I haven’t been playing for a year,and when I come back I realize the game has been much more frustrating than before. At least I used to have fun playing in during it’s first year. The most obvious reason is game balance. Some of the most prevelant problems are still the same and devs did absolutely nothing to adress these. They think putting in more op and unbalanced stuff in makes up for it. Here are the things that make me want to delete this game.
-Genji still not nerfed after all these years. His damage is high,has no penalty in long range,has very good burst potential,has deflect on very short cd,has a cd resetting dash that also deals high damage,double jump with no cd on top of wall climbing,animation canceling abuse,and a very problematic ultimate. For some unknown reason Blizz refuses to revert him back to 150 hp. None of the other attack heroes have this much to their kit. He can perfectly play against any comp in any map.
-Brigitte: She has burst heal THAT GIVES ARMOR,and this armor can be spread to every team member,basically making her ability a mobile,damage dealing shield generator with burst heal added. It is no surprise everyone is complaining about her,yet Blizz decided to just nerf her armor which wasn’t strong anyway. Her heal capabilities should be cut in half if she can keep dealing that much damage and stuns.
-Tracer: Still no cd increase on her blinks. Part of her power comes from the armor she gets from Brigitte.
-Roadhog: His hook bugs still not adressed. Hooking people from behind the walls isn’t okay. If anything,Blizz should have aimed to fix this simple problem before nerfing/buffing him months ago.
-Mercy: Her ultimate last way too long,and resurrect cast time is way too short.
-Ana: For a long range healer that has sleep and heal negation,she deals too much damage and too much heal. Definitely deserves a harsh nerf.
-Lucio: He shouldn’t be able to heal while he is stunned.
-Reaper: Main problem with this hero is you have to get into melee range to be able to do damage,and he still doesn’t have the kit for it. His ultimate is easily countered.His bullets should spread less so he can deal at least a little bit damage in close range (close range is what comes after melee range)
-Doomfist: His right click range and knockback needs to be reduced. For a one shotting mobility ability on low cd,it takes so little skill.

I can respect that you think everything is perfectly balanced and exactly how it is supposed to be,but you should be more constructive with your replies. You imply you know balancing,so maybe share some of that knowledge instead of trolling?
None of the suggestions explain why they make sense. These requests are very likely to be based on your perception and your OW skills as an individual.
Some heros/abilities are supposed to counter some others. This doesn’t mean that those heros that are good against your favourite ones should be nerfed.

genji and tracer are dead this meta with the addition of brig. do something about brig first, then we can properly discuss their balancing.
and we are all gratefull.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
you are kidding, right?
so what you are saying is that they should just delete her? if her blinks get more cooldown, she will be worthless. you just need to learn a simple thing called “to counter”
that bug was ages ago. his hook almost always breaks off of people if they stand close to a wall, and the hook is easily countered.
you are level 375 and still cant outdamage her healing, while avoiding her damage? that is you, who should git gud and not her needing nerfs(okay maybe she needs a bit of a nerf to her combos, but other than that, brig is very good where she is)

Genji and tracer aren’t dead, they are still among the most powerful heros. Brig is supposed to be a hard counter against them. As genji or tracer you are supposed to either stay out of the range of brig or switch to another hero. This is unlikely to change as brig was an intentional addition but you don’t seem to understand how this game works. Heros aren’t supposed to be equal/balanced in 1v1 fights.
Yea, dunno. I read this thread when it first came up and when I got to that point on Mercy I was just like… 
Kinda lost for words.
I am curious how you came to this, Deecee. You go on to say that you want constructive debate, so let’s debate it? Maybe explain why you think being locked into a cast animation and having control of your kit taken away from you is good design in a fast paced FPS full of heroes such as Tracers who can blink across the map in moments and drill shots into your head, leaving you absolutely no recourse to respond? What kind of extension did you have in mind exactly? 5 seconds? 10? Should I go brew some coffee while I wait for my hero to be done using her E ability? 
I’m kidding, I don’t even like coffee.

Brig is too durable for a support. Her kit is easy to learn and be effective with. She makes tanking an absolute nightmare. She can fill any role.
And if they wanted a character that can hard counter dive characters, then they shouldnt have nerfed Hog into uselessness.
roadhog is just one of the many trash designed hero.
A tank that cannot tank, but can oneshot combo is in my opinion lazy, stupid and effortless design.
brig is aids, but necessary because blizzard already told us they won’t nerf tracer and genju.
And im fine, lets just destroy every close range hero because they do not want to nerf them and keep brig to counter
Reaper is underpowered in your statement… Play tank and your vision will turn 180 degrees
@TRON Yes,of course these requests are based on my perception and on my OW skills. What else can I use? I have my own perceptions and opinions about the heroes as an individual,and they carry the same weight about anyone else. Also, I finished every competitive season I played in Diamond,so my skills aren’t as bad as you are implying (not saying it’s great either,but it’s something). I also watched some high profile tournaments in the past and saw how the highest levels of OW skills affect the game.
@Mushbug I didn’t call others ‘trolls’,and I’m not saying everything is broken reeee. I deliberately wrote down which heroes are strong based on my opinion and gave clear suggestions. I called one person troll,because with 2 replies into my thread,he/she added nothing valuable to discussion,insulted me,and reduced the potential quality of the whole thread. You are doing exactly the same thing with your post.
@Matt I’m not kidding,but it’s not a 5-10 seconds increase in cast time as you mockingly suggested. 0,5 should be more than enough,and we will see what is needed after that. I can understand that you need to exaggerate what I say in your mind,so you can disagree with it. Also,instead of insulting me,and calling me a low skill player,you can explain how increasing Tracer’s blink cd by 1 second deletes her from the game? Maybe come with a suggestion like this: If you want to increase her blink cd by 1 second,you have to make her 200 hp? But I can understand you are quite incapable of constructive criticism. Also,I wouldn’t say anything about Roadhog’s hook,if he didn’t hook me from behind the wall.
@NEWGAMER Reaper is underpowered not only in my statement,but everyone,including Blizz thinks that way,so they want to buff him. From what I see, tanks with barriers are very popular right now, which prevents reaper to do any damage from that side. And since Brig and Ana is also very popular,it’s almost impossible to flank those tanks,or use your hard earned ult in any situation in high level games where communication is a thing.
90% of this statement is incorrect, you really have not played for a year because you have no sense of the game atm
Spoiler, they nerfed tracer!
totally nerfed.
100 less dmg onm her ult that still oneshots everyone except tanks, and used to oneshoy some tanks.
Unviable
Buff tracer
I have never said she was unviable but the statement that tracer has never been nerfed is incorrect
i know what you mean, when i bought overwatch i had so much fun. but Blizzard is destroying overwatch. the balancing is so damn stupid. people have been complaining about Widowmaker hanzo and Genji to be nerved they are too freaking OP. doomfist is in the wrong spec he is a tank. so is reaper unless they remove the self heal. moira and winston have aimbot, and with winstons stupid shield it is hard to kill him when you face him alone and when you get help he just jumps away. zarya’s beam is tooooooooooo freaking long. and what bothers me the most. they made sure symmetra needed too aim why do not give the same threatment too Winston and moira make them aim like symm and zarya.
overall the game is in such a bad state at this moment i don’t believe they are able to fix it and that is the main reason i won’t buy overwatch 2. it could be a great game, but then blizzard will destroy it again. so that would be a waste of money just like overwatch 1 is. i used too love the game now it makes me wanne kill people that play OP heroes.
