They nerfed Cassidy which also indirectly buffs Pharah. She’s still going to be dominant.

Pharah need a rework. She is a hardcounter

I’ll just outright say it.
She needed her rate of fire, splash damage, fuel and dash all hard nerfing. Potentially direct damage too.

No arguments here.
Her boop not doing damage does matter, but now its displacement is better overall and better against tanks cuz they had that nerfed.
Its the season(s) of Pharah

Nah, they just need to combine the armor passives, and remove Mauga out of the meta.
The only reason Pharah is meta is
- She basically ignores armor
- She combos well with Mauga Ult, and the AOE lifesteal.
Remove both of those, and Pharah won’t be meta.

Nope. If it were really just her synergy with Mau making her meta, she wouldnt be as widespread as she is, or have the winrate she has.
She’s meta because:
- Very high level mobility with practically no downtime if managed correctly.
- Outstanding burst damage that’s easier than ever to hit with.
- Hit-scans no longer hard-counter her because of her increased hp and mobility.
Womp womp.

I think the direct damage numbers are fine, those take more skill. The rest, yes, as well as a reduction to the splash radius I’d say.
DPS mains won’t be happy until there are no flying heroes in the entire game.
They’ll reach true nirvana if the game were 5v5 all hitscan.
There are so many other games that do this stuff already. Why not play those?

Dude, you don’t even have a clue how winrate is calculated, much less how badly it’s designed, and how literally no other game uses that math.
Echo is probably stronger now with all the tank cd buffs, but no one is overly complaining about her. There might be a reason people can accept echo being strong, but not pharah

Echo doesn’t AoE spam

Yes, because Echo spends more time on the ground.
Echo has been superior to Pharah in every way for years.
Echo has THREE attacks, one of which is more devastating than anything Pharah has.
Echo has such a great ult, she is actually better at Pharah’s ult than Pharah herself is, because Echo cannot die while casting it.
Yet even when pocketed, players never complain about Echo because she spends more time on the ground.
I think the issue is clear - players just hate having to look up into the air. And they never complained about Pharah before unless she was being pocketed, which deserves no complaint because you’re not supposed to win a 1v2.

Echo can use fly for a split second combined with gliding to have high air uptime so I don’t think it’s that
It’s almost like Echo doesn’t win for free vs half the roster with little to no effort or risk.

Never in 100 years did I think anyone would imply that about Pharah.
More airtime literally means nowhere to hide, shoot me plz.
Pharah’s hitbox is also the size of a cargo plane compared to Echo.

Why is basic Algebra difficult for you?
-5 damage is dramatically less damage blocked than -30% on Pharah, Cassidy, Hanzo and Junkrat.
Do you just not understand why she hard counters half the roster? They can’t interact with her.

But Echo has those same benefits, yet she is harder to shoot than Pharah while up in the air.

She’s not in the air anywhere near as much and actually has aim requirements.

What are you even talking about? -5 damage? What? I never mentioned armor, nor do I need to. Pharah is most lethal to squishies who have no armor to begin with.
I might be rusty at algebra but at least I dont need 2 response to 1 comment to get a point across
