Different strokes...
Like I understand that, it's just that again if you are going to give them good DPS then you need to offshoot their mitigation, especially since they keep either nerfing the DPS damage or overtuning the Healer's HPS to "make it fair for the tanks".
They've actually been buffing the dps. The only dps that was nerfed was Widow who absolutely needed it. And this coming from a Widow main (granted I flex so I play almost everyone but still)
And yes, Brig alone was the reason I quit the game because I knew that they was going to keep doing it especially with Ana's bullshit when she was released and they still didn't truly fix the most overtuned part of her kit(the Grenade).
Ana has never been bullshit though. Her anti healing was fucking needed in a game where Mercy could bring the ENTIRE team back to life and Transcendence made your team untouchable outside of oneshot headshots. The only thing you could argue was really overtuned was nano considering it turned Rein, a tank, into a mobile death fortress. It got touched multiple times as well.
Brig was definitely busted but it came on the backs of assassins like ,Tracer and Genji literally wiping entire back lines with no counter play which was making healers not bother playing the game. Tracer to this day still has no actual counter in the game. McCree is the closest thing and a good tracer knows how to dance around his flash bang. The originally tried to mitigate this by adding Moira but eventually peeps learned how to play around her too. So brig was the attempt at making the support role not absolutely suck ass. She's currently hot garbage though. They added Baptiste later so that at least he would take some skill to do damage with but peeps would good aim found he was busted as he could do more dps than Mccree at the start which has also been corrected. He still does decent damage but only if you hit all headshots
Moira pretty much has to DPS due to how her mechanic works and usually, the Moira can just guarantee someone's death due to her range and the fact that usually, you are running out of the battle for another skirmish.
Nah. Yeah she has to drain to recharge her healing but thats mainly for peeps who don't understand Moira is semi HoT. You don't need to constantly spray someone down till full health. So a decent Moira isn't going to find herself running out of healing charge especially with orb available. Which is where the choice between dps or healing comes in.
even Reaper comes off weaker than her in pure DPS,
Nah that's, and lord forgive me for saying his, mad cap
Reaper is fucking dumb. He's had tons of buffs since the start of the game. His teleoprt now has iframes, is much faster and he can act from it immediately. He stillhas the highest damage close range (where he should be) and they added healing to him based off the amount of damage he does. Currently in 1v1 or 2v1 with tanks reaper has enough sustain to kill both. Him and Doom are the only "tank busters" in the game.
But them existing doesn't really defeat my point as alot of DPS are not them and they suffer pretty terribly otherwise(Doomfist keeps getting nerfed into uselessness or buffed into being OP for the same reason).
Nah, Doomfist main problem has always been the fact that his abilities are inconsistent. Most of his nerfs were offset over the years too.
That said.................no most dps are in good spots
Soldier 76 was nerfed into uselessness so fucking badly though by the time I stopped playing which was a fucking travesty(though he was buffed into being broken himself before that... really shows how badly the team can't balance shit).
Soldier is busted now too. They virtually removed his recoil and gave him increased range.
McCree was given more health to offset his poor range as hitscan and a faster roll with increased distance. Fan the hammer was also improved a lot
Widow even after her nerfs (they reduced her range so she has to two shot headshot you now from across the map and she lost 25 health) is still the strongest dps and Ashe is just as dumb especially when pocketed. While Tracer has no counter play Widow can one shot from virtually anywhere on the map and Ashe punishes teams for grouping up with dynamite. Everyone still wishes Mei would get deleted and Sym's rework made her ridiculous for capture points. There is no dps thats really struggling right now tbh
