Regardless of what Blizzard thinks, I would appreciate if they commented on how they think Juno release is going. I’m curious to see if they think she’s in a good state or not.
Juno on suicide watch.
Blizz, pls help her.
I dunno, I think she’s great utility and healing overall, but lack of any self-defense towards a flanker means I have to swap the moment one comes into existence in my game.
Supposedly the broken data refresh/update problem they had back in July or so is fixed, and they’re rebuilding their database. Supposedly. It may go back to being semi-reliable soon.

If you’re using overbuff for this be mindful of the stats. This is way too early for overbuff to have meaningful or even remotely accurate / ball park stats obtained from open profile sampling

Juno should not have healing fall off. They should slow the ult movement speed so it sticks around longer.
Those are the only changes she needs right now.
I’m seeing plenty of Juno in my matches. I’m also seeing her do some pretty good work when the player actually knows what they’re doing. One absolute god of a Juno ended her match with 27k healing and 10k damage, no overtime.
In fact, I’m starting to suspect that a lot of Juno being “underpowered” is just skill issues with a new hero. At the very least I think we should probably wait and see where her performance shakes out before we start swinging around the monster buffs.

Her win rate is at 51% can’t see her being buff
she is just too weak. No headshot makes her boring to play

I can’t believe shes at 1%. I see her in every game in both teams
Give her headshot, make the ring require a button press to use as a team mate, and she’s more or less fixed.
Putting aside any reservations about Overbuff, both in terms of general reliability and the point SidewaysGTS raised about it being early days for stats gathering, Juno’s stats in GM don’t look too bad considering it’s a hostile meta for her:
Given that I’m still seeing Junos making poor use of Glide and Ring in QP, I don’t think low pick rate in metal ranks is a sign that Juno is weak. I think it’s a sign that the average Joe hasn’t got the hang of her yet.
Not that I’m against buffs. I’d love it if she could crit for gamefeel reasons. Torps’ cancel is still an unnecessarily awkward mechanic and I suspect it does more harm than good (I would unbind Torp cancel if I could). Making Orbital move faster than the trial version was an unneeded nerf. I’m not convinced she needs to be at 225 HP. But to say that she’s bad? Nah, I don’t agree with that. She’s nowhere near release LW.
Yeah
Yeah, I checked it a few days ago and I tell you it’s wrong.
It’s impossible because even in QP (30 days) she’s at the lowest pick rate in the game. And that’s impossible because she’s been in 99% of my games since her release.
She’s also been VERY popular in GM for what I’ve been watching at Twitch.
Zennyatta for instance is a rare sight to be seen in a QP team and he’s in a much higher pick rate than Juno.
Overbuff is absolutely wrong on this data.
that could be true, overbuff sometimes takes a while to process new data, so we should wait a month to see the true pickrate for juno

The devs said it’s decent except at the ends of the ladder…which is wonderful considering they balance around the top end of the ladder
So no…it’s not very useful unless you think gold is special
Overbuff estimates the pick rate based on data from at least 1 month.
Juno is less than 2 weeks old. The numbers will increase with time.
Also, the data of a brand-new hero are flawed anyway, even if they’re complete, because many people will pick her as a trial and then go back to their mains.

Overbuff is always a couple months behind.
Check your own stats on it and compare it to your in-game stats.
So I suspect that 1% is based off of when the devs did the initial playtest with her.
I see her in most of my matches on one team or the other.
i guess it could be cool if she could head shot allies. anything to help my team more.
I am not.
I see lucio more.
This is my main problem with her. No headshot means she just isn’t that fun because she has no abilities that really benefit aim skills.
Ana at least has nade and dart so it doesn’t matter that her main weapon can’t headshot.
