I like the idea people had to put a damage debuff on Orb of Discord along with the defense debuff, though I think that damage debuff should probably only apply to damage dealt to the Zenyatta who placed the Orb (Discord is good enough as it is). That way Zenyatta doesn't just melt when a flanker manages to catch him out, or Widowmaker notices he exists, but he'd still be boned if the enemy team gangs up on him. Might even open up a new avenue of counterplay--a flanker attacking Zenyatta could force him to move his Orb of Discord off the tank just to save his own rear end.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen a Winston POTG. The only way I can even think of that you'd get one is if you ulted and managed to knock a bunch of people into a pit or something. He's just designed in such a way that getting big kill combos is super rare.

I've got 3 since I started playing him yesterday.

They are boring because you're basically just following people who fail to escape or fail to burst you down.

Just nerf Widowmaker damage instead, everyone will love the change. Have her deal like 125 Max on bodyshot and 5 Max for uncharged shots.

And fix Hanzo arrows; getting hit in the foot should not be a headshot.

That'll increase Zen's survivability a ton.

It's great for chasing and diving because you can focus on movement and positioning while dealing consistent damage then get the gently caress out

What do they need to do to D Va?


I say 1) increase damage slightly. Very slightly. 2) reduce countdown on her Ult so it goes off quicker. 3) reduce time out of mech

They need tally up the exact amount of ultimate you're giving the enemy team and put it in big flashing red numbers on your screen and at the end of the game so everyone knows you're the person to blame as to why the entire enemy team constantly had tactical visors and rocket barrages.

Ideally the most interesting thing to do with D'va would be to improve her out-of-mecha capabilities so rather than Fun mode and Boring But Effective mode you have two different fun modes you swap between.

Realistically they probably should reduce or remove the speed debuff when she's firing her guns and/or adjust the hitbox on her critical spot. I don't think her ult needs to be adjusted because even if it kills nobody it's a very powerful point-clearer. That said I think one tweak they should make would be to make Rein's shield not instantly negate all of it.

People were losing their poo poo when he did a killfeed video of him playing Hanzo with a pocket healer, which is probably second only to McCree in terms of "looks impressive but actually requires very little effort"

It legit depresses me when I get four gold medals as Soldier and a silver on healing because god drat what the gently caress are the rest of the team even doing. I know we have a Genji somewhere but he's a true master of stealth since I don't think we ever seen or heard from him once.

She is fine in a lot of ways, but her damage output is so low with her primary gun. I've flown right into other players faces and I couldn't burst them down before they turned a corner. More than anything, that needs to be fixed. That or her move speed while firing could be raised.

Last round I played I did 7.5K damage and only got 5 eliminations because of the other team having healers. Pretty sure I did 5K one time and only eliminated 2 people for the same reason.

They already mentioned that they want dva to be a harasser and that they are probably going to tune her speed rather than damage. I think her damage is fine, problem is that it drops off too fast and if the enemy is in a corner they can just run away and you wont catch them while firing. So either decrease the drop off, increase movement speed while firing, or have a more reliable method of locking people down.

Also unrealistic but I wish her E functioned like reins shield. Blocks ranged damage but isn't on a cooldown, instead you have like a focus gauge that is consumed while holding E drops off entirely when it runs out. Recovers as long as you arent using it.

movespeed while firing seems more desirable because it turns her into a chasing/harassing character and wont murder your squishies instantly (which is problematic as a tank), putting her into a similar role to winston

Widow's sniper mode being a manual reload would do a ton, I think. Being a semi-auto with such a short charge is ridiculous.

Her guns can actually do like ~150 dps if I remember correctly, it's just that it falls off so massively when you're not basically humping the target that you never get the full damage.

It's even more depressing as Bastion, imo, because it also means the enemy team was just as bad.



D.va's issues could be fixed if her gun (and Roadhog's!) were changed to shoot a bunch of projectiles that each do a flat amount of damage, rather than "everything in this circle takes damage based on how far away it is" which is dumb and bad. You'd get a similar effect when hitting targets at range but it more heavily rewards skill and punishes bad firing.

Damage falloff based on distance from the shooter is a bad mechanic in general.

I think people would pick up on the fact that you have a death-dealing heal machine like Zenyatta tearing up everyone and everything when paired up with Symmetra fairly quickly.

The fact is that healthpools in this game are at such a point where a tiny amount of extra, comparatively speaking, can make the world of difference. This is why Symmetra got nerfed from 50 shields to 25 because 200 health tracers and 250 Genjis were tearing up shop.

This is exactly why Symmetra needs to have her E reworked into a placeable buff station or something! Her shield is boring and impossible to balance properly.

Hah, I haven't gotten there yet, but I always choose Zenyatta for support and very rarely does someone decide to play another to boost it. I do it for a silly selfish reason, but hey, I am providing healing when no one else wanted to.

Shayed plays Mercy competitively and he is almost always playing with Shayed, so he almost always has a pocket healer. Seagull think it's boring to play the same character all the time (even if you're doing it for practice) or you'd see him sitting on Genji/McCree all day.

He's a really humble guy and is super chill to watch, he's really nothing like buzzcutpsycho.

I know she's weak but I'm really enjoying D.Va. People will also still die to her ult if you lob it somewhere on a parabola while in the air, and it is still always funny

The three main changes I'd like to see:
1.) slightly less falloff on her guns
2.) don't slow the mech down to a crawl when she's shooting -- that is absolute bullshit
3.) give zero suit dva a button other than left click -- a sprint or a roll would be real nice

So instead he mostly just plays Hanzo :v:

If I had one wish it would be more people streaming characters that aren't Genji, McCree and Hanzo.

:agreed: Being on the receiving end of a freeze hs is the most demoralizing thing. You just watch as they line up the hs and then boom your dead.

She might not be the best hero, but Mei is so much God drat fun to play. The first time you throw up a wall on a charging reinhardt or a McCree ultimate its literally the best thing.
