What nonsensical surprises will big daddy Blizzard drop on us? Rein swing damage doubled? Mei ult now freezes everyone OUTSIDE the radius rather than inside? Soldier clip size reduced by 3? Make your predictions!
They're going to overtune supports in a way that doesn't make them fun to play but does accidentally lead to a synergy that buffs the gently caress out of a DPS or Tank

Let's be serious here for a moment. The game has two large, humongous problems that seriously need to be addressed as soon as possible.

There are still some tanks left that have abilities that can protect other players, and there are still dps' left that cannot insta-kill supports yet.

I think it's about time skins start adding stats especially as we can't get them for free anymore.

Serious suggestion, they should buff Junker Queen's life steal. Having a Junker Queen in your face should be Extremely Bad News for everyone involved, instead of the minor irritation it is now.

Also, make Doomfist block ability block EVERYTHING. Beams, sleep darts, rocks, spears, just fuckin everything.

They need to buff JQ in a few ways but they also need to make her eat a goddamn burger. Hitbox is way too small for a tank

It's ridiculous that JQ and Ashe have exactly the same silhouette.

She's not actually all that tanky, though. I guess she's like Zen, but Tank-DPS instead of Heal-DPS.

The silhouette situation for the new characters is inexcusable, though.

I like Junker Queen quite a bit and I think I'm okay with her but yeah, compared to other tanks she's severely lacking. The only one who has it worse is Doomfist. With great heals you can do something but give any tank good heals and they can do that same something but much, much better. But yes, I agree with you guys that they really hosed up her profile for the role she supposedly plays - it flies in the face of good design. I like me tall, buff ladies as much as the next person but you have to design around the roles they are inhabiting first then focus on your fetish a distant second.

They won't be changing her profile so I think that severely limits what they can do with the character so long as she remains as a tank. If they buff her abilities then she'd get too powerful because she's much harder to hit than other tanks but if they don't then she's just a weak pick for the role. She's probably better suited to be moved to DPS and have some of her abilities retooled.

Thanks, Aaron! It's still too loving much and I hope whoever's responsible can get that concept through their thick skull sometime before the game joins Battleborn and Destiny 2 Y1 content in Lost Media Purgatory.

Chances are the people who came up with the monetization scheme and drip-feed premium currency amount won't be there post-merge (if it happens). If they are or the merge doesn't happen they won't be affected by the game collapsing in the slightest.

The psychological warfare they provide keeps giving long after the game is over, tho. Do they prosecute war crimes done in video games?

a big thing is that his ultimate is blocked completely by shields. So a monkey can bubble him, people can hide behind Rein or Sig shield and wait for the ult to expire

I think Roadhog is also gonna wreck him. But the other thing is that he can transition pretty well between ranged and brawl so maybe he can abuse positioning?

The thing about that though is while his ult is blocked, his punches aren't, and they still damage the shields. Couple that with his slow and people won't be able to run away as fast if they don't have a movement ability like sojourn.

Rammatras viability is going to come down to team composition. Do slows stack? If so, I think Ram, Sojourn, Mei, Mercy, Lucio/Ana would be a nasty team. Especially when Rammatra ults.

I love that there's more control based characters instead of just adding more DPS. I think people are going to get into some crazy shenanigans with Rammatra combos.
