What Overwatch 2 NEEDS: the April Fools Solution
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2024
- ok ok ok, joking aside, these April Fools changes were pretty fun (and silly), but Blizzard has historically implemented many of these changes in the past (check the link below). Which ones were promising, which ones were promising and silly, and which ones were just... silly?

what changes do YOU think we should keep?
How do you play in custom with the changed?
Spilo if you dont know how the dva booster change works, you can effectively fly with it, you booster backwards while facing downwards then cancel immediately to gain a boost of momentum for a second, repeat this over and over and you can stay in the skybox of lijiang garden the whole game (source:me) she literally bunny hops into the air and it suits her
@@captainphoton1693when you go into the gamemodes settings, there are two of every gamemode. Specifically press the second version of whatever gamemode
First the one I would tap into and implement a bit differently.
Would add the rein art one, but on a 3 sec CD as a parry like the genji one. The goal is to parry a big Ata k. Tale no shield damage. And send in back to enemies.
The Mei one felt really good. Maybe a bit too junky. Maybe her wall could be reworked. Where interact cancel the casting. The ability rotate the wall. And right or left click make it a wall or a pillar. Idk. Maybe the jump activation is fine but the interact cancel is wierd since her wall cancel is just the ability. Also it should share the cool down. To not allow for stupid rollout and softlocks. But the pillar is half the cool down.
The baptiste one, could be added. Way shorter, only at max charge. 8 directions. And you stand still to jump hight.
Then there is the dva back trust, orisa, sigma, junk, soujour reactivation (not the pull), the genji one, that could all be added as is.
But especialy the widow one. Maybe nerf her damage, and boost it back when air born or something but I never enjoyed, played, did well with her till the patch.
The i'tresting one but more like guess it show somethings wrong with the character lol.
Funly enoyth I enjoyed ramatra better. I would honestly rework ramatra to have a 4 sec CD on stance change. And he is en powered for the first 6 8 sec after switching. So you would want to switch often enouth to keep the boost. But not too much that you would be in a bad mode at the wrong time since you have a 4 sec CD. This April fool just showed me a how wierd ramatra felt like.
The and last. The ones that sparked the need for a character around the mechanic.
Tracer random weapon, ash for a puppeteer character, an artillery support for the zen one, nad casidy's bounty.
But the queen one definitely need a proper character. Made a very long comment about everything you can do with it. Don't care to retype it here.
Something for Widow. 3 Charges and the Passiv is definitively to much. But something like -6sec CD on Grapple with a Crit or a second charge would be nice.
The D.Va boosting backwards is a HUGE buff on console because of how much longer it takes to turn around. That change alone made engaging/disengaging far more doable.
i think the junker queen change is better saved to build a whole tank around, i dont feel like it fits her much and itd be super interesting to have a dive tank whos engage is on a skill shot
I like the Sigma change a TON. From a thematic standpoint, chucking a rock always felt lame and unfitting for such a cool power as gravity manipulation. Letting him control it a little makes it feel more like a utilization of his powers.
And gameplay-wise it adds more flexibility and skill expression, which are always good things for a character's fun factor.
I like the change IN the april fools mode, but it completely negates the satisfaction of landing Accretion as it makes it much easier and less risky by nature.
@@dizzymoosic But imagine, like, chucking it over a wall and getting multiple stuns off without looking xD
@@NoshuHyena Oh it's fun for sure but nothing beats the satisfaction of landing the perfect rock currently.
@@dizzymoosic It's satisfying, for sure. But I think I'd personally trade that in for potentially more creative and varied uses.
@@dizzymoosic havent played the changes, so is the rock like a homing missile? If yes, why not make it so the rock falls to the ground when the button is pressed again? It takes skill and fits his character.
Too many people look at design choices and think "oh this isn't a net postivie for the character it needs to be changed". Weaknesses in a character kit are just as important to there strengths. Orisa has very few weaknesses to her kit and unfun counterplay. This is the danger in asking for "quality of life" changes for any particular hero. If you remove the downsides to using abilities it becomes flow chart in nature and good and bad decision making is removed in the process. Everyone wants buffs nobody likes nerfs but without it the homgonized gameplay leaves a lot to be desired and people leave as a consequence.
On the other hand every time a character has polarizing strengths and weaknesses the community whines until it gets changed
Genji got his blade tuned down for his neutral game to be more consistent since people hated him being a ‘blade bot’
Hanzo lost his oneshot but no longer has inconsistent damage with the storm arrow change self explanatory
Zen is less squishy but less of a tank deleter via discord, because of community complaints
Pharah cant hover in the air infinitely anymore but has less of a horizontal mobility issue, well recieved
Sombras rework (which of these changes I like the most tbh) where she was no longer unkillable, but has more damage
Etc.
"Uhh no fun allowed because it may ruin esport competitive aspect even though its already dead!"
@@HtiyHanzo lost his one shot as a result of lack of contest. His one shot was never an issue before
torbjorn being able to put the turret on mini-maugas head was no doubt the best change. 10/10, keep it.
I really liked Reinhardt's change. Probably doesn't need to be a reflect, but some way to be offensive when shielding would be great for the character
Queen knife has so much depth. I would live if it was the main mechanic of a new character.
You can jump cancel the Dash.
If the knife is stuck you g the full distance.
If the knife stick while you are dashing toward it you stop mod air and wait for the knife. Meaning with proper mao knowledge you can have a fzlmst return and fall right in the team. Or a long return and flat in a desired spot.
The knife is also technicaly stuck at the max flight distance. Meaning you can with proper timing fall right where you want after the knife return. And even better. Stick the knife for a split sec and then dash. Meaning youl go full distance in mid air.
You can also use all the abilities mida air. So fun.
I was doing perfectly timed axe jumpscares. Dive behind the enemies and ult toward tour team. Shoot above barrier to touche more allies. Duel paras. Follow people from really far with the knife embede in them. Dashing toward the knife, sticking someone stopping right where I wanted and then because ethe knife return the enemy get pulled back in my axe. Etc.

But the queen one definitely need a proper character.
A weaker version of it could work for extra mobility.
Yeah I pretty much exclusively played JQ in this patch, her change was so fun and deep. I'd love a character built around that concept
Yeah it's fun to pull yourself towards an object and it's something that isn't already in the game.
@@Oguh608 nah. Would rather have a proper new character.
Queen is so fun, i felt like i was a combo of dps doom and tracer where i was just permanently on the flank and getting kills from nowhere and flying out 😂
I liked seeing Moira have heal as the generator and damage be the resource. I think her damage buff this season was too much but this mechanic evens it out
I’d prefer both heal and damage be resources with the opposite being the generator. Makes it so she couldn’t do just heal or just damage for too long
For some reason Lucios change to shoot a burst of 5 in healing mode but keeping a burst of 3 in speed mode was really cool to me, and was a ton of fun. It kinda felt like it gave more identity to each mode, like you could hover around your team slower but contribute more to a team fight, or you could try to blitz someone on the backline but be required to be more precise
As a junkrat player when I read the change I was suuuper excited. Junks nades have a small knockback which has made for some pretty cool nade jump techs for him like in junkertown second point, and hearing that we could explode primary on command got me really excited since I though of the posibility of even more versatile nade jumps. Then I tried it, and realized they took the knockback away when detonated. And I got sad.
Outside of that tho, this change went for something I had wanted for the character for a while, which is making his poke more consistent and less random, by making actual use of the final explosions of the primary fire. This change seemed like the perfect chance to try it, but on practice it felt really clunky. Not only did it make me realize how buggy the final explosion hitbox is compared to the animation, but also for a character like junk that likes to prefire shots having the trigger blow up all of them AND the mine as well, made it feel bad.
I would like to see them experimenting on a way of making junks poke better and going away from the random spam. I like the ricochet mechanic, but I would like to test stuff like making nades blow up instantly in the ground instead of them making little bounce multiple times, and keeping just the wall ricochet which feels like the most fun and skillful part of the actual bounce mechanic. And it could also make for more nade jumps, which would bump skill ceiling even more, which I am absolutely down for
I think making Cass a bounty hunter by marking a random enemy as "Wanted" was a really cool idea. I don't think more health should be the reward for properly engaging with this mechanic- giving him a small damage buff or giving him more falloff range would be a better option.
It just makes games snowball harder than ultimates already do
i think it could work as like 50 overhealth for 5 seconds before it starts to decay
It's funny, this is in paladins already. Lex is a bounty hunter with pistos who has a marked enemy, and you get a reward when you kill them.
I feel like the problem here is that it doesn’t have anything to do with his current role as anti flank. If they want to change his role then sure, but going after targets is not really something to be encouraged on a character with low range and low mobility
I think the Rein deflect with 50% smaller sheild and losing a set amount of shield health per second while deflecting is something interesting they should play around with more. He needs SOMETHING
The Reaper change was horrendous when you really think about it. You're doing the same amount of damage as non-april fools Reaper does with one shotgun, except now you're required to shoot both. This makes it absolutely useless to shoot anything with one shotgun as 2.5 damage isn't going to kill anything whatsoever. It's also a lot more restraining to have to click both buttons at the same time while aiming, so it really doesn't work well on a character who's all about close-range macro-flicks.
It really wasnt that bad, I think the math works out to 3.5% more damage and you are shooting twice as many pellets at the same speed. Both of these together are a noticable increase in consistency, though easy to say that isn't what the noob stomper himself needs.
@@wumbology72 While it is technically more damage, it doesn't actually change any of his break points. 216 being his current max damage, going up to 224 wouldn't change who he could kill faster as no one else's health is that low.
I don't believe it's enough of a buff to warrant a stricter mouse grip/aiming style. Even as a noob stomper, this change would just make him even more of a niche pick when plenty of other heroes can do the same as him with less resistance.
@@assassith I agree, the damage increase isn't worth the additional mechanical requirement needed to just play the hero.
It was also really obnoxious on a trackball (I don't use a mouse, I don't want to). This is why I can't stand playing Mauga; there's no good control scheme for holding both firing buttons and also being able to aim with your index + middle fingers
@@HontoNeetyou’re trolling lmfao
I actually really liked the concept for the Cassidy passive/ability. He needs something that resembles a cowboy, not necessarily a generic sticky grenade. It probably needs to be changed a bit, but some sort of wanted mechanic where you get a reward would be a cool mechanic and change the dynamic of how team play works. Something like “Genji is wanted, so let’s look to dive him this team fight so we get bonus health to sustain the rest of the fight” would make team play more unique in my opinion
It's random. Random is never good in a competitive environment.
I think he should gain ammo back for killing that wanted target. Also replace the mag nad with an ability that targets someone as the wanted target and maybe for a short duration after you pick that target you can do more headshot damage or something.
@@Kendervader yea I actually like that idea. Maybe not random, but “mark” someone as wanted for your team to kill
@@phillywilly246 exactly more choice in the matter and if they die you get to keep shooting and pick a new target 🎯 as much as he needs more health he already is pick bc of his health pool being slightly more. Maybe the passive would work like an assist is half a mag back but a headshot final blow refills all the bullets? Has a lot more dynamics on who you pick and how you kill them
Rein's deflecting ability seemed like an interesting direction into making his gameplay more dynamic, and judging by the fact that they tried to balance this ability, I feel like the devs actually might've considered adding it (maybe it was a part of the PvE). But overall, if his shield is the essential part of his hero identity it makes sense to add more to it to make him fit more into OW2.
They would have to add a cooldown to it and a max duration of like 1 second, because it really does encourage shield botting once again. Like why bother swinging or firestriking when i get value out of hold my shield up the entire time.
@@sinistertoady6712 it already has punishment for holding it or spamming it
Ive been saying Doom needs faster movement with Block since I started playing OW2. It has alway made no sense to me that he has to move slow when blocking
Personally, the Mercy change is my favorite. Sure, losing damage boost kinda sucks, but I'd argue being able to directly damage the enemies WHILE healing makes up for it. Switching between the staff and pistol is just so clunky. Being able to attack while healing makes her a lot more active, I found myself actively looking for off angles and high ground to contest, as MERCY. Might need to be tuned a bit, but I'm gonna be so sad to go back to old Mercy because even though I still like her, April Fools Mercy was just so fun.
I think Mercy's changes were legitimately quite good. I also think Moira's changes are actually an improvement over current Moira. The more limited range on her damage forces her to be positioned much more aggressively than current Moira.
What I liked about the Moira change is that you need to perform your task as Support in order to deal damage. Also, having multi hit in basic attacks and infinite manual heals is a blessing in disguise.
I think one of the brig changes could potentially be implemented into the game, and that’s the bash reset. I’ve been thinking about that for awhile, and after the hp buffs, I don’t see a reason it shouldn’t be applied.
Yup. The big thing for me is that Brig needs to use bash as a movement ability, but Rally is often used to react, so often you find yourself bashing for movement and then not having it available to react with Rally.
yes
the worst part abt 76 isn’t his healing station, it’s that his healing station heals allies so you hear “i need healing” instead of “i need help” when your team spams lol
I think that the Reinhardt deflect shield was a unique and fun way to make rein have more dynamic play, it was also fun to use because people don’t expect it and just instantly die because they throw damage at the shield expecting to melt Rein but instead take all the damage themselves
Spilo skipped over the wrecking ball changes but I have a feeling we could see some crab-type mechanics in his rework. It seems odd they would code in the crab changes just for an april fool's joke - they must've already explored the concept. It made his guns a lot stronger in open space but crabbing around wasn't possible when a target was running away - I think that's a good think.
This might even fall into the hot take category but I really like what they did with Ashe when they gave her an extra ability (right on d pad controller). Would be cool to try and implement that for every hero.
I think the parry with genji wouldn't be bad
I saw a genji on my team deflect firestrike at a rein and it showed firestrike crit in the killfeed i was like 😳
Parry Moira damage orb… it doing crit damage has got to be scary
I really like it conceptually, but part of me thinks that maybe the deflect should prematurely end if you go for a crit so that it can't be spammed
@@theespicypotatohonestly that’s a kinda cool idea. But I dunno if that’s what genji really needs
Using Lucio's boop for movement felt *_REEEEAALLY_* good!!!! You could use it for a rollout and added skill expression/skill ceiling since you have to face the opposite direction than the desired direction, you had to choose to use it to engage, to damage/boop an enemy, or to disengage, but it's short cooldown doesn't make this choice _terribly_ punishing or committal. (I did notice tho that I was having it off cooldown when I needed it less than usual which is new space to improve, cool!)
(Although tuning down the exact strength of the impluse applied would be good, specifically its vertical impulse is way too much but the horizontal impulse could be okay or slightly changed, both being changed equally would be fine tho, and I'd be okay if the final speed you end up at is a bit lower because of such changes or if the cooldown was increased a bit)
Also, I've been saying Lucio needs an ammo buff for years. I feel like I have to reload _constantly_ it's so annoying!! I didn't play the April Fool's patch for _that_ long so I can't comment on how good the other gun changes felt much (his gun has always been my last fav part of the hero but thats just a personal preference). _and maybe I'm just not used to it but the 3 shots on speed and 5 on heal was a heavy cognative load when playing fast and quickly switching auras back and forth- it didn't feel very good. and I feel it'd buff the braindead boring af healbot ult farm speed when needed as team playstyle that's always been so good._
His ult doing something like knockback or knockup (maybe even more knockback or even damage when landing on someone's head) was and would be super fun and pretty cool (would raise the skill floor too bc if you use it to counter an enemy's engage and it boops them towards safety then they can more easily just wait out your beat, so you need to keep in mind enemy positions and los too, not bad but worth noting.) There's not too many mass knockback/knockup ults in the game, so having one that aesthetically fits so well like Lucio would be AWESOME. Maybe the knockback could scale the higher up and/or the higher speed you use it from/with.
Other changes quickly:
- Junker Queen knife was super fun and would make for an awesome movement ability on a new hero (could maybe have a very minor version for herself like you were talking about but I'd rather it be a new hero's ability).
- Ball's crabwalking did not feel good it felt weird af.
- Cassidy having a passive like Wanted is really cool and it'd be an awesome cowboy-themed thing to give him. Maybe health is a weird reward tho- it could be damage, movement speed, attack speed/decreased recovery, reload speed, lower cooldowns, a free reload on the Wanted kill, etc there's many possibilities. They'd also wanna make the UI for it less intrusive like they did for the Ana sleep world UI indicator that made it to live. (Random thought, but maybe it could be fun and make his ult better if he had a free use of his Combat Roll during High Noon)
- Genji's parry was kinda hard to tell when it worked but was fun to try, and I hope a new hero has a more intuitive short-time parry ability in the future that'd be fun.
- Mei's pillar felt _really_ nice. I'd love if this came to live, although perhaps if it had less health, longer cooldown, lower duration, or was added to her Ice Wall ability (can use a button like interact to scroll between the different wall types, and maybe would have a lower cooldown when used this way. they could even add other wall types too maybe but that might be a bit much? could be fun tho)
- Sojourn's disruptor shot slow being removed was wild to me it was designed to synergize with her rail gun, I figured they'd remove the damage but now it's kinda boring af and the name makes less sense. I like how it can be stopped just in general, and while making it an Orisa pull might be too much I'd love to see it have some other functionality suiting of it's name.
- Widowmaker's changes seemed like really fun! Although perhaps slightly out of character for Widowmaker's personality, but maybe she lightened up a bit.
- It'd be cool if Illari had some kind of solar power passive that have her a self-buff. Maybe when she shoots or uses abilities a bar goes up and whe its full or she ults shes overheated and buffed in a few ways? Maybe it could interact with her abilities, like using healing stuff expends the meter and using damaging stuff charges it. (maybe too many bars tho with her primary and secondary fire tho, and this is treading into Moiria/better for a new hero territory too)
- Kiriko double jumping kinda clashes with Genji and how for him it's flavored as cybernetic enhancements and she doesn't need it, but I can't deny how good it felt..
- Please, for the love of the gods, _*do not let the Mercy change go live*_. It genuinely felt awful/clunky and more braindead to play, very out of charcter for Mercy. it was a cool idea and maybe with lots of iteration something like it could work great for a new hero, but not Mercy. Ik Damage Boost is hard to balance, and at the same time the dynamic it creates for Mercy is really fun and should stay.
- Zen in some capacity should be able to fly, I don't make the rules he just should.
I truly think the Junkrat one has the most potential as a concept, but the execution here isn't quite it yet.
Tying it to an ability on a short cooldown would be better provided it resets when a mine is thrown. It should also only detonate concussion mines if any are placed. If none are, it should detonate only the last grenade fired to reduce spam and make it more like a periodic skillshot.
Other things that could be cool for it would be a reduced delay and possibly the addition of a sweetspot mechanic to really increase skill expression. As it stands in the April Fools patch however, I find it lackluster.
Giving Junker Queen some vertical mobility on shout might be the way to go. Like if you use it while grounded you get a speed boost, and if you use it midair you get a double jump
Probably shouldn't be on Sombra, but the virus jumping after a death I think is a good mechanic that would go with Winston's tesla spread, and that Ashe spread fire from before. I think they should have a couple abilities and mechanics that de-incentivize grouping up to future proof GOATs type stuff. (also, i know a lot of people want 6v6, or even open queue, this could be a potential counter to those type of things)
Always look forward to ur vids man keep it up
Literally my favorite character from Gundam Evolution was Sazabi. I'm not sure if there was a Paladins equivalent to the hatchet pull mechanic, but seeing OW implement that change on Queen with the knife would be so cool, and they could easily make a new tank's entire dive identity revolve around this (I hope they do either).
Quick feedback note if Spilo ends up reading these: for longevity and timestamping for future viewers, it would be nice to give a verbal or screenshot acknowledgement to what the skills/changes are as you talk about them. I actually didn't have time to play or try these all week, and so for some of the skills as you gloss over them I won't know what they are unless I look the patch notes up, which will get much harder with time.
the rein flying one from the year before
I liked last years change to Moira when you could stop her orbs in mid air . I like the idea of using the orbs as a trap in a sense
Mini Mauga just makes me happy regardless of whether he's good or not.
Boostering backwards is kinda silly still. I personally like the limitations on movement more then the actual movement. The limitations is where the skill is at.
I liked the Cassidy passive. It felt like something that already should be in the game. Same with the Soldier running one (I get why they won't let him shoot and run, but it was still cool).
The change that I would love from an April Fool's patch was Moira having the ability to stop an orb. It would be so damn useful cause in a situation where you need healing, you throw the orb, stop it and keep it there like a health pack. And the opposite too. Where you throw a damage orb and keep it in an area creating a threat or pressure so people don't go to that area. And if a Genji deflects it. You can keep the orb from damaging your team.
I think the Mei change where she gets a “double jump” in the form of a singular pillar is very cool! Put it on a cooldown and I think it could be worthwhile to have
I think mei could have a shared, reduced cooldown on wall where she puts down one pillar instead of the full wall, giving her a mobility wall and a proper wall to be used for different purposes(and this implementation won't have the issue of overlapping interact buttons)
I dont think both flying characters need to struggle to come down as a weakness. Echo is in the air more and is way more floaty than pharah now tho, so id say she can have that weakness. Pharah deserves to be more mobile and move around the map better. I like the idea of pharah doing better into echo cause of more movement. Her ult will still keep echo in the mix, pharah can be fast hit your shots flyer while echo is slow use many damage options flyer
Winston change is risky. For ranked it’s perfect. Biggest avg Winston complaint is enemies group and you can’t do anything but poke. It would discourage grouping. He still needs to expose himself to poke.
High level play he’d be too strong though. I’m not against this change, they clearly want to do it.
The Phara change needs to be looked at. She's way better after the rework but still ass imo compared to other heros. Something like that would REALLY help alot
mercy pistol staff is goofy but it's pretty nifty seeing them ask, like, "what if we got rid of damage beam entirely?"
mauga being smaller and having less health should 100% be a change and the doom speed boost felt amazing, getting a little extra speed to get behind a corner before their team melts through ur 375 hp was super noticable. the quick melee empowered buff for doom was hilarious too, suprise launching someone after you just punched them a second ago is peak ow
Itd be super cool if a new poke tank used the sig rock thing as a main concept for their damage. Unique aiming mechanics. Imo tank either needs more of that or actual aim based tanks that dont have a shotgun and have headshots that matter all the time (not mauga)
Pharah's drop down button is insane. I love it as an idea for her to actually have some play against poke
My personal wishlist from the april fools patch:
Dva not being able to disengage with DM facing enemies feels like an intentional design choice so I have mixed feelings on that, but it WAS fun so I’m open to trying it.
Tone down JQ’s, with or without splitting the self-pull and enemy pull onto interact and RMB, and I think it makes for a very fun ability. One thing I notice is that the self-pull is dependent on your distance from the knife; for the base game, I think the self-pull strength should be fixed.
If they keep the pharah one in any form I’d hope it’s by allowing you to fall SLIGHTLY faster by holding crouch. Something like the equivalent of 1.2-1.3x gravity.
Torb turret on walls (but not ceilings or allies) could actually be okay.
Mercy’s implementation might need some work and I’d actually ideally rather rez get replaced than damage boost (keybinds complicate this of course), but Mercy actually having a usable weapon is huge; she needs incentive to enter LoS of enemies.
I think the junker queen concept needs to be turned into to its own hero
I think the change I want to come to live the most is Illari's Sun Install. I feel like it goes without saying that it should happen in her Ult but I think it could even activate, like you said, for maybe like 3 to 5 seconds after her movement ability as it would make sense conceptually AND gameplay wise.
Plus it doesn't make her one shot. It doesn't make her unkillable. It doesn't give her a higher damage number outside of higher fire rate. And most importantly it's still in YOUR hands whether you get the value from it or not, because you can still just miss or not even use it.
The Dva change is really hard to control on console.
Adding a Parry mechanic would be really good for the characters it makes sense for, and it could make sense for a lot of characters.
I NEED the Lucio boop to work like in April fools, it gives so much opportunity for mouvement and forces the Lucio to make a decision when engaging with the enemy, either boop TOWARDS them or AWAY
You kinda glossed over this one, but Sojourn's Disruptor Shot actually pulls enemies to the center, just like Halt from OW1. It's really fun to use, but definitely way too strong on an already strong hero.
Flying flank zen is op when u have roofs to play around
It was really fun making new rollouts with Lucio boop
It would be cool if Illari could press the interact key on her pylon to consumed it and charged her rifle buffing it will solar power. It would be a fun way for the player to choose when to be aggressive or not.
Interact is already bound to destroying the pylon
illiari should get angry when her pylon breaks or maybe when she breaks it and it gives the buffs
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Mercy changes at all. The gun felt a little clunky but it was much better than current nano boost.
I personally love Lucio boop and i think that it have self knockback is funny and could allow for lucio to have even more movement
lucio boop change was fun
I would unironically copy and paste the Rein changes into the game. It’s a small QoL change that makes shielding more dynamic and can increase the skill ceiling on Rein matchups.
I think the JQ changes were really fun, but agreed that on a tank it is a bit much.
If done on a DPS it could be fun and balanced however. Maybe change it a bit in terms of max range and that you need to stick it in a surface before being able to pull yourself towards it. So you can't pull yourself to your blade if it is in the air. This would require you to pre-plan a fight a bit more and makes it easier for the enemy team to predict (or hey, you can bait by faking it even , making it more interesting). I think there is a lot of potential for it, it worked nicely in arcade for JQ already since she had less HP than in role queue. It really almost felt like I was playing a DPS more than a tank and mistakes were quite easily punished.
Before watching, I like some stuff from the Bastion and Mercy changes from this year
I think Mauge doesn't need to be that small, but it was nice to not be a literal barn door for once. I think the bullet size increase has made the tank cast too big consequently. I feel like they could just do a percentage shrink to the tank cast before they head down the rework/update route.
Junkerqueen change does NOT need to happen unless it's highly reduced and ONLY when you toss knife into a non-player surface.
I would like Echo's duplicated ult charge raised normally, and as much as I dislike Sombra I think her Virus spread is fair.
I sincerely love april fools pharah and hope they keep it. It makes her so so fun to play, and feels like a hybrid between sojourn and doomfist, a hypermobile character about resource management, creativity with your resources, and your decision making, as you can use your mobility in a variety of ways.
It makes her feel like a truly unique character and more of what that hypermobile pharah the original devs back in the beta talked about and wanted.
I'd be okay with any compensation nerfs that she'd get in exchange, like an hp nerf,
honestly I think I'd like if they boosted the damage on her propulsion missile, so that there were more decision making between if you needed it for mobility or to help secure a kill, it's a good counter balance that fits the character while keeping her in line.
Did people not realize how easy it was to carry torbjorns turret on yourself? It was the most broken part of April fools and hilarious fun. Just having an aimbotting backpack you can repair at any time.
Anything but the illari change; we dont need yet another support that can outrange hitscan dps with a full charge shot that doesnt need to be charged anymore and can be spammable.
i actually think the df block could go on live with 1x speed
Honestly i loved the bastion change
I definitely thought the mercy one was the only change that should have been implemented into the live game no more blue beam and make her actually require a little bit of skill
Did you get a new camera? Looks higher quality.
yep! Upgrading setup. Keep your eyes peeled!
all winston needs is alt fire delay change
I like the flamethrower moira has now
Let Winston right-click jump 6 meters to a target who hasn't been dealt damage by it yet.
Dva boosters cancel. Needs to be changed where instead of canceling it with crouch, if canceled early enough say 400-500ms in, the cooldown becomes 2 seconds, not the 1.5.
I want the Lucio drop the beat to kill just like dva re mech. Please!
i really think the JQ knife change is just a very good idea for a new tank. imagine a big dude with a ball-and-chain that he can swing around lol. not really, but something like that gameplay-wise is a fun idea i'd rather just move to a new char
Wtf was the genji idea? I spent two games trying to figure it out and then gave up.
What is critical deflects?!
Torbjorns turret sticking to cielings and walls should be in the regular game. Everybody elses heal pods etc stick to cielings and walls why not torbjorn
Gassing up the horrible ideas and then not caring enough for the Winston's chained right click or sigma's controlled rock is criminal
Illari right click should do damage to enemy players, maybe even ignite.
If JQ had the knife flight, I’d OTP lol she’s already fun as hell to begin with
I hate that Soldier can indefinitely sprint with zero cooldown and have no drawback whatsoever. Please do not bring back him shooting while sprinting too
8:54 so basically valkyrie?
Doom one good just give him normal mobility with it
give bastion a fourth mode on his E ability :)
Kiri having some version of a double jump could be nice for the hero. Maybe something that doesn't have the same amount of uptime as genji's like only being able to double jump after a wall climb.
Tiny Mauga actually was fun. I know it isn't lore accurate in any way, but I say keep the changes and throw him into the DPS category.
While I think some of the changes are ridiculous and unnecessary/unbalanced, it does still make the game refreshing to play. I like to see the devs try new things and take chances. This is something that I think OW1 lacked significantly, and the new dev team is doing a good job in doing so.
HOLY SHIT I TRIED WATCHING IN A LIGHTS OFF ROOM CAUSE I WAS TIRED FROM WORKING OUTSIDE, AND INSTEAD I GOT FLASHBANGED. How can you bare using Reddit's lightmode?? I'm scared of you 💀
My favorite change was brig. It felt very well balanced playing her. A lot of people tried to use her as a main tank but I used her as more of an off tank that punished dives, did a bit of healing, and was able to charge forward and get picks only when my team had the advantage. I don't know how big brig could possibly fit into the tank/dps/support dynamic, but she would be great in open queue
No Doomfist buffs! A good doomfist is near impossible to kill in the metal ranks 😂
why do soldiers bullets go in straight lines? why can torbs turret only be placed on flat ground? the design is practically set in stone. if you keep messing with the game to make it more fun, it becomes less fun, because dva flying backwards makes little sense. dva flying backwards is ok, but let's be realistic////Doom, when you block you move slower, that's how it works, don't change reality to make it more "fun" it's this mentality that has killed overwatch////// 40 heroes, each have 2 or 3 abilities and it's a team game,,,, this was a promised that was never delivered, and now we got a giant hodgepodge of a pile of crap ♥
Did you ugrade your camera? Dang
why are you using light mode my eyes hurt!!!
Anything Doomfist, no, pls dont. DPS hero turned tank, no, just no.
NO
Soldier heal pack being 18 seconds comes from some dev that thought suzu and bap lamp were good designs. It had to. The change was too stupid otherwise.
Keep Brigitte big!
Let echo copy teammates >:)
