Idk I'm a one trick doomfist main and for me it just feels better when they counter pick because that means they gave in and they are the worse player and for me it feels even better when you still cook them because they don't know how to play the character they swapped to and they just fall over. idk maybe its a toxic mentality but that's what helps me cope with counter swapping and when I lose I don't really care its just a game

People who swap to counter someone and only focus that person need to touch grass. Like bro I am in quick play I just wanna play the game and have fun not have a sweaty death match for 15 mins

Im not re watching, why do you lOvE OrIsA??? Bc shes meta??? What kind of context clues did i miss. Good tips, but it sounded like you spent the video sucking off your own rank dawg

I kinda get this mentality, but I disagree with quite a few points. Firstly, reaper isn’t really that good against Winston, and I’m pretty sure the new armor changes don’t even change reaper’s damage per shot at Winston. I might be wrong but iirc he has like 10 max damage per pellet with headshot and there’s like a 70% cap to dr or smthn. Also, mostly what you should do if someone is counter picking you constantly, especially for something like dva into Mei bc that’s not really that hard of a counter (saying this as a dva one trick) is conserve your mobility. Can’t really do something about ball sombra tho. Anyways, why I hate Orisa meta is because she is a boring tank and there’s nothing you can do about her just living until her supports die, and she makes any other tank unable to make plays due to her effective immortality. Also javelin ult cancels are annoying as hell.

i disagree on the brig point, her entire existance is to counter dive, when someone picks her it is a counter pick for the potential dive pick from the enemy

this game isnt call of duty, the purpose of the tank is to make openings and/or space, to make plays essentially. yes "just heal whoever ball/winston dives" is simple, but you are diverting all healing focus to the character that is being dived, leaving other parts of the team open to being picked off. ball is the master of diversion, he is the quintessential "hey look over there" kind of hero, his primary tool being chaos that he brings to the table. When your ana cant simply sit in the corner and healbot it means the rest of your team suffers significantly. It also means the sleeps that she would potentially save for shutting down ults, needs to be needlessly wasted on sleeping the ball on cooldown. Another thing that really helps ball is he is unaffected by ana nade, anti-healing is pointless on ball.

The copium is strong with this one

ball is all about timing I hit masters on ball last season, you really need to pick a target and only focus them and once they swap sombra its your main priority. All you need to do to climb on ball is make sure you have grapple when you engage especially when you're in gold they won't be able to punish you never ever use grapple to engage. Theres always somebody out of position you just need to abuse it

Literally one of the most annoying characters to play against. Also hate how you can see her clearly throw the spear and miss and it still hits you like 90% of the time. Winston and ball are also not my favorite tanks btw . IMO I really like ramattra, and I think junker queen would be pretty cool if she got the scream a little more often . I don’t like how much damage Winston does per second it’s insane and ball is ok but he’s hit or miss depending on who is using him. Hes not the most reliable and by nature of playstyle he leaves most his team as sitting ducks Orisa. Would be ok or more tolerable if she didn’t get increased damage over time for spamming her gun . Pay close attention to how she gets kills. A lot of the time yea its cuz she can’t die but what makes it worse is that even if you know her damage increases the way it happens and what little she has to do to get the increase pretty much will catch you off guard most the time and it ends up feeling like wtf just happened cuz you went from 250 to 0 in a way that felt impossible to react to . Also watch her just spam the gun and get kills off of 1 or 2 stray bullets with increased damage that just so happened to hit you or a healer in the head so now they are dead or one tapped just because orisa accidentally shot them while spamming smh

Genji counters: geometry and attention, it is simple throw a nade to genji he must fall back. Just watching his movements makes he not engaging plus is easier to hit a genji double jumping compare to every hero dodging without jumping around. He has the highest amount of counters in the game and almost every ability directly counter his play style. Secondary fire typically has 20 to 40% accuracy that’s means less then 2 shuriken hitting so just 27 dmg. Dash secondary fire and melee is 50+27+40 so 117, junk mine no aim deals 120 for example. In conclusion genji is the most balance hero in the game is just a skill issue and lack of basic understanding of the game. (I’m not a genji main I play hitscans)

genuinely curious, when did you start playing? I’m not trying to sound rude, but i’ve been here since launch and this feels like a new player perspective to me

Idk if I’d call Cas a tank buster. DVA or monkey just dive him and he’s helpless. I don’t think he needs to be nerfed.

just wait until this guy learns about old cass' flashbang in ow1

to be fair. get good. its insanely hard to hit fan shots on anything but a tank, though i can admit the flashbang is annoying, they gave ashe, the arguably more annoying character with no damage fall off scope in and burn damage, the fancy dynamite mcree should have had.

Watching this rant made me want to put more time into Mcree

quite literally a skill issue.

I also hate Cassidy. Even the hanzo matchup is rough unless you play spamzo, because cass can effectively kill you mid range far faster than you can kill him. Headshots feel like nothing on him because he’s usually able to get behind cover and be back to 2 shot in seconds

His name is Mcree I don’t care

That's like, Your opinion, man.

venture is they/them, not she/her. hope this helps :D

cassidy is a dive victim. thats why hes not good in the current meta because if hes being dove beyond something like a single tracer he becomes the vulnerable target. hes also not a poke character at all he shoots gusts of air past 15m and has always been a close range brawl hero.

He is and forever be McCree, and weirdos who try to pretend otherwise are speaking volumes on what kind of people they are.

Hello! I play Cassidy and while I won't tell you to just get good and that it's a skill issue. I'm going to challenge your points here and try to clear some things up on my end. 1. Yes, Cassidy's damage is pretty insane, BUT- the only value he gets is on headshots. Which isn't as easy as it sounds during normal gameplay where there's constant movement and chaos unfolding. 2. Fanning the Hammer isn't as broken as it you said it is, if a tank is being pocketed by like- a mercy or something, it's gonna be really hard to try and snag kills with it. Not to mention that fanning really only works at close range because of it's wild nature which puts Cassidy in serious danger unless he has supports behind him and even then, a good tank could easily shred his 275 healthpool if he's not paying attention. Frankly, you actually have a bit of an advantage over Cassidy with your bombs as junkrat because of the range they can travel, he doesn't. He only works at mid-close range. So Junkrat's longer range can pose massive trouble to Cassidy as well, same with Soldier 76, Baptiste, Widow, etc 3. His roll's recharge honestly feels fine, and it has a pretty small range, the 6 second cooldown can feel like 6 minutes in the middle of a fight when you can't get to cover, and the short range makes it impossible to disengage from the middle of a team fight unlike reaper's Wraith Form/Teleport or Moira's Fade. 4. Cassidy can 100% be flanked or dived, a panicked Cassidy will probably whiff his shots more than anything, not to mention dive tanks have superior mobility that he just does not have. While Winston's damage is subpar at best, he can easily disengage when needed, Cass cannot as said before. 5. Also, the addition of characters like Kiriko and Illiari have served to be issues for Cass, longer range hitscan and projectiles easily counter him. While I get your points, I feel like this stems more from anger and not an actual issue with the character itself. Cassidy is very well balanced and while he can be an issue, he's nowhere near as threatening as a Bastion or Widow could be to your team, Bastion can shred tanks even faster and more efficiently than Cassidy can 6. One more thing I'm gonna add, Cass's Ult leaves him so much more open, since he has to basically charge it up to get any mileage, it's easy to pick him off during it. Those are my points and what I've taken away from this, feel free to contest them if you feel obligated.

he is still mcree, not cassidy. no matter how much people say, its still mcree.

Ik at least i hope it's a joke but I also know tht many ppl thinks tht way no joke 😂

Nice video! In terms of rebalancing Body Count, as much as I would love the 2nd option to be added, this would mean the FH devs would have to come up with minion kill animations for 17 heroes (from Tiandi all the way to Sohei) which I don't think as a team they're willing to do given FH age and most probably cuts in budget. However, I do think the first option is a much better suggestion as the trade-off for more stamina in the minion lane is constantly getting slashed by the minions themselves.

You CANNOT claim Slanderous is a “Top-Tier Player”. Bro sucks, and his ideas are generally pretty bad. Bro suggested to remove a critical feature in the game for the sake of making combat look better. In reality, it would result in an absurd level of spam.

stop the yapping

I love Otzdarva but some of his takes really are questionable lmao like making distortion tokens be shared by the entire team cuz he overvalues the information that knowing aura reading is at play Maybe overvalue is the wrong word, it's definitely valuable information, but it's useless info that you can't convey to your teammates since the game has no way of communicating it. Top down balancing is an issue that becomes incredibly more difficult to deal with when you take something like the SoloQ vs SWF problem that DBD has

A great example I can think of is team fortress 2, VALVe decided in 2016 to listen to their niche competitive community, resulting in multiple previously balanced, if not a little obnoxious but easily countered, weapons being gimped and made irrelevant, instances include the Ullapool Caber, Sandman, Baby Face's Blaster, and Axtinguisher

"Players are amazing at finding problems but terrible at suggesting solutions for it" - Mark Rosewater on Magic the Gathering (Its the earliest i can find the quote from, if its from someone else please correct me)

People in large groups are always good at spotting problems, but terrible at coming up with solutions. This is true for games even more. Both high and low level players' consensus on what's too strong or weak is usually correct, but the devs should just mostly ignore any player suggestions on how to correct those problems.

Remember. FUCK THE 1% (but not completely (focus on the 99% first then the 1%))

"Balance without Variety is meaningless" I don't think it particularly matters if at either low or high levels particular characters become underpowered/underutilised. With the amount of content that games offer nowadays, there will still be enough variety if only, say, 12 of 16 characters may be considered viable. However, hammering down any spike in popularity or winrate without considering the bigger picture of "How those changes affect the game's fun factor" is the real killjoy here. Rainbow six Siege is the prime example of what happens when the balance team's approach is to look at a spreadsheet and take a sledgehammer to any outliers, without considering the bigger picture. In the relentless pursuit of balance they accidentally stamped out the fun of the game. Maybe my view is different because years ago I've moved on from shooters on to fighting games years ago, and honestly, it was the best decision of my life

I'm sorry, this is just cap. You listen to the people who actually know how to play the game, over the people who don't. Top down balancing is the only way to go.

If something is unbalanced (over- or underpowered), then it will be the pro players who take advantage of it (or don't use it) the most. If the thing is balanced at the highest level, it (objectively) is balanced at lower levels too. What can be an issue however is that low levels don't know how to use something (which results in being "underpowered") or they don't know how to deal with someone using the thing (which results in being "overpowered"). When this happens, you'll know that the "power level" of the thing is fine, but the accessibility isn't, and can make those changes. I wouldn't call those changes necessarily buffs or nerfs (of course always depends on the context), it's more like taking sideways steps to get the thing accessible and fun to all skill levels. So in my opinion, a good balancing process starts from the top to get the "power level" right, and then based off of feedback makes the necessary changes to ensure that it is perceived as fair by the wider community.

Don't be showing OTZ like that xd. He has some valid points

why otz is even listed there? bhvr has a notorious streak of not giving a single fuck about any suggestions the fog whisperers - the ambassadors of dbd - make and balance the game by looking at the statistics. they literally buffed nemesis' damaged syringe (brown addon) so it makes the vaccine injection for survs longer while also revealing them with killer instinct for 3 seconds longer. without ANY idea that nemesis already has adrenalin injector (yellow addon) that also makes killer instinct last for 3 seconds longer without any additional effect. i'd rather have all the decisions regarding this game being made according to otz' suggestions than whatever the fuck bhvr thinks their game is.

So this is why Cassidy is nerfed through the ground while being hard as hell to play?

I always thought there should be a sliding scale balance. So for shooter games characters that require high accuracy should probably do more damage at lower ranks where people miss more but slowly do less damage as the ranks go up.

listening to top players might not be good but its still 10x better than listening to low/mid ranks who dont have enough hours or enough game sense to figure out why something is good or bad. You cannot balance the same thing differently for different ranks. A game should never be balanced around players that lack in skill whether it be mechanical or intellect, because its not the games fault the players suck at it. Low/mid ranks do not get to complain about mechanics when the issue is their lack of skill. if you have problem, just get better at the game or just uninstall. If you want a fair game for your skill level then go play a casual game, because there is literally no difference between a casual player and a low/mid rank bot, their only role in a games ecosystem is to provide enough funding so that the higher elos can enjoy the game. Thats just how competitive games are. Low ranks are just stepping stone for high rank players to climb and get even higher. No one cares and no one should care about balancing for them because if you want balance at low level, git gud or play a casual game.

Another point to consider is that a lot of game studios are financially motivated to do top down balancing especially tittle which have huge esport base

just so you know you spelt response wrong in the title

The strats are still “working” because you’re plat. Thats basically bot lobbies. Secondly its hard to say anything you’re doing is working because if it was you’d climb.

the strats dont work anymore because lucio isnt overpowered anymore, so in a high elo lobby lucio cant just jump on enemy backline, kill someone and leave for free like he used to. legit think that eskay and frogger are just not very used to having lucio not be broken because he was broken for years and years. like this is hwo most other heroes are, sometimes they are really good and sometimes really bad. lucio has been always played for years because he has always been good.

Lmao as a genji main I luv this video

thank you dude

Genji is on that category that I hate for the fact that I need 10x more skill than him to kill him while he don’t need that much to kill u, like tracers and sombras, because high mobility makes him automatically harder to kill, his “secondary fire” is a literal shotgun spam and deflect is a shield that can take half hp of ur enemy and the other half is secundará fire and dash. When is a genji with a pocket mercy I wish they get SA by a Moira, mei, Zaria, sym and insane sleep Ana’s.

cool video, do you wat to do some 1v1s

Standard gold player opinion lmao. Learn the game before you complain.
