Note; a new experimental card has already gone to live upon recording this video, but many of these concerns may still persist as long term problems Blizzard will have to address properly to see the game function well. Being too reactive to micro manage the performance of the community, when they may just need to learn the game first will cause yo-yo balancing that we don't want. Luckily, some of the mistakes detailed in this video look to be quickly addressed, but we're not done improving the competitive balance philosophy quite yet, so I still wanted to publish this one to air out these concerns. Be sure to check back soon for the next video reviewing the experimental changes!

When genji was considered overtuned, we saw nerfs almost within the week @PlayOverwatch ...
The brig buffs MUST be reverted ASAP
After doing so well (which was universally accepted) how have we not learned this hero fundamentally breaks and ruins the game.

Brig and widow every game tell me where the fun is!?

Game pre patch was fun when there was no widow, now its not fun even if there is no widow. Sadge

Bap’s lamp should never ever give immortality thats just extremely toxic unfun mechanic. In my perfect world lamp would block set amount of dmg or give idk maybe 50% dmg reduction to all in range.

Genuinely honest question here, can someone name a single positive thing brig has brought to Overwatch? Making a video about the hero soon but I’d like to be fair and cover all my bases

She brought the ability to take platinum players to grandmaster, skipping the learning curve of the game. Lol

I think 80% of the tank players just dont play the game anymore because winston, reinhardt, zarya are not even remotely fun to play in to the current meta
unlucky!

overwatch went from a 10/10 to a 3/10 in a matter of one week, this patch needs to be reverted in 7 days time

TRUE i hard forced rein in season 17 because shatter was good and if it hit EZ team fight, it’s now also ass so there goes that 🙂
