I've seen tier reports that talk about character usage at the pro level. But I'd never seen usage stats at all tiers. Until I saw this:

Interesting how much more Mercy is played at lower tiers than at higher tiers. But Blizzard did mention that she was the 5th most played character overall.

It's odd for a game as old as Overwatch that they are literally constantly PTRing massive nerfs/buffs.

Is it? They were doing it in Starcraft 1 for 3 or 4 years. It depends so much on the meta and how good people get.

Overwatch isn't even a year old. Heroes of the Storm is a year older and they are still doing nerfs/buffs.

I don't expect them to slow down for years. Game is hugely complicated from a balance perspective and is absurdly relevant/popular.

I'm not sure they can, not by much anyway. He's one of those heroes that's good at the bottom, amazing at the top, and bad in the middle. If you buff him, that's just what all the top end games will be about.

Same. Really not fair to treat the same (based on a bevy of statistics and my own experience).

Claytons pictures so true. Always going to have the "its cool to be diff crowd" that wants to pick bad characters in pvp games when its a obv detriment to your team. I'm talking to you Hanzo/Torb mains.

Think their overnerfing her though. Esp with recent mercy buffs and now buffing zens discord they could tone her nerfs down and keep her at least playable.

I'm sure you guys who have played longer than me know about these videos, but I've really enjoyed watching Unit Lost - Great British Gaming's videos, particularly his Over Analyzed ones. Have already learned a lot.

Yeah Stylosa / Unit Lost is great

He is always so hyped for everything lol, it's infectious.

Other ones I like are Force Gaming, similar to Unit Lost but a bit more sarcastic, and then Skyline and Lone Hawk are two that are quite good imo on strat, particularly Skyline. Muselk for lols

Just 4 golds with one death as Zen, where the 1 was me falling to my death as I overreacted to a charge/didn't know the map precisely enough. Thought I'd rewatch it, and I do SO MANY STUPID THINGS. It's interesting how I can see so many mistakes even on a good outcome. Music is only for the first minute. Though it's fun how it interferes with Reinhardt's line at the end.

Very unlikely. If you don't play Ana it may not be obvious but these nerfs essentially disable the only things she's good at relative to other supports.

It's disheartening because there's only 3 healers worth playing (Mercy doesn't count). Going from 3 to 2 is way different than when Dva got knee capped (and Dva is a poorly designed hero to begin with).

Ana's design is so good, tune her numbers to balance her, I don't know why she's being removed. Obviously she needed tuning but we were already getting pretty close with Zen up to 20% usage in comp play.

Anyways, it's no longer my problem since I'm done playing the role they want to ignore.
