    They really gutted Doomfist's kit entirely. They changed him from a good aggressive DPS to the worst tank in the game, especially now that the game is balanced around solo tanks.
    On paper, it looked good, but in practice its just so bad. With the focus on him being a main tank, his abilities disposition him anyways so you can't properly shield your teammates, but you can't properly knockback or deal damage without putting the rest of the team at risk.
    At least Roadhog as a main tank is slightly better because he can hook from his position to give the rest of the team some good picks.
    I really hope they revert him, they turned one of the most fun heroes into a disaster of a tank. How embarrassing.

    20:08 - On the Mercy Guardian Angel changes. Blizzard and KarQ basically say the same thing about the change, that it makes GA and superjump "easier and more consistent" now, but what isn't touched on or I guess people forget to mention is that it's now weaker overall if you could previously consistently pull off superjump prior to OW2. Now superjump requires a significant build up to achieve the same height that you could get in OW1. Whereas before if you timed it correctly, you could get a massive vertical lift at good speed, the same verticality takes significant horizontal travel distance to build up your meter. This means you not only can't superjump as high or as on-demand as you did in OW1 but also that you need a lot of runway space and 'running start', so to speak.
    Overall, if you could already do superjumps in OW1, this is a nerf for Mercy. But that's not brought up for some reason. 🤨

    • @NaomoreVODs
      @NaomoreVODs Год назад +16

      You're so right, "it's more consistent and easier to new players" is nonsense. It's a huge nerf. If they wanted to make it consistent they could've kept previous way of performing superjump and implement new, but now instead of constantly moving mercy that is impossible to hit I have mercy that can jump away from teammates to go to spawn to change character faster

    • @Raven-ti6tf
      @Raven-ti6tf Год назад +7

    - junkrats trap does 100 damage now instead of 80
    - soldier’s movement speed was not reduced as that was reverted
    - baptiste’s damage falloff was at 25 meters in Overwatch 1 they just nerfed it to 20 meters in the initial beta and then reverted the nerf in the last patch
    - baptiste’s regen burst had its cooldown increased to 15 seconds from 13

    The removal of Mei's freeze is actually crazy when you think about it. It was a core part of her kit and concept. It was the thing her character was built around from the very beginning as a concept drawing. It's like taking away Widowmaker's ability to snipe, or Tracer's ability to blink and instead she just runs 50% faster for a second.
    The new anti-CC direction of OW2 is certainly something, but when we talk about the victims and what's left on the cutting room floor, Mei has definitely got to be the worst of them all by far. I still remember the Pyro comparison jokes back in 2016 and now it just feels unavoidable.
