I’m working on a stat compilation and chart comparing my Pharah stats from across the seasons.
But recently Bliz put direct hit accuracy into the stats for Pharah, and honestly I’m a bit concerned.
Pre change Season 10 - 28% direct hit accuracy
Pre/Post Change Season 11 - 21% direct hit accuracy
Post change season 12 - 17% direct hit accuracy
Also bare in mind that damage went down as well.
Season 10 average damage output was the about 16k, season 11 was 14k, and season 12 was 13k.
I called it a nerf from the get go, and so far it’s starting to show.
Accuracy:
Season 10 - 53%
Season 11 - 48%
Season 12 - 48%
Direct Hit Accuracy:
Season 10 - 28%
Season 11 - 21%
Season 12 - 17%
Damage:
Season 10 - 16k
Season 11 - 14k
Season 10 - 13k
My stats were actually really damn good, even when taking into account that I was playing the way the Devs had stated the changes would benefit. But in an attempt to take advantage of the changes, the stats suffer.
Will post results overall after I compile and average.
But the firerate increase wasn’t a buff, it was a nerf, and especially with Ashe on the horizon, Pharah’s gonna need some love.
