Maybe it can also mean that every other hero is bad and the game is poorly balanced in the first place.
I agree with 100% pickrate would be broken, OP or whatever. That’s obviously not the case not even with briketté.
That’s not the point. The point is that her whole existence is unfun to play against due to the things she can do and it feels unfair.
I just copy paste what I said earlier.
No other hero is annoying as her. Well maybe widowmaker and hanzo because I hate these heroes. And hanzo even more now due to the stupid change.
Toupher, your overall picture of the health of this game and it’s directions are pretty weak. Take a game like LoL that’s been played for almost 10 years now.
They got 140 heroes and you think that games well balanced? Absolutely not, some heroes are trash tier, while others make up meta.
OW, is far more balanced in comparison. LoL has shown us it’s not just hero balance that defines the success of a game, it’s about change.
And change keeps the players interested in a game, because notions that they took for certain few months ago, are suddenly gone, and people learn and adapt every time. That’s how you make a game successful.
Brig was part of that change, that gave this game a freshness. Your way too tunnel visioned to realize that.
The game gets more unbalanced with every new hero released. That’s how it works. The more heroes the more unbalanced it gets. Stop comparing it with LoL please.
Too bad that this is the case now. Hate to say it again but back then people played games for years without updates.
If she wasn’t such a stupid hero, and a hero purely made to fight a meta. I’d maybe agree with you.
I agree more the heroes the more unbalanced a game gets, but that’s only their as a reference to show you what made LoL what it is today.
She might be stupid to you Toupher. Not to me, and not to many that know’s what she had to be in order to force that change, we all needed.
It’s how games are today, audiences want to be entertained and get bored way too fast now.
I liked playing hanzo as well but I realized how stupid his scatter was and that people were right about it (I hate the new hanzo literal spamzo and refuse to play him now). I can see that some maybe like her as a hero but the fact that they don’t realize how stupid she is makes me wonder.
Toupher Brig’s pick rates have plummeted and now she’s their to keep a check on certain heroes / play styles that if din’t exist wouldn’t create balance in the bigger sense of that word.
If not for Brig we would still see a very dominant dive meta and a very dominant flanker story. Heroes born down the line come in to help force certain changes that is good for the larger health of this game. I know a lot of my friends that were tired about this game being purely dive, and flank. Many of them did leave it for other games and have come back now because of the changing scenario. I’m sure Blizzard has a good insight to what they need to do, in order to keep this ship rolling.
Instead of nerfing the dive, they made a hero for it. That’s why it’s so stupid.
Yeah that’s a design philosophy. You solve a problem not by weakening one or more heroes, but instead adding another hero that’s strong against it.
Its hard to explain to people that supports and tanks are power creep’d as it is, and even a little more on top of that can make it consistently easy to execute in games and be noticed. For starter this game has more dps heroes but ill be damned if they ever had a dps season. Mostly the game will have that one or two good dps’s and that was it for a season.
Blizzard is promoting tank and support play that way, its a bad way to do it but its something.
Playing a tank and a healer mostly spoils a good player by giving him so many easy tools to abuse in game.
That’s cause these tanks and supports can damage absorb and heal at a pretty high rate, that having them in your comp gives you a huge advantage. It has nothing to do with the number of heroes in a specific class.
Yeop wait till LFG comes out, and dps mains will have to fight hard to find groups, while Tanks and Supports will be required in the numbers. It just goes to show how the large portion of the community are flooded in the damage space.
Supports and tanks just arent played as much, even in WOW its the same. They have a different kind of non-selfish playstyle that is more pressurising than dps. If anything, we need more hybrid characters like Brig, Soldier, sombra, Roadhog, Moira and lucio so more DPS players switch!
a little question, if pickrates determine if a hero is op or not, where are the zarya, zen, widow, tracer, genji, winston, d.va nerfs ?
<I basically seen dives and lille varioation of dives every time on OWL. Where are the nerfs ? Oh right, if a hero has low pickrate is weak and needs super uber buffs, if a hero is picked every game, is balanced and you need to adapt™ and learn how to counter™
Looking at Moira this shows the most.
Her damage is not bad at all.
But her healing has by far better numbers and is power creep’d so shes forced to use it.
Lets not forget that blizzard do indeed add power creep in there games to force players to play tanks and healers just like they did in WoW. I use to play a healer in wow back in wotlk and then cataclysm lunched and they made healers and tanks insane since que time was abnormal thanks to the lack of players using them.
Back in wotlk healers had to worry about so many things and now they just have 10 instant ways to heal and no problems with mana or executing their healing power at all.
So ofc blizzard wants tanks and healers to be better since it clearly shows that people want to play dps for the most of it. But imho they are just spoiling good players by having a small group of good and consistent heroes such as the tanks and supports.
So, we need more tanks and healers to make sure that DPS dont have long wait times?
Better make them fun to play, easy to pick up and powerful then, so more people do 
That’s called spoiling players.
I blame one tricks…
I indicated by saying super high pick rates. Which means in the past heroes like Mercy had a 100% pick rate, compared to Rein whose the highest picked today being at 11%. You see the difference ?
I’m more willing to play support or tank if there job was actually hard, but as of now it feels like you just hit or hold a button and the job is done. For some harder means better and it just makes it so much more worth it in the end. That’s why no matter how good supports and tanks get some of us are just off thrown by that.
For tanks atm i just have Roadhog to have fun with he actually takes some skill to play atm thanks to his version 3.0 changes. And for healers i have Ana. If they do add more heroes like this ill be happy, just not heroes like Brigitte, Moira, Rine, Mercy and etc… who are over compensated in every way.
Can you show me the 100% pickrate in the OWL ?
