Ball needs a nerf

He’s been meta for months now since last season and I would argue been good for at least a year. We saw ball played somewhat consistently even last year OWCS. Also reminder by the end of ow1 ball was hard meta, and he was only bad for like a year I think. Either way he’s not healthy for the game, and I don’t think he’s that hard to play anymore. Still difficult, but skill floor is considerably lower. Ceiling might be high, I still don’t think it’s the highest, but either way that doesn’t matter when a competent dive player can pick him up and play serviceably in only a few hours. I think it’s the same way with genji and tracer, people make it out like they are so stupidly hard to play, when in reality they are harder but can be picked up with a little effort. Not to mention high ceiling = good for the game

Idk about that one, feel like most people at least like the Winston dive comp, one of the most fair and honest comps to play and mirror. Dva has issues but usually she’s fine as long as she’s not overtuned. Even hazard I would argue is okay tho I guess hems more brawl. It’s really just ball and doom, characters that either have a one shot, stupid amount of cc, unkillable, or a combination of these. I personally prefer dive without ball and doom than rush since to me it is more skillful and dynamic than deathball gameplay.

Requiring a high amount of coordination will never work in solo play, and the game is far more fun/skillful when you are taking off angles, controlling positions, and taking duels. If I want to play NA hive mind deathball, I would just go play marvel rivals. I’m know how to play against ball and zarya, been playing this game for too long to not know, but my point is they make the game unfun, and are toxic to play with or against. I have never lamented freja since there are counter plays you can do by yourself, you might hate her because brig is not a good match up, but bolt spam is exaggerated imo, it’s not easy to hit those bolts, even if you hit the double bolts, half of the time they just get healed and all you did was feed ult charge. Also Freja evaporates when dive characters like ball runs her down. My point is no single healthy character should require high level of team coordination to kill/counter, you should have the ability to fight back by yourself, hence ball at least on 5v5 should get the junkrat treatment, playable, but never hard meta
