I don't know anymore, game legit just feels like they have 0 direction on where they want it to go, these patches have really started to feel like patches for the sake of patches rather than actually guiding the game to a place they want it to be. Also, Winston ult nerf is huge, you really feel it in game man, ughhhh. :/ Whats your thoughts on the patch?
Really putting the mid in mid season patch. These last few patches have been the patch before the big update. I’m really sad we didn’t get a 6v6 patch. I would’ve preferred that over a nothing burger patch.
The real patch is the Ow classic dps doom patch. The main thing in excited for except for drive event. If only they put 6v6 in comp so I could actually enjoy it more 😅
We nerf Ana but they don't even touch Moira??? These devs are hopeless. I'm glad you pointed out the shop not working. Blizz is incompetent. Thanks for covering patches like usual.
i’m thinking like a money greedy company here promote skins to heros they barely play at a discounted price barely played hero’s means barely any skins purchased meaning if they decided to purchase one skin they might buy another one when i bought the kiri mythic i forced myself to learn kiri cuz it would be a waste. now i sometimes think of buying new skins for her. luckily im good at not giving blizzard my money
What are they doing? They get their ass beat by rivals and this is the patch they release? If I were them, I would instantly launch ow classic and release new patchnotes for 6v6, as well as a 6v6 ranked mode! Those things can't be that hard and not to mention how lost they are when it comes to their own game and balancing it... Why don't they just ask the community or the few pros who are still left playing it for advice or make polls or smth? It amazes me how incompetent they are
they have ego the size of the sun, it required a whole new game directly competing with them to entertain the idea of 6v6, there is no hope for them. nothing players say has any effect on them, only real way they will actually listen to the player is if players talk with their wallet and just stop buying anything in overwatch unless they do what players ask but something like is just not going to happen as the content creator who have the power to organise anything like that would rather just keep kissing devs ss while the playerbase keep getting smaller and game keeps getting worse then finally when some new shiny things comes out, abandon the game.
6v6 won't save the game when they cannot balance the game, no format change or any other change to the game will save OW when they are clueless with the balancing. Instead of a update we got a 40$ ashe weapon skin so we already know where their priorities lies.
I swear the Overwatch dev team must be deciding balance changes by getting drunk and throwing darts at a board and the only things on the board are changes no one wanted
If just like to point out regarding the mythic weapons that out of 4 of them 3 went to characters that already have mythic skins Solider mythic next season confirmed?!?! But for real, these patch notes don't really give the desire to play ow again
OW is too scared to shake anything up or take any chances and the only reason i can think of is because of pro play. They literally never bring anything exciting to the table
Abby, I gotta disagree with you that ana is not so strong. She's the most picked support in top500 on all 3 regions. Not that it's a bad thing. I agree she's well designed, but still, she's not weak.
I am only a plat player so take what I say with a grain of salt but Ana is pretty much in every one of my games and for me at least Ana is the only support I fear because getting slept can get me instantly killed.
Just gonna point it out cause I found it a bit funny, when you mentioned about the new 6v6 test, you said that there's no patch notes, but it clearly said above where you looked when the test was happening that the new test is using the 2-2-2 balance changes.
I got 5 tank discounts on mine even though I haven’t played tank in months. Two of them was Reinhardt and wreaking ball and those two are my least played heroes in general. Doesn’t matter because I wasn’t gonna buy either way but still. They made it sound revolutionary like if it was a massive discount for a limited time. I was assuming like at least 75% off but most are just around 20% off. Another blizzard L. At least we have a new star lord fit and game mode to look forward to elsewhere.
Nerfing ana while not nerfing kiriko is diabolical Edit: also, nerfing ana cus she was "highly impactful" while not providing the stats that they so highly rely on to back up this "highly impactful" sure is convenient. Now everyone that played ana would just go kiri moira juno and just flat out get more value
They just constantly return to the problem they tried to solve bro this is insane, they nerfed heals and buffed hp pools in season 9 and they procceded to buff everyones damage and healing every patch after 😭😭
Very disappointing patch, it’s a shame genji didn’t get touched but then again they hate the character Also went to queue in the new 6v6 1 min max 3 and didn’t even find a game after 25 minutes of queuing !!!
@@pasteldad39 tbh they could start with blade either decreasing the ult cost around 10% or do the damage back up to 120. 110 blade isn’t bad tbh but it takes so long to charge which doesn’t feel right. Shurikens could do with just the +1 dmg back to 28 and touch nothing else to help the neutral fights for genji
@@pasteldad39 as far as im aware, he fits in well with a hazard dive comp, and hazard is by far the most played tank in top500 which is why genji appears to be a top tier hero
I'm so happy Rivals is out and I'm enjoying it. Nerfed a few characters I loved and gave unnecessary buffs to others for no reason. Literally only playing the game to finish my battle pass and nothing else.
I have said this for years in my inner circle of friends, Team 4 or whoever the devs are nowadays, don't actually play their game. If they did these pat h notes and previous patch notes would be way way different
As a tank player, my one wish is for them to actually nerf healing numbers. That's all I want. That's all I've wanted for over a year now, and they just can't seem to want to nerf healing
The fact that they live in their own bubble and can't seem to snap out of it... gee what the hell with these patch notes. Anyway, the night market nailed a single one of the skins it showed me, the omnic junkrat skin. So i guess that's something? 🙄
I swear the devs are just throwing shit at a dartboard and just saying “yeah that’ll work” everytime they come out with patches at this point. Like this vault is worthless because I can get a skin I already own, why is that even possible? They’re really out of touch
I main Ana and Pharah. I opened the vault and got 1 Ana skin and 4 Kiriko skins. So i decided to play 2 games of quick play, after not playing since beginning of the widow maker mythic season and in both games the worlds best widow maker was on the other team literally just running down the entire lobby solo. This game is so awful
at this point i just wish they would fire everyone on team4 ik its mean and all but overwatch really seems like its going nowhere and that theyre not even trying
last year was good man idk we got good heroes and maps for once though the balance was pretty bad as usual. Remember its a different team than the one who made the pve promises
@anonymous01201 i mean content wise the team is "fine", its just the balance team thats dragging the game into the grave, somehow worse than the years before ow2
Man I just wish we would have different dps be good. Feels like If im not on soj ashe widow tracer Im throwing or atleast making it much harder for myself. It’s been like this forever. I don’t like the state of how we get a flavor of the month op ass tank and or supp(s) but atleast it changes and theres more variety. I literally feel no reason to play the game anymore as a dps player and as a genji player. It just feels as I can do nothing, Im just relying on my teammates and If I do want to have impact I have to play some boring braindead op heroes which for me personally is not enjoyable.
yeah pretty much its just widow now if you want any play making potential... and widow isnt always fun or playable if youre getting counter picked so youre forced onto cassidy, which barely even has any solo impact due to the health pools ur just helping the team with damage
@@TR-ju5re You do understand that winrate doesn't entail the whole story of how a hero is performing right? Genji's winrate is one of the most skewed of any hero. The little timmy's can't play this hero and get value so only the masters of the hero play him, whereas other heroes everyone plays them and they have not mastered the hero as well. Winrate's and pickrates don't tell us much. More about the gameplay and the other meta heroes. He hasn't been changed one bit in over a year but he has gone from a throw pick to now one of the best dps? Im a masters 2 genji myself so not rlly a skill issue just saying It's much more difficult to extract value on him compared to other heroes and the dps role as a whole is pretty stale.
@@TR-ju5re Also based off your winrate thing Tracer currently has the highest winrate in GM yet she got buffed? This is what I mean you can't just go off winrates as they can mean vastly different things per role, hero, rank, playstyle, job, etc.
They should have launched classic with this patch instead of waiting for February, the last classic event was 3 weeks and this one is only going for 2 weeks. Just seems strange. Maybe they'll end up extending this classic event for another week or something.
5:53 i feel like the devs will buff each dps character with something good but symmetra. Symmetra and genji getting ignored and forgotten. They are not allowed to be good! Live a teleporter buff from last time does absouletly nothing cause that wasnt her problem, Symettras orbs have a long time to kill because people will get healed in between the last shot u need while the orb travels and u charge it up. Also a bunch of healing makes level 3 beam USELESS. If someone is healed by moira , symmetra is useless. Her beam cannot break through heals
like i love Juno but nerfing her Ult time is crazy when its hard to get value from it. Nerfing the damage bost on it is stupid too. Juno healing isnt reallyy a problem in this game. She already has heal fall off, they want her to be useless and moira can do whatever she wants. They couldnt re-arranged her kit but nope
The vault shouldn't matter if you are dissatisfied with the game. No one should spend money on OW2 right now. Blizzard doesn't deserve your money with the current state of the game.
instead of fixing the problem they themselves created in season 9 (hp, hitbox,projectile) , they keep buffing the wrong things on hero that are negatively affected by it (while also not even address the heros that they dont like). instead of reverting s9 changes, or actually equally increasing just the damage/healing of everything that should have happened properly in s9 when they wanted more hp points increment option(basically 25 + OR 25 -) instead of 50. but instead they royally screwed the whole game. s9 change - they made hitting shots without having good aim way easier , decreasing skill expression , making game more brain dead - theydidn't increase damage/heal ability of every hero relatively equally , they basically used the s9 to make game more accessible (easier for worse player) decreasing the value of aim as well as value of positioning, not realizing that people would enjoy their game way less because of this and leave. - they increased the time to kill on most of the heros, severly decreasing the individual ability to affect the game's outcome. - they put more passive value in the game instead of value you have to earn by being proactive, for example instead of dps getting proper compensation(more relative damage) for the higher hp and healing now in game after s9. they gave passive healing recieved reduction to enemy hit by dps players(automatic , no skill value that doesn't even apply equally to all dps) - more hp wasn't relatively increased across all heros equally either , some heros benefited way more by the extra hp while for other it didn't affect them much. i can continue writing more points but since s9 wasn't reverted, i dont see a reason to even play this game. the worst thing about overwatch is that they will create problem themselves (season 9 as well 6v6) then spend years trying (terribly) to fix the problem they themselves created instead of just admit they messed up and be humble and revert back, but nope that will never happen they would rather ruin their own game then admit they made a mistake and revert.
"Since Sombra, after her 15th rework, wasnt as good against Widow we needed another Sniper to compete with her... but we cant design snipers in our game correctly. SO we decided to turn Tracer into one along with Orisa. :)" Also the 1 second leap cd nerf is Blizzard equivalent of "We removed 5move speed from Irelia to keep her in check" when she was at her prime in League after she got reworked. Its gonna do jackshit just make the character slightly more annoying to play as while the frustration you get when you play AGAINST him is gonna remain unchanged.
Sad patch, logged in for the min 1 max 3, queued into a hog, mauga, hazard comp. finished that game, hopped off, and went back to rivals. Didnt even look at the shop, idc about the shop or skins, the gameplay loop has become braindead. bring hero bans. Nerf tanks, go to 6v6 open, nerf hp pools. Just literally do what rivals did, it feels so much better. or, in a 5v5 format, each tank bans 3 heroes, and saves 1. I logged in after not playing for 2 months, and within 1 game, which was a 5 min queue for the new ruleset, I wasnt having fun.
What is OW doing? Simple, trying to get players back from Marvel Rivals because they lose even more player base every day/week/year! This makes me laugh so hard😂
IMO the only decent things abt this patch were the two nerfs to Juno ult. Ana nerf is an overcorrection to the random buff they gave her a while ago. Illari buff does nothing. Winston adjustment is ugly. Hazard nerf is a joke! Ram buff is ok. Echo buff does nothing. A mf-ing Tracer buff?! *Sigh… No buff to the literal throw pick supports like LW or Mercy either. No hitscan dps nerfs either. Just a whole lot of nothing yet again…
I don't understand Winston's changes. If it's a buff to his Jump+Rail+Melee cancel, that's really good. I use it all the time. But I doubt the devs are smart enough to even know about this tech...
@ it’s not a big enough buff to justify the HUUUUUUGE ult nerf. I understand that it’s supposed to balance out the damage buff, but you really feel it in game. Unless you actively change your play style to spend far more time poking with rail, it doesn’t feel good at all.
Blizzard had to make the game easier for new players. This opens up wallets. I doubt if someone had to play OW1 and learn positioning and game sense. They probably wouldn't play as much or spend money. This in return gives new players over inflated egos and reward for half the skill what OW1 required.
Idk man I thought this patch was generally pretty good, far far better than the atrocity that was the patch at the start of the season, only changes I'm not a fan of are the Ana and primal nerfs. Unrealistic to expect a perfect patch every time. You're the only one I've heard complaining about it to this extent tbh, the general sentiment online seems to be positive.
ok dont get me wrong, im a tracer main, i want tracer to be strong... **BUT** what is this change? who asked for this? this has nothing to do with her core identity as an assassin, shes supposed to be a high damage close range assassin like how genji used to be, the way to fix that is the health pools but they just keep beating around the bush... even for winston's change in the developer comment they said that dive has been greatly impacted by the health pool changes but they refuse to revert them and instead make dumb compensations for things that were never needed in the first place
I think the real problem is that they don’t have any rules when it comes to breakpoints. Damage wise, Health Wise, Or healing wise. They just seem to move whatever bar on whatever given character at whatever time. If I was in charge, I’d look into Time to Kill for all characters when it comes to killing a 250 health target with no armor. After establishing this Time to Kill. I would make sure all characters are adjusted in line with that equally. Then I’d adjust tank health. Establish where I want the Time to Kill to be on Non-Armor Tanks and then for Armored tanks adjust accordingly. And lastly healing, which I’d base off Time To Kill and have healing always 75% - 80% in comparison. Meaning healing cannot out heal someone’s breakpoints if all shots and all healing are landed. For Tanks, no changes but Instead I’d probably make health packs heal them more. Now would this fix things? Probably not and I have no idea, but I would definitely just try to make some structure that this game seems to lack. Nothing is consistent.
tracer feels good after this patch, idk about how shes "unbalanced", she feels fun to play, and the entry level for a hero should be fun to play, she shouldnt ONLY be enjoyable when you're good at her.
she felt fun to play before this? she is a fun character even if you are a garbage at her and this buff essentially just makes her even more broken considering almost every top 500 damage player has tracer in their most played
@ her damage against characters above 225 health feels negligible, and that’s with a 50% accuracy, which for a character who shoots as many bullets as she does is pretty decent. Having to literally jump down their throats to kill somebody is not fun if you are picking up tracer for the first time, and still learning the character from scratch. If the abilities are going to as hard to utilise and master as they are, the primary fire shouldn’t feel like a limp noodle.
@ also it’s about how IMPACTFUL you feel, when I played tracer before, the amount of effort you put in, compared to the reward you got felt negligible, now she feels fun, and you’re able to position yourself more carefully without being completely relying on pre-learnt knowledge of positioning SPECIFICALLY on that character. More range on every character is a good thing, taking away Cassidy’s range is honestly what made me hate playing him, and I used to one trick the guy. Adding to tracers range has improved the flow of her gameplay tremendously, and honestly I don’t think she needs nerfs. It’s just that the characters around her need buffs. She’s skillful, and deserves to be a top contender for best in the game if played at her best, while still being a good character when played by somebody bad.
Hot take. Ana shouldn't exist in current state because she breaks ow2 philosophy. She's the only not tank hero that has hard cc and it's just should not happen. Blizzard not scared to kill identity of many heroes in roster, but not ana and widow (btw, ana breaks more rules by having hitscan attack with no damage falloff) And most divable is crazy. She has 3 or 5 seconds cc, self heal and damage with big hitboxes in close distances. She at least as divable as Zen, maybe even less
Ana should have been hit harder bro Ana can win 95% of team fights with her sleep or anti nade she's overtuned af ntm her abilities can make the majority of tanks unplayable is ridiculous are you even defending her
Yall really complaining abbout tracer buffs? Gtfo here lol. Yall are just lost. This game.has many problems, buffing tracer or genji or echo isnt one of them.
They don't respect your time. Play something else if you want overwatch to be better. If you continue to play this game ,respectfully, you are the problem.
I think this review is pure grift. This has been the best patch in a while except the tracer buff is a little much. The winston buff is correct. Genji is the second best dps why do you think he needs a buff? Delusion Ana needs help? Shes op rn? Are you completely disconnected from the game?!
Bro you're so on point about the Dev team. This guys are probably Brainrot + Woke devs or Too old to even understood the game. At least now we have Marvel Rivals, not a perfect game, But at least IT'S PLAYABLE.

@@TR-ju5re Also based off your winrate thing Tracer currently has the highest winrate in GM yet she got buffed? This is what I mean you can't just go off winrates as they can mean vastly different things per role, hero, rank, playstyle, job, etc.
@@TR-ju5rewidow has a 41% win rate in gm, with a
still no removal of passives and hitbox changes for 6v6 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They should have launched classic with this patch instead of waiting for February, the last classic event was 3 weeks and this one is only going for 2 weeks. Just seems strange. Maybe they'll end up extending this classic event for another week or something.
5:53 i feel like the devs will buff each dps character with something good but symmetra. Symmetra and genji getting ignored and forgotten. They are not allowed to be good! Live a teleporter buff from last time does absouletly nothing cause that wasnt her problem, Symettras orbs have a long time to kill because people will get healed in between the last shot u need while the orb travels and u charge it up. Also a bunch of healing makes level 3 beam USELESS. If someone is healed by moira , symmetra is useless. Her beam cannot break through heals
Man if they're tailored for me it's gonna be a major disappointment because I already have skins for the heroes I play
like i love Juno but nerfing her Ult time is crazy when its hard to get value from it. Nerfing the damage bost on it is stupid too. Juno healing isnt reallyy a problem in this game. She already has heal fall off, they want her to be useless and moira can do whatever she wants. They couldnt re-arranged her kit but nope
The vault shouldn't matter if you are dissatisfied with the game. No one should spend money on OW2 right now. Blizzard doesn't deserve your money with the current state of the game.
instead of fixing the problem they themselves created in season 9 (hp, hitbox,projectile) , they keep buffing the wrong things on hero that are negatively affected by it (while also not even address the heros that they dont like).
instead of reverting s9 changes, or actually equally increasing just the damage/healing of everything that should have happened properly in s9 when they wanted more hp points increment option(basically 25 + OR 25 -) instead of 50. but instead they royally screwed the whole game.
s9 change
- they made hitting shots without having good aim way easier , decreasing skill expression , making game more brain dead
- theydidn't increase damage/heal ability of every hero relatively equally , they basically used the s9 to make game more accessible (easier for worse player) decreasing the value of aim as well as value of positioning, not realizing that people would enjoy their game way less because of this and leave.
- they increased the time to kill on most of the heros, severly decreasing the individual ability to affect the game's outcome.
- they put more passive value in the game instead of value you have to earn by being proactive, for example instead of dps getting proper compensation(more relative damage) for the higher hp and healing now in game after s9. they gave passive healing recieved reduction to enemy hit by dps players(automatic , no skill value that doesn't even apply equally to all dps)
- more hp wasn't relatively increased across all heros equally either , some heros benefited way more by the extra hp while for other it didn't affect them much.
i can continue writing more points but since s9 wasn't reverted, i dont see a reason to even play this game.
the worst thing about overwatch is that they will create problem themselves (season 9 as well 6v6) then spend years trying (terribly) to fix the problem they themselves created instead of just admit they messed up and be humble and revert back, but nope that will never happen they would rather ruin their own game then admit they made a mistake and revert.
They have competition they simply can't compete.
This is worse than the JQ gigabuff patch. Who is turning these knobs? Crazy.
wow who could have seen this coming? literally everyone.
i just lost faith man they have 0 idea of what they're doing
"Since Sombra, after her 15th rework, wasnt as good against Widow we needed another Sniper to compete with her... but we cant design snipers in our game correctly. SO we decided to turn Tracer into one along with Orisa. :)"
Also the 1 second leap cd nerf is Blizzard equivalent of "We removed 5move speed from Irelia to keep her in check" when she was at her prime in League after she got reworked. Its gonna do jackshit just make the character slightly more annoying to play as while the frustration you get when you play AGAINST him is gonna remain unchanged.
Sad patch, logged in for the min 1 max 3, queued into a hog, mauga, hazard comp. finished that game, hopped off, and went back to rivals. Didnt even look at the shop, idc about the shop or skins, the gameplay loop has become braindead. bring hero bans. Nerf tanks, go to 6v6 open, nerf hp pools. Just literally do what rivals did, it feels so much better. or, in a 5v5 format, each tank bans 3 heroes, and saves 1. I logged in after not playing for 2 months, and within 1 game, which was a 5 min queue for the new ruleset, I wasnt having fun.
They need to find someone else to balance this game.
Still no rein buffs but plenty of flc hero buffs fire the devs already. Rivals is proof devs that care will make a great game
What is OW doing? Simple, trying to get players back from Marvel Rivals because they lose even more player base every day/week/year! This makes me laugh so hard😂
You know, this patch is so horrible that some of the hot takes from gold players sound reasonable in comparison.
Maximillien's Vault suuuuuuckks
IMO the only decent things abt this patch were the two nerfs to Juno ult.
Ana nerf is an overcorrection to the random buff they gave her a while ago.
Illari buff does nothing.
Winston adjustment is ugly.
Hazard nerf is a joke!
Ram buff is ok.
Echo buff does nothing.
A mf-ing Tracer buff?! *Sigh…
No buff to the literal throw pick supports like LW or Mercy either.
No hitscan dps nerfs either.
Just a whole lot of nothing yet again…
As a Ana main this is just sad, makes me feel like playing it even less
Dont see Overwatch for what it could be see it for the disappointment it really is 😅
I think the devs also switched to rivals because whoever made these patch notes are so out of touch of the game
No genji buff, no soj nerf, no widow nerf, nerfing the cleanest part of hazards kit, ridiculous Ana and Winston nerfs, bizarre. Just bizarre.
I don't understand Winston's changes. If it's a buff to his Jump+Rail+Melee cancel, that's really good. I use it all the time. But I doubt the devs are smart enough to even know about this tech...
Genji is fine
Genji does not need a buff
Don’t mistake your skill issue for a hero being weak
@ I don’t play genji, but the general consensus from most players I hear is that genji needs a buff. I’m a tank main
@ it’s not a big enough buff to justify the HUUUUUUGE ult nerf. I understand that it’s supposed to balance out the damage buff, but you really feel it in game. Unless you actively change your play style to spend far more time poking with rail, it doesn’t feel good at all.
Buff genji challenge: impossible
I dont think overwatch has a clear direciton in how they want to manage the game.
Mercy is my second most played hero (after dva) and I got 5 mercy skins in vault lmao
cant believe this is it for ow2. kind of sad, but oh well.
Blizzard had to make the game easier for new players. This opens up wallets. I doubt if someone had to play OW1 and learn positioning and game sense. They probably wouldn't play as much or spend money.
This in return gives new players over inflated egos and reward for half the skill what OW1 required.
best pach of the month
Between this month being a 55% wr in GM and last 3 months being a 51%....Genji isn't getting buffed anytime soon
If they’re going off win rate in gm widow is going to get buffed again with that 41.5% wr
Oh wow another hot mess. I recently quit this as my main game and started playing counter strike again. No regrets! i’m having a blast
Lmao Blizzard needs to take a page outta Marcel fr fr
Only really care about overwatch classic here
Idk man I thought this patch was generally pretty good, far far better than the atrocity that was the patch at the start of the season, only changes I'm not a fan of are the Ana and primal nerfs. Unrealistic to expect a perfect patch every time. You're the only one I've heard complaining about it to this extent tbh, the general sentiment online seems to be positive.
I miss the 6v6 arcade mode whyd they remove it
it was literally the only fun mode in the game :(
ok dont get me wrong, im a tracer main, i want tracer to be strong... **BUT** what is this change? who asked for this? this has nothing to do with her core identity as an assassin, shes supposed to be a high damage close range assassin like how genji used to be, the way to fix that is the health pools but they just keep beating around the bush... even for winston's change in the developer comment they said that dive has been greatly impacted by the health pool changes but they refuse to revert them and instead make dumb compensations for things that were never needed in the first place
I think the real problem is that they don’t have any rules when it comes to breakpoints. Damage wise, Health Wise, Or healing wise. They just seem to move whatever bar on whatever given character at whatever time.
If I was in charge, I’d look into Time to Kill for all characters when it comes to killing a 250 health target with no armor. After establishing this Time to Kill. I would make sure all characters are adjusted in line with that equally. Then I’d adjust tank health. Establish where I want the Time to Kill to be on Non-Armor Tanks and then for Armored tanks adjust accordingly.
And lastly healing, which I’d base off Time To Kill and have healing always 75% - 80% in comparison. Meaning healing cannot out heal someone’s breakpoints if all shots and all healing are landed.
For Tanks, no changes but Instead I’d probably make health packs heal them more.
Now would this fix things? Probably not and I have no idea, but I would definitely just try to make some structure that this game seems to lack. Nothing is consistent.
Here I thought rivals will force this game to change into a better direction
Yeah I am not reinstalling this game
tracer feels good after this patch, idk about how shes "unbalanced", she feels fun to play, and the entry level for a hero should be fun to play, she shouldnt ONLY be enjoyable when you're good at her.
she felt fun to play before this? she is a fun character even if you are a garbage at her and this buff essentially just makes her even more broken considering almost every top 500 damage player has tracer in their most played
@ her damage against characters above 225 health feels negligible, and that’s with a 50% accuracy, which for a character who shoots as many bullets as she does is pretty decent. Having to literally jump down their throats to kill somebody is not fun if you are picking up tracer for the first time, and still learning the character from scratch. If the abilities are going to as hard to utilise and master as they are, the primary fire shouldn’t feel like a limp noodle.
@ also it’s about how IMPACTFUL you feel, when I played tracer before, the amount of effort you put in, compared to the reward you got felt negligible, now she feels fun, and you’re able to position yourself more carefully without being completely relying on pre-learnt knowledge of positioning SPECIFICALLY on that character. More range on every character is a good thing, taking away Cassidy’s range is honestly what made me hate playing him, and I used to one trick the guy. Adding to tracers range has improved the flow of her gameplay tremendously, and honestly I don’t think she needs nerfs. It’s just that the characters around her need buffs. She’s skillful, and deserves to be a top contender for best in the game if played at her best, while still being a good character when played by somebody bad.
Ram needs his block reworked into something else, it's a terrible ability and with a different, good ability he would be a great tank to play
The best part is putting the moth meta in the patch notes but not adding it like why are you still lying at least go out like a man
Tracer is buffed but not genji? Yea im not going back to this game😂
BORN AGAIN
Wait until this guy finds about Marvel Rivals
Wait until you click my channel to see what other games I play.
This patch proves they haven't learned anything. They still going to patch the game for bronze players. They deserve the Ls they are taking
Looks like they are taking from League of Legends for selling skins.
Hot take. Ana shouldn't exist in current state because she breaks ow2 philosophy. She's the only not tank hero that has hard cc and it's just should not happen. Blizzard not scared to kill identity of many heroes in roster, but not ana and widow (btw, ana breaks more rules by having hitscan attack with no damage falloff)
And most divable is crazy. She has 3 or 5 seconds cc, self heal and damage with big hitboxes in close distances. She at least as divable as Zen, maybe even less
The difference between this and spilo's patch reaction is crazy😭
Ana should have been hit harder bro Ana can win 95% of team fights with her sleep or anti nade she's overtuned af ntm her abilities can make the majority of tanks unplayable is ridiculous are you even defending her
Yall really complaining abbout tracer buffs? Gtfo here lol. Yall are just lost. This game.has many problems, buffing tracer or genji or echo isnt one of them.
They don't respect your time. Play something else if you want overwatch to be better. If you continue to play this game ,respectfully, you are the problem.
Ow is balancing stuff good, you just hating for hating sake, stop eith this negativity
I think this review is pure grift. This has been the best patch in a while except the tracer buff is a little much. The winston buff is correct.
Genji is the second best dps why do you think he needs a buff? Delusion
Ana needs help? Shes op rn? Are you completely disconnected from the game?!
The game is broken and not even working blizzard bootlicker for 5-7 hours straight & the devs or twitter account haven't said a word about it.🫵🤡
Bro you're so on point about the Dev team. This guys are probably Brainrot + Woke devs or Too old to even understood the game. At least now we have Marvel Rivals, not a perfect game, But at least IT'S PLAYABLE.
First?
