It's half "ball is weak" and half "people have no idea how to play with a ball on your team". Not sure how they are going to fix the second part.

[genghiskhan]

I can see foresee changing a large portion of about 40% of his health to shields so that he can have more sustain without needing health packs as much. Makes a degree of sense as most of his character mass is likely machine.

[endrtrn]

OW: We're scared of ball being able to one shot squishies.
Hog, Soujorn, and Widow: one of us, one of us, ONE OF US, ONE OF....

[ddenozor]

he is already getting all the regen by slurping every health pack out there

[Lazycandle]

As a ball enthusiast I’m scared this could break him and turn him into buffed doom fist
Honestly he should be usable again now that no one’s playing road hog as much

[colinmarchand]

It’s not the shields, the simplest fix would be to increase his ammo capacity honestly

[grantbosworth]

The problem with those off tanks is your whole team has to commit to that playstyle and they don’t in solo queue.

[arefallout]

Ball is about the last character that needs a buff

[The-hamster]

No power down get in there “ the hamster is coming for you”

[rosth]

I just played a match on shrine I believe . Where ball literally harassed and stopped the enemy team in their back line on his own . Only needed to pop up to get heals from Ana periodically all the way from point . (Actually we did help get picks all the way from point lol I just held my reinh shield up while dps shoot down range)

[brunoob-]

I would decrease the damage drop off % on the hamster or to make his ult little bit faster or to make his grappler movement a little bit more useful then in the 6 second timeline as im on console and i suck too much on aiming so i need to get them healing pavks

[cartersouthern]

Maybe they could give him something similar to bastions old repair ability

[coolmancool]

As a wrecking ball main cc is still extremely annoying lol I swear I hear the ana dart 200 times an hour… not to mention if you get trapped by junkrat you’re automatically dead lol or junkerqueen ruining your getaway, Lucio preventing your boop every time

[maui]

Maybe give him a healing thing like bastion used to have.

[hanneslundin]

As a ball main/ one-trick I would just like him to have the ability to counter cc. Junkrat traps, hacks, stuns, sleep, etc etc. All those are abilities that are super unfun to play against. Especially trap.

[amkbruh]

Nobody said that to Seagull. Wasn‘t it Emong and Flats talking to one of the devs about the new patch notes previous to their release?

[iiWarlord]

I wish he gave some kind of "selfless" discord onto slammed opponents. Something like "opponents that get hit by pile drive receive 20%+ dmg from Ball ALLLIES"

[abhinandhari]

Ball might be the only character who could be having 3 types of hp in his base pool, 300 hp, 300 shield, 100 Armor. And a 4th color with his overheal would be funky

[liamsz]

Okay, a hard ball meta isn’t fun to play against, but a hog one is?!?

[frtbubexp]

I feel like a big problem with Ball is his high skill floor compared to other tanks. To get big value as him you need to roll into an enemy, slam them, shoot them midair and hope they don’t get any healing. All the while, Orisa and Hog just need to press buttons to get value. Even for pros it’s a no brainier who to pick. Why play a difficult character when easier characters get the same value with less effort?
