I can't other than old rat being worse than all of them and needing the buff the most.
Torb needs several QoL things to make him not so fragile, like a smaller head hitbox and more health. His turret would also make use out of higher DPS when not ulted as it is he's really just useful when ulted to stop weeb from wiping your team with sword.
Mei needs a reason to exist. M2 should freeze people on headshots and m1 should just do more damage but just slow.
Bastion needs another 100 armor and tighter spread.
Adam Long
am I wrong i agree with bastion idk about the othertwo

I get that every hero in the game NEEDS a red and a blue skin for eSports, but why is it getting priority over game replays? I just want to make a cool, slow 360' pan degree spins around my hero whilst I figure out where the fuck I am going wrong. Though I would be OK if they were exteneding Junkensteins Revenge to all of Eichenwalde/Adlesbrun. I want a longer PvE experience damnit!
Levi Morales
Junkrat's kill potential is now too high, so we're going to reduce his damage.
We also feel that all the supports except for Lucio deal too much damage, so we're reducing their damage. Lucio will have his damage increased and he is now immune to CC effects.
Brody Russell
anyone else not care about winning when you get stuck in a team with stubborn cunts?
Camden Hernandez
i feel as if either people are really bored and wanna play dps or the SR system went bananas and placed everyone in plat-diamond

>Rat Was fine and finding a place in the meta for his trap. Now he has an extra mine and can destroy his own trap, his niche is gone. We don't need more midrange DPS
>Torb Needs a damage revert and his headbox made not to include his sensitive beard. Other midrange DPS currently does his job better and with less risk.
>Mei That tbqhfam. Surprisingly, she shouldn't be focused on midrange DPS.
>Bastion Needs a revert, with the moving/uninterrupted healing left on. He was fine as he was and didn't need to be nerfed in anticipation for Orisa. He used to have ample long range capabilities and could deal with Pharah/Pharmercy very well-yet here we are with a Bastion which barriershreds at a very slightly better rate than before in exchange for his first shot accuracy/range.

is it true guys?
Henry Bailey

Evan Williams
He was always playable in solo q, contrary to what shitters believe. You deal and soak consistent damage, you are not a one shot tank.
Isaiah Gonzalez
they should nerf the fire rate but buff the spread on his gun so it actually feels like a shotgun, but other than that hes good
Ryan Scott
No, must have been a dated video. He still can't do anything of significance atm, and the APEX's are showing it in particular. If I remember right, he is still the least picked tank/DPS in the tourney and has the lowest winrate alongside. Fuck, even Torb and Bastion are in a better place in APEX than the Pig.
>tl;dr if the gooks can't make him work, chances are he ain't gonna work
Angel Foster
when your smurf has less toxic people while being in lower rank Lolwat
i swear if this account turns diamond also im just let it decay into bronze
Parker Morris
even pre nerf nobody picked hog in pro games
Jason Reyes
you can't decay past diamond if you don't play, you only drop ranks if you play but play badly
Kayden Green
>he was always playable in solo q Up until mid-platinum After that, the DPS learns how to aim and you turn into a bullet sponge that spends most of the time running back from spawn
>nerf a hero with no damage potential even more >nerf the only hero in GM with a sub 50% winrate >Torb/Symm/Bastion is literally better than Hog in GM, and by a long shot Since when did so many shitters start larping as if they know what they are on about? Or are they just DPS mains who don't want the punisher to return?

Not bad. I might see Plat this year.
Isaac Wood
> What? He was a must pick like Lucio because his hook punished being alone desite (like Lucio) the rest of his kit being kinda shit. He was the reason anything but Dive was ran since hero limits became a thing. Simply put, without Hog mobility>no mobility every time. Hence why Rein, Orisa, Zarya, all 4 snipers, all of the defence heroes, Mercy and Reaper took an eternal tumble with Hog down to F-Tier

So am I going to place closer to my last season high (also career high) or where I was when season ended?

A few hundred below your last season end.

Aaron Torres
Not anymore, they changed it. You get placed properly but don't get the ubergains at the start. Watch the ficking Dev Update vids
David Clark
i only hate Hanzo's/Tracers/Sym's/Widow'symb who cant get a kill and wont swap off
be all means play the fucking charcater but get kills or help the team and get off it for a better pick

Christopher Green
>get kills by spaming arrow at the choke >high skill
Christian Hernandez
Not as sweaty as Tracer gets when she's munching box, if you know what I mean. She works up a real sweat pleasing all the fifteen girlfriends she's got. It's tough work you know. Her tongue is perpetually sore, did you know that? Just one of the difficulties of being the cutest dyke in the world, heh. I mean, Tracer gets so much god damn clam you'd think she was a... Clam fisher, y'know? Tracer is a walking clam vessel, and believe me, her snare is deployed, too, so she's sucking up clams left and right, and that's just the end of story.
Gavin Cooper
Yeah but thats probably because i'm looking at widow or mercys asa
Oliver King
Honestly the "durr place low but boost SR for wins" was so retarded
If you got hit with lower placement SR you got laughably easy games that were total stomps which were basically a giant waste of time until your SR climbed back to your previous season high. I'd prefer having all MMR being reset at the start of each season and have the first 10 games give you random matchups (unless you group queue) and use the internal MMR adjustment vs other players of that hero to give the initial placement. It would shut the "ELO hell" crybabies up

Yeah, well, I hit master with a about ~60% winrate on roadhog, so no, people don't learn how to aim until maybe gm.

Isaac Hernandez
>frozendeath REMOVE ME FROM THAT COLLAGE
Brayden Williams
Nah it ain't that simple. Although the MMR system is kinda shit already, with the first placements you ever do being the only real important ones, the problem is that those first placements already collect quite a bit of info from your first 25 levels (watch the fucking dev updates, read devposts etc) hence the Lv25 limit instead of instant compplay. It means that in theory that smurfs are quickly weeded out and put at similar skill levels and your first placements are starting at a relatively strong level of where you should be. Thats how a T500 smurf with 10 wins gets Master placements wheras a Plat smurf with 10 wins gets put into Plat from placements.

why are queue times so high? used to be 10 seconds, now it's 1-2 minutes at best
Nathaniel Davis
yea, thats pretty much diamond
Liam Butler

Isaac Torres
You know you'd get better gains with an off meta/unused hero right? Check OmnicMeta for that shit, but you'd probs get a good amount more using McCree over S76 because simply put, less people to be worse than.
Ian Clark
>tfw you learn how to Hog 2.0 He's pretty good, but his biggest weakness right now is his spread. Skinny targets are insanely hard to hit properly. His damage is good, but you do need to land two shots to kill squishies now, which isn't so bad because of the fire rate. People say he's an ult battery, but that isn't really the case if you just stick with your other tank. The best thing to do with your hook isn't to go for solo kills anymore, it's to break up enemy lines and get the rest of your team to focus down whoever you yoink. The new heal is a huge improvement as well, he can facetank almost anything now. I think for him to be in a good spot, they'd need to a) reduce his hook CD to 6 seconds, and b) give him slightly less spread.
Jordan Wright
They fixed that, doesn't work anymore
Ayden Bell
Does anyone else constantly queue and leave games until they get the game mode they want

>Mei needs a reason to exist. M2 should freeze people on headshots Too strong, Mei doesn't need to be a sniper >m1 should just do more damage but just slow. Better, since it encourages going close range and killing people slightly faster when outnumbered
