Revert her fire rate back to .9 seconds, .75 is too fast, and it looks stupid, why does she have a machine-gun rocket launcher?

But… i thought everyone said she was nerfed now?
Turns out it wasn’t such a nerf after all, was it?

It’s a definite nerf. My 2 cents anyway so far… E on lower cooldown not a big enough boost for this nerf. Still confused why this wasn’t just put on console.

Not even close to a nerf. She deals the damage on direct hits, but now 20% faster, huge buff, she needs a nerf.

Not if you aim better. a higher fire rate definitely means more DPS if you aim.

Not unless they give her some splash damage back. And/or increase the total direct hit damage.

Guys saying it takes more skill but not increasing her projectile speed is kinda counter to itself when the higher up in ranks you are the less likely you will live due to hitscan or really good projectile players. Pharah is not going to be better at high ranks with these changes because she already gets countered much easier up there and this just makes it even harder to do reliable damage. Even if she were to hit her targets it doesnt change the fact that a good Widow or good Hanzo eliminates her in one shot. TTK hasn’t changed, her survival therefore hasn’t changed either.
I’ll give you ground on one battlefront here though, Pharah vs Pharah battles will go quicker / to the better Pharah.

I don’t believe the changes were supposed to allow her to fare better against her counters like Widowmaker, and if you see that or a similar skilled hitscan player than obviously your taking a big risk staying Pharah. This change is good, overall it makes the pace of playing Pharah faster and rewards those with good aim.

And she didn’t need a splash nerf either.

Unless you’re shooting at a crowd.
And lower knockback also means more damage received.

She’s nerfed if your skill caps out at firing looney tunes styled outlines around people
If you can hit shots, it’s a massive buff

It’s a Nerf for people that love shooting at the floor far off from their targets. And people that love to spam Rockets into corridors and hope for a Kill.
It’s a buff for people that actually aim at the enemy.

There are scenarios where the first rocket is still travelling as you fire the second. That’s not great. But overall these are changes. Not buffs or nerfs, changes. If they had buffed direct hit dmg to 135 it would be a straight buff.

But you can’t try to land shots at higher tier play, which they said this change is for, if you are already dead. Nothing has changed for her survivability thus she isn’t more playable at higher tier.

It’s still nerfed. People still complaining want her 100% gone from the game.

I’m amazed anyone considers this a nerf. She is an absolute beast since the update

And I’m amazed anyone considers this hands down a buff. She is an absolute corpse at higher tier play then and now. No change.
I love how everyone fails to mention that soldiers’ buff is a massive nerf to pharah.
This patch overall was a nerf

Wasn’t even trying to add that in or the hitscan falloff changes previous patch because that just makes the argument even sillier. If people can’t think how she is already in a tough spot then you can’t win it as is.
It’s stupid, not a buff nor a nerf. The changes overall are a nerf though.
