      Sym onetrick here. Would love to see her get some buffs like a shorter cast time on her turrets and TP and a flat 2-3% damage buff. I specifically chose 2-3% because the overwatch community is one of the most toxic communities there is and if the community sees that sym got buffed they immediately send death threats. I'm not even memeing at this point she over needs at least a small damage buff. People will complain about Sombra/kiriko but won't complain about tracer? I'm not encouraging hate I'm just saying it's highly unfair for people to send literally death threats for a character that is decent at best in the current meta.

      The misconception of symmetra :P she was in a decent spot before the turret nerfs (S2-S5). And then after the orb buff she was ok too (S6-S7). But after they reduced her shield (S8) and now they didnt give her buffs for S9 (everything in her kit is slow asf and does low dmg, the only valuable thing is beam but beam is always extremely hard to charge especially this season), she feels horrible. Yes lucio can boop her away but most of the time you DO have a lucio in your team which synergize well with symmetra. She is good antidive too. So the fact that she has the worst dps winrate and her pickrate is the second worst in the whole game speaks a lot of her current state.
      Main Symmetra: stopped playing after S8.

      "Cracked hitscans". Anyone can look good and pretty in the leaderboard with a pocket mercy. That's the problem, people abuse tf out of it and it leads to a bad and boring experience no matter which team you're on.
      If you're with the mercy pocket duo you don't experience the game as much and get carried OR even get ignored by Mercy and just have to play with 1 support.
      If you're against the mercy pocket then you just get rolled no matter what, you can't challenge, peek, contest, pressure (you name it) them ever.

    The dropoff on burst means sustained damage hits even harder. Minimum TTK on a rapid steady damage increases by about 25%, but minimum TTK on everyone else increases by 50%, and minimum TTK on characters like Kiri and Illari increase 100%. I'm putting Kiri in B tier, only kept out of C tier because Anti-nade remains a threat.

    Question for the theoreticians: What can be done to make Rein viable? The fact that he can't do damage while tanking, and his limited mobility, make his kit impossible to balance without making him a stat monster. Generate shields when he does damage? Vertical mobility? Idk.

    • @heyheyhello3733
      @heyheyhello3733 3 месяца назад +12

      he’s needs more sustain. his shield is ass and breaks apart in 2 seconds and that’s literally all he has.
      a few ideas off the top of my head:
      - more shield health
      - faster movement speed while using shield to clear distance faster and waste less shield
      - self healing or damage resist when charging?
      i also think fire strike should 2 shot again. it’s not good for anything anymore, it’s just a way to charge ult. if they don’t want a 2 shot give it burn damage or some other kind of effect. it needs SOMETHING.

    • @blackout995
      @blackout995 3 месяца назад +2

      @heyheyhello3733 strongly agreed. He either needs serious shield buffs, or his effectiveness needs to improve once he's in. Because he can't get to where he needs to be more often than not.

    • @TR-ju5re
      @TR-ju5re 3 месяца назад +1

      Disagree with the shield health. It may change his identity but making him more of just a wall is boring imo. Faster with shield up I'm totally on board. Fire strikes either buff the dmg, the cooldown, or maybe give him 3? I haven't though much into this but more mobility/dmg potential I think would make him much more satisfying to play. Being a blob that soaks dmg is rather dull.

    • @blackout995
      @blackout995 3 месяца назад

      @TR-ju5re yeah I agree. I'm just making easy hypothetical changes that can help Rein get to his spots. His shield is basically paper rn...

    • @d00mnoodle62
      @d00mnoodle62 3 месяца назад

      Here's my radical idea, give firestrikes a buff where it leaves a path for 2 seconds that increases ally movement speed by 10% or make it so enemies that are hit are slowed for 20% for 2 seconds. I think this alone would make rein more viable since it's pretty decent utility

    I've seen tons and tons of these individual character list (I like yours a lot, btw!)
    But what about a team comp tier list? Like is Lucio/Moira/Doom...etc better than Lucio/Kiri/Doom - if so, why?
    I think a team list would be super interesting! Of course there's so many different combos, so you could break it down between dive/brawl and such. You could even be like "we're going to keep off the heroes you'll most likely never use *cough Illari cough* and for more info on that - reference *this* video!"
    Anyways, just a video suggestion for something I'd love to see. Cause it's hard to know what to swap to moreso benefit entirety of the team.
    Thanks for the knowledge - this was fun!

    I think Hanzo should be given more a brawl identity, change the storm arrow with a damage over time arrow that tracks one particular enemy, and then replace the sonic arrow with a a bow swing to create distance. On top of that lower his damage and decrease his draw time, I think these changes would make the character more dynamic and interesting

    I honestly think Pharah is at minimum like a B+. I've played her mostly as a dive hero taking some potshots from the outskirts until someone is low enough to burst down, and then dash in and erase whatever is low. Direct hit + Concussion rocket is a kill on Tracer, and direct + splash from a second rocket + concussion is a kill on healers. She sort of feels like flying Genji to me. I would place her as the same tier as Genji, wherever most people would place Genji.

      Both terms (skill floor & skill ceiling) refer to the relation between skill/effort required on a hero, and the value/effectiveness/impact of that hero. In simpler terms, "skill required vs reward gained".
      One effective way of illustrating this relation is with a graph. I trust you remember how those work from grade school, yes? The *dependent* variable goes on the Y axis, and the *independent* variable on the X axis.
      Here, the dependent variable -- the "rewards/impact" the hero has, or how "strong/good" the hero is -- is charted against effort/skill required.
      "Skill floor" refers to the lowest point along the Y axis contained by the line representing the relation. Conversely, the "skill ceiling" represents what rests on the other end of the spectrum -- the highest point in the graph on the Y axis.
      The lowest point in the graph (which assumes the *least* amount of skill required along the x-axis) represents *the minimum level of effectiveness* the hero has, as it is at that point where the player's skill is *lowest*.
      So, in other words, the "skill floor" describes the hero's strength *in the hands of the worst player*". When this point is *high* (comparatively) on the y axis, it indicates a hero that still benefits the team in some way, even in the hands of the scrubbiest player. Think launch Brig, or any overtuned new hero, really -- a high "skill floor" means that even in the hands of the shittiest player, even at the "floor" of the graph, they're still bringing something to the table. The higher up that "floor" is, the more they bring.
      Widowmaker has a very *low* skill floor -- if you're bad at the game, you're straight up dead weight to the team. You miss your shots, and you bring *nothing* to the table.
      Conversely, a hero, like, say, launch Baptiste or Brig, even if the player has doo-doo water cardboard-tier mechanics, will provide the team value simply by existing.
      Lucio, for instance, has a higher skill *floor* than Ana. Even if the Lucio misses every single shot he takes, he is at the very least providing speed boost or AOE healing at all times. If Ana misses every shot SHE takes, she literally provides nothing to her team. Her skill *floor* is low.
      The pros play heroes with high skill "ceilings" because they have the capability to bring out the hero's maximum potential. Naturally, in that case, they opt for the heroes with the *highest potential* since they have the skill to actually bring that out.
      If you're gonna be calling people "idiots", you're gonna wanna make sure you're not actually incorrect. Just tossing it out there.

      ​@@kohai-kun9261 I agree. To me, someone who has a high skill floor but low skill ceiling is one that works pretty well for newer players but doesn't have a lot of nuance or can't get that much more valuable even in the hands of a very experienced player. Meanwhile, one with a low skill floor and high skill ceiling is the opposite like the examples you mentioned.
      I think other people are thinking in terms of having difficulty as the dependent variable (and maybe value as independent? I'm not sure what they're plotting for x). This makes sense to me when talking about a character having a "steep learning curve" or something having a "difficulty spike."

      @@kohai-kun9261skill floor is the minimum amount of skill needed to get value on the hero. Looking at it like a graph with an independent and depent variable and tying it to skill ceiling the way you did is. Simply incorrect for the original definition of the word. If you're not good enough to get to the skill floor, you effectively can't play that character. You fundamentally misunderstood the meaning of skill floor and ceiling. If you're going to correct someone, make sure you're right

    • @luridphoenix
      @luridphoenix 3 месяца назад +5

      ​@@kohai-kun9261I normally wouldn't reply to a comment like this, but you seem smart enough that you might actually see reason if I explain this.
      The problem with this definition of skill floor is that you've vastly overestimated what "zero skill" looks like. A player with skill approaching zero would be running into walls, falling off the map, etc., and so the low end of your graph would converge for all heroes. The skill floor for every hero (yes, even Brig) would be to offer absolutely nothing to the team. As a result, this definition of skill floor is actually useless.
      That's why the term is generally taken to mean "a minimum skill level required to provide adequate value." An arbitrary definition, to be sure, but much more useful. We can say that Widowmaker has a high skill floor, because until you're able to hit shots, you won't be able to provide much value at all. Until you meet that skill floor, you're not really "playing the hero" as it were. Brig has a low skill floor, because hitting a few Whip Shots and standing around with your shield up throwing packs is acceptable Brig play that can win you games, and it isn't difficult to achieve.
      You can think of the area between the skill floor and the skill ceiling as the range of skill that can be displayed on that hero, with the skill ceiling being the absolute max, and the skill floor being more like a "cost of admission," or "entry level." Until you hit the skill floor, you're not in a relevant skill range that's worth discussing.
      I have no idea which is the original definition, because I don't study the history of these things, but the one I'm proposing is the one I heard first, and after thinking them both through, this is definitely the more useful one, as the other relies on false assumptions about how bad players can be. I hope this convinces you to use this definition going forward.

    Rank just feels so off to me for some reason.

All dps & support games feel like a higher rank than diamond, but not quite as high as I'm used to so they've been fairly easy... tank on the other hand feels awful. Last game someone said it felt like a bronze game & I couldn't agree more (even had a teammate tell me to play rein lol). I'm usually outperforming my dps & getting few deaths, but my experience on tank has just been awful. I don't know if I'm just failing to adapt, but I can't understand how all my games feel like roll or be rolled. My previous highest role feels so weird not having a single win on

Altho, when combining it with a dmg orb her ttk is a little slower because dmg orb dmg isnt increased.

    regardless of the dps passive, healing was nerfed by 20% relative to season 8 because of the 25% increase to health (it takes longer to heal to full health, this of course varies slightly based on the actual health increase). With the dps passive, healing is nerfed by 36% effectiveness from s8. with increased projectile sizes effectively increasing dps output support just feels terrible. like all of your high choice support were up there because of their damage output. So we're just less effective dps now...

I'd rank up rein to decent, i mean it's miserable to play him but it actually works. So much passive value in Rein if you know where to stand. I'd rank down Ram to decent too. Similar to Rein but i think worse than rein in solo que ranked. Ram excel in coordinated play though. Brig would also rank down to decent. As an all roles gm guy i approve this tier list.
    I think if they lower the dps passive effect on tanks from 20% to 15% game will automatically be more balanced.
    my buff list: ram nemesis form, brig armor, ana and mei ammo, lw heal, illari heal range, rein firestrike dot damage
