I understand Blizzard could want to wait a little to make good changes, but we obviously need something sooner than in 2 weeks for Samuro

When Zarya came out, I was really surprised to see how fast Blizzard up her and then nerfed her. Now she's fine imo.

But why don't they apply the same thing for Samuro ? I mean, we're not talking of a light overpowered hero, but of a nightmare in the game making me go out of QM, and if he's on ennemy team in draft I have to leave, it never happened to me before since I play HOTS(late alpha). I just can't accept to play against a hero we know to be unkillable, with high damages and shitload of escape.

So I get it, Blizzard could need some time to make the appropriate changes for Samuro, but it just can't be in two weeks.

I don't want to get a leaver tag because I have to leave the rare games where Samuro isn't ban, and many leave because he is. So you can double or triple the waiting time to actually play when you go into draft mode.

This is not a normal situation when you are "afraid" to play in QM because you know you won't have fun if there is (and you can be sure there will be) a Samuro on ennemy side.

EDIT : I will buy Samuro after his balance, I just don't see the point to start playing him right now because we don't know what Blizzard will do at the moment. I was really excited when he was announced and really enjoyed the described gameplay, he's just a bit too strong right now that's all.

If you prefer, I 'd rather play a balanced hero.

EDIT 2 : Ok, Thanks blizzard for the answer and for this announcement of a balance patch. BUT, why don't you disable Heroes when you notice bugs on him which give him so much advantage on other heroes ? It almost feels like we would deserved loss prevented games if we played games against samuro and didn't have one in our team...

TL;DR : Blizzard needs to BALANCE Samuro as soon as possible and not in two weeks regarding how broken he is right now.

    We totally hear you all on this and we have been in game with you and experiencing it ourselves. Our goal is to release something for Samuro (along with some bug and stability fixes, some of which are causing his win rate to inflate as well) next week.

    As an early JFYI we do not have plans to adjust balance for any other heroes in this patch, as we want our pro players to have a place to play while they're displaced from their regions visiting BlizzCon (live) and things look pretty good at the moment.
