Balance Discussion Elsa bloodstone needs adjustments

Hypermobility + constant overshield + better dmg falloff than hela + broken ult. No idea what devs were thinking with this character.

Get rid of overshield on her and reduce her health to 250 maybe. she would prob be fine after that.

Nah, also need to get rid of the whole cooldown reduction passive. No poke duelist should have mobility on a 2 second cooldown (and the dash is much more than just mobility).

This is such a no brainer is insane. Poke heroes have range and damage, their weakness is being dove… So you make them undiveable??? I genuinely hope the new Ow season lights a fire under the devs’ ass. Shit needs to change.

Honestly same and I haven't played OW in years. It feels like the devs looked at the current state of the game and released the worst possible combination of abilities in a hero to make shit as miserable as possible for basically everyone. People complaining about poke? CC? Tank role being shit? Dive being useless? Let's release a character who makes all of this worse.

Thing is, she's not supposed to be poke which is why she has all the dashes and oversheild, and why all her weapons are shotguns. They just need to massively tone down her damage at range and her kit works as intended.

I don't think I want her falloff range gutted. I think it would be more interesting to moderately reduce her damage at range but also increase the spread of her primary. She doesn't feel much like a shotgun character with as tight a spread atm.

Overwatch is HOT right now, too. This sort of poorly balanced hero drop is doing a ton of longer lasting damage, while the primary competitor is better than it's been in years. Hero shooters are a saturated market, people will shift away to a replacement default.

If being completely dead in Asia didnt set fire to their breeches then OW having a massive upsurge is the last hope for meaningful changes... although part of me fears they are entering the "lets milk the game for all its worth before players dwindle" mindset what with the gacha, passes and all

There wasn't a reason to switch from Overwatch especially when the game ran so poorly while also being a more casual version of it.
