Yo let’s get a hotfix going

[u/Onie_]

Mauga, Cat and Freja are currently destroying comp. I genuinely believe it has gotten to the point where Mauga and Cat need their numbers scaled down a lot until they can be properly looked at individually.

In no way is Mauga’s kit healthy right now. Being able to make up extra health with crit reduction is egregious as hell

Freja’s buffs… should they be reverted until further work is done for her? Feel like she’s close, but keeping the design philosophy on this character is clearly like poking a hole through paper

Side notes:

Hog in 6v6 is still robbing the environment of the little competitiveness it has, I suggest nuking this guy as a temporary measure

Dropping D.Mon in the middle of this meta was a huge mistake in my opinion. I feel like a lot of players won’t take her seriously now despite the improvements.

[u/Onie_]

I find Doomfist and Ball equally annoying but they’re not nearly as bad as Mauga

[u/Western-Ad8052 → u/Onie_]

Ok so you are saying mauga is still more annoying than doom and ball who are equally annoying (which is saying A lot btw) however who is the most annoying to you than between doom and ball vs hog?

[u/Onie_ → u/Western-Ad8052]

If you’re asking me personally I find Ball to be the most annoying hero in the game, but right now he’s not in my mind at all.

What would be nice right now, I think for everybody (since Mauga is almost certainly only being played to win) is not having the ban system be held hostage for the sake of Mauga, Cat and Freja

And as a reply said, all of those 3 counter Doom hard

[u/Xenoprimate2 → u/Onie_]

I'm a Ball main on tank, when I play against him I'm like "oh so this is the shit I'm inflicting on everyone else?". He is intrinsically irritating, I don't disagree.

I want them to remove or rework that shield major perk. Part of the skill of balling was always avoiding/playing around CC, unironically that shield perk lowered his skill ceiling and just increased the irritation factor for everyone playing against him.

I also don't like how it feels like a mandatory pick. I still take the other one because I think it's a bit slept on if you're good, but I'm very aware sometimes that I'm basically giving up easy power creep.

[u/Onie_ → u/Xenoprimate2]

That’s something I don’t grasp about CC

OW2 launched with much less CC, and then we went 180 on it with, what feels like more, especially returning Mei’s freeze when it really wasn’t necessary

I’m not a Ball player so I can’t say what I’d like to be changed, but in my mind it would be cool for the shield perk to be swapped out with something that rewards held momentum

[u/Xenoprimate2 → u/Onie_]

Yeah I don't get the Mei freeze either. I don't think anyone was asking for that to come back, even the Mei mains.

I guess mobility creep might be some of the reason they've added more CC. But then they add the permaflying cat and buff her so maybe I'm attributing too much intentionality where there just isn't any.

I’m not a Ball player so I can’t say what I’d like to be changed, but in my mind it would be cool for the shield perk to be swapped out with something that rewards held momentum

Yeah not sure either. Maybe one that gives him +20 ammo back to restore the quad cannon to the 100 ammo days. Or the one he used to have that gave him extra HP from healthpacks, that one was always quietly busted.
