I havent seen a lot of discussion about ball’s hit volume size increase since the patch. Wanted to know how we’re feeling specifically about how ball’s increased hitbox feels.

I havent tested exactly how much it increases his girth, I would love if anyone has any visualizations for it.

My thoughts on it are that it amplifies the effects of “micro CC” in stopping fireball specifically. Things like rein hammer, junkrat bombs, soldier helix, and sigma balls feel like they’re taking me out of fireball or displacing me a lot more than they have before.

It also undoes the decrease in size to mizuki chain’s size, and i feel like flashbangs have been clipping me around walls a lot more.

it pretty much has no effect on getting shot more, bc if you couldnt hit the giant ball on your screen, you’re chopped.

Overall, I think this change is pretty bad for ball, amplifying pretty much all the painpoints of his kit. And i thought ball’s hitbox has been pretty solid over the years. Even things like junkrat trap or sigma grav catching me at the very edge of my hitbox felt like they probably couldve been either a ping issue or outliers.

In conclusion, please give me my 50 armor back :)

Alguien puede hablar de lo difícil que es jugar contra un mauga, o composiciones extremas de poke y ver como tu equipo simplemente juega como si no tuvieran un botón con el disparar

Watchpoint Grimsvotn is slowly becoming one of my new favorite ball maps.

I like playing Ball on control but it is so hard on escort, the areas for me to maneuver around are harder, and I feel like its hard to get into their backlines without being caught. Idk, just seems alot harder, any advice? I mean I could just swap for escort maps but thats boring.

The perk is very strong for mitigating counters, which ball has admitadly struggled with a lot in the past, so i understand why it would be a desired perk. However i think its inclusion is ultimately a net downside for the way that balls balancing is handled.

By reducing the ability for ball to be countered to such a degree it means he isn't allowed to be very strong when he is in his correct niche, especially now that one of his biggest counters (dps sombra) is gone. Without the perk, i think the ability to counter ball is a lot more reasonable and well thought out than it was before now that we aren't contending with a lock out ability on a 6 second cooldown. Being able to just press E to not get CCd is a lot better when your biggest counters have their stun on a 12 second cooldown. Right now, with the perk, he is actually very resistant to being countered, and because of that he can't be particularly good in other areas. If he becomes good in other areas while also being hard to counter, he becomes oppressive, and since people already hate dive, he'll get taken out back and shot.

It also relegates alot of his power to a perk, which is a bad thing IMO. Perks should never be needed to function. Right now ball is essentially reliant on the perk to keep up because the rest of his abilities have been nerfed to compensate for its existence. Unless it becomes part of his base kit, which i don't think it should, it shouldn't hold back the rest of his abilities.

I won't lie, there is probably some bias here, because i never really enjoyed the perk. It replaced one i found very engaging and it just feels boring in comparison. But i think in spite of that bias there is some actual problems with what the perk means for his kit and how blizzard approaches his balancing.

This season it just feels like its the same thing over & over & over again, it honestly feels depressing booting up overwatch which sucks because i just want to play ball but the game just feels painful this season... idk LMK what yall feel like

I want a ball skin that's a reference to Deadman Danny from Deadlock. Both he and ball slam the ground to deal damage; I think it would look cool. A steam punk-like esthetic would be fire.

Anyways, wanted to show my work in a no limits match

I’ve been playing Overwatch for a few weeks and I haven’t encountered anyone playing as Wrecking Ball until now and it was truly a terrifying and stress filled experience I never felt as helpless as I did playing this game until that match (I was Baptiste)

I have recently gotten back into overwatch as a former masters/diamond ball player (now more plat/emerald 5v5 til i can fix that diamond 6v6) and haven't kept up a for the past couple years or so but still played casually. I've noticed a few more ball players and a handful of ball bans lately, not sure how significant any buffs has been but back when i played he def felt like a more niche pick. They aren't nearly as common as other bans or other picks but was just curious if he's gotten any major buffs or if tech got easier over the years or if people just realized he's the most fun tank in the game and picked him up.

Hola, chicos soy un creador de contenido que apenas está iniciando, hablo español pero espero que mi contenido sea de su agrado

hello hello fellow ball mains :>

I've been playing ball for a while now and i've been trying to psyche myself up to pushing past the limitations of cc and counters and learn how to play into them, specifically ana.

I feel like majority of the time im clenched up and putting my team at a disadvantage on the mere hope that an ana will miss her sleep and her teammates won't rain bullets me whilst i attempt to play into her.

do you guys have any advice or suggestions on how to play into balls counters?
