With the sombra changes, Bob got a buff as he is only hacked for 3s instead of his entire time. I’m not complaining about it. Anything that annoys sombra mains is good by me.
But with all the buffs he’s already had to damage and passives, it’s perhaps time to give him a little nerf.
Not enough; man’s a a shooting gallery instead of an actual teammate. In fact
Why wasn’t this true from the start of Ashe’s launch? Its so easy to hack him, so why should he be down for the entire ult duration? He’s not even that strong, really and he dies extremely fast.
Also, I would have made it so he’ll automatically walk to the point or walk with the payload while he’s pushing it. That’d be fun.
They’ve removed all of his most powerful counters. Sleep is shorter on him, hack doesn’t last that long, he gets headshot damage reduction, and knockback resistance. B.O.B. is as close to press Q to get free value as you can get.
He’s probably the most buffed hero in the game this year. And ashe is already one of the strongest DPSs and she is getting Bob power crept as well. Doesn’t really make sense.
Bob is a stupid design and even when he could get hacked and cancelled, his largest value has always been that he can contest objectives.
Bob now can’t be slept, hacked, booped, or headshot for full effectiveness but he can totally prevent you from capping a point because one person pressed Q, contributing to unfun and unfair stall. I get they want Ashe to be meta or whatever but something has to give with Bob.
Most of those abilities are tricky to land, though. You can beat Earthshatter with sleep, hack, and suzu, but you have to time it.
With Bob, he’s sitting there with a giant “CC ME!” sign, so its not fair. Its like saying “Most characters have hyper mobility, so buff Rein charge” when instead we should be giving characters buffs they need and not changes to make them formulaic or fit into the mold of other heroes.
Bob would be shooting something else for a millisecond and then get hacked by Sombra. Are we pretending Sombra had to carefully calculate hacking bob? Because that’s not true.
Meanwhile, the characters do have to carefully plan when to interrupt ults in my examples. And they can miss.
