Zenyata is broken, People are arguing that it needs to be nerfed because his presence makes tanks quit the match and is understandable but i belive that debuffs in general are broken against the biggest character from the team and whit the new hitboxes and passives is hard to make your role work, this things actually are not the bigest problem if wasnt because Debuffs against tanks are extremely unfair being the ones that will recibe all the shots from the enemys, for make tank role less of a torture tanks passive should give them debuff Resistance making them less effective against tanks, also barriers should cut Zenyata line of sigth because in the case of reinhard he can not get rid of the orb under fire and your shield makes you slow so if you need to drop your shield to attack zen will put the orb on you and if you dont have kiriko or lucio looking for a wall to take it of is imposible and if you get your shield broken you are dead, other tanks are not so affected by this because they are fast or can still block while looking for cover, for Reinhard is just imposible but theres a thing, barriers already block line of sigth against Zenyata why they dont remove the orb then? Also Mei wall also blocks line of sigth but not get orb off? Why? Barriers should block much more than just attacks they should act just like a wall and make tank experience a little less terrible, also making posible to run 2 tanks taking 1dps or 1 suport so the interactions and combos betwen tanks are not flex game only, just disable the pasive if theres 2 tanks
Zen is only broken if you leave him unchecked. Stop shooting the tank, line of sight his discord and dive him.
They should not, since Zen’s Orb relies on line of sight. If he can still see the player, the Orb will remain. However, I can’t remember if his Orb can be attached to a friendly behind a barrier, I’d assume not since he can’t do it to an enemy with Discord.
But barriers aren’t physical objects like a wall or a pillar, they’re a field of hardlight. Completely transparent, so I don’t think it would make sense for Mercy’s beam to break when people can walk through the barriers.
No he cant, but the allie can keep the orb if he was already whit it
Also the rol of tank is the only rol that Can’t cut the line of sigth because it need to be in the front, the only tank able to face Zenyata is Zarya and even she is opresed for him forcing his bubbles only to remove the orb also Ball and Doomfist only because they have escape tools
Im not saying that zenyata should be nerfed, i play zenyata too, but even when i play zenyata i feel that is unfair how easy is to deny the tank only by pressing E they should be able to make something instead of depending on kiriko or running away gifting the objetive
There are a lot of streamers that agree that tank is being too miserable since the new season and focusing how reinhard is the most affected of all being killed on less than one frame
