For the millionth time, Blizzard has buffed a hero that needed no buffing or rework and is now completely broken.
Take away her self healing and she’s balanced. Until then, she will remain broken and a free win for anyone that can handle themselves hitting a single Q.
For once, I’d love for the helmet heads at Blizzard to make a change that doesn’t completely destroy the meta.
Tower update is garbage as well. Bring back the slow. Tower diving is just as common with 0 repercussions.

no she doesn’t need a nerf.

I fail to see the reason why they touched her. Was it her low usage rate? Did any streamer complain? Or just part of Blizzard’s random screw ups?
And remind why would you nerf Deathwing once again?

Low usage seems to be the main reason the rework and buff anyone.
Junkrat was fine prerework, Cassia was great prerework, Orphea is strong people just prefer more generalized mages than one with her particular skillset.
I’m glad proby got a buff because of it, even though he’s sitting at 59% winrate in SL.
Deathwing gets another nerf because even though his winrate isn’t phenomenally high anymore he still has massive popularity in ranked and QM.
that being said Jo is only 3% behind him in popularity and they think she’s in a fine place.

Mmm how do you know its the millionth time? Almost as if youre an alt posting for no reason other than mindless hate
That is her only self sustain tool that helps her due to her relative close range compared to other ranged assassins.
Have you actually played her? Its quite difficult repeatedly landing her Q, that player you faced must have been real good with her or you were all standing still often and let her aim without any challenge
Lol has orphea ever been meta?

Orphea got just what I wished for - more reliability on Q (decreased cooldown from 6s to 5s). While she is just okay and playable, she is nowhere near meta yet and I hope she gets more buffs.
I also hope Q cast time eventually gets increased by around 10-20% to make up for the global hero speed increase that happened on 10th of September 2019.
Waiting for the day when she is a strong and balanced hero who frequently gets first picked and banned in all levels of play. Unique assassin with a very unique attacking style (weaving in and out of enemy range constantly; High skill cap) .

He will never get buffs. /sob Maybe in another timeline.
Orphea has seen a huge drop since they took the slow off of dread wave. They added that baseline and some nice quality of life buffs. I don’t see why anyone would complain about Orphea. She’s now competitive with the other mages and not especially punishing or hard to play around.
I don’t know if heroes should be nerfed because they’re popular. I don’t think that’s why he got nerfed.
The thing is, DW is strong, if he’s in the right hands. Too many players play him really poorly though, I find.
Also heroes like DW will always be popular, because he’s BIG and unique. He offers a different feel than a normal hero - kinda like playing a Boss instead of a player. Kinda as if you could be a Dragon Knight forever.

Her talent tree had bad talents.
She is still being handicaped by that level 7 farm talents row.
This post was made by a Deathwing, just move and she has no escape
Orphea is one of the easier heros to play (though high skill ceiling), she falls off somewhat at higher skill level. No different then a hero like fenix who crushes in QM.
