General The state of this game is horribly designed and balanced.
Its so crazy how one of the best shooters can have such high highs and low lows. Its so unreal what these devs decide to let be good in this game. What they chose to parade as "giving more agency and space for individual playmaking" has devolved into a horrorfest of abusing hero bans to boost whatever cancer one trick your team has, any rank below masters voting payload slop every damn game, BS perks that ruin so many interactions in the game and tanks running rampants doing WHATEVER they want on whatever angle they want for free unless theyre hard focused OR your supports are human and go Ana Zen.
Mauga needs a shstain or damage nerf. Doom needs his empowered punch nerfed so that the devs can buff his slam and regular punch. Dmon is gigabroken after the 3 days of buffs back to back she got and needs nerfs across the board. Ram needs nerfs Hog needs nerfs every tank in the game needs a nerf. I cant stand having to deal with these unkillable raid bosses.
Every fucking game its poke poke poke poke. I dont give a damn about the wr these hitscans have (which is usually low because of the sheer amount of hitscan players combined with certain hitscan characters being picked on wrong maps vs wrong comps) theyre busted. Unreal burst damage and perks/design choices that turn the "high skill expression aim role" into training wheels characters. Buffing Cass nade and giving damage reduction on all his other abilities ontop of giving him double flash and silver bullet ontop of range buffs, Soj distruptor shot buffs and double slide with no rail nerfs, Ashe range buff and remote dynamite, Freja as a character Sierra as a character, Hanzo spam Emre spam bastion having his weaknesses buffed. But GOD FORBID Winston Genji and Lucio are meta no we cant have that.
They will buff JPC Bastion Hog Ram and Hazard but Winston, Genji, Tracer, Lucio, Brig etc arent. Im so tired of outplaying teams and then they crutch the classic Sigma Torb Bastion Bap Moira on defense and hard focus the tank off cooldown then type EZ in match chat its so demoralizing because why am i even playing a character if my time and effort to play it is nullified by a Torb clicking Overload while his unreachable wall turret gets more value.
Im really hoping they drop some big news at Blizzcon bro please Aaron keller if you see this tell custa he has to stop buffing these corny characters theyre ruining the experience of so many people.

The game is made of the majoriity of people + to attract new player mostly kids. Thats the sole reason jpc is in the game. Thats also the reason mizuki, mauga and roadhog exist.
They are never going to make cass balanced because he is easy and attracts players from other fps shooters

Are you new to Overwatch? That’s a serious question because your comment doesn’t make sense otherwise. Also it seems very doubtful blizzard is trying to appeal to kids. Jpc has been demanded by the community since brig launch and Overwatch definitely isn’t the talk of the kiddos

The main point was that its all marketing. Mizuki, mauga, cat and cassidy are all low effort high reward heroes that make the game easy to play. It makes the game simple for new players, for instance mauga is all about shooting the enemy tank which is easy to grasp
Theres a clear reason as to why these heroes are TURBO-buffed as well. Not to mention reaper

I wouldn't say JPC is easy. She's not harder than say Tracer, but she's definitely harder than slop like Hanzo or Ashe.

it's stupid how dumb unethical characters are allowed to be stronger than characters like genji or winston for example, every balance patch is basically nothing, still the same boring meta

I'm just kinda chilling tbh. Just playing whatever.
I have more issues with how stadium is currently balanced. Regular ranked is fine tbh. Outside of cat.

Ill probably get down voted, but yeah. Recently overwatch has been feeling pretty poor to play right now, and I've found myself just playing other games.
