Been a minute since I played but wasn’t he meta?
good buff, now we need sombra reworked and damage boost nerfed
Microsoft can’t fire these worthless balancers fast enough. Hog having 50% was bad enough.
Absolute idiots. You wouldn’t need to give dps absurd damage buffs if you would just nerf tanks so they aren’t unkillable with iwin buttons or making their shields last forever. It’s time for you to go back to school for game design because you obviously haven’t learned anything.

Yeah, kinda a snoozer of a patch, pretty lame changes to Torb, Symm, and Zen too
Torb’s is boring, Symm’s is like, half decent, but her overall damage took a huge hit so I’d say the buffs are outweighed, and Zen’s is cmon. Just nerfs? And nerfs that make him worse at dealing with snipers?
It’s a very flimsy two-shot though. It doesn’t work if there’s a nearby Lucio or Brigitte, has any armour or more than 200 hp, or if the target has any form of Lifesteal, health regen, or just general healing.
Plus you need to absolutely make sure you fully charge her orbs, even charging one to 99% will leave the target alive. This sounds very nitpicky, but trust me it’ll happen.
it depends how you play Zen. The LOS change was needed, it’s a good change for tanks. You now have to be closer to apply discord which makes Zen a little more vulnerable. So depends how you look at it I guess
Someday Blizzard will learn that buffing a hero 3+ times in 1 patch is moronic.
But today is not that day.

Atleast hanzo didn’t get nerfed or Lucio

This applies for most break points in the game too. Like cree is only a 3 tap without healing, torb too etc. And there is what, 1 single 200 hp hero with armor?
Yeah, that’s why most projectiles land in that 120 to 140 range at max damage, just to account for healing I bet
A buff for sym that wasn’t in the patch notes… I’m pretty sure she regens shields quicker of shields now
Ugh. WHY.
The first one, sure. The overall spread reduction? Why. They increased it for a reason, she gained too much charge, too easy, and did too much.
Lol RIP her turrets, she’s gonna suck.
I swear, I’m done being patient. Alec needs to step down, that whole balance team is disconnected from reality.

It is. It doesn’t change how the Zen will just put the Discord Orb right back onto the Tank the moment he re-enters LOS. It needed either to be 15% damage or have a 5 second cooldown if it falls off a target due to LOS or using an ability to make it fall off in order for it to mean something.
It’s so funny how Flats just predicted it could be a change like this. Funny and a little sad.

Soldier’s buffs are pretty innocuous
Dude’s already in the top 3 for tanks, he didn’t need a buff.
Instead of nerfing Zen, they buffed DPS - and Tanks, except Tanks that actually need buffs.
I’ve given up on Doomfist ever getting buffed
I don’t think they ever learn. Every subsequent patch only gets even dumber.
why??? this seems wholly unnecessary
good
again, W H Y??

It’s… not really much of anything. It’s still way better to just go into ball mode to reload. Don’t overreact this one, they could nerf his manual reload time for all I care, it doesn’t make a lick of difference.
