Letting a game breath is far more important then constantly balance patching it but this thread is 95% whining about balance and I know you guys are a fraction of the user base so its worse elsewhere.

Congrats you all ruined the game with your constant balance bitching and Blizz being stupid and listening to you goombas.

If this shit keeps up esports is going to die. I will not mourn its passing aside from the fighting game genre dying due to the same exact horse shit.

I was fine with tank meta just saying.

I have been and still am fine with everything except Pharmercy.

New hero revealed: Moira

She’s basically Symmetra but with healing abilities and stealth mobility. And her ult is a Kamehameha.

Moira uses biotics to both hurt and heal—but always for her own benefit.

Also new hybrid map set in a Blizzard theme park.

Can’t wait for her to get released, complained about, then preemptively nerfed before she even hits the PTR.

Moira seems like everything I’d like in a hero so far.

delete_me · 2017-11-04T00:00:29.000Z

Her and Zen together will make a devastating healing/wrecking duo. No Mercy. Pun intended.

Seems really cool so far, especially since lots of people, myself included, were fantasising about some king of black mage for a while.

Some more info about Moira:

Biotic Grasp (primary/secondary fire): her primary fire is a short range spray that heals the allies in front of them, while the secondary fire is an autolock damaging ability with pretty long range (at least 10-15m, way more than Symm) that steals life from the enemy. Healing per second is close to ana (80) while hitting multiple targets at once like Mei’s freeze and damage seems lower than Winston’s beam. The interesting aspect is that her healing is a ressource that consumes a biotic meter which can be replenished with the alt fire.
Biotic Orb (E ability, 10s CD): she shoots either a healing or damaging orb that bounces on surfaces for a while and can go through barriers. The orb doesn’t disappear until it heals 300 total hp or does 200 total damage. Orb also slows down while dealing damage.
Fade (shift ability, 6s CD): it’s a Sombra-like stealth ability where Moira disappears for a brief moment while becoming extremely fast and reappears later in another spot. She can therefore move from high to low ground but not the other way around.
Coalescence (ultimate): as I said, she shoots a Kamehameha-looking beam in front of her that lasts for quite a while, goes through barrier and either deals or damage what it touches depending if it’s a teammate or an opponent. Healing is ~120/s. Its dps seems kinda low though.

I’m waiting for the exact numbers.

Kalyx_triaD · 2017-11-04T01:19:41.000Z

That’s the kind of story that’s of positive masculinity certain critics don’t think exists. Every man gets this at a deeper level.

WELL SPEAK OF THE DEVIL

Wish Bizzard would stop just throwing mobility on new heroes for no real reason though. Moira doesn’t really need to aim her secondary fire it seems, so either the damage is going to suck or there’s some other drawback. Out of the healer lineup, she seems like a more interesting Mercy tbh. Would have preferred her to lack mobility (ala Zenyatta/Ana) but be really strong within her effective range.

OceanMachine · 2017-11-04T01:46:23.000Z

Yes, damage on alt fire is low (less than Winston’s primary).
I’m also adding new infos on the orb.

BB_Hoody:

Just had a game on Junkertown in which we won. But I’ve learned that even at Platinum. The biggest problem among players is the complete lack of game sense and knowledge. We were in defense and managed to win a team fight. Most of us agreed that we should take high ground for the next enemy push. We had the Zen and Ana arguing with us to defend the Payload. We explained to them that attacking team heals when near the payload. So fighting on Payload gives them an advantage. Lets not let them near the Payload period.

Then they say that Me the Reinhardt should stay on payload so we have at least have a Tank defending it. I explain to them I need to be on high ground with the team defending them. They then start raging talking about how no one knows how to play this game and always do stupid shit. We try to tell them that where we are set up. There are no flank routes the enemy can take. The only way they can get through is by coming straight at us. They can’t sneak to the payload. But they weren’t trying to hear it and the Ana began throwing, but we still managed to win.

so much this. even at masters the number of people that can’t grasp the concept of completely disengaging from the enemy team to regroup and attack again is just baffling. I get so triggered when i hear some dumbass “what’s wrong with you guys!? i just got 2 picks on point and you can’t do anything!” when the 2 kills happened when only 3 people were alive or something stupid like that

Hawkingbird · 2017-11-04T02:35:52.000Z

Young Rein acted exactly how I expect a gold level Rein to play. I really enjoyed that story.

The new support has my interest. I been wanting a new support to play. Can’t stay with Mercy and Lucio forever.

Blizzard themed skins incoming in regular lootboxes!

Damn that Zarya skin is REALLY lit.

Moira seems interesting. Zen was the only other off-heals in the game. She gives us another choice for a middle ground between heals and damage.

I honestly feel OW is doing well. It could however benefit from stricter leaver bans and queuing for roles.

Riot worried that introducing role queues would hurt the game for ages. The didn’t want to stop creativity. They fought it for ages but ultimately it helped the game. Blizzard should learn from it.

Decide it’s a 2-2-2 game or at least a 1 healer, 1 tank per party game and put roles in. Ultimately it would make the game easier to balance.

d3v · 2017-11-04T04:40:58.000Z

Maybe with a new healer, they’ll finally move Symmetra into support.

crotchpuncha · 2017-11-04T04:46:01.000Z

Need more shorts like that, that emphasize team work, then maybe the community will start to fucking understand how this game is supposed to work.

Oh who am I kidding.
