The recent shakeup was supposed to give less viable builds some viability
I cant help but feel it made everything less fun to play. I can only think of reaper being MORE fun now. Many powers and items got combined and it feels so messy now. I dont get why some items like dampner grip on rein is on weapon powers section? It gives you ability power and reduces your ability cooldowns, maybe cuz it uses the hammer? Also pulse spike on Juno, why is it on weapon power tab? Some other powers like dooms slam wham got wacked. I used to use the three slam powers to just constantly jump up and provide massive overhealth to my teammates, like more than any healer. Stuff like this was fun and closer to the fantasy, now it feels vanilla+ overwatch.
I know there are probably legitimate reasons to nerf these but it feels a lot restrictive to make your own creative builds, dumping and mixing items to make powers, promoting items to powers.
