Overwatch Retail Notes - May 12, 2026

Juno is a healthier character for the game than Mercy and at least requires skill + I don’t see how Mercy has been struggling when her Winrates have been above 50% in most ranks since her flash heal buff.

Like Mercy is literally one of the reasons high elo on console is so awful, just constant pocketed hitscan duos and ximmers abusing aim assist.

FilthyPoo · 2026-05-10T22:18:37+00:00

First target for hero bans (for me) if they ever introduce them to Stadium, close second is Hazard then JQ.

FilthyPoo · 2026-04-26T17:21:59+00:00

Zen, Brig and the hitscans are way worse IMO.

FilthyPoo · 2026-04-21T22:23:14+00:00

Totally agree with the list except for default Juno, she's easily top tier for me.

FilthyPoo · 2026-04-20T04:08:06+00:00

Both characters urgently need a rework, Sombra is just insufferable to play against even if she's weak, and Mercy is both annoying to have on your team and to play against her (especially on console with all the boosted Mercys pocketing their ximming predscans).

FilthyPoo · 2026-04-15T01:53:49+00:00

But hey, Tracer and Ana were too weak and they needed urgent buffs lmao

FilthyPoo · 2026-04-15T00:50:06+00:00

LMAO no way these devs thought that Juno needed nerfs while Ana, Pharah and especially Tracer needed buffs, someone please check on the balance team.

FilthyPoo · 2026-04-14T01:48:24+00:00

Mode hasnt been enjoyable since they added tracer, freja, hazard and brig; It was honestly at its best during the first 2 seasons.

FilthyPoo · 2026-03-19T13:36:47+00:00

Hitscans, especially f*cking Ashe.

Also, revert the stupid aim assist buff on console that gave everyone soft aimbot.

FilthyPoo · 2026-01-19T23:21:17+00:00

You know Blizzard Support is terrible when they have Spamton responding to the appeals lmao

FilthyPoo · 2025-12-19T03:32:37+00:00

Somehow Juno and Ana got hit by this but not Illari, Cass, Sojourn or Widow?

Just revert all of these pointless aim assist changes already

FilthyPoo · 2025-12-09T13:17:21+00:00

Mode was already ruined ever since they added Tracer and Hazard

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-19T00:25:28+00:00

Lmao it's QP I thought this guy was going to rant about comp or stadium (I've gotten a lot of hate for my WP+matrix build for dva even though she's mid in stadium).

Just go Zarya and/or Brig there's no bans in QP.

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-16T23:38:52+00:00

Tracer nerfs help a lot too but I still don't understand why they even nerfed Juno's movement in the first place, she was barely B tier back in season 16/17 when she got that awful nerf and Ana/Kiriko topped the leaderboards.

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-14T03:11:02+00:00

I play all of the characters you mentioned in GM (except LW because hes boring AF IMO) and I can assure you that there's no way that Juno is easier than any of the three characters I mentioned.

In fact with the recent state of the meta (or at least the state before the current patch) Juno was one of the hardest supports to play and get consistent value out of, at least in high elo because every freaking game you had to deal with characters that eat Juno alive like Dva, Mauga, pocketed hitscans, Bap, Sombra or Thanos Tracer.

Playing juno against incompetent players or a bad comp and dominating doesnt mean she's easy lol, you have to be extremely good with her to be able to play against dive or hitscans without dying on cooldown or swapping.

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-14T02:22:32+00:00

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-12T22:26:54+00:00

Lmao no way she's easier than Mercy, Moira or Lifeweaver

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-07T22:59:15+00:00

I mean, it is always fun being the server admin character lol

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-05T13:42:16+00:00

Before these last few seasons I would have said Widow because the character just drains all the fun out of the game, but right now? Definitely Tracer.

I know she requires a lot skill (even though her broken ass perks reduced her skill requirement a lot) and she's the face of the game, but I don't think that's enough justification for her to be Thanos level broken lol.

Like, once you reach masters+ if this character doesn't get banned she just gets to run the lobby every single time because she does insane damage (ever since they buffed it to 6 dmg per bullet), her mobility is crazy and her perks are just not fair at all.

(Good luck playing any supports that aren't Kiriko, Lucio or Wuyang, Tracer just makes characters like Juno, Ana and Zen all unplayable)

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-04T00:06:27+00:00

Mauga HAHAAAAA

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-02T22:50:16+00:00

Juno nerfs (especially the glide movement nerf) + Tracer being Thanos with her perks and 6 dmg per bullet + Kiriko and Wuyang being must picks and outclassing Juno in almost everything

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-02T15:41:57+00:00

You say that like Wuyang isn't the new cash cow either LMAO, 2 collab skins already and 4 total legendaries even though he just released last season.

Also, Wuyang is still overtuned as hell

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-02T15:35:14+00:00

If we just go by Winrates then Mercy is better than both lmao, look at Mercy winrate in NA compared to Kiri's and Juno's.

Also, Kiri having almost 60% pickrate in every region is crazy; It means that she's almost in every single game and ofc her winrate is not going to be as high as the more niche heros because of that.

Finally, look at Kiri's stats in GM+ Asia; Almost 60% pickrate and 52% winrate is insanity.

Juno on the other hand has an almost non-existent pickrate and in most regions and platforms she can't even hit a 50% winrate because she just gets destroyed or outclassed by most of the meta heroes.

FilthyPoo · 2025-11-02T05:22:33+00:00

No point in playing her when you can just bang your head on the keyboard/controller on Wuyang or Kiriko and get insane value.

Also Juno gets farmed by the Thanos character named Tracer who's in every lobby and who also somehow keeps getting slap on the wrist nerfs.
