First time I seriously read it as 1.25, which is okay, I guess, but no, Sigma’s redeploy shield cooldown got increased to 2.5 seconds. What is this even? So he’s Orisa now? Why even let him reposition the shield vertically then? If this is the case, how about we increase shield’s HP to 1200?
This change is to " open up additional opportunities for counterplay."? You mean aside from breaking the already-flimsy shield?
Because that’s a useful thing to be able to do…?
I swear to god you can’t come up with changes this stupid. They must have a random word generator on the balance room. Imagine if the generator said kinetic grasp suck time decreased to 0.2 seconds. I have no idea how they come up with these, they must ask people who haven’t heard of overwatch
I thought the whole point of Sig’s barrier (especially since the nerf) was knowing when to pull it in and pull it out not to waste it and having to recharge it but i guess he’s just gonna be a lesser rein/orisa now…
Cluncky McClunkface.
Its customary to increase c/d on abilities by 250%… 
Its the nutjobs sitting in the Discord server they listen to. This is the problem when the community as a whole is not in discussion, but what is essentially a closed echo chamber.
welcome to using your brain 101
Your single point on this isn’t really working.
youre 335 posts just scream troll
Maybe combine with the 6000+ I have on all my accounts…
oh, so you have to use your alt account to troll? makes sense I guess
Oooh, i dont care.
I have literally no interest in hours unless you can provide good balancing tips. Which you havent done. So you must be below diamond
Wow… just… wow 
May I sit in the back of the bus with the cool kids now? Counting posts literally is the silliest thing ever… and we thought border shaming was something… LMAO…
Yah his barrier breaks so easily and now you better not mess up with it’s placement otherwise you’ll have to wait 2.5 seconds to redeploy.
Forums hate alts and smurfs
This change now encourages Sigma to deploy shield minimally to absorb some trash damage and then hold onto it for critical moments. It changes how you play Sigma. I think he will still be good if your shield placement and timing is good and your rocks and orbs are spot on. Bad Sigma’s will suffer a horrible death. Sigma’s shield will feel bad though. It will be more a personal tool for Sigma now.
Have you actually spent any time with how it feels? And no, its fallacy to simply write off any criticism as “bad Sigma’s will fail” either. I’m all for transferring his defense to his personal shield and KG, but we need buffs on those in conjunction with this change.
Read: Don’t deploy it ever
I have. It feels horrible. I just think that Sigma will still see big use in GM like Brig. I don’t like the change either. If they go with 2.5 redeploy, the shield recharge should be buffed. Even if they don’t compensate Sigma in any way, I still think he will be good though. He will just feel less fun and fluid to play.
His barrier isn’t the only thing he has to protect himself. He can stun/knockback people and also generate shields while eating projectiles (including ults).
