Been playing this game since launch and have seen every single iteration of Blizzard’s reworks on her. And I believe that she is closer and closer to being a great pick.
But I think Blizzard made a small mistake this time around in reworking her. They took away her iconic primary fire because they thought they had buffed her into goddess hood, when in reality:
- Her turrets can still be easily destroyed
- Her secondary is good but still needs charge and moves slower than pharah rocket
- She has no protection
- Her means of escape takes a very slow amount of time in a fast-paced game
Solution: Give her the old primary (with no range increase, and old damage)
Honestly, coupled with her teleporter, I think that her beam can be a very clever tool for her to use and make her kit ABSOLUTE perfection.
I’m not joking.
If it needs to be nerfed afterwards, then I can understand it.
But giving her a long range and short range option would make her perfect.
It would make sense not to give her a defensive capability and it would allow her to punish those who invade the space she is protecting.
If Blizzard gave it back, how much better I believe she would be! Still beatable by Moira in terms of her lock on, but better IMO.
If they don’t then I understand, they don’t want to trash hard work and money put into changing that part of her kit.
But as of now, she is incomplete.
Her primary fire takes still too long to ramp and while it is powerful, it is still doesn’t do much for her own protection (Oh, maybe they could give her extra shields with each ramp instead of the ammo refund?)
Anyways, just my thought! I love our symmetrical goddess and I can tell that Blizzard put a lot of hard work and effort into her!
I appreciate it, Blizz. Thanks!
