Ana perks highlight what's wrong with the perk system

General Discussion

She gets to choose between being allowed headshots and nano being applied to herself as well when she uses it on an ally.
She definitely needed that!

2

are these not just net buffs? I kind of thought they would be trades on power between cooldowns.

Technically that 2nd perk is double nano which probably is the better perk. Headshot on enemies is nice (great) but double nano feels very fight winning but will have to test first.

Looks like it will be straight upgrades with the option of changing certain abilities entirely.

The perk descriptions in the Spotlight didn’t list any downsides…

I mean all of the perks would be buffs because that is how it works. In order for the perk to not be a buff it would have to also come with a nerf but no one is going to have fun with that.

Uh, that’s my point though. Thats a horrible idea to just buff literally everyone. They can’t balance the game as it is.

It’s just going to make already S-tier heroes SSS++. I’m dreading Tracer’s perks

This is what concerned me with perks.

They can’t even tone down busted heroes like Hazard.

They’re addig perks and you look at Pharah’s…she can give herself a reverse concussion blast. Oooooooh.

Then Orisa who can give herself stronger Fortify, Ana can headshot, etc. like these perks are disproportionately stronger on some heroes and weaker on others. They’re not going to balance them lmao

Exactly that!!! I know I sound like a reactionary, but I’m very certain that is exactly how it will go

im kinda lost, is this for EVERY hero currently lol… thats a lot of perks and it seems like a convoluted mess. i am sure some things will be VERY broken and some things that are EXTREMELY underwhelming

anyways… wonder what sombra is gonna get heh :wink:

pretty sure it’s for every hero, yeah - it’s part of the core game mode, now
i think sombra will maybe get some sort of perk to help her against groups or self-sustain
