Not really the Illari buff I wanted, but I’ll take anything.

The Zarya buffs. Why. She is so annoying to deal with even now. She’ll be steamrolling everyone now.

I’m not seeing anything here that makes tank not feel like total trash.

he isnt supposed to have the 2 tap combo thats the whole point of season 9 and if he cant find any value without it its time for a rework

They hardly qualify for patch notes. Am i supposed to feel anything for a 10% increase in damage reduction on Hog during breather when that isn’t the issue!? It’s the inability to heal at all when hit by the dps passive! The game is finished. This time, it’s official. If this is what i can expect for changes from here on out, well, i may as well uninstall. None of the other changes fix much anything either and miss a ton of things

It’s almost like that’s a poor decision that some heroes can’t exist in.
Like I said he’ll keep getting buffed over and over and all it will do is ruin low ranks since he needs the combo to exist in high ranks. Buffing everything else changes nothing when against players who are good at the game.

I got my wish for a lower cooldown on pylon. Thank you, devs.

Wasn’t Illari ult 120 damage? Typo I think.
The changes seem fine to me. Was hoping Zen projectile size would have been reduced by a little bit, but I guess he isn’t a walking nuclear strike anymore
unless they give other heros back a 2tap burst combo its time for junk to change and while it sucks that the devs are willing to just put blanket changes that force heros to lose there identity thats all the devs will ever do. like realistically the devs NEVER go back on a bad decision they make. like wait for zen to lose his discord as it wont work in this high hp meta and anti heal passive on all dps
Good :
- projectile size decrease for D.va, Hanzo, Soldier, Mercy, Lucio and Widow.
- buff to Junkrat and tiny buffs for tanks
Bad :
- does not address the elephant in the room, which is the discord + dps passive combo against tanks
- does not address Zen’s massive projectiles
- buffs Illari’s ult damage (not really needed) without addressing her healing really (2 sec CD reduction on pylon is useless).
- no projectile size reduction for Genji (I think it’s needed)
- nothing on Sojourn’s rail generation (too fast, too easy)
- AND (edit) Sombra still has permastealth, one of the worst idea any dev could ever have had.

Literally. And even outside of her interactions with dva, she does not need to deal any more damage than she already does. She MELTS people from 15m.

Knew Junkrat wasn’t getting much because gotta make him have bad stats implying oh look gotta rework him finally. Although he needs better passive and new ability over Trap

Well that won’t happen in any reasonable timeframe since they were clearly surprised at him underperforming. See: The pre-emptive nerf last patch. They have no plans to rework him right now. A rework would be a year away so get ready for him to burn low ranks to the ground when they keep buffing him in the meantime.

Wow they are addressing the problematic picks?
Can’t remember the last time this has happened.

I just wish they wouldn’t cave into the, “people do not like playing against him so we should keep him bad” that it feels like they’re doing.
Like, all this work when people should just accept that it is possible to die in ways that you do not like and that should be fine.

Changes are nice.
Only one that makes about as much sense as a laser light show at a blind persons convention is the Widow fall off damage. Why?!
