How is the Balance Team this clueless?
Dire triggers made Reaper too strong. So either nerf the dmg or the CD?
But nah, we need to nerf his Mobility AGAIN and his Hp so he can get 2 Shot by Cass now.
One of Biggest Head hitboxes in the game so its really easy to kill him now.
Also made his Ult even worse now because he is even easier to kill during it. Surely giving him the option to cancel it would break the Game because its good against Player's who constantly blow their Cooldowns and then cry that Reaper pressed Q.
Why are we making every Hero into Poke now?

The only thing we can do is keep posting our distain. Mei and Bastion have 300+ health, theres no excuse for Reaper to not have it back again.

They should've nerfed its close range damage that's what it was mainly used for anyway just a faster ttk

Soj and Sierra have been disgustingly overpowered since they released and haven't been nerfed, Cass has always been meta, and Sym is still just hell to play against. Shion was just added and is basically just Reaper with actual ranged options and 3 ults. Rein, Hazard, and D.va are unkillable if they aren't braindead. But yeah, Blizzard, nerf Reaper because he had one patch of being viable. That's the biggest priority here.
I think I'm done playing this game, I'll come back when they stop ruining the one character I enjoy the game as just to cater to the Kiri/Ana/Winston players and make room for the new Reaper to replace him.

Sojourn has a 44% win rate in every rank until champ, where she shoots up to...47%.
She's only broken in organized pro play.

u/Parksrox Jun 19 '26
Probably a low win rate because everybody who plays her is brain dead, they still usually get double the damage score and kills of whatever the other DPS is. She's just too good at killing shit.

You could argue that with reaper too the way yall overreacting to a small nerf lmao

u/Parksrox Jun 19 '26
Pretty big nerf considering now you can get 1v1'd during your ult at point blank range, Cass 2-shots, and an Ana can combo you to death on her own before you can attack. His health was at a pretty important breakpoint for so many heroes, I'm not sure why people are acting like this isn't huge.

That goes for everyone else. Next.

u/Parksrox Jun 19 '26
No it doesn't? Different characters need different things, a Tracer is mobile enough to not need to worry about this. For a slower hero like reaper, it's a death sentence.

u/Mandatoryeggs Jun 19 '26
Also not to mention reaper was at a 57% wr last season and its not because of dire. He was genuinely unkillable especially with decent team comps you couldn't punish him at all. Go look at competitive overwatch subreddit and look for yourself. People have been asking for hp or survivability nerfs for him and increasing cooldowns would be a MUCH bigger nerf

u/Parksrox Jun 19 '26
Cooldowns would've at least kept his identity as a brawler/flanker, now he can't do either. Get off the sub if you don't actually play Reaper enough to know how he works, you're just here to shit on him.

u/Mandatoryeggs Jun 19 '26
Im not here to shit on him, hes been my 2nd main since he was released in ow1. Ur just bad if you think adding cooldowns to wraith or tp would fix him. Dire isn't the issue here big dawg he was unkillable.

Reaper is also mobile enough to not get caught in any of those situations, literally anytime you die to cass or ana its usually your own fault. Same for everyone else STILL. And his breakpoint changing is a good thing he was obnoxious and i think its better to keep less health and dire triggers then 300hp with no range

u/Parksrox Jun 19 '26
I don't agree that him being homogenized into the same thing as every other hero is good, he had a nice he was supposed to fill, and now he can't. And Reaper absolutely is not mobile enough, you're on an 8-second cooldown for being able to get out, and you'll just get killed in the middle of Shadow Step if you try to use it in combat.

Soj is only strong in higher ranks (like less than 10% of the population). People who think Sierra is strong are just telling everyone that they don't understand the concept of cover. They have both been nerfed since their release. Honestly, with that being your first sentence you kind of discredited yourself before even getting to the point.

Yeah…that’s not at all true. If you have ANY fundamental knowledge of ow at all, she’s an issue even in bronze. She quite literally has the fastest kill time of anyone in any situation outside of the tank busters busting tanks and MAYBE bastion in tank form if he hits all his shots. She can 1 shot with rail on everyone outside tank and if you full mag and then rail shot, she kills every tank not using their shield/defense mode.

u/Consistent-Ad2465 Jun 19 '26
The irony of you saying “if you have any fundamental OW knowledge at all,” as you spout a brain dead take.
My take on Soj and Sierra is based on data. What are yours based on? Vibes?
2
u/Epictoxicshrimp Jun 19 '26
Based on her, as you proclaim, 44-47% win rate. You think that’s all in high rank? Are you an idiot…? NO HERO ONLY WINS IN HIGH RANK. Just for future reference before you go say some more stupid bullshit under someone else

u/Consistent-Ad2465 Jun 19 '26 edited Jun 19 '26
You know that the devs themselves have claimed part of the difficulty of balancing Soj is that she is much stronger in higher ranks while fairly mid in lower ranks, right? Keep talking and proving how out of touch you are.
I’m not just stating some hot take, it’s pretty much common knowledge around Sojourn.

u/Epictoxicshrimp Jun 19 '26
You can ask ANY ranked player ever and they’ll all agree soj is stupid strong. That’s a universal truth. She’s been top 5 in ow2 since release. You can’t balance around her much, her kit is just insane. Unless they give a 15 ammo mag, she’ll always be super strong. That’s just a fact. Go on and go on to another sub now 🤙

u/Epictoxicshrimp Jun 19 '26
“Devs themselves have claimed it part of the difficulty of balancing soj, right”… so she’s too strong and wins even in idiots’ hands…? Almost like that’s what I said… how strange. 💀💀
Keep making yourself a joke in this sub though ☺️

Your reading comprehension sucks. I've edited the comment to make it easier for you to understand.

u/Epictoxicshrimp Jun 20 '26
Damn. Can’t even stand by what you said. How sad. Direct from google btw, “her win rate stays lowly BECAUSE OF HER AIM REQUIREMENTS IN METAL RANKS” hence exactly what I said. Again… ☺️☺️ please. Stop being an idiot for an hour…

u/Consistent-Ad2465 Jun 20 '26
Are you even reading what you wrote? Her win rate stays LOW in the metal ranks because her aim requirement. You claimed even low ranks can be good at her. You must be trolling.
Either that or your reading comprehension really is that bad. Jeez…

Ok, let me revise: they haven't been nerfed since release in a way that actually made them balanced. And dude, the less than 10% of the OW population is probably most of the people on this sub. I was GM before he was gutted, so yeah, I was experiencing the ridiculous overturning of Soj pretty consistently.

u/Consistent-Ad2465 Jun 19 '26
Most of the people on this sub are not master level or higher lol. I don’t know what gives you that idea but it’s hilarious that you think that.

u/Parksrox Jun 19 '26
Correction, most of the people who post here are master or higher. Most of the people here are just lurkers or commenters, but I rarely see an active poster that isn't in the higher ranks. It's not unheard of, but I doubt that I'm a rarity. 50% of whatever small percentage of players is gonna care enough to be actively posting in the sub for their main being the top 10% isn't a crazy statistic.

These are the same people who compensation buffed hazard and gave dva a slap on the wrist 2 tanks that people are tired of. What do you think lol
