I see the weekend warriors are out in full force, just been on a team with 5 dps and nobody wanted to switch even after I outed them on match chat.

I wish OW had a perk system. I want things like -10% damage received from Widowmaker, or -50% head shot damage received from Hanzo. Maybe make it so that only certain heroes get certain perks and you can only activate 1-2 perks per hero.

She's on my list of heroes that should just never exist. There couldn't possibly be a more boring hero design, boring to play, play with, play against, and watch.

Orisa shield wars especially are the most mind numbing thing

There are exactly two options in this game to have a shield. Orisa and Rein. What is so bad about her design? Maybe you just hate shields in general.

In order to get the extra comp points for a certain rank, do you need to maintain it by the end of the season or can you fall below?

HAHA! I love how you hate the idea so much that you had to post the pic 4 times to really drive it home. I agree - perk system would be god fucking awful. No offense, Berserking.

Damn dude, I think offense was definitely taken.
Then again he originally self-banned himself because of a terminator 1 thread prior to returning to era. If he exercises the same attitude on ERA as he does on OW, I can see why he hates the game.

Oh shit What did I miss? I stepped away for 10 minutes and he got banned. Jesus. I really meant what I said - it was no offense to him. I've come on here and had bad suggestions many many times myself.

I was kidding, you didn't do anything, the guy had problems long before he migrated to ERA. He really needs a sabbatical from OW, for his own health.

Anyways, I'm over it, he made the choice to post a random pic of a nude dude.

I really hate that Blizzard removed controller aim-assist from the PC version of the game. I get that people were exploiting it but it's unfair to throw a whole subset of players under the bus for it as using a controller without aim assist is a really bad time. I cannot play with keyboard and mouse due to joint pain, and the visuals on the console versions are so much worse than my PC. Sucks that I can only play heroes that don't need any type of accuracy.

Finally back to Masters on Xbox. This time with my best hero, Brigitte. I love playing her like a DPS (aggressive) while still keeping an eye on our backline.

I will probably lose my masters as soon as next season starts because I play a lot with zero fucks lol.

Hit 2500 again after getting to 2475-2480 like 7 times then losing.

Think I'm stopping there for the season. Bought Baseball Zenyatta because damn near every gold item I got out of a chest during the event was coins.

Tracer is alright, Genji one is kinda ugly.

I just can't get over how the actual Pacific and Atlantic skins look like something straight out of a bad cartoon or rejected heroes of the storm skins or something lol. Which is great considering I think league tokens are a ripoff

It would be nice if they sold the regular league skins with an option to not display the team logos and names and just have the color palette. Really not interested in representing an esports team most likely filled with toxic people

These are terrible examples but a perk system that you can upgrade throughout the game would do wonders for this games balance.

Paladins has this exact thing and it makes sure there is counterplay for everything. Block healing, do more damage to shields, take less damage from certain sources, etc.

Overwatch desperately needs actual counterplay in this game or else we are just going to continue with this endless loop of a couple heroes dominating the game every meta.

Like imagine if there was ever actual counterplay to Dva. Maybe she wouldn't be the best tank in the game by an insane margin then.

But this is the same Blizzard who saw all the grav/dragon complaints and thought grav was the thing people wanted nerfed, there's no hope with this game.

Reinhardt is excellent hero design, there are 3 shield tanks, and I don't hate shields.

Orisa is boring because of how she plays
-spam weapon in general direction of enemy
-spam shields in front of you
-fortify whenever someone touches you
-occasionally right click when they're grouped up
-ult when they have shields then continue the last 4 things

Then you have the ever so amazing Orisa shield wars where the 2 Orisas spam infinite shields in front of each other while spamming their guns at each other.

Reinhardt and Winston actually have to do put thought into their gameplay, Orisa is about as mind numbing as it gets.

D.VA? All dive heroes are destroyed by Brigitte. I have 250 hours on D.VA and stopped playing her this season because when there is Zarya, Rein and Brigitte on the enemy team you will just feed them. Sure, maybe you can eat a grav by luck but with Hanzo insane ult charge and damage, good luck.

She is not useless but not like before where you need her every game. Still good for diving Widow or pharmercy.

If Overwatch ever added shitty perks and an upgrade system, I'd stop playing it. And there is counterplay; you change heroes mid match to counter the enemy, unless you're a one-trick.

I just want to jump into the game and play, not micromanage stats during a match.

Perk systems are silly. They reward people for playing the game more and make it hard af to get into it when you're new. It's the reason I left LoL after a couple of matches. The good thing of OW is you can play without that bullshit

Also it's a hero switching game, sure, make your d.va counter build only for it to fail miserably as another character counter.

Idk why people think this eould fix balance, people would obviously find a broken build and explot yhe hell out of it as it already happens in game with meta comps, you'd just go from a hero meta to a perk meta.

I'm sorry but as much as i like ow catering to the casual playerbase,not having that system is one of the ways they reward skill, remove that and we'll only have the strategy bit. I don't really trust blizzard in balancing that and the hero swapping should be the system that makes it unnecessary.

Wanting this is pretty much the same of wanting to be boosted by exploiting the game imo =_=

Mods, plz. Do your job and ban this person. (I'm kidding).

I have to say I disagree with Dva being the best tank in the game by a wide margin. She's strong but I think right now Rein is king.

I've said it before but giving D.Va rockets was a mistake, she shouldn't have that kind of burst damage with her mobility (being able to shoot while moving was a pretty damn good buff already by itself, to compensate the DM nerf).

But now that they made a cinematic with them on... there's no going back. When lore gets that deep, there's nothing you can do.

I wonder if Blizzard would add a tank with an armor-based shield rather than energy. It could be much more durable and be immune to EMP but allied projectiles can't go through it. It could regenerate by picking up armor scraps like Torb.

Over the past few days, my first LFG game with (mostly) randoms has always started off rough, with a bad loss. One of the randos took a flex slot before declaring mid-game he doesn't play tanks, why do this?

Managed to finish yesterday positively overall with a couple of wins but losing games that could be easily won really irk me.

Idk if it's just me but they don't do that much damage at all.

Yeah, I don't know why, but I find Pharah to be way harder to handle on PC than console. Don't ask me why, I don't really get it myself, but while good pharahs were troublesome on console, I could manage them. On PC, pharahs have way higher hit accuracy.
