Patch Impression: "Wrong Sojourn Nerf, No Hog Nerf"

Good point actually, maybe they won’t even touch Roadhog now… dreams

But isn’t this entire thread about how the devs have given the wrong nerfs to Sojourn?

Sorta contradicting yourself

If she loses her Railgun damage there’s no reason to pick her over Ashe / Widowmaker as she needs to put in more work for the same pick potential.

Well fine, I ain’t gonna defend any of their balance changes on Sojourn. You got me there. Those don’t make any sense.

Well some of them do, but overall it just feels like Sojourn is the new LaunchBrig.

i.e. Make a bunch of changes that don’t deal with the problem.

She’s differentiated from them with her disruptor shot, superior mobility, and ability to operate at more effective ranges. You know, all those things they’re currently nerfing.

This change just makes her more like Widowmaker, which is the last thing we need.

Went a whole season without a Hog nerf, you can go another month

Ty I’ve been saying this remove the headshot (except for ult) and just make railgun do 150 PROBLEM SOLVED

I mean, personally my selfish reasons for wanting a Hog nerf, is because I kinda like the oneshot. And I genuinely don’t know how they are going to rework him without making him a throwpick.

Where as an HP nerf would be enough to move him out of the meta.

I feel like at this point y’all suck want her to suck. This sounds fine.

My approach would be Less effective in high ELO, more effective in lower ELOs.
i.e. Less Rail, more Primary Fire.
Although Ult version of Rail is fine being really strong.

But it seems like they are going less Primary Fire, and leaving Rail untouched.

Like, why?

Yeah, they’re really good at doing that…and then stripping everything else away from the character and leaving them a near empty husk of a hero :pensive:

dam … probably mid season patch

The fact that she has better mobility, sustained damage, and can actually contest objectives safely?

Wrong sojourn nerfs, hog untouched, doomfist nerfed to a state worse than his season 1 form where he was literally the worst hero in the game across all roles, orisa getting buffs??? while being the 2nd best tank in the game, arguably 3rd.

Ana getting buffs to her nade while ignoring the fact… kiriko STILL makes her kit useless so the buffs are literally cosmetic lmfao.

No Hog nerf? *Aggressive pig squeals, rolls in the mud

Ha ha ha… I am sorry for the cringe. I am just very excited that people did not get their way just because they were screeching.

Alec came from HS, where every release, patch, etc, is a balance clown fiesta and broken stuff remained untouched for weeks, and by the time they made changes, new expansion came out soon after introducing more broken stuff.

Go figure.

I mean… they were screeching for a reason lmao. The hero needs some nerfs, but according to the leaks he’s getting a soft rework and his one shot removed in the midseason patch so who knows.

I am just glad that her grenade no longer slows. There is absolutely zero reason a hero as mobile and as deadly as Sojourn had an area denial grenade that also slows targets…

I mean, it’s nice.

But it doesn’t address the root problem.

It’s crazy how dumb sojourn is when you really think about it.

:white_check_mark: Has a one shot.
:white_check_mark: Has high primary fire damage.
:white_check_mark: Has an aoe ability that deals high damage AND slows.
:white_check_mark: Has hyper mobility.
:white_check_mark: Has an ult that lets her one shot constantly with no real build up.

It’s crazy how that was like… allowed. OH AND they buffed her from season 1 to season 2 lmao.
