Wait a minute
Actual genius. Doing Blizzard's job.
^poggy actually huge brain
That Brig nerf seems... insane?
Someone more knowledgeable explain it to me

Still the best support due to her tankiness, healing, ult and stun.
So nerf nerf nerf.
Another solution is to re-work her but hey, adjusting numbers is easier bro.
Yo Bliz is getting spicy with these changes! I actually like all of these on paper, but I'll have to give them a sniff before I put my stamp of approval
Oh FUCK I forgot that Brig had 250 HP and 50 of it was armour
So now she's still tankiest healer with 200 HP, cause 50 of it is still armour
Okay that makes more sense

They really need to rework Brig at this point. I love the idea of a Paladin-type healer but I don't think it's possible to balance her as is. She's no longer fun to play since you can't get up in the action without getting melted (unless you have a really good team backing you up).
Make every tank an off tank and remove shields completely. These can't be balanced either and the game will be more fun without them.
This game really needs a radical overhaul to make it fun again (for my friends and I)

This goes back to a point brought up by Plat Chat, where if shields are gone, maps will have to be reworked heavily. Imagine King's Row, or even Junkertown without any shields and good Widows all around. You could balance damage around, but ultimately the game would have to be changed at a fundamental level to have way more cover than it does now
Or you could just get rid of Widow 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
and Torb, Bap, Ana, Hanzo, Ashe, Mei, Bastion, Genji, Echo, Mccree, Orisa, Zen
This ^ lol. Long Range characters still exist that could easily pick you off that aren't Widow. Also imagine being in a shitty team going against a Pha-Mercy in any open map without shields. Fun
Of those, only Hanzo is a one-shot kill from anywhere on the map. Of those, you can use map geometry and weakened shields to hide from and deal with appropriately. And of those, none of them can utterly disable access to entire swaths of a map at a time without adequate shields.
It's really only Widowmaker that necessitates the existence of shields (and even then, only at higher levels).
I think this is the weakest Inspire has ever been. Didn't it start out the same as Lucio aura at 16.6?
I thought of you instantly when the new modes were announced!
Haha, I've been having a lot of fun on Remix! Being a goalie is some extra pressure, or if you're on the field you can be a sneakity-sneak and get a random ball in when the goalie gets distracted on the other side. Even with the extra obstacles for wall-riding I've been having trouble navigating with the floaty air physics, but all in all it's such a fun improvement on original Lucioball. It'll be all I'm doing for the next few weeks. xD
That's a support main that's had enough. xD
Also, LOOK WHAT MY FRIEND GOT ME YESTERDAY:
You are going riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight next to the big boy statue, my little friend.
I think most Ana mains (and most support mains in general) would sympathise! There are some games where you're constantly on the back-foot and are just non-stop healing, and it's frustrating as every grenade you use to keep someone alive is a grenade you can't use to anti-heal the enemy. Plus, there's this sense that you're having a negative effect on the team as even if you're playing incredibly, all you're really doing is extending lost fights and giving the enemy ult charge.

Nice. I always wanted to get one of these. I'm hoping one for Orisa gets released on day so I can pick one up!
Suspect in what sense? They're probably a smurf, and they might be boosting the Mercy, but they're certainly not cheating if that's what you mean.
Huh? Am I missing something?
His crosshair placement is not indicative of a smurf and some questionable tracking. He's probably toggling.
Man, Winstow with a leap in and out sounds soooo obnoxious.
I need it.
Played a bit of Sigma on Experimental. Changes are obviously a nerf but he's still very playable. Barrier has to be used more to dissuade enemy angles than just straight up cover though.
Didnt help that the enemy team had a braindead Junkrat that thought the solution to everything was charge straight at me every time he saw me. I dunno if I accidentally pissed him off early in the match by killing him or what, but he was just pressing W and firing at me every time he saw me. Free ultimate charge for me every time. I'll see how he plays in more regular scenarios when it goes live I guess.

Juicy bit from Super's stream that might be clipped out there, seems in the OWL Pro/Dev Discord, the Dev team was looking for feedback since they want to have a meta that is exciting to watch ready for Playoffs (Sept 3). So together with this experimental we currently have, we might be seeing some more interesting changes in the next few weeks.
EDIT: Someone did clip it:

Not surprised. I think the devs have wanted to get rid of double shield for a while. At this point they're like, "hey owl players, help us get rid of this garbage"
It should be Tuesday morning I think, so just think of Monday as the last full day.
It will start counting in hours when its less than a day left
Okay cool thank you! A friend of mine is out of town so I'm going to be helping her get the weekly skins.
He's not doing it constantly but he does this flick towards the torso a few times that ends up in the same area consistently
Has there been a big uptick on new players? Or do more people create smurf accounts? Seems like every game I play nowadays has like 2-4 level 1-20.
If you got rid of Shields completely, you'd make like 10% of the players happy but lose the majority of them. Not everyone wants to dodge Widow/Hanzo fire all day.
She used to be one of my mains, now I barely play as her. Her heal is laughably bad as well... its such a huge cooldown for this measly little sprite heal.

I'm 4 wins away from the weekly challenge. I just don't care enough because games have been kinda shit. At least I'll never use the skin anyway.
Boy southeast asia server sure is fun. Funny thing is when I called him on it, everyone ---- as in both the enemy and my own teammates said I was being disrespectful. I can't even.
Safe to say it's just smurfs.
Enemy Team: 2 Bastions 2 Mercys 2 TanksSometimes the Mystery Heroes RNG gods are with you...
My team: All Support and a torb
I have the exact opposite image right now. I want to tear the disc in half.Sometimes the Mystery Heroes RNG gods are with you...

Yep pretty obvious. Dude is legit awful at the game too. Better get use to it if youre playing on Asian servers. Cheating is just part of their culture.
