With this change we’re back to square one.
With Rein at 85 dmg and no other tank to counter shatters, Rein-Zaria is back.
The state of balanced game just went out the window…and looks like it’s not comming back.
I can understand that it is to stop double shield (Rein-Sigma) but the Sigma isn’t an issue in this equation.
Time and time you (blizz) make dumb balance changes and have a massive issue to admit it was a mistake. So we’re stuck with 85 rein with no real counter for next what? half year?

Lower post counts generally come from trolls
rein isnt at 90 damage
Or maybe someone who doesnt live on this forum? Just saying don’t dole it out unless you can take it too.

Yeah, this nerf feels like a joke and I don’t even play Sigma.

The entire thing boggles the mind, yes lets let 10 people in a discord share their own personal biases to determine balance. Brilliant! uuh
Reality check: Only 10% of the player base can actually take advantage of that because 90% of them are in metal ranks. These top 10% play Sigma as an off tank with another main (barrier) tank. The other 90% try to play him like a main tank and pair him with other off tanks like Zarya because Blizzard told them he was a main tank. Even though it is the least optimal way to play him and people have been told over and over again he is really an off tank.
But sure, lets be sarcastic and disrespectful. That sure adds a lot to the conversation!

i think the idea behind the nerf is fine but not the execution
1.5s is good and 2.5 might be too high

I dont though. Ive been here a year
That’s the point. It really shouldn’t be super fluid and have everything else that’s already good about it. Yeah it doesn’t have 1600 health, but that’s the only “bad” thing.
You have far more posts than me and ive been here since beta. So i wouldnt think too much onto post count

It’s honestly not even that big of a deal really
Hey Blizzard, tank is already far and away the least popular role. If you want to make people play tank, stop actively punishing tank players.
Personally, I’ve had the idea for a while now that Sig would be healthier for the game if his shield took longer to move around. HOWEVER, I imagined that in return it should provide much more protection when placed, and not take nearly as long to recharge health. You can’t just apply a massive nerf like this without any compensation at all.

I got around playing experimental and uh… oh no… oh nononononooooo…
I figured if the CD is an issue they could atleast buff his paper shield but that’s not what sigma was about, it was about the management of a fast mobile paper shield. At this point i remain correct he really is just a lesser reinhardt or orisa… this is just sad… Especially concidering he was the Tank that made me enjoy tanking again…
