For those of you who are puzzled by all these substantial nerfs prevelant in the last few weeks, including the bring nerfs, let me explain. Power creep has overtaken this game to a ridiculous point, and I think Blizzard is finally starting to realize it and as such, they are in a way restoring their game to a much lower power level.

Yes, nerfs are gonna hurt but they are necessary at this point. The problem is heroes like Soldier, Genji, and Tracer all balanced but they are just useless compared to all the loads of buffs we have gotten. The problem is if they straight buffed Soldier/Genji they would risk being OP. And I think nerfing Brig was to try and bring back Soldier, Genji, and other sustained DPS. I think it was also to compensate for nerfing Widow, because then burst damage would be less reliable.

I think they’re gonna start nerfing a few heroes a week for now, particular targeting the meta. I’m glad to see this happen and I know as upsetting as it may seem, it is necessary. It may seem like they are going crazy with nerfs, but trust me they know what they are doing. They are trying to save their game.
