Kirikos Kunais: weakest dps/hitboxes of all healers?

General Discussion

Maybe i am the only one, i am testing Kiriko since Release now, but i (personally) am struggeling getting decent dps + heal with Kiriko.

While getting good results for healing i tend to land in the lowest dps tier compared to all other healers (maybe except mercy). It feels much more difficult to hit with Kirikos Kunais than landing hits with Zenyetta, Ana etc… and if you like to compare it with dps classes… much harder to hit than with a genji (i mean his rightclick attack hits in melee range anyways).

Am i just bad at Kiriko, am i the only one that thinks that the enemies feel like they are evading my Kunais like Neo (from Matrix), even partly big tanks? It feels so different to the other heroes. But from what i saw that also Kirikos of the opponent group often end up with the same of my dps.

hitting head shots feels satisfying but the damage (dps) overall feels too inconsistent.

It’s something justified. No other healers can headshot for 120 with no fall-off. Two kunai thrown at the right angle into the predicted path of the enemy might win you a fight before it even starts. High skill high reward play should not be easy to pull off.

Heck, Kiriko has a good chance of 1-comboing Tracer (kunai + anim-cancel melee). That takes less than 0.5 seconds, Tracer might not even have a chance to recall. It takes skill yes but the potential is there.

i personally would prefer a slightly lower head shot potency with an overall more consistent dps. thats my personal oppinion.

Maybe its a low/mid tier thing. But from what i see in quickplay mostly everytime Kiriko has the lowest dps output out of all healers - maybe except mercy.

i mean its much more easier to land a hit with Genji or Zenyetta.
