I like playing him and main him in comp, but like… he caused double barrier and is still pretty strong.
Perhaps nerf barrier health to 750, but remove the casting time?
Maybe give orisa’s barrier some of sigma’s leftovers, maybe bump it to 750 as well?
Thanks.
His shield needs massive buffs, perhaps buff it back to it’s launch state with more size.
In turn tho nerf Grasp duration or cooldown so he’s weaker to dive.
He can get some nerf for sure, but first remove his cooldown for the shield replacement

i advocate for something different a rework, remove the barrier, put grasp on right click make it have a resource meter replace shift with a new ability that slows down characters in an area and TEMPORARILY stop attacks coming through before continuing on as normal when it ends like theyre frozen in time but then return to normal
Nooooooooo thank you please.
Sigma is fun. Let him be fun, leave him alone.
Well, how about a bunch of nerfs and a bunch of buffs?

We should not be nerfing the health
Because that would make it more of a requirement to run double shield
They would need to change the functionality of his barrier to do that.
For example, his barrier should block about 750 damage, and only block damage when placed. But, buff the speed of it, and how fast it recharges. So the skill of Sigma comes from quick placement and repositioning of the shield, and being mindful about it being broken so you don’t suffer a long cooldown.
How about buffing everyone else to his level?
(Since imo he’s the most fun tank, and it’s evident powercreep ain’t goin nowhere)
No. Sigma caused double shield. Nerf Sigma’s shield harshly and revert the shield nerfs from last year
First let’s nerf almost every DPS to get rid of powercreep.
Other than Siggums the reason Double Barrier happend is because of all the high Burst damage in the game
Na sigma is fine. Just hack him
Yes. Well said my friend.
How about we nerf the dps across the board so double sheild wont be needed? Like nerfing the sheilds is just gonna cause more people to use em because it’s the only significant way to face the stupid amount of dmg thrown at you.
The 1s CD on he’s shield is such a turn off.
