Flats Reacts To The Fall Of Ball In Overwatch 2

I know I am late to the video. Plat Zen here, can confirm that any CC is obnoxious to ball players, even Zen's kick is enough to ruin his day.

I just chase ball around and hack him too cause I hate them.

I think supports just have too much survivability. I was about to put the enemy mercy into the ground, but the enemy lifeweaver respawned in time and gripped her away. Like, wtf?

tbh power creep and healing creep is too much. Example soldier kill time to a 200 hp target is almost close as ashe and so whats the role of soldier then? he is suppose to be the constant damage but not bursty and now he feels like a bursty character? IF ashe or soldier with helix execute their one shot combo perfectly without missing a shot, the target dies even with heals like a one shot. but if u just reload or miss a shot, the target is full hp again like tf??? In the first scenario, supports will complain oh we use all of our cooldowns and i couldnt save them cause one shot and im a mercy main btw. While in the second, dps said oh i did my engange almost perfect and nothing happend since supports heal too much. Supports cant heal one shot but outheal constant damage so people like tracer can barely do anything. Even though a global nerf to dps and supports damage and maybe tanks damage is hated, its needed in this healing/power creep situation we got into.

Road hog is a titanium peashooter now😂

They should make 7 v 7. 2 tanks 3 dps and 2 support

Ik i’m kinda late but they could reduce the amount of shield he gets a lot, maybe reduce the duration of it, give him some extra armor by base, and make him CC immune while his shield ability is active. They could make it so he doesn’t get collision but pushes others instead and another idea; piledriver could disable movement abilities for a second; if that, upon damaging an enemy, that way there’s a second where enemies can’t just use escape abilities and run away from you. They could really take a few chances and put some creative changes onto ball, make him much more of a front line tank; instead of just an enabler for other tanks but we all know they’d never take a risk like that

Faatttt manatees

What if they move the ball to DPS kind of like what they did with doom but reversed

I feel like a short burst dash that's on a Hanzo leap cool down that boops would be a good chance.
Also replace adaptive shield with and ability that ignores cc for a few seconds and gives damage reduction.

They should nerf his size and health, and turn him into a dps

Move him to dps maybe

I think a good buff would be that when he gets the fireball he does burn damage so he doesn’t only have to rely on pile-driver to get that burst damage

Why does his mustache look like the dragon in mulan😂😂

What if popping his shields removes any current cc effects.

genji

Samito was right the whole time

I hope people will appreciate that Yeatle is one of the best players that will ever touch the game.
Overwatch 2 players won't remember when this man marched up the entire competitive ladder, sat at #1 World, and just sorta... Chilled for a bit.

Not even a pro player btw. I highly recommend "Year of the ball"

I know I’m late to this video, but somebody in flats chat (beetle I think) suggested WB have a demech like DVA and just run around as a hamster. Idk how that would buff ball, but I think we should try it lmao

"its rrrrraNKED"

they should make his extra shield a null for sombra

i think they should just bring back the second tank. sue me. having a main tank and off tank gave so much more versatility to the game, and just imagine if they were updating and changing the metas as they are now. if they are constantly shaking up the metas, i dont see double shield being a long term problem. they'd be able to tune back support as well, because it wouldn't be necessary for them to be so buffed. but no one wanna talk about all that i guess

I play a lot of every role so I've always been sensible when it came to buffing and nerfing characters. Ball will always be annoying to play against, but I know he isn't good seeing as I've played ball in GM. regenerative burst or lamp, suzu or swiftstep, lifeweaver's little side jump, sleep dart or nade, moira fade, brig shielding and self heal, lucio boop and self heal, pylon, guardian angel all of these things make it extremely difficult to kill a support and even if they have zen who doesn't really have an effective way to deal with ball dive, if he discords ball and the other support gives him help, you'll not only not kill zen, but probably die instead. Ball is in a really bad place and it feels super bad

I think, and please hear me out, Blizzard should increase his ammo capacity. Not damage, not fire rate, not spread, just drum capacity. To- either 120-160? Anything above 160 sounds overkill.

I want 6v6 back.

Someone mentioned in the chat they never felt truly countered in ow1 but they do in OW2 and I agree. There were definitely counters to certain components but they weren't guaranteed value you had to work for it even running hitscan into pharmacy you had to be smart or tank busters still had to work around a second tanks cooldowns and pressure.

I feel like as a tank player in OW2 coming from thousands of hours in OW1. It's so mind numbingly easy to have 2-3 very apparent counters to a certain hero it doesn't feel fun or worth it to try and push through all that when even your QP matches end with a bastion sym/mei swap after first fight on a non meta tank.

I miss the old Dva bomb to get their Rein to turn and block it and then you shatter him. Honestly the tank combos were so fun back in the day. I'm with Flats on how non lethal shatter is. I get more value solo shattering than knocking 3-4 people down because one grasp on the nearest target for follow up damage alongside only a 2.5 second shatter completely invalidates the ult. One ability.

The original design for ball had short range flamethrowers. I say bring those back and make him a little more frontline viable.

The thing that blizzard and overwatch players refuse to admit, is that Overwatch is fixed by deleting healing. Make all supports dps or tanks.

orangutans can be taught English, it would be so fucking easy to teach it counterswap

wish we still had 6v6

Just give Ball an ability like Orisa’s fortify where he counters CC for a very short duration, like 5 seconds. However don’t give him the damage resistance.

Adaptive shield is called adaptive why not let it adapt.

I feel that in this game both teams just bash their heads into each other and sees who wins, while in ow 1 it felt more tactical with setups and strategies.

I play mei and I'm honestly glad she got changed back but that made her way to good and I am honestly glad she got nerfed but the way she got nerfed still does like nothing

They legit took what i said about how they could fix wrecking ball, and threw it on mauga

Honestly I wish that hero ults start getting buffed/reworked bc why does it take usually a couple minutes to use an ability that does…nothing… like it feels like the only actual consistent ults are from supports. I get that having 10 hero’s being able to have crazy strong ults at once it would become chaotic but they feel wayyy too weak rn

Yeatle is brilliant

one thing i like to do currently is play 2 tank 3 support and have something like ball or rien with orisa, wiston or sigma and 3 support and it is genuenly a lot of fun. i highly sugest people try it with some friends

FLATS WHY DONT YOU PLAY REIN

" all tank players are sensible..... except doom players."
I feel personally attacked ;-;

I wanna know Chasm’s thoughts on this vid

I respect Chazm for not switching up on Ball😤

Ball feels terrible to play rn. So many stuns and the supports can out-heal damage like it never happened. Rough out here for us Ballers 💔

The only thing Ball is good at is stalling a capture point while waiting for his team to respawn and come back.

cough
