I’ve seen quite a few people claiming that her last buffs made her OP, so I’d like to hear what the consensus is on the forums.
Personally, I don’t find her to be a massive problem

No, she doesn’t
It’s like with KTZ: you either miss and are useless or don’t miss and are powerful.

I think not, she’s like Kel’Thuzad, if she gets a team that can protect her and she knows what to do, then it’s going to be really strong, what we should do as players is stop being predictable, and move in a more ‘‘juke’’ manner, this applies for her obviously and KTZ, and is also what we need to do against heroes like Artanis for example.

She’s overall quite strong, but it’s hard to put my finger on a singular cause.
If nothing else, I can say with certainty that Dead Magic is an insane talent after the buff.
She is the highest winrate mage and I think she needed a small nerf on her number, maybe 2%.

No she rewards mechanical skill and taking risk in melee range. More ranged assassins should be forced to do that instead of mindless poke.
Backseat from afar heroes like junkrat valla and jimmy should be the ones looked at.

Generally she seems fine. At high MMR I have seen a couple players play her so well she feels a little overbearing.
I’ve never seen an Orphea player miss and at the same time become useless. Maybe in Brawl where ppl dont know the hero but in Ranked, she can miss 3 times in a row and still destroy and self heal more than a healer can heal.
I’m giving a +1 for nerfing her Chomp damage or healing recieved. Jaina and Gul’dan is a HELL of alot more risk hero than Orphea.
Unlike KTZ who LITERALLY becomes useless if you miss, Orphea is by no means a comparison.

She’s kinda crappy when Shadow Walz doesn’t hit. Even with the cd resetting talent on 7 (or was it 4) on chomp.
Wow, i have seen lots of them in ranked.
You really care about our oppinion?

I don’t think she needs a nerf.

Well not me, maybe you’ve had easier matches against a less experienced Orphea, or mb she was good but you got the luck with getting the better team throu the broken MM and won nomatter how good she was.
Actually, people who pick her in silver-gold miss so much that they cast ult into boss.

chomp build ori against a team that cant really contest her with burst damage would seriously mess your day up and i love it
Rofl, I know what you’re talking about, funny to see it when it happens 
YEAH! it’s so funny to lose 200 points because of some degenerate who never plays orphea decides to play her in ranked!
Sarcasm ends
Her lvl 1 Ancestral Strength is problematic.
Before, you had to use a 14 sec cd ability to slow an enemy and proc her lvl 1 on an enemy hero. Now, you just need to use a single Overflowing Chaos to proc it.
Reducing the slowed time from 2.5 sec to 2 sec would leave better counter plays.
Same thing for Yrel’s Dautless lvl 1. 2.5 sec to 2 sec, like it used to be.

Does X need a nerf??
