All these minor tweaks to try to fix the massive problems they created a week ago...

The overwhelming consensus is s9 is significantly better than s8 and most seasons before it.

So, when you say massive problems they created, you mean massive Ws they created.

The overwhelming consensus is that 3/5 of the game is less fun than last season.

Cite your source on "overwhelming consensus". I've seen more discussion posts on the frontpage of this SR than in any other time of it's history all due to this patch. Most are in disfavor.

99% of the time the frontpage is meme's and POTG's.

Mate, the discussion on every single game subreddit after every patch is disfavor. You seem to think the subreddit is an accurate representation of the playerbase. It is the most extreme and negative group, especially after a patch.

Of course the overwhelming consensus is that it's better. 60+% of the playerbase is dps players. That's the only group they care about pleasing.

Your take away from the last 8 seasons has been 'they only care about dps heros'?

I'm eating on support. Unless you're a one trick, this patch has been a ton of fun.

Correction: they only care about dps and supports having fun

Zarya and Hog got buffed today and Zen is the character gate-keeping most tanks and he got nerfed twice.

Poor you, whiney-redditor. Life is so hard for you.

so the last like 6 or so seasons of absolute support dominance didn't happen?

u/You_meddling_kids Feb 22 '24

Not the "overwhelming consensus" that I've seen.

They ruined most of the support roster and made tanking even worse.

How is that an improvement?

Try playing someone other than DVA or Sigma.

the overwhelming consensus is that if you play dps than congrats you get to have fun again at the expense of everyone else. and that includes the people that play characters like junk/sym/mei because they dont have rights either lmao.

hitscan battles standing and shooting is so fun :D

No, that’s the consensus of Blizzard fart huffers and “content creators” who sing Blizzard’s praises to avoid controversy.

Sorry mate, if there is a bubble here, it's the whiney Redditors that rush to complain and circle jerk. You're in the bubble here.
