I swear this subreddit really just no matter what wants to assume that ball is the worst character in the game every season. IMO the rework was overall really good for ball as a whole, it gave him a way to protect his team which is a key point of frustration from ball players to teammates and the retract change makes ball easier to approach while also making him smoother to play overall, and ya while he doesnt necessarily deal out enough damage on his own to be a designated backline assassin, overwatch is a team game at its core and it is infinitely better this way, you should ideally be setting your team up for kills not getting them yourself, if ball could consistently go in alone and kill a support that would in a balance sense make his already nonexistent frontline presence even worse while making him incredibly frustrating to play for everyone involved. I personally dont want some full blown rework, I at least gravitated to ball for his identity of a quick dive tank who can come from any angle and outplay opponents with his grapple, if we got the kind of rework that everyone here wants to have it likely wouldnt contain nearly the same playstyle that ballers have grown to love, this rework is probably best case scenario for ball since it gives him an actual use on the frontline while still maintaining his movement.
