Really trying my best to not let Spider-Man ruin this game for me…

Out of my last 20 quick matches, Spider-Man was in my game for 18 of them. Most of the time they were on both teams. I just can’t handle this character anymore. I’m diamond ranked and my elo is probably why I see so many. From a design perspective he is a mess:

  • Needs to land only 1 web to get his entire combo that does 80-100% of your health(with venom) then gets out free with web swing. Most of the time they go for picks anyways so god forbid at any point you’re at less then 60% health.

  • Killing him does nothing. He has absolutely zero downside to dying. He web swings back into the action on pretty much every map in about 1-3 seconds.

  • Dealing with him is a constant annoyance for the entire match that never stops. You can’t focus on him when he is swinging around wasting time when there is 5 other players actively trying to kill you as well.

  • His Ult is instantaneous and can come at you from absolutely any angle, making reacting to at times pretty ridiculous.

  • BuT hE’s HaRd To PlAy! I do not care if he is a bit harder to play than other characters. A good Spider-Man cannot be killed. The aim and focus to kill him or shut him down is to much currently.

  • A Spider-Man on the enemy team absolutely forces a Namor response or you lose. Like I said above though, an above average player still doesn’t care about Namor

  • His web zip moves to everything regardless of player status. Invisible = damage, Clone away = damage, Scarlet Witch invulnerability = damage. Just fix this garbage.

I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that he gets 80% damage for 1 shot at any range. It’s truly effortless and not skillful at all.

My suggested nerfs that could help with him currently.

  • Can’t use web swing out of spawn for 5-10 seconds. He needs to be actually punished for dying. Venom is fine because he has one web swing and a long cooldown for it.
  • Needs to land 2-3 web shots for his web zip combo
  • He does not get Ult health shield, the fact you can use it from any angle is strong enough
  • No more tracking with web zip to a bunch of abilities
  • Nerf uppercut hit box, currently the size of a highrise
  • Increased cooldown on web swings

My main issue above everything else is he is just not fun to face in any capacity. I truly think his game plan and style is unhealthy for the games longevity. I like this game, but I’m currently reluctant to actually play as of late due to this one character being prominent in 90% of my games.

EDIT: Just to be clear. The main point I’m trying to make is he isn’t fun at all to fight against. I remember watching a Dev log on overwatch sometime ago and they considered certain nerfs due to how it “feels” to play against. I think that pertains to Spider-Man’s current iteration.
