No. I agree. Not every character needs that. But ball is missing something and when the hog rework is finally out ball will be the worst pick in ow2.

@@ashirii8347 For someone who plays pretty much only Ball, that would be amazing for me. Body blocking is one of the worst things happening to me. Not only does everyone switch to CC characters to counter you, but whatever they play, technically ANYONE can be CC to Ball with body blocking. Essentially everyone can screw you if they get close to your face (which I assume most people do unconsciously since they can't aim, and don't want to miss, so they get close. And those that do it consciously , in an organized way are a complete menace to me) . Ruins your momentum which is required for most of your gameplay.

​@dennisschluter2695 Perhaps the best option would be to expand the tank roles passive knockback reduction to include a cc reduction of 15% to 35%. This way the cc abilities won't need d to be adjusted on each individual hero, breaking every sing one as the agonizing string of tweaks and ballance adjustments go through. It would also make tanks feel tankier, if not important again.

They set the precedent with Doom and they’re too stubborn to admit their faults. The only realistic way forward with Ball that preserves his current gameplay is staying in the tank category.

Literally most of my diamond dps losses are because we had passive healbot supports while the other team had an Illari or a Bap out fragging everyone in the lobby while also maintaining the healing our supports had. Support dictates victory in almost all of my games its absurd. Unless your tank is just getting hard diffed or the DPS are insane on the other team its always just supports dropping the ball because they don't realize they're throwing by not trying to kill things and relying solely on the tank or dps to do it while the other supports are hard carrying with frags AND heals.

You don’t withhold adjustments that benefit everyone else that desperately need them just because a very select few make it work.

Your spot on about the philosophy that some players actually believe that tanks can’t do damage and they have no rights. Support is pulling all the fun out of the game right now, you can’t kill them, and the mains themselves are so whiny about their characters getting nerfed. It’s such a bad state we’re in right now.

You can pump constant damage but if you take heat off for a few seconds to retreat or reload more often than not your target just gets away or gets healed right back. And it's hard to dive supports when they constantly keep their tank alive.

wait, lemme cook. To fix ball, here are my suggestions: 1. Add in the microboop, as suggested. 2. Make it that the higher you piledrive from, the more damage it does. 3. Give him an eject like DVA. Once ejected, you play as Hammond, with the same abilities but nerfed to do less damage and provide less overhealth. Dealing damage to enemies with armour will give you 'scrap', which is a different form of ult charge. Once you have enough, you can get back into ur ball. 4. Make his ult 'Autonomous Defence', where he gets out of his ball, entering Hammond form, and the ball just plays the game as an AI. If he wants 6v6 to work, we will give him 6v6. Just in case you haven't realised, this is a joke.

For adaptive shields (Ball otp here btw) make activating shields a cleanse effect, rather than full cc immunity. Shields can be activated while ccd or not, but if activated while ccd, it does a mini self suzu for the ball, like 1.5 secs of immunity. I think thats a fairer take than pressing E and becoming a non cc-able primal winton. If get-out-of-jail free cards are the OW2 way, then adaptive shields should offer a cleanse as well.

Tank player here. I miss 6v6, my favorite game mode was 2cp, and I also miss open queue being the main game mode. It solved the queue issue and made the most sensible players get an edge beyond skill. I think instead of all these overhauls, what they should have done is add a tank queue and an open queue that both go into the same competitive mode and matchmake for the same games. Tank queue locks you to tank but open queue you can choose any character. Tank queue would essentially be an instant game. Dps would share the same queue with support, since they are essentially the same role anyway. You could even do it 1/5 v 1/5 1 tank and 5 open per team, back to teams of 6. Could even do a 1/3 v 1/3 making teams of 4. You could also just set limitations, separate off tank and main tank so that when one player chooses an off tank for example, that section becomes grayed out for everyone else so that you don't have double shield or goats. Can't have more than 3 healers or 3 dps per team. Once someone choose a third dps the role becomes greyed out for everyone else. Can't have more than 2 tanks, once you have a 2nd tank the role becomes greyed out. If you queue for tank you are basically cheating, it's function is basically to have a game instantly but dps and support are greyed out permanently. Games can be made without a dedicated tank player technically, but the allure of instant games should balance that out, or have games with 2 locked tank players.

As a support main, tank secondary, there's far too much healing in the game that tank can't do any damage at all. I honestly believe they made a good move removing CC from dps and support, but they went back on it. Tank should have all the CC, dps should have all the nuke ability, and healer should only have nullified/buff/debuff/escape ability. Mobility creep is the safes creep to have as long as support have escape ability.

I was queueing tank the other day on a cp map and my team was getting destroyed by a widow. I was playing Dva and went to dive the widow to deal with the issue but my supps said that I shouldn't go dive. Now I'm not the highest rank, playing high gold to low plat, but I figured that someone would realize that we would need to dive the widow but no one seemed to get it until I said about it. Mind you my team had a genji and a kiriko so I wasn't the only one who could have dealt with this. I feel that tank just gets blamed for way to much most of the time and that comes from someone who doesn't play tank very often. I also think that dive tanks work well but players around my rank seem to either get that the tank is diving or they don't. If I play my main role of dps, when I see a dva/winton I don't just assume that they will play with the team and not contest highground/ take space so I don't get why other players just assume tanks aren't going to dive in that situation. Maybe I'm just stupid but I don't know.

On average Tank players know more matchups. I will literally swap to Winston if I see that their Genji or tracer is walking all over my team, (or if their supports are being turds on zen/ana.) I'll hard lock Sigma Zarya,or Dva if they go Sojourn, Soldier, Bastion, etc... Reaper players, Sombra, Junk rat, they'll usually end up getting duffed with Ram or Hammer Slammed. Best part is that I don't just insta swap to counter, I try counterplay first because if I can win into my worst matchups with the hero I want then When I've reached a high enough skill level, I can just delete the value from an enemy team comp with whatever's most appropriate for myself and the situation. I would say it's about as satisfying of a prospect as being a one trick would be, it's just easier to learn matchups faster when you one trick.

And if you're really good, you can engage with fireball through a team, and then bounce off a flat wall, do a 180 with your camera, and keep fireball going in the opposite direction. Can you imagine being in a small corridor and having ball boop you back so you have to stay inside, but he lights the ground on fire, and then piledrives you so you can't run away from the fire? This idea is cool conceptually, but impossible to execute.

Sure Hog can still hook into one-shot (might keep this post-rework idk) and Zarya is either top tier or low depending on her balance but Disruption instead of frontline doesn't work when that trade off requires the rest of the team to be able to function without a Tank around them. Either the impact boops or DPS Ball is what he needs, Zarya can work with more tuning.

How difficult it was to have to actually participate in the fight, take duels, use cover, and maje plays instead of just sitting behind the team just throwing abilities and letting your teamates win you the fight. And instead of just letting people adapt, the bad players drop and those who adapted climb, Blizzard listened and made supports even more broken, ruining the game for all other roles.

Considering that the characters name is wrecking Ball, I feel like the timer that limits how long you can use his grapple combine with how long the cool down is on the grappling hook just doesn’t put enough emphasis on the whole main gimmick of his kit I think at least one of those timers needs to either be reduced or completely removed or both of them reduced a little bit. And just to clarify, I suppose I should say that my reduced, I mean for the timer on how long he’s allowed to use his grapple, for it actually should be increased, technically. because I was to be honest when he was first released yet true that the ability to infinitely stay grappled in swinging through the environment was to P. I would say it’s true appoint can definitely be made that now that there’s 100 ways to stand slow him down cc sleep hike etc. there are enough counters to somebody constantly staying grappled and swinging around environment that it wouldn’t happen now anyway if they got rid of that grappler limit for example.

I am a ball main and I think the best thing for him would be to (1) Make it so he can boop tanks without a 20% reduction. (2) Make him be invulnerable to CC when he have shields. However, if you wanted to make him really fun. Make it so when ball hits his adaptive shields…..SPIKES come out and 10% more damage to Tanks when they are booped/rolled through. This would make him at least be able to go somewhat go head-to-head with other tanks. As Yeatle said, there is a whole class (Tanks) that Ball can’t go up against nor should he, in the old 6v6, but now that it is 5v5, you have to re-work him such that he can contend with other tanks. In the old world of 6v6, the non-dive tank would be the anchor for the team but that doesn’t exist with ball so heavily into the enemy backline in 5v5. You need to incentivize ball to stay in the front line fight at least for a small period of time rather than being “fat tracer” and assassinating the supports which has become more difficult as supports have more mobility and cc and as DPS have been getting more CC. I don’t think you should take away Ball’s mobility if they re-work him. His mobility is what makes him the most fun.

A fun buff for ball's ukt would be to make the mines track players if they come to close. Lets say a 5m to 10m radius around the mine field. When a player enters said area 2 or 3 mines start following them at about 90 ish % player movement speed . So you can technically outrun them but they will be hot on your ass. Also buff the damage on his guns with about 10% and lower the head shot multiplier by 0.2. He could also use like 20 more bullets in a mag but that might be overkill if you up his damage. Maybe give him a bit easier boop. Like a speed boost on ground only , that gives you the boop aura ball gets when moving fast so you wont need to graple something to get the speed. Kinda like sonic's ball dash . This acts like a kind of boop or cc and can be used in a lot of ways. It should have quite a cooldown though so it cant be spammed.

H\The topic of Ball, Ball was designed for Widow and Hanzo in overwatch 1. Those characters are still doing the same thing nowdays, not nerfed somehow, and Ball isn't able to keep them in check. Ball needs in my opinion two buffs, one, small boops walking so He can roll without being body block. i feel that when playing him, second, his damage on primary fire, needs buffed. I would say, more damage but less fire rate, to give him a bit more damage to kill anything. Ball with these two changes, with a total rework with Widow and Hanzo, so ball doesn't have to go contest them, while their tank is killing your team. Ball would be a good dive option with Monkey and Dva. I think he would play like Dva since he is better on high ground maps like Nubani, where his design is to contest high ground and take space. He wouldn't be good at stopping all damage, but his ability to kill and displace should help keep certain maps in check. like Havana or Junker town.

I'd be interested in an adaptive shield rework where while the temp shields are up ball can't have negative effects BUT can be displaced. Eg: can't be anti'd, slept, hindered, etc. But can still be hooked, pinned, javelined, etc. I believe it would make way for some breathing room for plays and the ball can be assured they can be healed during adaptive shields

Wanting your character to be good should never be seen as whining, and even if it was it works, look at the support role. Enough complaining and they’ll make you immortal. With that in mind, give JQ 1k HP 😂

After you nerf cc/remove it, there are tons of obvious quality of life changes for most of the cast that would make playing them so much more enjoyable. Really the biggest thing for tanks is cc. Give cass a new ability for mag nade, make ana sleep dart the "enfeeble" effect moiras orb had during beta, remove mei from the game, make suzu either an intangability button or a cleanse but not both, and make life gripped targets killable. A step beyond just straight up cc which would be nice is to remove instances where a hero gets multiple sources of invincibility. Reaper and moira both get free live buttons that can be stacked with suzu, pull, zar bubble, etc which just feels dumb to play against, mercy is invincible with any sort of speed boost unless your dps are goated, and junker queen can just solo your team if you aren't playing the right tank. Its just feels wrong to me that tanks are getting more aggressive kits while other roles are getting more defensive kits to deal with tanks, when it should be the other way around. These super impactful abilities SHOULD be in the TANKS kit, because then each team would be limited to 1. Life grip, discord, res, lamp, suzu, sleep would all be less annoying on the tank role because then you would actually have to enable your tank to make winning plays, instead of praying you have a good match up and farming ults. Im not saying I want tank to be the new power creep like supports, point being all these new heros break the old ones in different ways so instead of adding new supports with busted buttons, add ways for tanks to actually deal with support abilities besides just counter picking.

so the main issue with Ball is that he forces the team to play without a frontline to fail at dealing with the hyper heal creep in the backline. what if Ball has a passive where as long as he's alive and outside of spawn he provides his entire team with a small amount of shield health. like 25 or 50 (numbers can be tweaked). like Sym's old shield gen ult. if he dies or is in spawn, the team doesn't get the SH. or maybe the whole team gets adaptive shields when he activates it (not the full 1000 but like a portion of it, maybe 10-15% of it). I do agree with the minor boop passive, there have been too many times where I set up an engagement and a tracer blinks into my path and stops me or an tiny egyptian lady moves back a bit and stops me before the flames turn on. I don't even mind if it doesn't do any damage, I just need the movement. I do think tanks should be able to body block Ball, though. but tell me why a tiny japanese girl is able to stop a giant metal boulder by simply existing.

As a ball main since his release, I feel like his best play style was dive supports then the team snowballs from there. But as it is now, supports are just so good rn that it’s almost impossible to dive a support. New supports just make it impossible to kill whether that’s lamp, Suzu, LW pull, platform, and now illaris pylon that can now just heal anything ball tries to throw at you. Not to mention the video was correct on how it’s now easy to know if ball is up to something since it’s easy to realize that a giant crab like mech piloted by a overgrown rat isn’t present in battle with the whole team. I don’t really see a way you can make him balanced with breaking him, they’re just needs to be less really good supports. Ana, zen, mercy, Moira, Lucio, and brig are fine, some better than others, but the rest just make ball waste time and recourses for a meaningless dive that any other tank could probably do better. I wouldn’t say the change to make him immune to body blocking would make him good (tho it would be very useful and make him more fun) I think he might just need a rework and start from the ground up. For ideas to change him, idk, just make him good again, I miss playing my main T^T

solution, just give us the first version of ball. with the sonic spin dash, old pile driver, and his dual flame throwers then just give him winstons bubble but attach it to his body. it'd work great pinky promise or the other direction and give his attacks armor strip where the damage you deal towards armor will be direct and not reduced by said armor then 2 grapples. plus he used to soft counter orisa then some switch flipped in some blizzard emplyee and said you know what we need the horse to have no fun abilities. but it all started with the orisa fortify headshots being a thing and ball could 1-2 clips on her and shes dead if out of line or without her sheild. because fortify used to force you to not move as fast and Wrecking ball could just out manover around her. but then he got slowly nerfed over time now with the change to 5v5 they did jack didly to help him in anyway to 2 because once again orisa overnight became a hard counter for wrecking ball then every character added makes his case worse tbh here's a few more ideas make people hit by full speed boop light on fire and maybe a more simple idea like a rock where wrecking ball might have a medium speed mode and if he hit them they get booped a little and take a little damage and possibly a unique low momentum passive like instead of or normal passive when you fall off something you will do a tiny but of a upward boop and tiny bit of damage. and his attaptive sheilds were like winston's bubble but with adaptive sheild info and possibly some rework to his bullets because they are almost useless like i don't think any character but winstons basic shock. like his gun were for finishing off enemies so what if his guns had ammo efficiency gets better with the more damage hes dealt meaning he can mechanically combo his abilities for more damage. so VERY OUT OF POCKET IDEA but Adaptive sheilds should shock people you run into but don't bump into. and maybe make mine fields mines more like sea mines like fewer mines but alot larger like the mines in the first archive mission like 4 giant ones instead of a bunch of tiny ones. plus itd be a bit nicer tuning because wreckingball is in a horrible spot atm

Id say for making him unable to be body blocked: It doesnt have to be a "boop" or even deal any damage. Just slightly push enemies out of the way when they come into contact.

For the CC immunity idea, maybe have that be part of when he's in "fireball" form instead. Couldnt CC him on the engage, but you could as he goes up for a piledriver

Give cc immunity in some of his kit. Like during first few seconds of Adaptive shield, at max speed, or during pile drive. That way bad plays can be punished.
