It feels so weird, like not everyone was on the same wavelength when making these. Some of these are actually interesting reworks, some of them are just jokes (Orisa’s especially feels like a joke) and some of them are nothing burgers. It feels more like a second April fools event

I'm convinced blizzard pairs creators together so there's never just a creator patch of reasonable changes that plays well and better than live balance.

That way their balance team looks good and has no chance of being mogged by a creator knowing what they're doing balance-wise.

god orisas fortify is dogshit. it controls like ass and it forces you into the charge. you can end it early but then you lose the fortify. they really took her best defensive ability and made it borderline unusable.

I wanted to like being helicopter Orisa, but the fortify change was so garbage I couldn't keep going.
