Slight-middle of the road gaz buffs, dva nerfs but not as much as ppl want, healers have gotten alot of nerfs recently so im expecting some buffs to lesser used healers. Small thrall buffs would also be appreciated. Same for genji, artanis, and valla.

Buff:

D.Va: Aggression Matrix, Stop and Pop
Gazlowe: One Man Wrecking Crew, EZ-PZ Dimensional Ripper
Dehaka: One-Who-Collects
Deckard: Ruby (bad prediction since they want to revert the popularity)

Nerf:

TLV: Spin to Win
D.Va: Rush-down, Micro Missiles
Kerrigan: Fury of the Swarm, Boundless Fury
Gall: Leaden Orb
Tracer: Pulse Generator
Rexxar: Aspect of the Hawk
Ragnaros: Blistering Attacks

Fix:

Samuro: Hearth swap
D.Va: Medallion reset, Defense Matrix redirection on fog of war/unpathable terrain

Do you think we’ll see any stealth inserts like Encore again? What a wild patch, when Mosh Pit gained CDR.

A nerf to Gall’s W build. If Cho’gall gets to level 20, the Orbs make any melee hero’s life extremely painful. And short.

I still want to buffs for Kerrigan since I have more playstyle for her. also have some changes for Valeera & Junkrat that has uncovered buffs in recent times. others have more covered in sometime.

don’t count on it frendo. kerrigan and arthas are both in the “forgotten bin” shall we say :expressionless:

If Kerri needs a buff then its should only be a minor one as she is already a niche hero but a strong one. Just like Maiev. You cant give her any more buffs to the point were one tricks that master her would make her even more annoying to deal with.

damn someone must got killed by a kerrigan main, hehehehehe

Not as I recall, but I do watch lots of high elo games and looking at stats very closely.
I’m a D.Va main and I can say that some of her numbers are too high. So, calling out Kerrigan is not something personal. Better luck next time.

so this is a nerf kerrigan because x person played well with kerrigan, lol, damn you really want to destroy an already ultra nerfed hero.

Since her last change (V2.49.4), there’s 4431 registered games in Dia+ for the same build until lvl 13 and it’s a 61.05% win rate while the average hero is at 52.35%.

How is a 61% win rate hero with a specific build is being ultra nerfed?
Please enlighten me.

You actually answered yourself, because its the only build that actually works, say thank you to devs that cut in half W build with the movement speed buff and hitbox reduction, making q build mandatory, and if you still have problem to dodge a combo thats your problem, now if you say q build is annoying, well thats also your problem with letting kerrigan farm her quest, and if you say q build does to dmg, well she has 3 charges with around 1 sec between every charge abd she needs to also do some AA to actually achieve high dmg. Now if this happensvto you there are 2 options:

  1. since its a team based game your allied must help you or they are sleeping
  2. if you let a kerrigan q+aa+q+aa+q, since it takes some second to do it well you’re probably sleeping.

Now tell me again how the least looked hero which is barely seen and has 1 viable build needs nerfs.
