Not as long Ana is not nerfed into the ground. A simple healing buff will not make her meta or good. Just viable. Zen problem is also not the weak dicord orb… it is the hitbox and the mobility. So to answer that question:
No it will not.
And also Dive will not come back because Dva and Winston are weak. Can you guys stop overreacting so much?
Zen, right now as he is, and Ana, right now as she is, have literally swapped position in Contenders and OWL
This is without any changes or buffs to either character.
Buffing Zen AND Mercy, while nerfing Ana is going to cause what happened in 2017 AND 2018 to happen again where they swap.
Rather than buff one of them, and leave the other alone. We’ve been through this same problem TWICE
The reason of the Zen nerf because monster Jjonak frag.
I’m happy if he really got revert gonna frag hard again !
No one knows what healing buff it is. It cud be an increase to 51.
Also ana’s nerf might be minimal
Pro play and ladder, even GM, are completely different. Currently nobody plays Zen on ladder even in GM, I doubt these changes will suddenly make him a must pick.
Zen was a must pick hero in Janurary?
Like that was 4 months ago and people already forgot?
Plus what are we doing then in terms of balance? Are we doing top down? Are we doing based on feelings? Are we doing only ladder?
He was very briefly at 8% pick rate in January in GM, lower than that for most of the month, that’s not a must pick and is half of what Ana has had for months. In all other tiers he wasn’t even meta.
Personally I couldn’t care less what’s meta in OWL, it’s a completely different game there where Discord will always be very strong. That doesn’t mean Zen has to stay in the dumpster for everyone below GM.
If that’s the case then why did they nerf Orisa, Sigma, Baptiste, D.va, or Sombra?
None of them were any good outside of GM, yet all of them were put into the trashbin for most players
We might very well go back to ‘‘who gets to pick Zen and who’s forced to play the boring pacifist in a pvp shooter’’. And people are cheering for this… Sigh…
That’s not worth the risk.
The other support picks Zen first, and now you have to play the least interesting character in the game - A pacifist goodietwoshoes in a pvp shooter…
Might just move on to other games entirely. I’m not going to waste my time on another Mercy meta should we get one.
I don’t want to feel like a boosted leech again.
lets wait until we see the actual changes before people get too upset.
If you genuinely feel this way you should probably take a break from the game.
Low ranks are very often Mercy and/or Moira insta pick so if they revert Zen I can play with him all day.
Hey maybe since they actually listen to complaints about things on the experimental cards, maybe we’ll finally break the stupid cycle they keep doing with Ana/ Mercy
And give Mercy a buff (lol Revert) where she needs it, and leaves Ana alone
But I mean… Their current track record of 0-2 doesn’t bode well
Good. No more Moria.
Here’s to hoping though
Me too! Its great to have Mercy and Zen back where they belong
I agree; I like the Mercy buff, but Ana is an excellent character who should not be nerfed
Don’t get ahead of yourself. I am not about to raise my hopes only to get 52hps or something. we must pace ourselves
there is still way too much heal stacking, and cc in the game.
not to mention immortality field, and anas 250 hp heal on her ult (unless they remove it on the experimental ofcourse)
its still way too easy to make dive damage ignorable.
id think that mei reaper would be back before dive
they’ve been doing it based on feelings for a while now
