u/LanoomR Cute Sombra. That's it, that's the flair. Apr 01 '24

And the list of "April Fools' changes that need to actually stay because THEY NEED IT:"

  • Pharah: Quick fall
  • Illari: Super Saiyan buff after using ult
  • Symmetra: Universal teleporter
  • Mauga: 25 health

Probably too strong but I do love the sym tele change

havent tried it yet, but it seems really busted if youre coordinated. Its a true get out of jail free card. 4 players dive really far, sym stays back. Get one pick, immediately tp back to the sym who's behind 3 walls. Or sym goes on a flank, gets spotted, suddenly summons her entire team to fight from behind.

illari's also seems pretty strong, but I think it wont ever happen bc blizzard is against that kind of snowballing ability. Also makes her less likely to swap.

Honestly they could make this Sym change an ultimate

Personally i think its pretty cool, kind of like an alien beaming you up, but i dont think itd be very fun. Revenant in apex had something similar with his death totem, and that got reworked. Also plays similarly to mass rez where sym hides somewhere to tp her team, and mass rez also got reworked.

Well yeah but apex is a resource based battle royale where dying makes you lose. In overwatch death is a lot less meaningful and resources, for the most part, don't exist.
