Yea, every support in the patchnotes except Lucio and Lifeweaver got nerfed. Mercy’s is meaningless, Ana’s is a revert with compensation, so really just Kiri and Brig are getting nerfed in a way that you’ll maybe notice.
Rip Kiri’s 3x crits 2022-2023, gone but never forgotten.
I think they’re trying to force a meta shake-up personally. Buffs to Dive tanks, nerfs to more Brawl/Poke tanks, buffs to Lucio, nerfs to Brig ect.
Oh, you’re right. Ana got her healing per shot slightly nerfed and Kiri’s “healing” also got nerfed. But those are such small changes I really didn’t pay much attention to them. Especially Kirko’s “nerf” because she can actually heal more than before in certain situations
I would say Kiriko’s changes are probably a net buff, but debatable.
The HS multiplier didn’t really matter much and didnt change any break points on squishies (except Tracer, forgot about that :)). It traded -7.5 HS damage for +5 BS damage and faster fire rate.
Suzu got slightly worse but is also situationally better (70 healing instead of 50 on any target that gets cleansed).
Ya I like the Kiriko heal change but despise the kunai change. It destroys a break point for Tracer that was the reason I played her so much when facing Tracers. She used to be able to head shot punch kill a tracer before she could recall.
Yea, I think the only real noticeable part was gonna be the crit multiplier going down, but better bodyshot damage will probably be a decent buff for lower rank Kiriko. Faster fire rate is always good.
Tracer getting two Ws vs Supps this patch, Ana and Kiri can both no longer two tap her.
Well, Kiri still can but she’s gotta fire twice now and 1 still needs to HS.
