So now dmg boost and discord are both at 25% dmg increase but oneaffects a single target that FIVE people can shoot while zen does dmg AND heal while the other requires all the whole character do solely amplify one persons dmg without being able to heal simutaneously. Make is make sense blizzard. Discord is far more disruptive (especially for tank players who get perma discorded) then mercy’s dmg boost. And why is Ana/Kiri once again allowed to not receive nerfs when both are far better then mercy and provide actually game breaking abilities like anti nade and suzu (which was designed solely to counter how broken anti is). If you dont know how to balance supports properly, then dont at all. Now we could have TWO supports that are unplayable and just walking healbots while ana, zen and kiri keep their overbuffed power level…
Regarding discord, 5 people need to land their shots in order to take advantage of it,while for damage boost only one person needs to land the shots.
Also,it feels kinda weird to compare the offensive capabilities of a character with 0 mobility to one with the best,dont you think?
Pretty sure any one hero can target a discorded enemy. If it’s a McCree vs McCree and one is discorded and the other has dmg boost…
You are right,I worded myself poorly. What I meant was that in order for discord to be more effective than damage boost,more than one person needs to land their shots.
Honestly get your raging emotions and garbage take under wraps. This has been explained a billion times already and just was explained again above for you. There are tons of objective reasons dmg boost is stronger than discord.
Second to this it’s vital there are ways to make tanks vulnerable. Zen is not in every game, not even close. If a tank is dominating and the enemy gets a zen to counter that and said tank does not adapt well, one knows how to play the game and other is nothing but a whiner that can not handle the rules of the game.
And here’s one big reason why it’s not, discord affects every member of the zenyattas team including the zenyatta giving every person +25% damage, mercy on the other hand has to commit to either the damage boost or heal and it only benefits one player (unless she’s in valk but then it is still only one or the other) when boosting mercy can no longer assist in the fight, she has to stop boosting to heal or Rez. Whereas zenyatta can continue to heal and do damage while boosting everyone’s damage by 25%. There are only 3 reasons zen isn’t played more: he is harder to play, less popular and requires effective Comms to reach his full power.
Just FYI op, Aaron mentioned in his post that half of the roster is getting balance changes and that he is only revealing a couple of big ones at this time, which means there may still be changes to discord.
