Not gonna lie, I’m actually expecting a mild nerf that mainly affects high-level play (because she isn’t good outside of high ranks) combined with some sort of buff to counter beams.
People in low ranks will see this as a net-buff and complain about her more.
I mean, she is good outside of high ranks just not anywhere near as OP as people make her out to be.
Even if they dumpstered her, if there’s a compensation buff the usual suspects will claim that the nerfs mean nothing.
What I’m actually expecting is a mild personal nerf, larger global tank nerfs to armor and the passive, and the beam resistance buff. Overall, I actually do think it’s likely to be a net buff when compared to other tanks because I think all tanks will take it on the chin. But a nerf overall in power, a legitimate nerf.
Is that not what made her hard meta? I do not believe she was being picked at this frequency prior to Junes. Nor was Reaper. That started at the beginning of the season… No?
Brig makes juno unkillable with her mobility stacked on 125 repair packs with 3 charges.
Juno can easily keep a shielding brig up for long enough for a dive engage to not matter. It’s the most unkillable backline in the game, it’s even better that Juno just so happens to pair perfectly with dva at the same time.
You have an unkillable tank who’s flying through a speed ring at mach 80 so obviously the solution would be to kill the supports that keep the tank alive (or at least that’s the biggest counterplay everyone notes about raid tanks “just go for the supports lol!”) oh look, they’re also unkillable! Woo hoo!
overwatch balance is a vicious cycle sometimes. still there are some heroes that remain in a poor state for a long time
symmetra, bastion and mei come to mind, or changed so much that you wish you can go back in time and play the old versions again
i have been lucky with my hero choices tho. widowmaker has always been strong even in her worse states. as long as she has one shot. sombra over history hasnt been to bad compared to heroes like sym, mei, bastion and even junk. she always is just below the hitscans. ashe is ashe lol… very strong most of the time
tracer mains or one tricks have it made in this game hehe
no other tansk can entierly negate every damage done…hell she even negates healing projectile
meanign she also blocks ult charge with her DM, unlike other tanks when they are also unkillable…at least you can charge an ult to either kill the tank or his backline
