bastion nerf was too much fat babies

Regarding the zarya bubble nerfs, Geoff commented here, https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20753565912?page=2#post-30 and then again after I asked him to clarify, https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20753565912?page=3#post-45

 

[Gorillaz]

Next hero is definitely defense

 

[Akuun]

I want Doomfist to be able to throw allies long distances, like the mech did in Titanfall 2.

 

[Data West]

There's already far too many DPS heroes compared to healing or tanks

and since the metas never been 4-1-1, I don't think they should add another defense hero

Posted in the other thread which I thought was this one.


Fortify is the perfect ability to introduce in the game right now. So much CC going on. This is the tank we needed and the one we deserved.

Nice, thank you. Whole Hog won't save you now, piggy! (not all the time anyway)

Does it block earth shatter and darts? That's what I'm interested in. If so hello new nano target. Wonder how much resistance fortify does.

Oh, so he has an assault rifle like Soldier 76?

Definitely yes on earth shatter. Not sure on sleep.

 

[racketpunch]

Haha fucking Reddit community. They're all bitching and moaning about how Bastion made it through PTR and then Jeff comes out with a comment and now they're all understanding. I think it was inexcusable to still push the Bastion changes out to production after the surplus of feedback/videos provided during the PTR.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Yes.

It's still stupid to me that Ana has no counter to her heal debuff

 

[Jellie]

Yes.

Damn. Looks like a good nano target then. If you fortify, can't get cc'd, most likely can't get killed. Maybe if their Ana grenades you then you might die. Can't run away since she'll alt fire.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Doesn't work on fortify I'm pretty sure.

 

[Skii]

If you get good with Orisa, you can make so many DPS ults way more effective with alt fire.

 

[QisTopTier]

That wont happen until we get a support hero with a cleanse skill which wont happen until we get a burn or poison based hero most likely

Zarya bubble.

Mercy should be able to do it, though.

Why does the Bastion nerf need to go on PTR?



Nah no way are gold/plat level players balancing the game. I reckon they're all GM/Master level.

Nah dude, fps devs commonly suck at the game. I would be really surprised if more than few where higher than 3.5

Looked up his bnet on overbuff. He's either 2000 or 3500 I think.

 

[antitrop]

Orisa can Fortify herself out of a Graviton Surge.

 

[blankempathy]

Damn regretting spending my points on a dva golden gun yesterday. "There won't be a new announced character for a while since they just started dropping hints" well Fuck. Orisa sounds like she fits my playstyle too.

 

[Data West]

does supercharger work with riptire?

 

[JHall]

Because only he can play this particular flavor of Symmetra

This guy gets it.

 

[antitrop]

does supercharger work with riptire?

Mercy's damage boost doesn't, so I would assume it wouldn't.

I assume it would work with things that Mercy's damage boost does, though, like Hanzo's ult.

 

[Owzers]

If everyone is an Orisa main how will i get to play her?

 

[Data West]

Fortify honestly seems like it counters to much stuff.

It's one of those things like Ana where it seems like she was designed to counter too many known things and it makes other heroes feel shallow at dealing with it.

Sombra is tailor made to destroy Orisa.

 

[Shake Appeal]

I don't know why they insist on making all the tanks (except Winston) so effective at dishing DPS. Just boost their utility/survive. By the looks of it, Orisa can do just about everything well except self-heal.

 

[Data West]

Sombra is tailor made to destroy Orisa.

but then you have Sombra so you're giving up a lot of other counters

I'm not saying shit after I whiffed so hard on Sombra being OP.

 

[Nuno Pinto]

You don't.

 

[Crimson_Justice]

I want Doomfist to be able to throw allies long distances, like the mech did in Titanfall 2.

This is my dream ability for him. I haven't thought much about if it's broken, but just imagine launching in an ulting McCree or Bastion.

Either way, he's probably not coming anytime soon. The fact that he wasn't originally intended to be playable makes me imagine they have several other heroes further along than him. I'm expecting him next year if he does come.

 

[LiK]

Junk's ability to melt barriers is gonna make him more useful for the chokes with Rein and Orisa tag team.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

You don't.

She's mine. Back off.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Correct.

Also, while Sombra is good against cooldown-heavy heroes in general, Orisa has a ton of health (200 health, 200 armor), a strong left-click, and an unhackable ult.

So Sombra can stop her doing a few things for six seconds, and can maybe use her an ult battery (but not as easily as Winston or Roadhog or D.Va).

Whoop-di-do.

Edit: On the other hand, Sombra and Orisa ulting together should allow for really quick, clean team wipes.

 

[Anne]

Orisa's DPS is going to be a lot lower than it looks. Calling it now. It's really good against large and slow targets though.

 

[Veelk]

While this sounds cool, it would be a bigger troll draw than Mei's walls. "Yeah, come on, get in my hand, I'll throw you over the enemy team"

*Throws teammate off the map*

 

[Data West]

just let reaper wraithform even when stunned

there i fixed him

 

[Owzers]

I only get main hand me downs, I'm Sombra now.

 

[Bumbletron]

Orisa's DPS is going to be a lot lower than it looks. Calling it now. It's really good against large and slow targets though.

Yeah, that is my thought, It is honestly super easy to dodge projectile based bullets at anything past like 10-15m.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Deal. As long as it's not you know who.

 

[Crimson_Justice]

Lol. Nano-boosted ulting Bastion directly into the freezing cold Volskaya waters.

Maybe you would have to accept him picking you up? Sounds clunky, but it's an option. Also I'd hope you wouldn't see it much in comp.

 

[Vitanimus]

Seems like a really cool hero. Her right click is super interesting, and I like the variety in her kit that distinguishes her heavily from Rein.

 

[Red Arremer]

I want Doomfist to be able to throw allies long distances, like the mech did in Titanfall 2.

I'd rather have one that throws enemies.

 

[Luke_Wal]

With the way they keep building up Doomfist, I wouldn't be surprised to see him headlining the game's first big expansion (which I'm assuming is a thing?). With the game being on consoles, they eventually need a new box on store shelves. Blizzard loves boxes, and a new set of heroes (6-8 at once?), a couple new stages, and maybe some sort of single player content (like character-specific challenges) would be a perfect way to put out a new box.
