Mei's issue is that her basic attack is capable of stunning someone for a (relatively) long period of time. The worst part is that it stacks so two Meis can stun someone twice as fast.

You shouldn't have stuns associated with a character's basic attack. I understand if it slows but actually freezing someone in place after a second or two of sustained fire is just OP.

Heroes of the Storm is a blizzard game.
Seriously, they could release a bunch of cosmetics that are paid with cash and the game with a price tag that include all heroes/maps forever, that is a model that already works in some games (i.e. CS:GO), if they do release the game and then ask for more money for things you need, like maps and heroes, since they are relevant to the meta, expect a bunch of people to leave; or even worse, expect a lot of people to never even buy the game, because they don't know for certain whether they are paying for the full game forever or for the current version of it.

Heroes of the Storm is still profitable even when wedged in between two massive juggernauts of the genre with a pretty shitty business model. It's harder to kill a Blizzard game than you think.

She's still a tank. None of the tanks but a Zarya with charge is actually good as killing. Her guns have pretty bad spread, but if you can unload a clsoe range for a bit she can do a lot of damage. Plus her ult demands respect.

Here's a list of auto-aims in Overwatch.

Soldier 76 ultimate
Mccree ultimate
Reaper ultimate
Winston primary gun
Symmetra primary gun & turrets
Torbjorn turret
Roadhog chain (aim assist)


Here's a list of offensive effects or attacks which aren't auto-aim but you essentially cannot miss with them no matter how bad you are.

Bastion turret gun
Reaper primary guns
Tracer primary guns
Reinhardt primary melee
Zenyatta orb of discord
Winston ultimate
Pharah ultimate
Roadhog primary
Roadhog ultimate
Zarya ultimate
Tracer ultimate
Mei primary
Mei ultimate
Genji ultimate
D.Va primary
D.Va ultimate

Additionally, almost every character has a skill that negates all positional mistakes. For example: caught on the ground as the rocketess Pharah? No problem, just press this easy button and you're instantly in the sky, where you're most effective.

Ran yourself into a bad spot as the fragile but swift Tracer? No problem, just press this easy button and you're instantly back where you were before.

Got caught in the open as the close-range slugger Reaper? Just press your invulnerability button and float over to a healthkit. You get this and many other movement tools completely free, there's nothing you give up for them, like sacrificing health with a rocket-jump.


The tools Overwatch gives you to solve problems are contained in a single, brainless button rather than a complex and difficult set of movements and/or offensive measures. The entire game revolves around identifying the correct rock-paper-scissors situation to press your button, then pressing it. There is no serious skill of any kind involved. You're going through the motions of what you think a video game entails.

The miniscule difference between a week-old Overwatch player and a year-old Overwatch player will be lost in the cloud of instakill ultimates, teleports and AOE abilities. This game is transcendentally shit, and there is no escape from it. This is the very profitable future of FPS. Hell. Population: you.

he said there was a "misconception" that they would be selling maps at launch. he worded it very cleverly so morons like you feel good about preordering a shit game.
>>
>>121905747
I agree with everything except

>developed with consoles in mind which is why stupid shit like McCree, Widowmaker, aimhacks, and wallhacks exist

Blizzard are probably just porting it to console to make a few extra bucks, similar to what Valve did for TF2.

Aimbots are a bigger deal on console since it's actually harder to aim.

>Overwatch may be boring and shallow as an FPS game on account of all of the 'canned skill' abilities eliminating the impact of mechanical skill, but as a strategy game it's good! Just look at how many characters there are, and how many abilities! Surely that leads to good strategy gameplay.

Makes sense until you consider that Overwatch is trying to pretend it's an FPS game, not a strategy game. All of the ways in which Overwatch is different from other real time strategy games (the camera, the pace, the lack of resources to fight over) are flaws.

Let's consider Overwatch's strategy merit compared to another the-player-controls-one-unit strategy game like DOTA. Each player has ~3 skills and an ultimate, so there's parity there.

But the camera perspective isn't top-down, it's first person. This makes zero sense for a strategy game and inhibits the player's ability to get an overall picture of what's going on. The controls also make it impossible for the player to ever control more than one unit, like they sometimes do in DOTA.

There are no map resources to fight over - as a strategy game, the only strategic element is the win condition. You cannot have such a lopsided 'strategy' game ever be interesting by its strategic merit.

Overwatch is shit as either an FPS game or a strategy game.

Infinite ammo makes a lot of sense when you're dealing with huge regenerating shields, big beefy tanks, and lots of healing in general. The only character the spam feels a little silly on is Junkrat and he's a little weak if anything.
>>
>>121906654
You're a fucking moron honestly.

If they were actually developing this game to be a competitive PC fps they wouldn't allow any of that shit.

Look at tf2 sniper. TF2 has much quicker movement and it requires a charged headshot to kill a buffed soldier whos jumping around constantly, yet it's still a good situational class

Overwatch everyone is slow as fuck and widow has a autosniper that charges fast as fuck with 30 bullets.

The game is still in Beta. There are lots of ways Widow could be changed if she's still an issue going forward. Infinite ammo isn't the problem.
>>
>>121906807
They're projectiles rather than hit-scan and it's three separate instances of small damage, which is easily negated by high armor characters. Genji's shuriken attack is nowhere near as bad as McCree's shit was.

And McCree is still OP as fuck in mid-range battles, literally all they did was nerf an aspect of him that should have never been powerful in the first place.

Why would that shit be in the game in the first place? Why would they have a 1 hit kill autosniper in a "competitive fps". Not to mention her wallhacks and grappling.

Shields are strong against her and plenty of characters have the mobility to easily jump on top of her. That ohko requires a headshot on most characters. I agree that the clip size is stupid though. Each sniper shot should take 6 or 10 bullets or something.

At the moment, she and Hanzo cannibalize each other. One of them needs to be the slow precision sniper, one needs to be the spammy sniper. At this moment, Hanzo is the latter while Widow is both.

There's a tonne of skill regarding the ults. Sure, clicking the button and getting kills doesn't always require skill, but it's much more than that.

Firstly, reacting to them is a massive deal. Sometimes you get a fraction of a second to react to an enemy ultimate so that you're not caught by it. You hear a "High Noon" shout, and you have to first identify where it's coming from, and then hide for cover or kill the McCree. The McCree has to decide when to actually fire his ultimate. If he gives too much time then people will get behind cover but if he waits he may be able to take out another person.

Pharah ult is a press Q to deal damage, but where you use that ultimate is incredibly important. A widowmaker can take an ulting pharah out almost instantly meaning the ult does no damage, but we all know how incredibly powerful a well placed Pharah ult can be. I've seen Reaper ults go to complete waste while others decimate an entire team.

Even Widowmaker's ult has an element of skill to it. WidowMaker herself probably benefits the most from having the wallhack on, but maybe you've just spawned and you have to decide if you would rather give your ult to your team. You need to know what they are doing and if it's going to be useful or not. The decision can be game changing.

A Mercy ult, while overpowered is stupidly difficult to time. If you resurrect too early, some more team members may die but if you resurrect late, players may have expired already, not to mention you can die before you res. If the enemy gets a better resurrect than you do, your team is done for.

Knowing exactly when to use your ults separates good players from bad ones and using your ultimate to its maximum effect separates good players from great ones.

The problem is, people think that the greatest skill in a game comes from aiming, which simply isn't what a game should be because in reality, aiming isn't actually very skillful itself. It's a single mechanic that people have refined over the years. This game is very well rounded. You NEED to be able to aim, but you also NEED to have perfect positioning and you NEED to have top cooldown management. Your decision making needs to be flawless and you have to constantly work with your team and be aware of what they are doing.

Honestly, if you're worried about the lack of skill required in this game, then you're only focusing on a single aspect of it. You're not winning this game simply by moving your mouse onto a player slightly better than your opponent does, it doesn't work like that I'm afraid. This is why this game has the potential to become one of the best and challenging games in eSports to date. Be excited.
