Juno getting changes tomorrow!

Well, you can bet she won’t be after the changes xD

i dont mind either way as long as its not team dependent for value :joy:

like lucio speeds the team, for juno you have to make the team go through something to make them fast

So I think that’s dev speak for slightly underperforming. And this means small buffs, which I actually think she needs.

“Quite balanced and trending upwards”
should not be the case for a brand-new hero.

There is a hype around new heroes, and they need to give players reasons to try them and understand them.

If the first experience with a hero is “Why am I feeling so unimpactful?”, then something must be wrong.

Overwatch is no longer a pay-to-win game, so there are no worries about that argument.

First impressions matter a lot for the lifespan of any hero.

Oh god, Alec.

Please stop balancing strictly around stats. :weary:

Even devs bending over backwards to not just admit she needs buffs (probably because of the community).

All this word salad just so say: She is weak in some areas so we are going to give her some slight changes/buffs to help her out.

It’s fine to say a support is weaker than intended, it’s fine to say you are going to buff or change a weak support so they are stronger.

The devs and community saying “Juno is balanced…but… (writes entire essay about issues the character has)” looks so dumb, if you say a character is balanced and then list reasons they aren’t balanced, they aren’t balanced.

Remember “Safe side of strong” for new heroes? She is save side of undertuned I would say currently. “Trending upwards” is a nice thing to say, when people stop playing Juno and switching quite fast already in day 3.

Why would they cut her damage by a whopping 48% from the playtest?

Everything is a conspiracy to prove a bias.

There’s quite a few bugs in this patch that are likely getting hotfixed soon.

They didn’t.

That’s what he proposed. They nerfed it by 18%, and Gratch wanted to further nerf it by 30%.

It’s a shame, really. Juno was perfect on release, but they hard nerfed her damage and survivability for no reason. The buffs don’t make up for that.

What could possibly go wrong with lowering Juno’s DPS down to ~70 (so slightly above Moira’s) while bumping her HPS up to ~120 (next highest is something like 90). :face_with_spiral_eyes:

I think 250hp would be fair on her since she has no self heal ability & she cant crit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what happens. When they hotfixed in a nerf for Pharah after the s11.5 debacle, it was in the form of -25 HP, so there’s form.

Juno’s gun feels HORRIBLE. It needs to be completely reverted to how it was in the trial.
