Why I Love Orisa Metas

[@ellibean321]

If you ain't malding you ain't playing OW

[@Cervan]

this game isnt call of duty, the purpose of the tank is to make openings and/or space, to make plays essentially. yes "just heal whoever ball/winston dives" is simple, but you are diverting all healing focus to the character that is being dived, leaving other parts of the team open to being picked off. ball is the master of diversion, he is the quintessential "hey look over there" kind of hero, his primary tool being chaos that he brings to the table. When your ana cant simply sit in the corner and healbot it means the rest of your team suffers significantly. It also means the sleeps that she would potentially save for shutting down ults, needs to be needlessly wasted on sleeping the ball on cooldown. Another thing that really helps ball is he is unaffected by ana nade, anti-healing is pointless on ball.

[@thedapperrat]

its probably because I'm in lower ranks but diversion genuinely isn't enough to win most games. Without the kill potential a tank is kind of a non-distraction and I see this play out all the time when playing against ball in my games. Ignoring ball quite often always leads to winning and he's easy to ignore because he's a non-threat. Ball tends to be the most egregious example but this feels true for Winston as well and even Zarya provided that she isn't charged. For Support I main Ana and I figured out quite quickly that Sleep Darting Ball is useless unless he is one of the last enemies alive and that's because even if he dives me my other support can incredibly easily heal through his damage, or I can survive with nade and dart long enough that his backline wont be able to survive a stacked frontline.

ball is all about timing I hit masters on ball last season, you really need to pick a target and only focus them and once they swap sombra its your main priority. All you need to do to climb on ball is make sure you have grapple when you engage especially when you're in gold they won't be able to punish you never ever use grapple to engage. Theres always somebody out of position you just need to abuse it

[@mgideon98]

I don’t care how much you like balls dude.

[@marcusmccool160]

I've been thinking about learning ball. When you say pick a target and only focus them. Do you mean pick a hero and exclusively target them or every time you dive, assess, and fully dedicate to whomever you chose?

[@supersonicman4353]

Idk I'm a one trick doomfist main and for me it just feels better when they counter pick because that means they gave in and they are the worse player and for me it feels even better when you still cook them because they don't know how to play the character they swapped to and they just fall over. idk maybe its a toxic mentality but that's what helps me cope with counter swapping and when I lose I don't really care its just a game

[@ncm-uz6fm]

I kinda get this mentality, but I disagree with quite a few points. Firstly, reaper isn’t really that good against Winston, and I’m pretty sure the new armor changes don’t even change reaper’s damage per shot at Winston. I might be wrong but iirc he has like 10 max damage per pellet with headshot and there’s like a 70% cap to dr or smthn. Also, mostly what you should do if someone is counter picking you constantly, especially for something like dva into Mei bc that’s not really that hard of a counter (saying this as a dva one trick) is conserve your mobility. Can’t really do something about ball sombra tho. Anyways, why I hate Orisa meta is because she is a boring tank and there’s nothing you can do about her just living until her supports die, and she makes any other tank unable to make plays due to her effective immortality. Also javelin ult cancels are annoying as hell.

[@andrewwoods868]

People who swap to counter someone and only focus that person need to touch grass. Like bro I am in quick play I just wanna play the game and have fun not have a sweaty death match for 15 mins

[@ViewtifulJae]

Literally one of the most annoying characters to play against. Also hate how you can see her clearly throw the spear and miss and it still hits you like 90% of the time. Winston and ball are also not my favorite tanks btw . IMO I really like ramattra, and I think junker queen would be pretty cool if she got the scream a little more often . I don’t like how much damage Winston does per second it’s insane and ball is ok but he’s hit or miss depending on who is using him. Hes not the most reliable and by nature of playstyle he leaves most his team as sitting ducks Orisa. Would be ok or more tolerable if she didn’t get increased damage over time for spamming her gun . Pay close attention to how she gets kills. A lot of the time yea its cuz she can’t die but what makes it worse is that even if you know her damage increases the way it happens and what little she has to do to get the increase pretty much will catch you off guard most the time and it ends up feeling like wtf just happened cuz you went from 250 to 0 in a way that felt impossible to react to . Also watch her just spam the gun and get kills off of 1 or 2 stray bullets with increased damage that just so happened to hit you or a healer in the head so now they are dead or one tapped just because orisa accidentally shot them while spamming smh

[@possumwithacowboyhat5140]

Skill issue

[@bobbymcjoey9432]

You did not just say Winston has insane DPS lmao

[@ViewtifulJae]

@@bobbymcjoey9432 with the current health pool of support and most dps I would say so

[@ViewtifulJae]

@@bobbymcjoey9432 just him jumping on you does enough damage to kill a squishy in a few shots as long as he’s getting decent support . Don’t forget they made anyone with decent mobility have smaller health pools

[@ViewtifulJae]

@@possumwithacowboyhat5140🤦🏽‍♂️

[@redish2098]

i disagree on the brig point, her entire existance is to counter dive, when someone picks her it is a counter pick for the potential dive pick from the enemy

[@thedapperrat]

I agree I just more so meant the person didn't pick Brig because I was playing dive, they just picked her because they like playing her so it doesn't nearly sting in the same way.
