or disable, because it's character independent and its effectiveness is determined not by possible counters but Tracer's ability
>>337038986
Mcree is fun and in a right spot but think about this
Can he fly and get instant HIGHER GROUND ANAKIN over the enemy team? no
Does he do splash damage from afar? no
Does he get more than 6 shots? nope
Does he needs to aim to do said damage? sadly yes
Pharah is better in (almost) any situation.
The (almost) is a really strange comp that isn't getting the more Pharah's treatment, or you Reinhardt hasn't got his dick sucked yet by Mercy.
>>337038462
Other studios are releasing games with much more effort, content and polish and are releasing them for less money.
Basically $40 is too much because of market competition
>>337038201
Torb & Bastion have been bottom tier a month after closed beta and stayed bottom throughout. Infact they tried buffing them and theyre still horrible.
zarya + mei and bastion + rein trigger the fuck out of me.
>>337039250
pig man's hook range is pretty shitty actually
>>337037507
>Fine as is
>All support classes
I wouldn't mind Lucio getting something more. He's good, but the wall riding isn't particularly useful because all the buildings in the maps have walls that aren't very good for wall riding, it doesn't allow you to get to other places as much as Hanzo or Genji's climb. Not sure what I'd change about it. It just feels like something is missing. Also, his ult seems like less of a game changer than most other ults. I'd give it a bit of an aoe knockback so that it can be used to clear capture points, the payload (particularly of things like bastions or turrets on top of payloads)
Zen's healing feels relatively weak as well, aside from his Ult. I don't get the 10's of thousands of healing that I can get on Lucio or Mercy when I play Zen. Mercy is more likely to save a person from dying. Not that it should be able to prevent dying from focus fire, but prevent death from one person's innaccurate automatic weapons fire or splash damage. Zen's heal is only semi useful for topping off someone that is not currently taking damage, except the ult of course.
I also think that Semmetra's shield is pretty weak, especially when the game considers her a support, but she's not likely to prevent any team members from dying (only able to help get them back to the fight faster with her teleporter)
Mercy is all around solid what you'd expect from a powerful support. Healing that can prevent someone who's even actively taking some damage from dying (but not from multiple sources focus firing), a damage boost that can help classes with automatic fire really rack up kills, great mobility, and a potentially game changing ult.
>Bastion
Remove his ability to self heal while in turret form and give his recongifuration skill a cooldown between switching from mobile to turret form. Perhaps even as short as 5-6 seconds would balance him, forcing him to leave point and hide away to heal up. Agreed on payload change.
>>337039080
>>337039185
The only thing I really think needs to be changed about Hanzo is that his Ult needs to do less damage the more shit it passes through.
Yeah its really obvious when he uses it but when I can't even see any enemies and the dragons suddenly pop up through a wall and chew my face off its a bit bullshit.
>>337039314
NU HUH BUT I AM A MASTER ROCKETEER AND YOU'LL NEVER HIT ME AND IN YOUR SCENARIOS THEY'RE JUST BAD
Perhaps that could be said of all characters.
>>337038364
Mercy is the worst of all current supports.
Widowmakers full power shot needs to charge up slightly faster imo.
>>337039575
>mercy
>bad
Pftahaahaha
>>337039463
Torb's turret is useless and he doesn't do enough to make up for it. Engi's turret in TF2 is terrifying, and he could still fuck your day up with the shotgun.
>>337039265
>>337039265
really because they said they'd be having custom servers with increased tickrates to monitor possible changes....
>>337039575HEAD AND SHOULDERS
>>337037507
The only thing I agree with is that Zarya should have a SLIGHTLY longer sheild. Like maybe .5 seconds. It does seem just a bit too short.
Other than that, all this seems stupid. Bastion is borderline useless in protect modes if he can't turret on moving objects. Increasing Reinhart sheild recharge would make him broken as fuck. Not to mention if you left those you said are fine as is, the buffs you propose (specifically the horseshit you want for D. Va) would decimate heroes like Pharra and 76.
I'm not saying there aren't balance issues, but these are not solutions. They just cause more problems.
>>337039649
I ran into a team if assholes who did 2 torbs and 2 bastions and a widow and a Lucio, they were basically unkillable.
McCree is perfect, get good against him, his stuns last only a seconds literally and take a 10 sec cooldown, his roll also take a 10 sec cooldown. If anyone it's roadhog with his shitty hooks and heal cooldown.
>>337039615
I hate to agree but I will, currently she is pretty bad and is outclassed by hanzo other than her ult is god tier.
>>337039402
I don't know what to tell you if you're dying to snipers, anon. You have a shield for a reason and even with "crap damage" you can easily kill Hanzo, Widow, Mercy, etc before your jump recharges.
>>337037507
>Zenyatta
>fine as is
For the most part yeah, but he desperately needs a health boost so he's not killed by a bodyshot from Widow/Hanzo and a mobility boost. He's one of the slowest characters in the game.
>>337037861
her beard looks lika an ass
it can't be unseen
>>337039575
Your using her wrong. Half the time I encounter people who dont know her side arm exists and abandon their teammates just because mcree snuck behind enemy lines.
>>337038561
>instagibbing
Bastion takes several shots with a sniper rifle to kill. Long enough for him to turn around and wreck the sniper. I've been on both the receiving and giving end of this. It's not very effective. After you kill widowmaker you just heal back up to full without ever leaving point.
Flanking characters at point blank range work better against Bastion, that or splash damage from indirect fire from junkrat or pharah.
>>337037507
>Pharah
make the ult cancelable somehow
>>337039825
I legit thought it was sfm porn of tracers ass before I clicked the webm and it expanded
>>337037507
>NERFS
All horrible. Mei could maaaaaybe use a longer cooldown on the wall, but that's really it. Bastion could use less health perhaps, but it's also not really important.
>BUFFS
Also unneeded, Tracer can already kill almost anyone with her sticky, D.Va is already good enough, and as a Zarya player, I would welcome a shield time increase, but I don't think it's needed after playing so much.
Winston, on the other hand, needs more damage added to either his Ult, or to his main weapon.
>>337037507
I want a QoL for Symmetra that tells me how many shields are up on my teammates.
>>337039242
he's a tank because he has a lot of HP, is hueg liek xbox, and is supposed to harass squishies, thus drawing fire.
>>337039792
Her hook is really useful if you're smart about it in close quarters, but trying to stay scoped and cover your team isn't all that helpful if you're trying to kill many enemies
>>337039762
Literally one half-decent Pharah was all you needed. Lucio's heal isn't strong enough to prevent Pharah from winning that fight unlee he pops the CD, in which case you just fucking wait 3 seconds and then keep going.
Jesus Christ you people can't seriously bee this bad, right? Immobile targets are countered by slow strong projectiles, this is video game 101
>>337038364
The only change Symmetra needs is to not be labeled a Support character.
Symmetra can do WORK. The turrets are only the beginning.
>>337039762
If your team was communicating and working together you could've wrecked them
>>337039647
She heals less than Zenyatta now, her pistol is the worst weapon in the game, her heal range isn't as long as Zenyatta or Lucio.
So basically her only use is the 30% damage buff, even then it's preferable to have a Zenyatta. Also Lucio is a god. Symmetra may be situational but she's far more useful than a Mercy.
>>337037507
NERFS:
Mei
Bastion
Tracer
everyone else is FINE
>>337039869
>Bastion takes several shots with a sniper rifle to kill.
2. He takes 2.
>>337037507
>FINE AS IS:
>All support classes
Zenyatta could use a minor buff
>Hanzo
>Junkrat
>Pharah
>Soldier76
>Roadhog
>Widowmaker
>Winston
Sure
>NERFS:
>Bastion
>Prevent turret mode on moving objects to prevent Reinhardt payload combo
He's really not hard to beat but the payload shit is annoying. Give him a buff to compensate
>Genji
>Increase cool down time on reflect
Maybe on the dash too. Way too mobile and can kill at any range. No need to pick any other attack character. The only counter to Genji is Genji
>McCree
>Slightly increase Fan the Hammer spread OR add more recoil
Eh, he's fine after the first nerf
>Mei
>Add longer cooldown to icebox OR decrease slowdown from freeze gun
Sure
>Reinhardt
>Increase shield regen time
Might make him useless
>Torbjorn
>Add a longer initial build time to turrets
Not really a problem
>BUFFS:
>D. Va
>Decrease massive critical zone on mech
>Slightly increase movement speed while firing OR slightly decrease spread
Just one. Both might make her OP.
>Tracer
>Make ultimate have more damage OR more range
>Allow her to throw the ultimate a bit further
Just one, she can deal enough damage without the ult
>Zarya
>Increase shield time OR make it less noticeable until shot
Don't even know. No one plays her, so she could probably use a buff somewhere
>NEUTRAL:
>Reaper
>Decrease teleport time
>Add a damage ramp-up on his ult OR require aiming for higher damage output
Might make his ult useless
>>337038504
This. She should be considered a defense character rather than a support. If her shield qualifies her as being support then so is fucking Zarya and Torbjorn.
>OP forgets Symmetra even exists
My favorite character and criminally underrated.
>>337037507
They only need to nerf the top 3 champs. Your suggested nerfs are terrible.
HERE is the TIERLIST
>Bastion is almost shit tier
>>337037507
new game mode?
already bored of 6v6 attack defend
>>337039615
I've only ever not killed a full health tank with a headshot at 100% health.
She does not need a faster charge time.
>>337039792
> Hanzo outclasses Widowmaker
You're high. Go to bed.
>>337039906
kill her or hook her, shes a sitting target
>>337039869
>Bastion takes several shots with a sniper rifle to kill
You see that big blue glowy thing that scream I AM A WEAK SPOT SHOOT ME on the turret?
Shoot it and stop being a shitter.
>>337039913
I'd like to see his main wep buffed a bit so I can kill widows faster. Maybe increase dmg on single targets/decrease on multiple. His ukt is fine it's meant for throwing people around not killing
>Nerf bastion
>Buff tracer
Well that shows you are an idiot
>>337039649
Exactly, this is why Torb has always been bottom tier. His primary damage is his pistol. The turret needs to have faster attacks and knockback in order to be useful. As he stands, he's a walking armor thrower.
They need to add symmetrical maps. Like 5 CP in TF2 or a normal koth mode. The current koth sucks.
>>337039250
>let us buy the shit we want with ingame points from a point shop.
You actually get points from the loot crates sometimes and can buy things with them.
>>337040104
I mean when you play as Pharah.
Too many times I have died or wasted the ult on 3 people who died from the first 3-4 rockets
>>337039769
>Get good at countering a hero with a stun that takes 0 effort to aim and is an AoE and lasts long enough to allow McCree to fully fan his revolver to kill almost every class in the game before the stun wears off.
>>337040024
>Zarya ranking that high above Mei
>Zen at the bottom
Oh fuck off.
My biggest problem is roadhog.
Not only is he the tankiest tank that ever tanked, not only does he have an absurdly long stun, he can COMPLETELY FUCKING HEAL if you almost kill him.
If I can play as Reinhart and I can't kill him in less then 6 fucking swings then your character is too tanky. Simple as that.
You know what would be awesome, if they made it so getting a player commendation after a match gave you currency, even just like 1-2
This would make commendations actually do something as well as let you earn currency besides randomly getting it in boxes
But that'll never happen because it would hurt Blizzard's loot box sales
I haven't been following the development of this game too much, but I've played the beta a bit and the game is fun.
do you guys think it's worth $40 or is this going to be like Titanfall where the community is dead within a few months?
Have they announced plans for any new gametypes?
The only nerf Torbjorn needs is to not be able to place a sentry on the payload.
>>337039394
>>337039404
Except for the times where it does literally nothing. It's good for taking out a single enemy and groups on occasion, unlike everyone else's ult which can kill many people across a large range
>>337038985
about the only possible thing I'd look at changing on Hanzo is maybe his hitbox is too big, but I'm not even sure on that. I just seemed to have an easier time head shotting on Hanzo than I do on McRee or Widowmaker, despite Widowmaker having an ADS to help her place shots. Hanzo headshots just as well if not better without the zoom.
>>337040024
>winston that high
wow the fuck
isnt he like the shittest character
>>337040115
>His ukt is fine it's meant for throwing people around not killing
I know, but it seems like as it is he just tosses them off the point only to have them waltz back on and shoot him up. I saw one suggestion saying he could have an alternate fire in hi ult where he punches quickly for damage, so you have to choose between making space or killing.
I don't even play the guy, but he needs a little something, that's for sure.
nerf this op fuck
>>337039963
Literally all of these things are wrong so idk how to respond.
If you lock onto someone, your stream will keep going to them even when they get like double or triple your initial beam distance away, and you can stay on anyone with shift. Her heal blows zenyattas out of the water unless he's ulting and Lucio has to pop an E. Her pistol isn't great, but it's not bad either. It's like dvas but slower firing.
>>337040197
>fat chubby girl that get easily killed by a half-way competive team at range
>a slow walking widowmaker target, that has lucios e as an ultimate
How bad are you, bro?
>>337040320
Every ultimate can do literally nothing, your point?
>>337040260
The whole point of him is that he's dangerous at close range but absolutely worthless beyond that, and his head is fucking massive and easy to aim for
A sniper or even a Soldier or McCree can take care of him pretty easily if he doesn't catch them off guard, Reinhardt isn't good against him though
>>337039551
That's pretty agreeable, actually
>>337038462
player retention and overall player base numbers because I'm in Asia region where multiplayer games die if they're not Dota or LoL
Lacking in game modes
Balance is still questionable in regards to map, characters, and team composition
Needs more polish (destructable environments and items, can't shoot through leaves and twigs but can go through them? better menu and maybe UI? Better leveling system or rewards, improve chat UI)
Multiplayer issues such as server browsers, better matchmaking, improve on netcode just a bit maybe
Threat of going F2P near future with full jewish microtransactions and going to shit with balance once the novelty wears players out
>>337040290
>worth
You can wait a bit for retailers to get keys. It's usually cheaper to get blizz games form them.
>>337040197
>arguing with actual data
Anon, no, YOU are retarded.Zarya is TERRIFYING when played correctly, Mei is only useful for her Ult and punishing players who don't push together once people realize "Oh, they have a Mei, time to swap off flankers and go hard down the middle to punish them for their dead slot". Zenyatta needs buffs to his support (and nerfs to his personal damage), though.
>>337040405
If you had gone behind him, he would have been fucked.
>>337037961
>Take out Mei's RMB
Aiming her RMB is literally the only challenging thing about the character.
Maybe instead of removing it outright, give it a longer charge-up? That way it'll be harder/impossible to use against frozen people, and instead will rely upon trying to figure out which way the person will go when they thaw.
>>337040319
>The only nerf Torbjorn needs is to not be able to place a sentry on the payload.
What's the difference than putting it ANYWHERE else?
Git fucking gud scrub.
>>337037507
>Tracer
>Make ultimate have more damage OR more range
>Allow her to throw the ultimate a bit further
Are you literally retarded, OP?
>>337037507
Buffs
>Pharah
Allow her to cancel her ult by pressing Q
>Torbjorn
Turret feels weak, up the damage, the fire rate, or make it track targets better.
>Mercy
Currently outclassed by Lucio, buff her single target heal or self heal somehow.
>Junkrat
Make total mayhem spread grenades over a larger area upon death, I didn't even realize he had this ability until several hours into the game due to how pathetic the area of effect is. Make his ult animation faster, he's already a sitting duck while he's controlling the wheel thing anyway.
>Zarya
Increase duration of shield (at least on allies). Give better indication of when laser is making contact with an enemy. Possible damage increase.
Nerfs
>Lucio
Nerf his self heal
>McCree
Make his flashbang travel slower
>Mei
Longer cooldown to icebox or some kind of delay between casting and invunerability effect
>Genji
Shorten dash range
Fine as is/haven't bothered to learn them:
Everyone else (Bastion isn't that great, D.Va doesn't suck, git gud)

Then stick them you stupid shit.
>WAaah I can't fucking stick an easy to use bomb so I need blizzard to hold my hand on an easy thing.
Shut the fuck up.
>>337040405
why did you TP directly in front of him?
>>337040368
A lot of comp teams play him as a sniper/support hunter, who goes all out with his ult.
Winston needs buffs.
I don't care how. Give him more health or increase the damage from his gun.
>>337040110
>>337040003
I've never been 2 shot by widow as Bastion in Turret mode. It's always taken at least 4 shots.. if they get that many off.
>>337040474
>If you had gone behind him, you would've gotten one shot off and then been killed by Bastion's superior DPS
>>337039913
>Also unneeded, Tracer can already kill almost anyone with her sticky
Bullshit. It doesn't ever kill tanks. Never tried on bastion, so not sure about him.
>>337040664
I can assure you I've done it with two, and I am a terrible widowmaker. Full charge, aim for the head.
Bastion's turret damage needs to be reduced or having his recoil be much more hard to manage. People in this thread are going to say "NO HES ACTUALLY FINE IT DOESNT MATTER HE DIES REALLY EASY" and the issue isn't that he dies really easy, it's that he kills your entire team before he dies. Bad players excel with him, and good players are unstoppable with him. Combined with a pocket mercy he's the strongest character in the game.
Symmetra is pretty good but she needs some love. She's the only character who's effectiveness can be negated by ignoring her. I think in general her teleporter should be a buildable that's always available to her, and her ult should be something else entirely, maybe something that lets her machine gun her fully charged right click. Her left click needs more range or more damage, and less "spin up".
Reinhardt is one of the dumbest characters in the game. There's no reason that his melee should knock you around, other than lol aesthetic reasons. He needs to have less health as well, his shield needs to have a longer recharge, and his ult needs to have less range. Dying to a Reinhardt is frustrating as hell, because every single time you die to a Reinhardt it's at the hands of a terrible HUEHUE or ching chong who's doing nothing but W+M1 while waving his mouse around wildly. Zero skill required to play that character.
Zenyatta needs a flat health increase. He has zero mobility and right now a fully charged bodyshot from HONHONHONBAGUETTE will one shot him.
Soldier 76 needs a damage reduction. CoDbabby's need to leave.
Mei's E needs a longer cooldown.
Tracer's rewind should be her ult, and her pulse bomb be her E. Give the ult less charge so you can use it more often, and the pulse bomb less damage and range to compensate. Another retarded character, punctuated by being super good and waifu bait.
Winston needs, something. idk how to fix him. Also needs a gorrilion dollars skin, and a gorrila warfare skin.
>>337037861

Dude, I've gotten multiple potgs with that shit by getting at least triple kills. Get good, faggo.

>>337040727
I've seen it wipe out 4 people, git gud
>>337037507
why is zayra so average
why do the shields last literally 1 second with a 8 second cooldown
Bastion currently needs his shield back. As it stands he's the worst character in the game and has been for the longest time. More than half the characters are hard counters to him including all DPS characters, all tank characters and even most supports.
Torbjorns turret doesn't really have a use on the battlefield other than to confirm kills that your pub team is too dumb to kill. His pistol is far more effective in the battlefield than his primary skill.
Pre-patch Roadhog use to be able to pull Reinhardt if they hit the middle of his shield. Bring that back, as it stands Reinhardt is the best tank in the game.
McCree can currently dish out over 600 damage from just right clicking and he has an invincibility frame dash to boot if you see him. He's scary as hell and does more damage than any other character in the game. Think of it this way, he's a mobile bastion turret with his pistol.
Lucio outperforms every single support in the game. He outheals everyone, he gives game changing speedboosts, his right click is extremely deadly depending on the map. He is just way too good.
Symmetra needs her 50 shield back
Roadhog needs the bug where you can melee and shoot at the same time binding them together to be removed. It's been there since launch and it's a quick instant kill for anyone who's not a tank. They also need to fix another bug on him where if you pull a character your gun will shoot to the lower right instead of where you're pointing.
Mercy as it stands is outhealed by Zenyatta & Lucio and is only better than Symmetra if you're on the attackers side. I mean, if you're going to buff Zenyattas heal to do 60 just like her then atleast I dunno, make her pistol useful or have her heal 70-80. Cause as it stands, she's worthless and trash. A Zenyatta headshot with his balls do 180 damage, so her 30% damage increase on 1 character is far less useful than a guy who can heal just as much as Mercy and do massive amounts of damage.
>>337040024
Shit list, Roadhog is one of the best tanks because he counters so many people and the junkrat should be S tier because of all of his utility. McCree isn't nearly that high because he dies in two shots and has no way to counteract that.
>>337040019
People have been using her a lot lately. Holy shit, fuck her.
>Weapon can kill tanks fast as fuck
>laser sentrys are strong as fuck and hard to kill because of their locations
Seriously. She's underrated as fuck. I am going to try her out myself later.
>>337040480
The downside of playing Torbjorn is that you have to set up a choke point and stand still, but you're very dangerous in that area.
Having him be able to place the sentry on a literal moving train guiding it all the way to the end of the map takes that downside away
Maybe they could have him be able to move his sentry like TF2 engineer and rebuild it at level 2 somewhere else to compensante
>>337037507
how do I deal with Mei?
>>337040754
Have you ever thought that this team related game, that teamwork beats bastion? You even admit with a pocket mercy he is strong, but it doesn't work in reverse? No combination of characters can quickly deal with a bastion?
How would you handle this?
Is Lucio the easiest support character to play as? You literally don't have to do anything involved with his heal except AMP IT UP when necessary and maybe popping his ult when fighting for an objective.
I mean I like him design wise since he's basically a JSR character but he's so easy to play.
symmetra needs alot of buffs, i feel like shes the weakest one but can be strong if maybe she could sheild her turrets
>>337040906
Post on the Blizz forums every day until they nerf her.
>>337040894
The deathballs can also go through Reinhardt's shield
>>337037507
This shit is retarded
Only changes I would like to see is more range on Tracers ultimate but with blink it's not that big a deal
I'd also like to see Symmetras portal have more survivability. It's an ultimate but can be 1 shot.
Neither of these are game breaking by any means though. Balance is pretty solid right now.
If you're dying to Bastion you're a straight up baddie
>>337040906
>Mei will never sit on your face
why even live?
>no one ever uses Roadhogs ultimate, no idea why
>start using Roadhog, try his ultimate that fucknig recoil
Holy shit. Why is it so bad.
>>337040754
What's strong about Bastion is not turret mude but Tank mode, there are many easy ways to kill a turret bastion
>>337040902
Every character has their downsides and upsides. Just so happens payload is his upside.
>>337040496
>turrets feel weak,up the damage.
The only way If be ok with this is if the lock on time was longer and the range was decreased
>>337040503
A stick can't kill tanks. It can one shot everyone else, but at that point you might as well shoot them. Using it on a group often doesn't do much to nearby enemies
>>337040959
Seek high ground and shoot down or pick Pharah.
>>337040906

>>337040689
>being this retarded
>not knowing he has a blue crit orb on his ass that allows you to wreck him easily in two shots.
>>337040959
One bastion would be enough to vaporize all their shields because he's balanced.
ok let's just go through this from left to right
genji is fine
mccree needs to not be able to reload while rolling
phara's ult shold last less time, but her charge up time should be reduced to compensate
reapers ult should last less time, but he should be immune to crows control effects
soldier 76's ult seems really dumb but I don't know what to do about it
tracer is fine
bastion should just be fucking removed from the game; this character is cancer and either should be nerfed into uselessness or given a complete overhaul because he's strictly for stomping bads and nothing else
hanzo's arrows should curve if he's moving while firing
junk rat's regular grenades should do more damage and have more range, but his ult should not be able to climb over walls and shit
mei is fine
dorf is fine
widow should either do less body shot damage or have like 50% longer charge up time
dva needs to have much higher accuracy, and I think her ult should have less range but explode faster
reinhardt needs to have a slight increase to the delay on his shield recharge
road hog is fine
winston's shields should have more health
zarya's shields should either last longer or have a shorter cd
lucio is weird, I was thinking about replacing his heal with a damage boost (5-10%) so that he's strictly for offense other than his ult but idk
mercy and symmetra are fine
zenyatta's ult is just all wrong but idk what to change it to
>>337040959
Mei and Symmetra
So am I crazy or do none of the guns in this game have any sort of recoil, aside from Roadhog's Ult?
I thought something was fucky last night when I was messing around on the practice range and realized it.
>>337040906
zarya shield not only removes stacked freeze on you but you can also do this for your teammates and even if she freezes you she can't combo you at 400 health.

Unless you've got an ult to burn, you may as well just AFK if the enemy team has a good bastion

Were they tanks? No. They fucking weren't.

Genji is pretty fucking squishy and the reflect is only useful to save your ass or for idiot Bastion players

then fucking stick and shoot him. Jesus christ, if Tracer is too hard for you maybe you should play Hello Kitty Island.
How many of you are actually going to buy this game?
>>337040943
No combination of teamwork easilly deals with bastion, and at certain map locations he is unstoppable. Like I said if the bastion is good he is unstoppable because he will change his position often and be hard to anticipate, and when you peak a bastion you just die. His damage output is insane considering his mobility.
His ult also charges really fast compared to some others, in addition to being super good as well.
>>337040831
Zarya is currently better than Roadhog.
>>337041146
Switch to zenyatta, discord orb destroys bastion. You can also charge up the right click and pop out and kill him in almost one volley.
>>337041162
the characters themselves aren't hard to kill, but a fully-charged bodyshot will kill some characters and can basically take off 5/6 of most chars health.
That's some bullshit considering how fast your fire.
>>337041292
I am.
>>337038504
her teleporter, her turrets that slow and her infinite range alt fire (even though the travel speed is slow) also the fact that she gives her team an extra 25 recoverable hp.
She's a support, but not in the vain of Mercy in which she can just be slapped on any team comp and call it a day.
I think a lot of rage about Bastion frankly comes from people that are tired of teammates constantly running into one and dying horribly in pub matches.
Yes he can be outplayed with teamwork, but you don't get teamwork in 90% of pub matches. You get vaguely directed chaos that occasionally manages to work itself out.

You just described 90% of the complaints on /v/. /v/ are the pubfaggots.
>>337040739
If you're talking about the blue cube that glows, that's BEHIND him.
I guess, but if you're going to do that, any flanking character works, and probably better. I usually do it with Tracer because of her high mobility and ability to bail in the event that he turns around.

>>337041478
with that many shields pharah isn't a good counterpick. Ironically I actually ran into an all-reinhardt meme team. Literally 2 bastions took out all their shields.
Neither Bastion or Torb should be able to put turrets on the payload
There's nothing more bullshit than MOLTEN CORRRRE right before the final point on payload
>>337040852
I forgot to mention, McCree is the only true hard counter to Reinhardt currently. He can literally walk up to you, stun grenade and right click. Bam you're dead and there's nothing you can do about it. If Reinhardt tries to dash you, you have a dash yourself fully invincible from getting hit.
>>337037507
>fine as is:
>widowmaker
I take it you can't aim for shit, right?
Because I can aim and widowmaker is not okay. Semi auto sniper rifle with so many bullet, so much damage on such a quickly charged shot and a mothafuckingwallhack is not okay.
>>337040959
1 mei, 3 symmetras, a junkrat and a lucio. Just put the turrets up high where reindhardt can't hit them and keep mei on them to harrass. Lucio keeps everyone healed and junkrat dishes out the raw damage where the turrets can't.
Widowmaker is easily the best hero in the game with the best ultimate that also charges super fast and has no counter except for another Widowmaker. Also she can fire really fast for some reason, has amazing mobility, and has a quick charge time for her shots that may as well not even be there.
>>337039082
Genji really is fine.
Yeah, he can't really do anything to tanks, but that's how he's built. Most characters are pretty fragile in which a Left click, right click and blade dash can easily handle.
>>337041573
>Senpai the Hammer
>>337041204
I'm not going to trust a bunch of hackers to make a tier list.
>>337041595
>if you get close to her she is kinda boned
beyond false
just look at the DPS on her default left click
its a 30 round mag with 10 rounds per second and each round dealing 13 damage with no falloff
she has a lower TTK at close range than most assassin type characters do
>>337041204
That's an outdated list anon. This is pre-Zenyatta buff. Now he's more useful than Mercy.
>>337041631
Get close and murder her. It's not hard
>>337037507
>Roadhog
>fine as is
His pull needs a nerf because it can do an instant kill to half the heroes when paired with a follow-up attack that has literally zero delay and can't be escaped from.
>>337041595
No she's not. Her assault rifle has an absolutely amazing dps at close range. When you combine it with a poison trap you can destroy any genji or tracer or whatever little faggot tries to come for ya.

If Bastion ever gets nerfed (which he doesn't need to be), the only nerfs he should receive is either fall off damage on his turret mode OR a rev up time.
Any other nerfs would make him shit tier
>>337041695
>implying you're ever hitting all your full auto shots

Oh yeah, he's so OP with his shitty health, useless bubble shield, pathetic ult, and gun that fucking tickles people. He is by far the most useless character.
>>337041745
He gets one comboed by a good McCreew with a rightclick-shift-E-Rightclick

There are more than two tiers, Anon

15 of the 21 characters are hard counters to Bastion.
>>337041815

Its a perfectly acceptable answer.
Who is the best character and why is it Widowmaker?

>>337041739
>I play against shit widows
No. First off "getting close" is not thing. You don't just "get close". This is a fucking sniper. You die before you get close. Especially when he had a semi auto fast charged sniper rifle with a WALLHACK so you can't really flank her.
Even if you do she still has her assault rifle which actually deals a lot of damage if you can fucking aim. And she has an escape too.
>>337041874
No he doesn't, he's high tier currently.
>Zenyatta
>Fine
He needs some fucking buffs pronto
What is this symbol?
>>337041815
The game is entirely based around counter picking, you are a fucking idiot. And it's not 1-2 heroes, loads can deal with him.
Widowmaker
Junkrat
Tracer
Reaper
Pharra
Roadhog
>>337041739
see
>>337041695
every hero that would be a threat to her in close range actually loses to her in close range
200 HP coulped with the ability to deal 200+ damage in 1.6 seconds is to much for most squishy, mobile, high damage characters to deal with
>>337041867
the spread is actually very low
I can probably maintain about a 80% to 90% accuracy vs. genjis that try to get in on me. Tracer might be a bit of an issue but the 150 health means that its ok to miss a few more and you still come out on top almost every fight
she is the best hero in the game
there is a reason that in the meme "competitive" games they always have a minimum of 2 of her on defense and 1 on offence just to counter the ones on defense
>>337040320
It's suppose to be an easy and safe way of killing their Mercy, Reinhardt/Bastion double trouble, or whatever.

Shes the main healer. Deal with it.
>>337041826
>not shoving the big long simian dong up widow's mouth
>>337041880
The problem is you are playing him as a front line tank when he is really an assassin. Jump on top of anyone that is not a bastion or tank and watch as they can do nothing against you. He is literally the hardest counter to widow maker because he can jump up to any of her spots and takes like 4 full charged shots to kill without counting his shield.

Connection problem
Don't want to start a new thread, so I'm asking here.
If you aren't buying Overwatch, how much would you pay? It's $20 max for me. I feel like the game itself costs 20 bucks and all the cosmetic shit another 20 bucks.
Post best tactics for your main.
>Junkrat
If they are far away try work off the bloodlust and draw then too you. Set trap. Kill. Repeat.
The mine doubles as a displacing grenade of sorts. Works well for crowd clearing.
Learn to use the mine and trap in unconventional ways.
>>337041880
he counters any squishy heroes in the backline, he just jumps straight in and kills them
widowmaker, zenyatta, mercy.
>>337042027
Yeah, healing more than Mercy, one of the fastest ult charges in the game, debuff enemies to do double damage when your headshots (massive non-hit scan balls btw) do 180 damage, so if you debuff a non-tank they're instantly dead. He's the 2nd best support in the game.
>>337037507
this is the we're new to overwatch thread and we think this is overpowered thread.
>>337042062
It's completely unfair with her current set of abilities. A good mercy is never visible or caught off guard and her ult is practically always up so it always completely negates a push. As soon as the entire team dies she'll have her ult back up before they return. At the very least it should bring back people at half or 75% hp or something.
>>337041976
>grapple away
>get destroyed by her whole team
But yeah, Dva is the best suited to deal with widow. It's still a shitty matchup though
Bastion is more likely to get a buff than a nerf and you shitters need to get good
>>337037507
>Winston
>fine
The hell he is. His barrier is complete fucking garbage. It gets 6 seconds of uptime but can't protect against ultimates or altclick moves. It's like tissue paper. Doesn't even heal him. Thing needs to be able to either absorb alot of punishment or have damage within taken within the sphere reduced to zero because it's asinine as it is.
have to wait for the open beta to end and all the kids and f2p to stop playing to get into balance
mercy is a lot stronger in her role as support, all other supports are a lot more offensive, she's the only great healer
likewise Reinhardt is the only real tank, all the other ones are great offensively but are barely tanks
also Reinhardt is a retard magnet, same with mercy, bad players love them
But every hero has pretty clear counters and favorable maps
>>337042062
Zenyatta and Lucio are currently the main healers. She needs a buff.
>>337042110

The pull is too long atm. He can hook a Pharah after her super jump and can reach across the pit on Illios for an instant kill even if he doesn't attack. It's bullshit.

Nah they are bitch boys compared to Mercy.
>>337042281

>mercy is a lot stronger in her role as support, all other supports are a lot more offensive, she's the only great healer

Symmetra's shield used to be at 50 but Blizzard nerfed it to 25. It regens over time but it's incredibly slow which is a decent trade off. Also Symmetra does crap shit damage and needs an offensive push.
>>337037507
Symetra could use some love:
> Turrets can replenish ally shields.
> Turrets boost max shields temporarily, think a slower decay Lucio ult.
> Shield buff range increased.
> Charge shot projectile speed increased.
D.Va needs some too:
> Shorter cooldown on Rocket Boosters.
Winston:
> Lightning Arc gun damage buff.
> Shield Damage absorption increase.
Zenyatta
>Heal rate from Harmony orb increased slightly.
Mercy Nerf:
>Resurrection Charge time increased
>Damage boost reduced slightly.
>Wind-up on resurrection so it can be interrupted.
Roadhog Nerf:
> Hook cooldown increased by 1-2 seconds.
Reaper:
> Teleport happens quicker, near instant.
Bastion:
> Self Repair rate decreased.
> Reload time slightly increased.
> Maximum Ammo reduced to 150.

She is the support with the highest win percentage.
I've yet to lose when I play her on defense or point capture.
The only times I lose with her is when I play offense as her since the first point, but if I change to her mid way after the first point I tend to win.
No real effort required either she is pretty much retard proof once you understand what you should be doing with her mini sentries.

people crying for bastion nerfs weren't there for February 9th bastion hahahahah
Base health increased by 50 armor (now 200 HP/100 Armor)
Configuration: Recon
Minimum weapon spread has been removed
Maximum weapon spread increased by 10%
Weapon spread will now start to recover more quickly
Configuration: Sentry
Transforming from Sentry to Recon decreased from 1 second to 0.5 seconds
Aim restrictions have been removed (Bastion can now aim in 360 degrees)
Weapon spread decreased by 20%
Weapon reload speed decreased from 2.5 seconds to 2 seconds
Bullet damage decreased by 33%
Bastion’s survivability in Sentry Mode has been rebalanced:
Now grants 300 armor
Frontal barrier has been removed
Bastion’s core is now exposed when deployed in Sentry mode, located on its back. All successful attacks to the core will deal triple damage.
Self-Repair:
Now heals 25% of total health per second, instead of a flat value
>>337042527
shoot the ricochet at peoples feet. decimates anything outside of a tank, and still deals ridiculous amounts to tanks.
you can catch people around corners but its pretty unreliable unless they have no health

Widwomaker kills Genji is 1.6 seconds with just basic left click, no prior damage, no venom mines, no team chip damage, no bodyshot damage
Genji kills Widowmaker in 2.5 seconds at minimum by landing his dash and then getting 100% accuracy with the two followup up basic left clicks
fight is very much in Widow's favor and just because you killed a few bad ones that can't aim it doesn't mean shit
>junkrat
just hold left click, use your concussion mine if you get in trouble. get free kills because shit netcode means people get snagged on mines they were nowhere near.
>roadhog
shift, left click, instantly kill anything below 300 hp. no one thinks "wow that roadhog is such a good player", everyone thinks, "jesus christ does this scrub really need that crutch?"
>widowmaker
instantly kill just about anything.... with bodyshots. not headshots. bodyshots. what the fuck? and like junkrat shit netcode means she gets fed tons of kills she doesn't deserve.
>reinhardt
lol shield xDDDD
those 4 characters are why i'm not interested in buying the game. they just aren't fun to play against, period.
I kind of feel like Defenders have too fast a respawn when it comes to the final point on assault maps, or at least the russian map and hanamura. Maybe it's just because I had bad teams, but it seems like the enemy can reinforce so fast after being killed unless you team wipe. Respawn is fine for first point.
>>337038826
Pharah is fucking fine as she is
>>337042764
>they just aren't fun to play against, period.

get rid of any autolock attacks. I know they're in the game because Blizdrones can't into PC FPS, but it just makes the skill ceiling that much lower.I know a female blizdrone that's literally playing the PC version with a 360 controller.
>>337042797
Thats because they spawn right next to the point.
>>337042393
I don't have a problem with him coutering Pharrah, he's the best counter to her, otherwise she's pretty hard to disable when she ults, she does amazing damage so she has to have a downside to using it
The pit thing is more about the map than about the character
>>337041061
he can just look up with his barrier.
>>337042764
You must be awful you honestly have trouble with any of these characters
>>337042236
Too bad all that is moot when any competent player with any champ can oneshot him as soon as he pops his head out
>>337042236
>healing more than Mercy
I've never seen that happen, either playing as him or someone else playing as him on my team or even the other team. Lucio can obviously outheal either because it's teamwide if they're in range, but Zen's seems like Lucio's un-amped healing song, but on one target. It's pretty weak. I think I've broken 5k healing on Zen all of like, twice, and that was largely due to ulting several times. (which is just like Lucio's amp when it comes down to it)
The only advantage over Mercy I've seen is that he can fire and forget his heal and debuff.. and then turn around and burst someone with a charged shot without swapping weapons.
>>337042504
Lucio relies on LOS and aim a lot more, can't keep up with a mobile hero like pharah who's flying or winston jumping in and around
His ult is good but that's why most people prefer him
Mercy has better mobility and can get to the heroes who need healing easier, and can keep constant healing on them
and a non shit mercy will know when to damage or heal, damage buff on a junk-rat or pharah is a lot better then lucio
Zen is good but easy to pick off, the orb is more difficult to switch around to who needs it; he's usefull because his attack is very good and his debuff is strong
The best team would have a mercy and one other support, or a lucio for a team that has better self healing like roadhog or bastion or 76
Whats the most cancelled ult and why is it JUSTICE RAI-AAAUGH?

also, doesn't anyone see fucking traps? i've had so many people just walk right into them.
ult kinda sucks that it has hp, so i gotta hit them on a blind side or ult should just explode when hp hits 0
>>337042827
I actually agree with him on Widow and Junkrat
the other two are very benign and are pretty fun in almost any environment
Widow just controls the crazy stupid chokes in the game too well and junkrat just spams without having to maintain any accuracy while being very very hard to actually challenge due to trap and mine covering any other possible entrance to his location.

I haven't tried him alot of payload missions desu. I love running ahead and disrupting a team as they attempt to hold or gain an objective because you got hot monkey dick coming at you and he's not going to let up. Winston ruins Support Character's days and I love it. But I feel like I'm always alone if I'm trying to get a payload pushed. Like the team relies on me to run ahead but they won't push the fucking thing themselves. Just waiting to see me get gangbanged behind enemy lines.
Once the payload is moving continuing on as Winston is risky business. I find he isn't applicable in Objective B or Hollywood nor Objective B of Volskaya Industries. Dude freaking shines in Ilios and I have yet to try Nepal. I a certain part of the equation relies is on the soldier of teammates. But alot of it is the fault of the player. I need to git gud and maybe even retreat once in a while. It's just hard to apply pressure when his barrier is ass.
>>337040320

>>337042504
>Zenyatta heals the same amount at longer range
Stop shitposting. This is wrong. Mercy heals at 50 health per second while Zen heals at 30. The extra range barely matters due to Zen needing to be in constant LOS, which is a big deal considering how slow his heal is.
>>337042728
What if in those 1.6 seconds Genji reflected at least one burst of fire from her? Even with godlike reaction you are bound to get shot back in the face before stopping, and if you wait it out he will just shuriken you
>>337041080
soldier's ult is "put a crosshair on someone and kill them" for like 10 seconds or so. it's a TPK. no recoil and a bigger hit box on your screen, basically.
>>337042992

>>337042019

>>337040024
>>337042184
That fact that the fucker takes an hour to kill regardless of who is shooting him on top of being able to 100-0 anyone in a combo outside of Reinhardt is retarded. Add the fact that his hook can actually clip through walls and hit you, it makes for a pretty frustrating encounter.
>>337042891
Well yeah I realize that, the respawn is understandable when they have to go to 1st point, but on 2nd point proximity to the point and same respawn rate can make it a pain in the ass sometimes. Of course I realize defenders are supposed to have an advantage on the last point, but perhaps they have too much of an advantage. Hanamura is especially a bitch to cap with the way the point is set up.
>>337043114
>what if he reflected
then she stops shooting, reloads, and drops a venom mine at this feat instantly winning the fight while maybe taking 2 shots from herself
Genji cannot win unless everything goes absolutely perfectly for him vs. any competent widow
>>337041112
either your crosshair spreads out or you have actual recoil a'la McCree's spray
>>337042509
See I disagree on Symmetra's damage. At close range her damage is really high she melts tanks and Bastion if she flanks him. Only change I'd make to Symmetra offensively is to make her charge shot not fire off automatically. It's so slow moving that you really want to be able to hold it for the right time to get use out of it. I don't think I've ever been hit by a symmetra charge shot or been able to hit anyone with it either. It's slow, and the timing on it makes it to where you need precognition to be able to charge it, aim it, and manage for someone to walk into it around a corner.
Zen's charged shot is pretty much instant once it goes off so it's deadly.
>>337040959
Bastion with a Mercy damage buff. Bastion is a direct counter to Rein
>>337043220
>on top of being able to 100-0 anyone
You mean like any other character damage dealing character in the game?
>>337037507
>increase cooldown on reflect
Go fuck yourself bet you're a bastion/mcreeshitter you fucking cunt
>>337041146
you could also literally point your crosshair at bastion as Genji and press E when he starts to fire.
>>337037507
Zenyatta either needs more health or longer lasting orbs. Requiring LOS with 150 health is ridiculous
>>337043053
I had a match earlier where every time the enemy McRee said HIGH NOON everyone just bolted behind walls, poor guy I don't think he even got a single ult kill.
>>337043258
A good genji will get 1 good burst of shuriken on her while she is busy aiming at his team before she has time to react, and when she does react she will get shot again by her own bullets, will try to use trap, genji will dash over it and shuriken her again

This
guess they called her support just because she gives free shield and the teleporter
>>337043081
the barrier isn't great but you barely need it, it only buys you like your enemies' reation time + 1 or 2 seconds
like you can get behind a reinhardt very easily, and harass him and circle strafe; if he turns your team gets an opening
because you dont have to aim the thing you can be a lot more mobile and never drop damage on most heroes
and it clears symetras turrets in a fraction of a second
you can shift in, do what you can for a few seconds with your gun and shield up, ult when you're taking damage, then go bananas and just disrupt
Zenyatta either needs a mobility buff or an hp buff. He is the squishiest of the heal supports at only 150 hp so he gets 1 shot by widow while also being the least mobile. I personally think he needs a mobility buff.
>>337043586

Fuck you shitter
please for the love of god give Roadhog 6 shoots, it's so fucking frustrating knowing that outside of a hook it'll be next to impossible to kill anythingI'm also fucking sick of every D.Va bumrushing me and there's nothing I can do because I physically don't have the damage to kill her

>implying he snuck by her whole team without taking any damage
>implying the widow is shit enough to not stop firing the instant genji starts to reflect
like I said
everything has to go perfect for Genji for him to even have a chance
>>337042590
You know what else sucks dick about Indian tech support? Enemies can use their movement to get out of her weapon's range. I've had McCree's roll away and shoot me dead more times than I can count. Widowmaker can Spider-Man away, Pharah will either look at Symmetra funny and kill or just rocket away, Genji just zips around and out of my range...god it's terrible.
>>337043297
I just don't like people being able to get away. It does negligible damage even up close. I've attacked a D.Va only to be killed by her and on the kill-cam I'm only shaving off ten's of damage. Widowmaker at a base 200hp doesn't go down quick enough either. I've had Bastion's turn around and shoot my ass dead. The damage isn't awesome and people can elude it. I hate it so much. I wish it got stronger over time. Taking more and more damage the longer it's on an enemy. I originally thought that's what it did. Guess I was wrong.
I'd change her M2 to a charge shot that's held as well. That'd help her out significantly. Lobbing slow moving balls of fuck isn't going to do much unless an enemy is in a corridor. And even then it needs to be charged all the way up to deal significant damage.

>TF2 is free

>>337043667
I agree, he can be very powerful given the situation, but in some situations he'll just get destroyed. I really like Zen, but I don't pick him a lot because I'm not sure how the match will go.
>>337042091
You can jump Bastions pretty easily as Winston too, though, land right on them for the extra damage, throw the shield right on top and jump out and zap him while circle strafing and bhopping, even without hitting the weakpoint he still dies before your jump charges back up and is usually too surprised to mow you down
Widowmakers secondary is way too powerful
>>337038557
>This game was originally going to be free as well
If you can provide ONE official source saying this, I'll buy 5 people in this thread overwatch
>>337041292

>>337043671
Maybe I'm just a shitter, but I feel her ult needs to have a slightly larger or a slightly shorter fuse. Yeah I know 'git gud' if I miss the sticky but I think there should be a slight margin of error especially considering how forgiving a lot of other ults and abilities can be. Maybe up the aoe and lower the damage for a non sticky but keep it as is on stuck targets?
>>337043817
It does ramp up in damage the longer it's locked on. It's basically autoaim once you've got it locked on. they can't strafe or maneuver around you out of it.
>>337043836
there's a lot of counterstrike players and tf2 players having a hard time with it
they think they're good going in but barely grasp the mechanics
like someone kept saying over voip when they had someone lit, widowmakers on attack that dont set foot in the objective the whole game, mercies that will ONLY heal the reinhardt, often when he's full, reinhardts that don't charge or melee; won't push in

>shift in, shield up, then go bananas
I learned that trick. I love it. Wish it did more damage though. But if enemies are dying then they're not paying attention to Winston so maybe it's good as is.
>>337044096
Oh god it does damage over time? I need to re-evaluate Symmetra. I've found you can't expect to take her everywhere so I also need to pick and choose which maps are safe.

Holy shit you people are terrible at FPS games.
>>337040963
He's the most offensive support character, with great mobility and high damage output since you shoot semi-fast, far reaching bursts.
He's one of the most situational characteres in the game and becomes a serious threat if he's allowed to dance around the map while keeping every hero in his vicinity healed up. There's a reason the in-game tips says that he should always be considered a vital target.
>>337044235
From what I understand from that gamespot documentary series on Overwatch actually very little of the characters, assets etc. made it over from the titan project.

Yeah, you have to click and hold down on it. You were just repeatedly clicking weren't you?
>>337043662
i play her really offensively most of the time
like her rmb can zone pretty well against a reinhardt or bastion or tjorbjorn turret, just area control
and her teleporter like completely is overpowered when the enemy team can't get it, makes killing attacks almost useless when they're right back, harder to hold out
and you can get crafty with her turrets and put them all over a control point, they are great against almost anything except a reaper or winston or pharah
like defending a in kings row is a joke with symetra, just put a tp on the health spawn under the statue, put 6 turrets on either side of the wall, spam rmb so it feels like you're doing something

He's the 2nd best support in the game. Lucio is beyond overpowered. He's not only the best support, he's the best character in the game.

>teleporter under the statute
Dude. Thank you.
>>337037507
What the game needs is an "Enemy here!" command/ping which puts an icon on the map where you are aiming, which everyone on your team can see. Like MGO 2's "Enemy Sighted!". I feel this would be enough to fuck turrets/Bastions over. As well as help teamplay.
Seriously the default command presets are pretty shit.
>>337044787
>gets bodyshot
>dies
ftfy
>>337037507
are you me nice. only preblem i have with jukrat is the fucking bombs he drops when killed
>>337044581
Good Widowmakers make Zenyatta sad
I enjoy the people that actually think this game is "Press Q to win" cause that just means I can shit on them with McCree's flashbang
>>337037507
ITT peasants with less than 10 hours game time think they have an opinion on balance.
>Reinhardt tries pushing alone
>Run straight through his shield and go behind him so he either has to let me kill him or turn around and let the rest of my team make him a pincushion
Why do people even try this? I have to assume they don't realize players can walk right through the shield
>>337044787
Why would you walk out infront of snipers? There's a reason why he's so slow anon. The game wants you to stay back as you dish out massive amounts of damage.
>>337044863
It took me like 5 games of Reinhardt to realize people were walking through my shield.
>>337044727
I was surprised the first time i saw her ult range but i think she's fine the way she is.
At least when I play her,i can get some sick killstreak without dying,you can play really safe.
Her ult does good damage too,you just gotta triple dash then ult and rewind.
She's fine trust me
>>337040906
she's barely a problem
why do shitlords complain about mei and bastion so much
anyone with mobility can get away from her or her ult, you can break her walls and they don't last long anyways, her lmb range is extremely short, her rmb isn't hitscan and it's slow
only someone who would let her sneak up on them would have a problem
>>337044856
I never even bother with his Q unless there's a real high priority target that has to go or I'm canceling it right after he calls it to get the enemy to scatter
Flashbangs and fanning are just too strong
>>337044852
>>337044830
Both not true, but I just assume you guys only played the open beta. Zenyattas hard counter is Tracer, McCree & Genji.
>>337045067
and winston
>>337044226
I play on PC and even I notice the fucking shit, I see bastion combos all the time and it fucking mows down people in seconds, literally seconds.
the only bastions that get fucked on are the one that position poorly
>>337038201
>buff Tracer's ult
I've been play Tracer almost exclusively with my buddies and if you buff that ult she'll be way too strong.
As it is she can disrupt defender backlines so much, kill stragglers and what not.
Buff the ultimate and she becomes way too good.
why does no one make good teams when shit is going south in a payload map?
like, holy shit, stop them from doing shit you idiots!
>>337037507
I'd like to add something
Make D.VA less hot so that I can focus on the game instead of getting a hard on every time I see her and start reminiscing about all the hot D.VA porn I've been jacking off to
>>337045123
Not that guy, but if the Zen is competent and sticking with his team, you're going to get Discorded then fucked by everyone else with how easy you are to hit. If he isn't smart enough to Discord you or is too far from his team, yeah, Winston shits all over him.
>>337044768
Good pharahs don't stay on the ground but generally shes easy to counter.
>>337040963
>>337044785
Not only is Lucio the most broken hero in the game, there is literally no counter that I can think of that can stop his self healing and movement speed.
>>337045175
swap the bomb and the time lapse,
bastion should only be able to turn 180 degrees or 90 deegres
>>337045067
He literally gets 1 bodied by Widow unless you have a Reinhart you will die if you misstep.
The only problem I have with Bastion is that he can use his self-heal while in turret mode.
>>337045313
My biggest problem with playing against Lucio is he feels so fucking hard to hit. Maybe I am bad but his hitbox feels really weird.
also make mcrees stun nade more like scouts sandman
>>337045164
He's effective but not as broken as people make him out to be
Widowmaker can kill Bastion in 2 shots
Discord Orb breaks him
Genji or Tracer or anyone good at flanking can get up from behind and if not outright kill him, force him to turn while the rest of the team shoots him
When they do a Reinhardt combo it makes things more difficult but it's still not unbeatable, just have to actually use teamwork, like having two people flank at once to force the Reinhardt to turn around, or use one of the many ults to make them scatter, or just Junkrat/Pharah it up and harass them as much as possible
Bastion is powerful but everyone seems to just throw their hands up and beg for nerfs instead of trying to come up with ways to outplay him
>>337037507
Why are there so many classes?
>>337045363
The animation for both going into and coming out of turret mode should be extended.
He should also only be able to heal himself if he's not in turret mode.
If not then self-heal he does should replenish health points gradually over time ala Soldier 76 instead of one solid chunk.
>>337037507
junkrat needs a buff to his nade jumps
making him lose momentum mid-air like that is incredibly annoying
Can we all agree that genji is the most balanced class
>>337044440
his ult / charge / melee damage / projectile are all extremely good but people don't use them
>>337039407
You know what he does get though?
A hitscan weapon with the ability to headshot.
Which instantly outweighs everything Pharah does.
>>337045505
I've found that if I have a Lucio in my sights as Symmetra or Winston then he's not getting away unless he boosts himself. But it's likely he already wasted that on his allies so he's a free kill always.
I've had Lucio's boost me off of the Ilios stage as Winston only for me to boost up and pump them full of hot monkey love. Lucio's should never be fucking around on their own just because they have a weapon.
>>337038201
Tracer and widow are both clearly overpowered m8
>>337045715
Dude needs 150 health. Srs.
>>337040024
>Mei constanly bottom 2.

>Torbjorn

Way to invalidate pretty much everything you say.
STOP FUCKING USING WIDOWMAKER IF YOU CAN'T SNIPE
I'M TIRED OF YOU SHITTERS MISSING EVER GOD DAMN SHOT AND WASTING A SPACE ON THE TEAM
>>337045331
Tracer without timelapse is pretty much dead weight.
She can toss all the bombs she wants but she'll be dead 9/10 times.
>>337045715
He is the most fun character
>>337045917
His kit makes him bad at higher level play. I think he's good but it would be great if he could move max level turrets. He really should not have to run out and collect scrap either on kills, kinda defeats his purpose of setting up a turret nest.
>>337045715
That's actually a very clever use of his deflect, and it only works if the Hanzo is retarded enough to ult with a Genji in his face.
>>337040959
The same way I handled 5 bastions and 1 mercy defending, afk until next round
i feel like reaper is too good of a counter to a lot of heroes
like any big hitbox takes a lot of damage from him, he's pretty mobile and can get around to widows and bastions and tjorbjorns, his ult is pretty easy to use and get kills with
it's not broke but a skilled reaper is a good pick in almost any situation, i have to go symetra or pharah or something to counter it
>>337040496
>or make it track targets better.
it has almost 100% accuracy and locks on instantly
>>337046041
The scrap mechanic is stupid in general. Torb shouldn't have to run into the enemy lines just for that shit.
They should just remove scrap entirely and give him back his 50 armor on a 7 second CD or whatever it was before.
>>337045970
>their widowmaker
>extremely good, high threat
>your widow
>dumb shitlord
every time
Put Symmetra in defense where she belongs
Torbjorn is more fucking support than she is
>>337046245
>your widow (scoped) sidesteps into a hanzo dragon somehow
Characters are balanced, what isn't is the power of teamplay - i believe there should be some sort of diminishing return in place for when a team stacks AOE ultimates/cc. Solo players don't ever stand a chance when premades do so. No matter how good a player you might be.
>>337046245
>tfw you're always the good widowmaker
>go out of my way to shit on the other widowmaker forcing her to swap
It feels too fucking good.
If you play Widowmaker on small enclosed KoTH maps, please kill yourself
>>337045281
You could say that about all those "hard counters".
>>337046041
I think he's alright, definitely not especially good
what I would want from him is his lmb to be more useful, like make it hitscan and have better muzzle velocity or something, just make it slower fire rate and/or less damage
Also, Bastion isn't OP, just counter him with Pharah u scrubs.
>>337041051
ok guys, here's the real torbjorn buff: what if - get this - what if, the turret fires rockets?
Yeah? Yeah. That way you can lower the damage of the instant lock-on 100% accuracy machine gun and put more of the turret's deadliness in avoidable projectiles.
Honestly, it's a miracle nobody else ever thought of this before me!
>>337046424
If I'm doing a shit job as a Widow I fully expect someone on my team to go "dude, please switch you're not pulling your weight". Especially if it's coming from a proficient Widow that's picking up double digit kills. I respect that.
>>337039404
DURRR
>D.Va's defense matrix shoots down the pulse bomb

>"guys no, pulse bomb so OP guys, really!"
Blimey m8 git gud
>>337046424
she's not terribly hard to play, but the team usually needs someone who isn't a retard to play the tank or support
and that is usually is the person who is good with widow
Reminder that the problem with bastion isn't that he's overpowered. It's that he's an anti-fun scrubwrecker that makes playing miserable for new people.
BUFFS
Symmetra
- Increase shield boost to 50
- Turrets have increased health so as to not die to explosions 5 miles away
Zenyatta
- 50 more shields, boosting total health to 200
NERFS
Widowmaker
- Significantly lower fire rate while scoped
- Ammo lowered to 24
Lucio
- Only receives half benefit from his healing aura
Mei
- Initial slow on Blizzard drastically reduced, time to freeze increased to about the same as her primary attack
- Enemies become immune to freezing effect for 3 seconds after thawing out
Just off the top of my head, really.
>>337038558
She's really fun
I love flying above people or staying high and shooting people on the ground
>>337041745
>nerfing roadhog's pull
No!
>>337040754
>Tracer's rewind should be her ult
Why
Why do you faggots insist on this shit?
Her primary fire has horrible range, spread, and dropoff. It is beaten by pretty much everyone except mercy. Even D.Va outside the suit does higher dps (though without hitscan) unless pointblank. She also has the lowest health in the game and no armor or shield to speak of.
She NEEDS the rewind. I don't see why this isn't fucking obvious to people.
>>337046649
Oh I mistyped I meant that I shit on the enemy widowmaker. If there's a bad widowmaker on my team I just let her do her thing since it's just open beta.
IT'S A PUSH THE CART EPISODE
FEATURING:

True, but it's harder to hit any of those other classes compared to Winston and they all outDPS him.
>>337047080
Roadhog is a classic pubstomp character. Easy simple setup. If you can dodge/block a hook then you are just bad fella
So far, it seems like Blizzard balanced this game around a somewhat small group of people. I understand that that is pretty much all they can do, but I think most people can agree that the game needs to be balanced for a more general orcasualaudience.
I still don't understand how anyone can consider Hanzo's ult balanced. Especially against slow champions, you aren't really given any time to react and it just melts your health. And it's doubly effective with all the choke points in the game.
LEAVE MEI ALONE
>>337047080

>>337047194
How do you dodge a long-range hook with no telegraph? And don't imply that every hook comes from out in the open.
Getting a hook is a guaranteed kill on almost every hero, they should AT LEAST increase the cooldown or reduce the range.
Actually just remove the goddamned stun.
post records
>41 kills in one game as edge incarnate
>>337047610
31 eliminations
18 kill streak
Tracer
>>337047080
he's a huge target, doesn't have any special movement, and his effective range is tiny
he's only effective against a handful or support or low health offensive characters he can manage to get close to, and only heroes who don't have an ability to get away or heal, and only if they're alone and not under cover fire
you need to land the hooks within a pretty short LOS, and they don't go through tank's shields
>>33704761010 upvotes post-game
gamee is fun i guess, but no way im paying fullprice for this without support for playermade maps/gamemodes
also they really need to up the team sizes
>>337047556
Zarya can make two shields that prevent from being hooked, Reins shield stops it, Genji can stop it, Mei can ice herself out of combo and that's just a couple characters that can easily avoid it.
Am I good?
winston and genji need the option to go 3rd person for their ults desu
>>337047729
The main problem with the vote system is that you can vote for yourself.
I think that if you make it on the board, you automatically get a bit of xp for making it there, and then you get two votes (but can't vote for yourself, and your votes get dealt at the end of voting so people don't think everyone is piling on one character right away)

increase his shields, make his ult apply a very small DoT to any enemies that stay in the AoE
>Pharah
enemies she gets the final hit on drop a fuel canister she can pick up that decreases her fuel consumption by 50% for 10 seconds
NERFS
>Roadhog
Hook CD increased by 2 seconds
>Genji
Reflect no longer has perfect accuracy when bouncing shots further than 20ft away, removing his ability to reflect-kill Widowmakers

+0.5 second delay to turret's lock-on

This will literally make the game perfect.
>>337048273
>Genji
>Reflect no longer has perfect accuracy when bouncing shots further than 20ft away, removing his ability to reflect-kill Widowmakers
So make Widow even stronger? Nah fuck off. She is 100% the most overpowered character in the game. If she's retarded even to snipe a Genji aware of her then she deserves to be punished
>>337044863
when someone runs through your shield you turn around and try to pin them, you either hit and are good and kill them, or you miss and are safe from the rest of the team and can start your push again.
>>337048216
I always get angry if I die often and then I change to widowmaker and kill the enemies from far distance
pick a hero for me to play
liking D.Va and Tracer best so far, tried them all for at least one round. also maybe Mei
>>337043021
I think a few different characters, Junkrat in particular standing out, have a bit wonky balance due to the fact that there's no ammo pool in this game.
They can just spam their weapons into chokepoints all day every day.
>>337038557
and it has a shit ton of hackers
even on the pro scene
the game is dead and mostly people just troll on it
congratulations
>There are people on this thread that want to nerf Roadhog out of all the characters.
>>337049105
A good roadhog player can kill any non-tank hero with one good hook + attack, and he can do that every 7 seconds I believe? He definitely needs a longer CD on his hook.
i dont get it, why would you ever play D'Va over Reinhardt?
>>337049525
There's no such thing as a pro level roadhog because they're considered ultimate feed. Just like bastion, roadhog gets a lot of love low level, but has very little competitive viability
