Pick up Overwatch again after a few months

>pick up Overwatch again after a few months
>Ana still unbalanced
She's been around for more than a year. How did they still not make her balanced?

It's Blizzard balancing. Their way of balancing is not aiming to make the game fair, but rather create a roster of characters that "take turns" in being OP and creating a small roster of "meta" characters.
Ana is getting a slight buff to her damage though, so I guess it's something

>best single-target heals from a purely numbers perspective
>but you have to hit ~80% of your shots or she drops off significantly
>damage is all dot so even if she manages to kill a flanker she's likely dead before it happens anyway
>lengthy disable to make up for her weak close-range game, but it depends on your teammates not being total retards
>ult that synergizes with basically every other ult in the game, but it's only as useful as the person you ult

In what way is Ana not balanced?

I hate blizzard balancing so fucking much.
Its why i quit wow in the first place.

heals heavily gated by reload and ammo management to a point where her heals in practice are far worse now that the nade heal rate got nerfed from months ago, heals completely unreliable since you have to aim and the fuck huge zoomed hitbox makes it easy for shots to be blocked by barriers and shields and other teammates

she has good utility but its so fucking hard for her to actually do her job and keep teammates alive when shes the only healer that is completely nullified by things blocking her way

...

LOL

Is nerf now the best thing to come out of brazil

Valve doing it right

She already has a buff in ptr

Your right, they need to nerf that grenade. Maybe 35% healing reduction will be fair.

When she's drawn light skinned light this she looks like my mom.

How to fix the healer supports

>Zenyatta
Fine as he is, maybe a tweak to his orb lingering on people.

>Lucio
Buff healing AMP and base movement speed slightly, have AMP recharge faster if you deal enough damage to shave a second or two

>Mercy
Have Resurrection work as it does now but make it require a resource similar to how Moira's healing will work (Heal a certain amount before you can use again)

>Ana
Buff her damage to 75 or 80, reduce her grenade damage from 60-->40
Sleep dart upon successful shot cooldown reduce from 12 to 9 seconds. Missed shot will be the full penalty.

can i see a picture of your mom?
for comparison of course

Zenyatta will never EVER be relevant again when Lucio, Mercy and now Moira drastically out-pace his movement. Every single one has some way of avoiding a flanker sneaking up on them, Zen just gets a fist up the ass.

>Buff top tier healer mom to further crush her daughters soul
this is why you are not in game dev

zen has damage and discord unironically get good

That's Pharah's problem, and shouldn't a Sniper be shooting her out of the sky regardless?

Zen can wreck shit on Genji and Tracer if you don't aim like a moron

No way bro, all my friends already want to fuck her and do inappropriate shit all the time, like openly hit on her and accidentally rub up on her. I don't need the internet masturbating to her too.

>Buff her damage to 75 or 80, reduce her grenade damage from 60-->40

But why though? She already 3shots 200hp heroes in the PTR.

Hey user you seem like a cool guy lets be friends ok I'll come over lots

No I definitely don't just want to molest your mom

That picture makes my dick unbalanced.

zen has the most damaging right click in the game

this but unironically
lets hang out and play vidya i defiantly won't try to fuck your mom, at least not before marriage and treating her like the pure maiden she is

>Zen has the second lowest support pickrate in comp, only ahead of Symmetra
HMM

its because he's the hardest support to play

takes alot of skill to play zen you actually have to aim and call out who your putting discord on

they actually made junk rat even more brain dead too

Stop playing Overwatch.

Yeah sure, it's totally not because

>He has zero mobility
>His healing is terrible
>His hitbox is fucked and is twice the size of his actual body

but its fun

75-80 damage literally changes nothing outside of being closer to killing 250 hp targets in 3 hits when combined with some random ass chip. Shes already going back up to 70

Meanwhile Mercy has seen the highest pickrate across all brackets for any support in the history of competitive mode.

Probably the most accurate comic I've seen.

Valve does it right because if every character is overpowered, then no hero/champion is a bad pick. If everything gets nerfed, then any slight adjustment makes half the cast obsolete.

his healing is fine as an off-healer which is what he is, his hitbox isnt twice the size of his body thats just a lie and his discord orb + his left and right clicks shit out ungodly amounts of damage if you can aim. Low mobility is his only downside and if it was buffed he would just be OP

no its actually because its hard as fuck to be a good zen what he lacks in mobility he makes up in offensive capitally and he's more a secondary healer

Check my 9 ratfucks

how the fuck is her knee and foot turned upside down? that's anatomically impossible, fucking retarded people that jerk off to cartoons and have never actually seen a real woman

>his healing is fine as an off-healer
This hasn't been a thing since Dive Meta took over. Literally every comp lineup is Tracer/Genji/Another Offense hero of choice like Soldier/Winston/Dva/Mercy or Lucio. This has been the average lineup since late last year and I'm fucking tired of it.

>This hasn't been a thing since Dive Meta
I've seen tons of people run zen/lucio you throw discord on a target and your tracer and genji or winston jump on them

>mfw when I see people playing as old granny ana

Granny Ana doesn't exist to me. She is a middle-aged nubile brown goddess. None of that grandma nonsense

No it isn't.
You're mistaking the fuzzy high of conformity along societal and corporate validation as "fun". There is no legitimate fun to be had in Overwatch, only a well-crafted illusion of it.

Doesn't happen in Masters/Grandmasters, I can say that for a fact with the last three seasons.

i know this post if ironic but imagine the elistest armchair theorist who actually think like this
I seen it in my own gm games the 3 last seasons of course since the mercy buff its only been mercy/lucio

Zen has had an increase in pickrate in GM because of how broken Mercy is. She draws all the attention for the opposing team, and her strong direct heal gives him a chance to shake off flankers.

How do you rationalize that when all of her voicelines are in grannyspeak?

i like what they did to Dva, all the changes since launch have been good for that character.
also i dont care much about the balance in overwatch, the game is casual as fuck it doesnt need to be balanced, kinda like Call of Duty or Titanfall 2 dont need to be balanced.

my biggest problem with the game is the community and the maps.

dem legs nice and thicc

With Lucio, what if they made it so his healing is increased as he wallrides? Would give him more of a skill based heal as opposed to yelling "STAY IN THE CIRCLE!"

I agree with the sleep dart change especially since she has no movement ability and I think they need to let zen discord through Rein and Orisa barriers.

ganny>milf

>...a game for idiots to poor cash...
>idiots... poor cash
Wew lad only 2 words apart

the biggest mistake blizzard made when designing the characters was giving Lucio the wallride.
what a fucking waste of a good mechanic.

Ana is your only complaint? There's a lot wrong with balance:
All healers but Mercy are shit because they don't heal nearly as much and can't rez, which is essentially another 100% instant heal.
D.va is a vertically mobile DPS class (thanks to the rockets), has tank HP, can absorb projectiles, has two lives, unlimited ammo, can knock back and comes with a room clearing ult. There's no counter to a D.va and she is viable for any map and composition.
Doomfist has no purpose as a Genji dives better and many other heroes throw enemies around better without being as vulnerable while doing it.
Bastion has no use as he's too easy to play around. The siege mode simply doesn't work as concept.
Tracer is too good a choice over other DPS heroes and you can bring her on pretty much all maps.
Sombra is shit because her gun is trash and her hack gets interrupted when taking damage, even though it already has a cast time with audio queue to give enemies time to react. Her ult by itself is useless and needs at least 2 other ults to do anything of value at which point there are many more viable 3-ult combinations to bringing a Sombra.
Junkrat is hard to counter and did get a totally unnecessary buff. You can't dive him, you can't snipe him as he shoots around corners and the ult got too easy to land without ult support from other heroes, giving him a near guarnteed kill without any risk.
Widowmaker is still annoying to deal with due to the lack of falloff damage and the way the game is designed around chokepoints to feed her easy kills.

This just leads to having the same comps over and over with very static (counter)plays. Due to the maps not being interactive/destructible it makes OW one hell of a boring game. It doesn't even get content, only skins so mentally ill people buy hundreds of lootboxes to gamble a bad day away (or make it worse).

Zen works best with super mobile teams. Pair him up with a good Winston and call out your discords and that's game.

It's cause they have NO idea what to do with it. That shit right there could make him the funnest support to play as if they made it work with his healing in some way

D.va is in great place balance wise, what the fuck are you on about?

She's no longer a defense matrix bot, and can actually counter Pharah shit so you don't have to hear shitters yell "PLS SWITCH TO 76/MCCREE"

Do not reply to any post that says Junkrat's ult has no risk

Also
>Bastion has no use
>Hasn't seen pirateship constantly since Junkertown launched
He's not even playing in competitive

The fact that they turned off Junkrat's self damage from his bombs is probably the worst part about him, not to mention his ult charge rate is high as FUCK.

4 well placed bombs and there goes another shit tire

>remove literally the only counterplay that pocket healing has
gee i wonder whos behind this post

That's true, it DOES charge too fast, but it's not no risk to use with genji in every game.

yeah i disagree with you about Dva too her counter is her giant fucking headshot hitbox
and sombra is the best she's ever been don't play her like tracer or genji and you should be fine also widow's viability scales depending on your aim

a dumbass mercy main considering his image

>Ana still unbalanced

Ana's actually the worst healer right now. Mercy is Overpowered and getting a nerf.

Honestly well over half the people who complain about Overwatch and balance have zero idea what they're talking about based on information from over a year ago from a bronze perspective.

>that fucking left foot

why would anyone put their signature on that

Zen is actually second highest after Mercy.

young Ana is one of the sexiest video game women ever made

You don't play Zenyatta for the healing. You play Zenyatta for the Discord and Transcendence.

>Ana Buff and Mercy Nerf will hit live in the same patch
>Moira too
When patch hits live, it will be a great time to reinstall

no she isnt, thats lucio
shes off-meta because she doesnt synergize with the other healers, not because she herself is in a bad place
cannot keep mercy up because her heal has to be aimed and she has no peel utility
cannot keep zen up for the same reasons
lucio is trash and doesnt work with anyone, only sees use on koth for rollouts
and you dont have any idea what the fuck youre talking about either given the reddit """meta""" graph youre posting like its indicative of anything but the person making it trying to push themselves as an authority by misrepresenting data intentionally to create a specific narrative

It's not as funny as it seems. Shit starts messing with your head, and wears you down having your friends openly trying to fuck your mom, and her just think it's funny. Then you start looking back at things that seem out of place. It honestly sucks.

i hope you enjoy quad tank because thats what youll be getting

>no she isn't that's lucio
t. 500> shitter
lucio has had on the most contestant pick rates because going fast is ridiculously powerful and sound barrier is basically a get out of jail free card for enemy ults

>no she isnt, thats lucio

Outdated.

Mercy's Res is so powerful that it has more utilitiy than Speed Boost, especially with the reduced radius of it. Teams are now synergizing around maximizing Mercy instead and pair her up mostly with Zen.

Over 2/3rds of pro teams these days are running Mercy/Zenyatta, Lucio is off meta right now (and will probably come back once Mercy nerf, Ana buff and Moria come into it.)

I could not disagree more. For some games that might work, but in the case of, say, R6 Siege that would be the death of the game on top of being absolute fucking cancer.

>mfw every operator gets a 50 mag high rof and accurate rifle/smg and is now 3 speed

Spot the fatty

Seriously though, there's always some fat fuck who comments on anatomy because they can't fucking move their limbs like a normal person and are astonished when they see normal range of motion in an image

I agree about Junkrat. I don't get why they buffed him so much. Now he does a disgusting amount of damage, and his riptire basically guarantees a kill about 95% of the time, not to mention the fact that he gets his ult like at least 5 times a game.

>roadhog will never be brought back from nerf hell in your lifetime

...

I think we can all agree that Ana SHOULD be the most powerful healer because she actually requires more than the rest. (I haven't played Moira yet so I can't say about her)

>tfw you'll never impregnate Ana

you know what you must do, show your dominance to your friend and take her for yourself

>Ana will never tranquilise you, tie you up and bind you to a bed, then assist Pharah as she eagerly awaits the grandchild she's been hoping for

>The siege mode simply doesn't work as concept.

You clearly didn't see Canada wreck South Korea using Rein, Orisa, Bastion and Mercy core comp.

Then you played wow for the wrong reasons.

lmao
you do not even play the game anymore if you think thats still the case
or youre dwelling in some low mmr hellhole where they think "meta" is still lucio on all maps and try to force him in all situations

he absolutely isnt coming back, theres no reason for him to
the healer duo post-moira patch will 100% be moira/ana
antiheal matters way more in terms of dealing with moiras retarded heal output than speed boost does, speed is meaningless when your and the enemy team are invincible

I only played OW in the open beta. What changed with in Mercy's ult?

That's impossible

Blizzard can not balance the game better than a shitty company like Hi-rez

get off Sup Forums, freud

Burst healing can be considered far more important. Lucio is like the opposite of Ana in that regard.

all female characters must be gud to keep the playerbase high

and what do you know, the newest character is female and has a lockon attack

>two shield characters
>melt robot that cannot be shot
>and the most overpowered character in the game

holy fucking shit even after that people still think this shit game is """""""competitive""""""" and requires any bit of skill to play

fuckin esports man

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up still being Mercy/Zenyatta after the patch, and all it does is maybe give some more parity to the other healers. It'd crack the meta without necessarily shattering it.

I wanna fuck young ana

dont get me wrong, zens still "good", as in discord is still broken, but they dont have any real reason to be paired together
moiras niche is vomiting on the entire team at once, requiring a hard deathball, while zen requires forward pressure characters like tracer and genji to capitalize on him spamming e like a spastic, and they will have an extremely tough time dealing with moira alone, along with the plethora of tanks that will be with her, along with ana now having the damage to duel the effectively again, its just not a good situation for him

It's not an ult anymore, it's an ability with a 30 second cooldown, and can only res one person at a time. Her new ult pretty much is like giving herself a nano and insane mobility and I think cutting down cooldowns and resetting them.

And her mobility is so great that even a lot of pros can't reliably shoot her down, they'll often have to use Tactical Visor or Dead Eye for her.

So you'll see lots of people get picked, Mercy dives in, Res the pick and instantly fly back off, or in tougher team fights, she's bust out the ult and res 2 people instantly, and healing.

So instead of undoing some sort of team wipe, she now just stops snowballing, she stops people from being really able to get a pick, and roll people 5v6 with her res, and it's super noticable if one team has a mercy and the other doesn't, one team just feels like you can never break them since you effectively can't make picks, and they can. You're now entirely dependent on getting solid team wipes, since there's no snowballing.

>Valve
More like
>nerf heroes that don't even get picked.

You know, Canada lost, right, like the overall match?

You people just cry just to cry because people don't play Quake or Counterstrike 1.6 anymore.

Just
Kill
Mercy

>Just have perfect aim dude haha it's not even a problem

>as in discord is still broken

What's broken about it?
