But are you aware that a lot of heroes have one-shot abilities without using ult ? Hanzo, Widowmaker, McCree, Doomfist etc… can all one shot a 200 HP hero easily even in Zen’s aoe.
To me, it’s problematic as it doesn’t give any value to an ult that is already very short. Plus, Zen has to move a lot to reach their allies that are often split… And even if he stands still, primary abilities can still kill the ally that stands in the aoe.
I still hope for a soon to come buff to Zen’s ult.
theres two form of burst damage.
instant nukes akin to d.va, tire, DF, etc.
and
Burst over a short period of time (hanzo dragon, pharah, etc)
type 1 has only 2 possible counters atm. Lucio’s ult and the select few heroes with % based Damage reduction skills.
type 2 is more into what Zen is made to be effective in.
Very few skills can continuously pump out over 300dmg a second.
pharah’s is 50-50 as she needs rockets to hit (and they cover an area if your not close)
Hanzo’s dragon alone doesnt out damage Zen’s healing (as long as you react to it properly)
Zarya+dragon/barrage is ofc gonan hurt…but that si becasue you have grav doing small damage itself over duration, you have most likely enemy tam also takign your health away and ofc the ult doign damage themselves.
Your explanation still doesn’t make my previous statements less accurate. Mercy and Brigitte are still going to shine in competitive because Ana’s, Lucio and Zen’s mechanics are weaker than what Moira, Mercy and Brigitte can offer.
Instead of nerfing, better give stronger buffs to those three. Destroying a character by labelling it “bug fix” is not the way to go in my opinion.
Thanks for your answer though ![:slight_smile:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5" ":slight_smile:")

two words.
Design Flaw.
Lucio is a constant group healer, slow yet constant to anyone in range.
This limits how effective his healign can be. too much and he will heal everyone strongly. too little and he is useless. He is the nichest of them. His ult is powerful though (basicalyl a deteriorating increased health pool which si good in nearly any situation)
Ana is again a flaw of design. mechanically she is more a dps than a support (requiring aim for effectiveness and has shots blocked by stuff which makes her unreliable and in a game liek OW that is a LARGE risk that can lose a fight)
sleep dart is a good defensive skill.(ignore players aim or lack of as that isnt her fault) able to shut down many ults.
Zen…idk why you listed him.
Sure not the best healer, but he has one of the best debuffs (discord) on top of high damage for a support who is easily capable of killing peopel at range and a powerful (but not great in all situations similar to Mercy’s) ult.
I agree that nerfing isnt the issue and others should get buffs/changes ad brought up.
