Breakfast Topic: Which Overwatch heroes need to be nerfed?
The way Overwatch heroes are balanced to counter each other is a thing of beauty. It’s like a futuristic shooter version of Rock-Paper-Scissors, except Rock is a giant blue hyper-intelligent space gorilla, Paper is a masked assassin wearing a Trenchcoat of Infinite Shotguns, and Scissors is a cybernetic robo-ninja.
Of course, that being said, we’ve all had those matches. You know the ones I’m talking about, where one particular enemy player just seems to dominate your entire team, no matter which heroes you try to counter with. Or heck, when your team gets overrun by six of the same enemy hero and there just doesn’t seem to be anything you can do about it.
(Note: an all-Winston team is easily countered, but freaking terrifying.)
I asked Blizzard Watch’s own Matt Low what he thought, and he had this to say:
“OKSDNFOSDNFKJDSNFKJNERKJSDNVC BEING FROZEN AND BEING UNABLE TO RESPOND OR REACT OR LITERALLY DO ANYTHING AND THEN THEY JUMP AROUND SPRAY PAINTING THEIR FACE ON THE FLOOR WITH A ‘WELL PLAYED’ BEFORE PUNCHING ME IN THE FACE IS ABSOLUTELY CROSSING THE LINE”
(I think he dislikes Mei.)
Which heroes do you think are overpowered and need a bit of toning down? Personally, I nominate McCree. I mean, the man’s a chronomancer. How are you supposed to compete with that?
