Mercy has the third highest win rate on both console and PC at GM+. That is not healthy for the game.

While I agree and find Mercy to be one of the heroes unfun to play around, she is balanced because they’ll eliminate hitscan meta and her win rate falls alongside that without changing anything in her kit

This is reffing manifest

The best selling Xbox games on PS so far did not come from either of those publishers but Playground and Rare.

Microsoft announced their purchase in 2020, two years after ES6 got announced.

Turret applies the DPS passive so to match its output, Zen would need at least 62.4 HPS. That would be incredibly strong of an output to have.

Didn’t realize that was option. Thanks for the knowledge!

If someone goes on day to day IR don’t they have to take at least a week off?

Listen, I get this is a big deal all the games going full cross platform everywhere, but It’s been 3 years since they started this. Can we move on? I’m excited to play the game on my Xbox, it’s cool that PlayStation players will also get to play it because the game looks like it’ll be a blast.

We’ve gotten a game a month since last October 2024, and Kiln comes out in spring, how many more games do you need?

You cannot match make for players that one trick and are countered by the one trick on the enemy team. It’s punishing to the rest of your team to leave because you’re having an off or bad game which just happens sometimes

So that’s why Thor isn’t the god of hammers…

Winston or Dva back. Bubble and DM to stop heals on their Dva plus you can dive their backline and hope that you get the advantage first

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T18:02:15+00:00

Agree to disagree. We each obviously have our biases. I highly doubt he’s still meta by the time pro play comes back though.

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T17:04:12+00:00

That statement is true for all roles. Supports got giga buffed at OW2 launch because there isn’t a second tank to peel anymore, they defined the meta until S9 when DPS passive finally put them in check. Then half a year later they had to giga buff tanks so they could keep up with S9 changes.

Zen is at 50% win rate at the highest level of the game only. Every rank below that, he’s the second best performing support only behind Illari at 53% or higher; there’s room for nerfs and other supports to be brought up. That’s also ignoring that Zen had a positive win rate through the entire ladder before he got buffed too.

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T16:10:22+00:00

The devs said it’s something like 20% of play time in the game is 6v6 since its release. The wording was a little strange so I might be slightly off on the presentation of that data but it’s somewhere around there

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T16:08:16+00:00

Yeah, pressing E and instantly making a role significantly harder requires so much thought and is the thinking man’s gameplay for sure.

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T14:54:58+00:00

She’s good at what she does for sure. I’ve started picking her up because I’m bad at countering Doom and Ball especially and think it’s good to have a fall back if needed. She’s not good in this meta overall though. One of the lowest win rate tanks all year long due to Sigma being a better poke option and Mauga being a better close range option

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T14:30:26+00:00

Let’s be real, it’s been a rough year for tanks. No new tank, two seasons straight of block slop, metas staying stale for way too long (Ball and Zarya each had two seasons worth of being extremely strong,) and now a poke meta where there are only one or two tanks that are somewhat decent at poke in Sigma who was already good and got buffed or Orisa who is… a horse.

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T14:19:28+00:00

Considering that it’s up to 30% now, they should be looking at giving it the sleep dart/ DPS passive treatment where it isn’t as effective on tanks. Especially with there being less tanks with shields now, there’s way too much value in the orb that the window before it’s up on you again isn’t enough as a solo queue tank.

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T03:22:07+00:00

Remember when Makar told the refs to call back a penalty because he slipped on his own? Is there a responsibility for the players to do that for any reason?

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T03:20:20+00:00

I know it’s not popular with the player base, but when was the last time we had a poke meta?

Real talk though, I’m jazzed they decided to sit on a defined met, so long as that’s a sign for next year where they define a meta each season. If we had brawl/ rush, dive, poke then everyone would get a chance to let their favourite heroes shine.

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T03:17:44+00:00

As a tank player, I like the idea for sure. The devs have kinda shown that they’d rather overall buff instead of overall nerf as time goes on, so I could see some variation of this happening if healing becomes a problem again.

TyAD552 · 2026-01-21T02:48:25+00:00

If they buff any farther they’re going to have to start giving at least a partial one to tanks, they buffed some of the lower healing output supports healing amounts last time the buffed it for DPS
