its simple if they won’t nerf Pharah leave the game. I don’t care about rank or bs. I log in for competitive fun and if Blizzard insist to have broken heroes like Pharah just leave the game. I don’t care about the consequences.
I’m not looking to play a pug game with Mercy pocketing pharah and no one adjusting to it. So just leave the game. I’m dead serious

They just did….or do you actually mean if they don’t gut pharah?

that was a fake nerf. Her rate of fire is to fast for the speed of the rockets. everything everyone complained about junkrat back in the days pharah does from the sky with faster more precise rockets and better escape.
No sane person can debate that

It’s the most weaksauce nerf imaginable, and she got buffed in one of the “nerfs” with increased knockback and radius on concussive blast.

yeah which is preferred but they will never be honest.
Ah yes, the Typical Bronze 5, 2 hours of game time logged, cracked monitor take: “I am bad at dealing with an easy to deal with hero so I’ll cry and throw a tantrum making it everyone’s problem”. Classic

Wait but they just nerfed her total HP in the hotfix patch. That’s a good sized nerf.

Yeah… except she’s played in pretty much all ranks.
And which of those ranks is she ACTUALLY a problem in? Really only the lowest
While I do think she needs her rate of fire nerfed, you cannot be serious when you say that Pharah losing 25 hp is “the most weaksauce nerf imaginable”. While she’s still strong against Hanzo, she can’t screw around against him now. Hanzo one-shotting her is a real threat now, and Hanzo’s bodyshots are concerning. Solder also takes two less bodyshots to kill Pharah (as long as she’s within 30 yards of him), which is noticeable and important when playing on the razor’s edge. There’s a lot more, but Pharah dying faster is Pharah dying faster.

She was a problem in higher ranks too, but the hp nerf appears to have helped immensely.

Not when you have anyone with half skill on one of the numerous hero’s who can manage her
still she was a problem on high ranks, that’s why they “nerfed” her.
Must of been a lot of top 500 players with limited skill. They were complaining, but it’s definitely dropped off after the hotfix. Wouldn’t be surprised if Pharah’s pick rate dropped and that’s the cause.

The 25HP nerf makes her vulnerable to combo/one-shots. Hard pocket problems have to be dealt in this game and remains a severe issue ongoing for years.
By nerfing the HP pool, they meant to keep the lethality, a subject to which the playerbase itself agreed for specific heroes (such as Hanzo, not sure why he hasn’t got it yet). We should see a few more picks eventually get a balance update regarding that.
Consussion damage from 30 to 0 and her hp from 250 to 225 is a fake nerf?
Hp nerfs are pretty substantial in OW.

I haven’t lost to a pharah in multiple comp games since the nerf. Including one with no hitscan on our team. She isn’t some unstoppable beast, behave.

Yes because looking at the top 1% of phara players is going to give you a great read on how she is handled in low ranked matches and people who aren’t the best at that certain hero
Cry about it. Cope. Malde. Seethe.

Yes, because they don’t solve the issue which is that Pharah invalidates a pretty good portion of the cast by just existing.
