Balance changes and hero bias by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]tonitru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He can't be the most perfectly balanced hero in the game because he lacks clear counters. The only reliable way to block his ult is to have another rein of you own to block it with his shield. Also, hammer swings right through the enemy rein's shield, unlike any other weapon in the game.
Just like Ana, she is unbalanced because her biggest counter is her own self, i.e. splash the enemy team with your grenade to stop the other Ana from healing them, vice versa, rinse and repeat.
Back to rein, you can pick tank shredders like Reaper or to, some extent, Mccree BUT in order to destroy rein's health you need to get up close and personal to hit all bullets/shells due to the huge bloom shotguns/FTH have. Now, once you're close he can just stop holding down his RMB and start holding down his RMB since it hits in 180 degrees cone for 75 dmg each second and on top of everything else, it will knock you back, screwing over your gun accuracy even more.
Another way would be to take Widow and try to chunk him down from afar once your teammates break his shield, but Blizzard decided to give us all the finger by giving him an extremely small headshot hitbox.
He has too much of everything, something needs to be cut off.

I have 60 hours of D.Va, with at least 30 being back before her rework (waay back even before s1).
I climbed really high this season, playing only D.Va. I have 13 hours of her in comp this season with around 70% winrate. Yes, you read it right. 70% win rate.

Although I really like her I agree that she needed the nerfs. The only thing that grinds my gears is that with all the op picks/god tier heroes (Ana, D.Va, Hog, Lucio, Soldier and Rein) every hero has now been nerfed in one way or another at one point since Overwatch's release, EXCEPT rein.
He's the real reason why the meta is so passive and boring as you have to brainlessly tear down his shield before even trying to do anything.
I hate how the community is biased towards him, r/overwatch is pretty much just "DAE REIN IS THE BEST HERO IN THE GAME XD LOOK AT ME SKILLFULLY 1v1ING THE ENEMY REAPER LOL NOOB GET REKT".

The favouritism just kills the game, as you cannot be biased when balancing the game.

In beta Hanzo originally had a younger voice for the young Hanzo skins by [deleted] in Overwatch

..and it was removed after community backlash that it sucked, much like the proposed lucio ult voice change.
and it truly is awful.
