Hello everybody, first of all, I haven't played this game for a second. Not for a single second and as much as I hate people who suggest balance from only watching, I'm gonna perform the ultimate sin myself since I think I know enough about the game.
I also acknowledge it's just a technical beta and balance is not even close to top priority, but this is just a fun banter thread to vent my frustration of not having access.
Let's talk about the current heroes first. I've made a tierlist for 6s;
Beyond broken/Must have in every composition -tier
McCree
Lucio
God tier
Pharah
Widowmaker
Mercy
Zarya
Strong tier
Zenyatta
Tracer
Soldier76
Good tier
Winston
Junkrat
Reaper
Bastion
Hanzo
Not really sure yet -tier
Symmetra
Reinhardt
Roadhog
Meh tier
Torbjörn
Balance change propositions:
- Lower McCree's pistol damage to 50/55 per shot or at least make it have a massive damage fall off from mid to long range. Maybe even make Flashbang cooldown longer.
- Reduce Widowmakers HP pool / Make her ult disappear if she dies.
- Zarya's shield is maybe a bit too strong atm and might need adjusting.
- Mercy's ult is global range atm. This might need adjusting in the future too.
- Lucio is basically a core of every line-up atm. His ultimate is way too strong for the auras he provides. Scale his ultimate down.
- Reapers shotguns do way too much damage from close range, but have a way too big of a damage falloff. A middleground should be found to this. (I do understand he's a flanking character, but it still feels a bit too extreme.)
- TBA
Tier list changes i've made during this debate:
- Named Okay tier into Not really sure -tier:D
- Moved Lucio up to Broken tier from God tier
- Moved Zarya up to God tier from Strong tier
- TBA

UI
Everybody can agree that the UI is way too massive and has a lot of stuff that you don't need. I'm not really suggesting to remove elements, but having an option to turn literally ANYTHING off would be so amazing.
We know Blizzard doesn't like very adjustable UI's, because they want everyone to see the same, but in this case they actually want it to be a massive FPS e-Sports title and they should listen to the community.

Stuff/Options that are a complete must and need to be added in the game
- Killfeed! Absolutely essential for players but an absolute must for spectators!
- Option to adjust the in-game music volume.
- Option to make Widowmakers alt-fire to be toggle and not having to press it all the time.
- Option to adjust the sensitivity while scoped.
- Option to hide or atleast scale the viewmodels as the players like.

I'll edit this post later to add my thoughts of the maps and other topics, when I have the time. Thanks for reading!
