Make zarya need a brain again pls

zarya is far to easy for the value she gets, her ult is also far to easy. Ult doesnt need any brain or cd tracking anymore. Same for all tanks. Its not the right way devs stop cathering to tank players that much holy

You also have a brain. So… maybe use it when you play against certain tanks

The irony of a Moira player saying this is absolutely hilarious. Like, I am legit cackling. :joy:

sure I should use mine but tank dont need to use theirs, fair

Zarya is unironically more straightforward than Moira in Overwatch Dos.

I struggle to find holes in this statement. They both require good cd management against anyone with neuron activity, but Zarya doesn’t have to split focus nearly as much between her teammates and enemies as Moira does. She mostly exerts presence on whatever’s in front of her.

Zarya’s bubble juggling in OW1 was so much more interesting than what she does now, where most Zaryas only bubble themselves and a small minority recognise when they have a feeder for a teammate and farm bubble charge off them. Having to time your ally bubble perfectly or cycle bubbles with the other tank and yourself was great.

dont forget she counters pretty much everyone

???

people can still lamp, suzu, counter ult with like a d.va bomb, eat it with like DM/grasp/deflect. And the like.

Ya the game isn’t all about the ults anymore, but like for anyone that still has a brain can interrupt a Zarya just the same as they always did. Outside of like reaper wraithing out of it.

How to say your new or low rank.

Show us with the doll where Zarya outplayed you xD

cope harder boy lol.

Let me guess, you refuse to play any healer with range so you run front line to dps/heal and Zarya runs you down because you don’t save your fade for escape.

As a partial moira player I also have a hard time with Zarya but she is not what you make her out to be, imo the worst part is when shes nearly dead but she bubbles so your whole team just avoids shooting her instead of finishing the job :crazy_face:

(edit): I play almost all roles all characters to an extent, another situation I cannot cope with is when I play Rein into their Zarya & my team just avoids shooting the Zarya when I’m blocking all the damage she deals so my front line doesn’t get beamed, sometimes it’s better to just cook her she only gets 2 bubbles at a time

DVA, Orisa and Sigma can all eat the grav, for starters. Grav isn’t the longest charging ult in the game, but it’s up there, having it completely nullified like that sucks lol. Lets not forget, a rein shield can block a lot of the lethal damage during a grav. Ram shield too.

Bap can quasi-nullify it with lamp, Zen can completely cancel it out with his ult, lucio’s ult is a good (though not impossible to counter) solution.

Lifeweaver? :sweat_smile: Oh boy… he can grip people out of grav, but more imporantly, the petal will lift all of his team mates up out of the grav (I’m still salty about this one lol).

I’m not sure if reaper, tracer or moira can still escape it with their abilities, I’ll have to check that. And then of course, there is a genji deflecting your grav which is the most humiliating thing in the world :sob: You think people trash talk tanks? Wait til that happens to you lol

And on top of all of this, Zarya needs team mates with her while she gravs or it’s damn near useless. She can sometimes do alright by herself if she’s full charge while she gravs.

Start playing tank, and next time you see the enemy go zarya, you switch to zarya yourself, and you’ll start learning the difference between the brain dead ones and the ones who actually provide value/utility for the team :dove:

I am begging blizzard to put the bubbles back on separate cooldowns and give her some small ability to make up for the lack of defense

Out of all the tanks to complain about :exploding_head:

I’m just annoyed Zarya always show up whenever I play Dva. And sometimes a sym too.

Sym is more of a problem for dva than zarya is.
If you play dva on a map with no proper high grounds and elevation changes, why are you playing dva?

Dva excels on maps with proper high grounds. Junkertown, gibraltar, dorado for example.
A zarya can’t catch dva on these maps or burst her down if the dva plays smart.
But a sym can follow a dva easily and burst her down faster than a zarya can.

As a former Zarya main and a vivid enjoyer of her kit; the worst change they did to her was nerf her M2 projectile damage back in the day. How you use her M2 is what separates the good Zarya from the bad Zarya. Being able to make high energy high damage shots in the heat of the moment into the backline with proper breaking points was super nice. Then the nerf hit and meh
