Another thing about Zen is that back during the beta, neither of his orbs had LoS durations.

[@nombrepronunciable7851]

[@localmilfchaser6938]

A real sigma.

[@ghoulbuster1]

Sigma is proof that every tank should get a shield or a succ

[@pedroian5964]

​@@ghoulbuster1 is more so cause his abilities allow him to survive while also protect his team. His succ gives him shield and can cancel a few ults, his shield is great for mitigation and for giving teammates a breather or assist and his rock can be used to cancel ults as well as disrupt positioning Meanwhile: Reinhardt's shield is not very practical and severely slows him down, so with the new pacing of overwatch 2, he's in need for a rework. He doesn't have a lot of tools to disrupt like rock, javelin, hook, Vortex, etc. So he gets bullied very easily and his charge isn't really the best for that Orisa has TOO MUCH survivability and can do way too much damage while this survivability tool is up Mauga has survivability that requires him to do insane amounts of damage, so his gamplay becomes "Find another Mauga and see who can keep going for longer"

Also his 1600 shield and generall broken kit was the sole reason double shield became meta.

[@SidewaysGts]

Some other big changes to note: Micromissles were an added ability that Dva didnt have. Bigger for her, defense matrix was entirely different. It was a singe use ability with a specific amount of uptime, and then a cooldown of like 6~ seconds. It took a bit before they finally reworked it to be on a resource meter. Of course roadhog later got Vape on a resource meter, and then got a new ability Pigpen to help replicate his old wombo combo. He lost his secondary shot and his primary shot got reworked to have slugs instead of exploding at a certain point in front of him. Torb used to go around collecting scrap and could throw out armor kits to team mates. Sym has had multiple reworks- At one point she basically had sigmas shield as an ability. Not to overlook her losing her lock on. Sombra was reworked, twice. Lifeweaver used to drop flowers on his death that would heal players when they picked them up. This included enemies. Pharahs flight mechanics have been reworked twice. She was changed to be allowed to fly permanently, and then recently had her movement reworked again to have more air-burst mobility, ultimately given a new ability to air-dash. etc

You forgot the aspect of Scatter Arrow which actually got it removed: what it would do to tanks. The fact that it could 1-Shot Orisa and Zarya, and basically put any other tank in a position where they were bound to die regardless, all just for shooting just at the person's feet.

[@oneiric1213]

Reminds me of the original fan the hammer one shotting tanks too

[@livid_spider]

Yeah that shit was nuts, scatter arrow just deleted tanks if you got that angle right

[@voltdragon]

If I remember the patch notes correctly, the reason why they removed scatter and replaced it with storm arrow wasn’t necessarily because scatter could one shot tanks, but because it was very inconsistent. Sometimes it one shot tanks, and sometimes it did like only 30 damage to tracer. It depended on the distance of the scatter arrow from the target and the slope of the floor it’s bouncing off and the random directions of the projectile bounce. It was heavily RNG dependent so the OW team wanted to replace it with an ability that depended on the skill of the player using it

[@xDjembex]

​@@voltdragon there was nothing inconsistent about killing tanks with it. It was the easiest thing to do.

[@astupidlylongnamethatstoolong]

Thank you my guy there’s a lot more insane stuff so maybe there will be another one of these like did you know about mei being a tank at one point in an expiremental patch lol

id do anything to get dps doom back. It was so much fun doing the seismic slam, upper cut into kill combo back when the only thing that really threatened him was sleep and flash (I wont deny that his full power punch instakilling was busted)

[@madara992]

closest thing you're gonna get to dps doom now is Venture

[@yuehan6711]

​@@madara992And they fixed the design, cool combos now done in tick damage, much more fair and interactive for both parties.

[@kittikorn6674]

it's so fun for doom and unfun for literally anyone else doonfag tears when they heard they won't get cheap kills anymore were delicious

[@lukasg4807]

The punch was not busted at all. Idk why people always waffle on about it as if it wasn't a completely different environment. In the realm of flash etc a 1 shot was not a big deal, and it was not even his main source of damage.

[@Rushi486]

The only thing that made doom busted was uppercut. Sending every character flying in the indentical arc that alowed you to reliably headshot them was broken

[@danielvigario3477]

man, the Flashbang Fan the hammer combo was so much fun (to do, the recieving end wasn't xD)

The should revert orisa to the old tank orisa, tank doom back to dps doom and 5v5 back to 6v6.

@@Miniom56785 no it's not. I was diamond in 2018/2019 when I quit, and after I learned all the changes when I came back in s2 I was right back in diamond again. This gameplay looks bad because it's from people who are new and aren't that good at video games in the first place. Also the game looks somewhat slow because it was a slower game. A lot of the "clunkiness" in the movement, abilities and interactions has been ironed out over the years.

I remember a few things about Sombra: Cloak used to only last for 15 seconds and was an ability you had to actively choose to use, and it had a cooldown. You could not hack people while cloaked. Teleporter only lasted 15 seconds as well and had a maximum range to it, unlike now. EMP used to deal 10000 damage to shields and armor, and would disable all abilities for 10-15 seconds for anyone caught in the radius. Hack used to disable all abilities for 5-10 seconds. I haven't played Overwatch in almost a year now because I cannot stand Sombra's new kit. I tried playing it, but it just is not the same whatsoever. That and I refuse to pay $20 a season for cosmetics. It's not worth the money.

"I Miss Overwatch 1" The Type Of Shit People Had To Deal With Back Then:

[@furry.killer.69]

ow1.5: Kiriko (one of the most broken heroes in the game, suzu, TP, high damage, mobility etc) rock paper scissors tank experience, tank is a miserable role, they don't know what to do with Rein, and they are planning to rework wrecking ball More broken heroes (Sojourn, Mauga, Illari in her release), no lootboxes, everything is pretty expensive, everything that used to be free in the game now u gotta pay to have. And the list goes on with many maaany more reasons👍

[@shadowdragon3126]

[@notice7009]

@@shadowdragon3126 BRO YOU COULD GET IT ALL FOR FREE!!! Now you have to pay to get anything worthwhile, event skins and free skins in the battle pass are very rarely good. The number of skins you got depended only on how much you played the game, not on how much you paid. It was ideal for gamers, but not ideal for Blizzard, that's the reason why ow2 came out.

Omg the 4 sec cooldown on the shield bash THAT WAS ABLE TO STUN THROUGH SHIELD. That shit gave me ptsd. It was like the best stun in the game and it had the second shortest cooldown in the game after tracer's blink

Does anyone else remember the Invincible Bastion Weekend when they first gave him his "ironclad" damage resist passive? The damage reduction would stack with things like nano so a nano'd bastion would straight up survive a D.Va bomb (or any other ult in the game). It was incredible lmaoo

[@erikiancurrie7704]

Additionally back in the beta fan the hammer was capable of turning literally any tank into swish cheese seeing as each shot did equal damage to one of his normal shots which is like 70x6 for a 420 damage burst and then you could roll get your ammo back and do it again

[@mercyI_I]

Wait what are you talking about lmao this sounds super interesting

[@erikiancurrie7704]

Yeah just search mcree old fan the hammer and their should be videos of it

[@astupidlylongnamethatstoolong]

​@@mercyI_IFth did that much damage with no fall offs, on top of that you could unload all of it after flashbang and rolled to reload before tanks could move. So you could stun > fth > roll > fth and it'd instakill reins from full to 0. Every game of Rein v Cree back then was who out game the other, not favouring rein as they can just fth and normal reload to melt your shield faster than even a Bastion would. This is why in old ow1 clips you could sometimes see Crees walk up to the rein and fake look up to throw nade below them or vice versa and the rein instantly dies.
