1. Widowmaker ult should only affect her, not entire team, she is the one wearing goggles, she is the only one who should have wallhack.

2. Mei is too strong in dealing damage, healing, tanking, close range, long range, medium range, CC'ing, providing utility. She needs some nerfs, especially tho how much ammo she has, you can be braindead and just spam it, miss 80% of it, but hit 20% and still get kills.

That is all.

1. Widow's ult should be for her team, but it should be broadcast to the enemy team. It's a global ult and one of the only ults that doesn't have an audio sound for the enemy.

2. Go fuck yourself, she's literally one of the worst characters with one of the highest TTK's. She's just a very low skill character so it's more frustrating to lose against her.

Remove mcree's reload on roll and extend the cool down on his flash. Reduce mei's health to 200. Make soldier 76's health made destructible. Extend the transformation animation on torb's sentry. Buff zenyata's health to 175.

Nah, if anything it should be:

1. Mei's heal cooldown extended for another 2-3 seconds
2. Zenyata get's 50 health buff
3. Decrease Winston's damage but increase range
4. Have Genji's melee do more than just 50 dmg
5. Have a way to play as D. Va without the mech. She's fun as hell to play when you have to think about how fragile you are
>>
>>338939281
more uses of Symmetra's teleporter
>>
>Widow ult should only affect her
Naa, her damage needs tweaking though. 1 shot bodyshot killing Zen/Tracer and almost killing half the cast is absurd. Reduce her damage across the board, reduce charge time on her wallhack considerably.
As is, she is a MANDATORY pick for both sides in a "pro" composition.
Mei is useless in said position as well, just learn to range her out, she's useless at mid range, cause she thinks her ice beam is hitting you when it's not, so you can kill her.
And if she icicles, you act like it's a Widow and just step to the left or right.
Bastion still needs a rework, he's useless in competitive and a god in noob zone.

Roadhogs hook should not give him a free oneshot on targets. People hooked should at least have 0.35 seconds to react before roadhog since he got the strongest and easiest close range weapon and his hook is only 6 sec cooldown.

Or, and it may be crazy I dunno, let Zen have an orb pool. So you could throw out two harmony or two discord orbs if you wanted too.
>>
>>338940994
Those are all fucking terrible ideas except giving Zeneyatta more health and even then I think 50 is maybe a bit much 25 would probably be good.

Also I think the only character that blatantly needs a nerf is widowmaker, her close range assault rifle needs to be removed or made piss weak because it's better than a lot of dedicated close/ mid range characters weapons and she probably needs a charge and fire rate nerf on her sniper. Her ability to just repeatedly wipe the enemy team in the right hands is fucking absurd and she's way more competent when you get up close to her than she has any right to be.

As someone who's played a lot of Mei this is true, but /v/ is too young to take advice.

It also needs to be heard by the enemy team instead of only enemy heroes who are insanely close to her.
I am not defending it, but if it were just her, it would be totally useless, since she's already watching every corner and will auto-pick you anyway.

1. Mercy should get an increase in HP (25 or 50, though 50 may be pushing it), but her Ult should also charge slower.

2. I'm not sure if this is a thing already, but with Reinhardt's ult are you able to jump to avoid the blast? Everybody else's ult gives people a bit of time to run, but it seems like Reinhardt's comes out instantaneously. Maybe a better indication that he's about to slam down the hammer?

3. D.va should get a slight increase to the damage she deals with her tank's primary fire. I get more kills with regular D.va firing her pistol than I do with D.va in her mech, which feels silly

4. Maybe nerf Bastion's damage by like ten to fifteen percent. It really does feel like instant death at medium ranges.

5. Give Genji a bit more damage on his melee attacks. He DOES have a sword.

6. I'm really struggling to figure out a reason to use Hanzo over Widowmaker besides Hanzo's ult. Widowmaker charges faster, is easier to hit enemies, and a skilled Widowmaker will ALWAYS out-do a Hanzo. Maybe buff the range of his sonic arrow/damage of his burst arrow?

7. Don't lower mouse movement with Mei's M1 freeze until the last possible second. I can deal with her having tons of tools to keep people out, but it is absolute bullshit that every time I deal with a Mei I'm guaranteed to lose around 400 health even on the biggest characters because I can't move my mouse to target her that extra three degrees to the left.

8. Take away Symmetra's bitch face and maybe more people will play as her.

9. Maybe lower the charge time for Widowmaker's rifle? Because in normal use her charge basically doesn't matter.

Other than that I think everybody's pretty solid for now.
>>
>>338939281
That fat fucking slanty eyed chink is the only legitimately broken character IMO, nerf her to shit.

Make her ult shout a bit louder. Deactivate it if she is killed (correct me if I'm wrong but I'm positive it remains active after she is killed)

i kind of agree

it's slow as hell to charge and since he himself doesn't do much damage he cant even really kill more than 2 heroes also it's small area i don't think it needs to be tweaked

mech has extreme damage fall off, i don't know what blizzard is thinking with her

yes because that's what bastion does, instakills stuff close to medium range don't be one of those who cry about it

bastion is easy as hell to counter and requires a good team to fight off flankers/defend it

genji is a flanker not a brawler and you don't want him to be fast, sneaky AND be able to instakill

the ult is a giant area denial, the ricochet arrow shit is very good, his other ability is a lot better than waht WM has, widowmaker has to scope and be stationary to do damage hanzo can run around like it's nobodies business

Don't lower Widowmaker's charge time. It already charges in like 1.5 seconds. If she wants to play quick and loose she uses her machinengunnen.
Let you build Torbjorn's turret on ledges and stuff since it's so fragile (comparatively) and has semi-low damage.

about genji

his dash during ultimate should deal more damage(+25dmg would be enough). his regular dash dmg is not a problem if you know how to properly aim with shurikens.

also dying after you dashed behind someone is just infuriating but what to expect from 20 tickrate.

also my own rant about hanzo
this fucker shouldnt be able to 1shot people with barely drawn bow. his arrow flies like a wet noodle when spamming LMB and somehow is capable of 1-shotting people when normally it would just bounce off them.
>>
>>338941564
This is good.
>>
Wallhacks only affecting her does nothing to combat what makes widowmaker so bullshit.

The real reason she's nonsense is that you can hit a 200 hp or lower target with a charged bodyshot and then instantly kill them
with another shot because she attacks way too fast.

She needs an ult charge and attack speed reduction more than anything.

>his dash during ultimate should deal more damage(+25dmg would be enough)
This. It's odd that usually when dashing he hits with his smaller blade but if you use your ult he still uses the smaller blade for the dash. Genji is fine otherwise I just wish I was better at aiming ith the shurikens.

Overwatch has been in beta for over a year and has received many balance patches and even hero reworks (Bastion used to be even stronger and he had a small Reinhardt shield in turret mode).

rational balance decisions:

-create second entry point on all map choke points, so bastion has to watch more than a single tiny point, and rebuff him to compensate for this

-assume that every class will bump into every other class, and give them a chance to win. this includes mei vs symmetra in a small room with no turrets set up, this will require massive buffs and nerfs everywhere

irrational balance decisions:

-assume that every game will have top-level esport coordination, with a tank, healer, flanker, sniper, etc

-and thus render gimmick characters like symmetra or bastion utter garbage when outside their effective teamplay niche

Blizzard has chosen irrational balance decisions. And the game will fail for that reason.

Mcree. Reduce hp so he cant just run at people and flashbang all day. Increase fan spread.

Hanzo. Reduce headshot damage to below 200 and fix the hitbox.

Bastion. Largely increase time it takes to switch to turret and back. Add shields to his flank. Reduce armor when not deployed.

Zenyatta. Umm. Hm... Let him fly...? Make his ulti better? Something.

Winston. Remove KOTH. Add 1 hero limit.

how is that rational?
different characters have different advantages and disadvantages
sometimes you are in a bad position for your character and die, thats balance.
>assume that every game will have top-level esport coordination, with a tank, healer, flanker, sniper, etc
The game does advise you to pick that way

they are gimmicks for a reason. I dont think all characters should have the same pick rates.

There is a reason she is among the 3 least picked competitively. She needs major buffs if anything. Or a kit rework.
>>
My only problem really is D.Va, her damage is fucking minimal in her mech even up close.

Out of mech she is useless, sheÅ› fast and has a gun but can do nothing else. Her gun is shit tier too, next to no damage with slow firing speed means itÅ› horribly easy to just side step every bullet.

Reduce Hanzo, Widow, Tjorb and Roadhog damage. No way these heroes should get kills for melee bodyshots considering the rest of their kit

Reduce Bastion's damage, you should be able to at least get some time to react to his bullshit when turning around a corner

Increase the time it takes for Tjorb turrets to notice someone coming from behind or the sides, a team with a tjorb that knows where to put his turret should not be absolutely immune to flanking on most maps.

Reduce Lucio's survivability in one way or another, he's far too durable for a character that mobile

Higher cooldown on Tracer's dash, shouldn't refill twice in the same gunfight

More spread that should translate into less damage outside of point blank range on mc cree's right click, that shit is fucking stupid

There, the game is now fun.

Honestly the only changes I want to see are to make ultimates more interesting. A lot of them are variations of "this button does a lot of damage".

Just some random ideas that could be hilariously imbalanced or interesting, who knows:

Soldier 76: Make his ult switch his primary fire to his rockets that fire every 0.5 seconds

Reaper: Make his ult require a charge, the longer the charge, the greater the range. Have a visible AOE.

Pharah: Grant her jetpack abilities to an ally for a limited amount of time.

Basically I want more ults that do interesting things like Dota instead of "press button, do damage, get PotG"

Give Tracer a completely reworked Ult. It's such a shitty and underwhelming tool.

>Mei is overpowered

A huge chunk of the Meis that I go against have no idea that they can actually do damage to people who aren't frozen. I regularly win against teams with Mei because those dumb shits just stand around and tickle/annoy people or block themselves in front of everyone while their entire team gets shit on because the damage isn't there.

Sure, 1v1 Mei is annoying as shit, but if you stick with your team like you're fucking supposed to you should be fine.
>>
>>338953480
I'd say make 50 of her current health into armor, and SLIGHTLY buff her splash damage.
>>
>>338953681
>Shes supposed to be a glass cannon.
Then her attack power needs uped, and given shes in a fucking power armor suit she should have more armor.
>>
>>338939281
No to your ideas.

Raise Zenyatta hp.

Lower Widowmaker attack rate.
>>
>>338953149
It's a usage list, not a tier list. Though it's pretty indicative of which heroes need a bit of work.
>>
>>338953614
Heres the thing my team either dies from a pharah/mei flanking from behind or they are retarded and split up and get picked off one at a time. Not just that if the entire enemy team is attacking my shield nonstop it will break in 15 seconds and three ice shots from mei alone will kill me where it takes atleast five - six from a reaper at close range to kill me.
>>
>>338939281
That'd make Widow's ult pretty terrible honestly.

Mei is fine, her long and medium range isn't that powerful due to the weird delay they put on it. Her close range is strong for a reason and shes easily handled at range.

Real balance changes I'd say would be McCree, since hes ridiculously good right now. He can pretty much solo carry teams right now if you know what you're doing. And Zenyatta need some kind of health bonus or armor. Hes a bit too squishy for what he is.
>>
>>338953808
>>338953480
I don't think raising her health would be right, as it stands widow is kind of intended to be a counter, she can one shot headshot pharah. If you buff her health that won't happen any longer.

Giving 50 of her health as armor would be worse.
>>

>>338951952
You are talking competitive play. Teams like to stick with what they are good at and known quantities. So they will often not use heroes that are good or potentially good as they aren't practiced with it and will play worse than playing what they do have practice with. Takes time for them to adjust.

Thats literally their role. Mei, Pharah, and a bunch of other characters are suppose to flank and take out people. Especially if theres a Reinhardt. Also Rein has both a ranged attack to damage with and a charge to one shot most classes with. If your team is dieing, its cause they need to be more aware.
>>
>>338953867
It does not. I'm pretty sure you're just lying at this point.

I honestly can't believe a fucking Reinhardt player is telling me Mei needs nerfs. You're playing what is one of the most effective team heroes in the game and the best tank.

If Mei is beating you you are absolute fucking garbage and need to use your team, if you have one other person with you they will keep Mei from tickling you to death.

He's a pub stomper in low skill games, but I think the main issue with him is that he forces the game to change and focus around him.
When the enemy has a bastion, you have to play completely differently and it's almost mandatory you switch characters to counter him. He's cancerous in the sense that the match revolves around him being selected or not

you have ten seconds to get even remotely close to any character with less than 400 hp and press a button for free kills. Outside of the eventual ranked, you'd be lucky to find a team that even knows you can shoot it rather than try to run.

No, they just don't pick Mei because they tried her and realized other picks are far stronger for defense. She has a cool kit and is very strong in 1v1s and enclosed spaces if she's fighting immobile sub250 classes, but she struggles against more than one person, can't deal with tanks if they don't fuck up and becomes more of an annoying, resistive gnat than a genuine threat in the open or against organized teams.

Combine 76 and Pharah into one character.

Combine Symmetra and Zenyatta into one character.

Combine Zarya and Winston into one character.

His critical point is usually redundant against anyone worth their salt. They can immediately turn around and outdamage you 10 to 1, not to mention his 300 health.

I don't think he's OP and I know how to deal with him but his crazy DPS makes for some bullshit moments. Bastion hiding in a ridiculous place and instagibbing you without you being able to react shouldn't be something that happens.

I'd make it so that he can't turn 360 degrees like he used to be, reduce his damage and clip and in turn make it so that switching between his modes is much faster.

So long as you don't just fucking sit in the sky you're fine. Also learn to aim, not only is her direct rockets good damage, but by juggling people around you're making it harder for them to hit you.

Every fucking class can just hold M1. Further more its her job to flank and surprise you, and you still have options to fight back and kill her. Hell, if you're going to complain about being ambushed, theres FAR worse characters in the game who can do that.

You realize she has the most OP ult in the game right?
The charge time on that is incredibly short for its team utility.

Why do you think I said "arguably"

As useless as she is out of her mech, if you don't have another ready within 30 seconds then you're just bad.

Plenty of health packs on the map, mate. And its only like 40 or less damage per shot, plus you can get to some absurd heights on maps if you combine it with her ability jump.

Id like to have something more to do out of suit but it's a small line until it would be op since she needs mech buffs.

He says "FIRE IN THE HOLE" for the enemy team. But it is silly that no one on the team looked backward.

The charge time is similar to ubercharge, it charges faster the more healing you do. If your team isn't getting hurt, it won't be as fast.

True, but at times you aren't able to get to those health packs because you need to help flank/attack or defend
Not to mention pesky widowmakers
