Overwatch 2: No DPS
Damage heroes are the most played, while tanks and supports are frequently underlooked. Here, this gamemode outright removes the DPS heroes, and reworks the tanks and supports to make them better. Certain tank and support heroes will be reworked to fill in a DPS-like role, while others will lean into their original roles even more than before. You could create a number of team comps and see how they can work.
Currently, only wave 1 will be available. Waves 2 and possibly 3 will be made in the future, and can change based off of feedback.
Wave 1
Mauga
Because of his crowd control abilities, Mauga is one of the best tanks in the game, but he is easily taken out by high damage and healing reduction abilities. Since I want to keep that weakness, I will buff Mauga's own healing, as well as rework overrun so he can have the option to use it.
-
Movement speed decreased by 10%.
-
Now has a meter to determine damage: starts off at 50% of his initial damage, then moves up to 60% past his initial damage.
-
Now grants Mauga up to 200 overhealth when initially using the ultimate.
-
Cage fight duration increased from 4 to 6 seconds.
-
Critical hits will now heal Mauga by 10 HP per hit.
Orisa
In the base game, Orisa is one of the most powerful tanks despite the nerfs. Instead of directly nerfing her, Orisa's abilities such as fortify and javelin spin will be slightly reworked so that players can develop new playstyles for her.
-
Orisa can no longer move while she is fortified.
-
Damage received is decreased by 15%
-
Damage dealt is decreased by 25% while fortified.
-
Cannot no longer be used while energy javelin is on cooldown.
-
Cooldown decreased from 9 to 6 seconds.
Ramattra
Base game Ramattra is a solid pick, but I kinda feel like his nemesis form deals too little damage.
-
Damage dealt increased by 25%
-
Damage received increased by 50%
-
Cooldown decreased to 8 seconds.
-
Dealing damage heals you and nearby teammates by 10 HP per hit.
Reinhardt
Yes, Reinhardt is being buffed.
-
Damage dealt increased by 25%
