Zenyatta discord orb range change has not been a solution to stop tanks getting permanently discorded from my experience (and others below masters). Why? Because the tank is the first target in discord range and possibly the only one. It takes the tank allot of resources (like shield value) to get rid of the discord orb, only for it to be reapplied immediately whenever possible because its the easiest value.
In general i find that the cost vs reward is very favoured towards zenyatta’s side to just permanently apply a discord orb on a tank because of the resources needed to get rid of the discord exceed the risks.
Ball, doomfist, dva, orisa, junkerqueen do not have a way of getting rid of the discord orb at all other than being out of line of sight for 1,5 seconds or getting cleansed. During that time out of line of sight, they are not in the fight because most likely they just tried to pass through a chokepoint and are now hiding from the zenyatta. But getting rid of the discord orb on those tanks doesn’t even have any use because it gets reapplied immediately afterwards when you enter line of sight again.
I would suggest the following changes to zenyatta’s Discord orb:
Up the range to 45 meters, a tank takes 15% increased damage from a discord orb from everyone excluding Zenyatta, he does 25% inceased damage.
Have a 5 second lockout duration like sombra’s hack has in terms of increased damage taken from discord orb for anyone but Zenyatta himself, but only when a discord orb gets removed by a player himself, either by being cleansed from a kiriko suzu, being out of line of sight or shielded for 1,5 seconds.
For clarification sake here is a example:
Zenyatta discord orbs reinhardt, reinhardt now takes 15% inceased damage from a enemy hanzo, 25% increased damage from Zenyatta himself. Reinhardt shields for 1,5 seconds, the discord orb gets removed.
2 seconds later reinhardt swings and gets discorded during that. He now takes 25% increased damage from Zenyatta, but not from the enemy hanzo for the next 3 seconds. After those 3 seconds reinhardt takes 15% inceased damage again from the hanzo and 25% increased damage still from Zenyatta himself. Until reinhardt removes the discord orb again by shielding for 1.5 seconds.
