Lifeweaver change is what so many people have been begging for, better utility for Petal and more incentive to using your thorns instead of just healbotting. Nerf to Dash also means he's a little more vulnerable to getting dove so he can actually die when you commit on him, I really like the changes they made and hope this helps bolster his playstyle instead of being Diet Mercy that just sits in backline and holds heal all game

I love how overall the change of mechanics was aimed towards forcing, or maybe making obvious the strategies that teams must use to win. This is something that unlikely has any effect on high ELOS but it's going to help a lot the low ELOs to understand their priorities. *Healers having less HP and more damage and healing:* This encourages people to first target the supports in the team fight, as now they're easier to kill and their heal was improved, so if you don't focus the healers, you're likely to lose the team fight. *New wave spawn:* This mechanic helps team to regroup after wiping. In higher elos, people know to wait for teammates to do another push, but in low ELOs, you'll see people pushing towards the enemy alone and dying again over and over making you be always at a disadvantage. wave spawns forces the team to regroup even if they don't want to, giving less room to committing this mistake. So, in my opinion, Season 12 aims to lower the skill floor of the game as a whole, and want to see how much this change works by hard-resetting the ranks.

It’s support not healer first of all and secondly I do think that the respawn system will strongly affect lower ranks like you said.

The new respawn system makes me a bit nervous as it’s not very obvious to players who don’t keep up with OW news or updates. Hopefully it works out tho

This "it's support not healer" was what made symettra so akward to play in the past. She was a defense role (at that time there wasn't dps role) labeled as support, so the team would have 1 healer and symmetra, and just not getting enough heals (there wasn't role queue, but it was kinda a taboo to play 3 supports). Symmetra got reworked multiple times until they finally switched her to dps.

@@pedronunes3063they are classified as supports in the game. The categories go Tank, DPS, Support if you aren’t aware. Supports heal but also provide utility to enable their teammates or stop plays from the enemy team. Their sole purpose isn’t just to heal the team. We know that you can have the highest amount of healing in the lobby but still lose. Your point about symmetra came out of nowhere but I’ll say this. Symmetra was put into the support category because her early kit had an ability that would enable her team. But overtime they changed her to dps because it honestly didn’t make sense to keep her as support since her play style was clearly more suited for a dps. I honestly think calling supports healers is incredibly obnoxious and ruins players perception of what the support role is meant to do. If you believe that they are truly healers then you might as well tell your Ana to never throw a sleep dart, or never use bap’s window, or never use zen’s discord orb. All I was doing was correcting your usage of the word. I believe calling supports healers stems from Jay3’s community. I enjoy jays content but the whole healers not supports is honestly really annoying even if it is a joke.
@pedronunes30632 ай бұрын
I think Symmetra was incorrectly put in the support category, I always defended she should be should from the start of the game because the lack of healing _really_ hurted the team, even if the teleport was useful. I did say heal isn't the only thing a healer should do, but it's the main goal. Zenyatta that doesn't do damage, a Mercy that doesn't damage boost, a Lucio that doesn't speed boost is a bad one. But if those healers don't heal at all, they are just throwing. If a support that doesn't heal isn't a support, I think it's fair to call it a healer.

Zarya is the last hero that needed a buff. She needs a massive nerf. I watch her slice through enemies like butter every single time she's in a match.

If she's anywhere near the point and has even one teammate with her, that's it, you just have to back off and give them the point. Sombra also needs a nerf to her infinite invisibility. That was one of the worst changes they've ever made in the game. Why not just mail out Gamesharks to every Sombra player so they can cheat the entire game. Same thing.

i absolutely love the wave respawn change it definitely makes a different when trying to speed back to fights/points and also regroup (this is my perspective from playing lucio where if i died a few seconds before a teammate i would then have to sit in spawn and wait for them so i could speed us back, when this became multiple teammates the waiting got boring, frustrating and just pointless at times)

wave respawn is good because so many people die and immediately run in to battle not paying attention if other teammates or possibly the entire team has died. preventing feeding the enemy or trickling back.

I guess that's one way to balance the role queues: release a support hero and make support miserable to play in the same patch. It's bad enough that you can turn a corner and get headshot by Widow now we have to worry about Hanzo spam 1 shotting you. Sombra was buffed, yup that's what the game needed. Neither of the OP dive tanks got anything meaningful done to them and in the case of Winston, nothing done to him. Prepare for the most miserable support experience we've had in a while.

They need to shorten the time between throwing out heals and her kunai for Kiriko. They don't need to widen the gap of heals to allow more kunais to be thrown. She is using both hands to do either task, and her heals aren't instant so it's better to have them mid flight to ensure they heal at opportune times.

personally, i think with how op sombra is in lower ranks her health should be a little more equivalent to tracer’s, (maybe even 200) which would make a lot of lower ranks happy as well as the higher ranks. just an unasked for and unpopular opinion. she would still be very toxic, but with a skill tier gap instead of just hotswapping to her and winning the game :)

Maybe if he was actually performing well as some kind of threat, but his win rate is awful. The others have other reasons for the changes besides just being mobile, even when they are all more mobile than Genji too, except for Hanzo. Double jump isn’t much, and swift strike needs reset. It’s also not a good mobility tool given its hit box.
