Both these heroes are like middle of the pack now do to small reworks and nerfs to them or the environment around them.
Kiri is no longer a hard counter to riens shatter, and sojourns railgun had ther break points adjusted.
Your like 2~3 ish patch behind my guy.
yea i’m not saying they are a problem anymore. the issue is it took 12 months for that to happen.

It’s almost as if we had multiple hero releases, many changing the line up of favored heroes pushing people up and down the ladder. In various over ways. And that their is more ways to balance hero then just directly doing stuff to their kit.
as like these two were going back and forth from A~b teir to on the regular. Like lets forget moria was the big bad support for a good minute their is now played alot more then the fox girl.
soj and kiri were both meta for 8 plus seasons. play rates shouldn’t be that important for balance bc lower ranks tend to congregate around easy characters even if the hero isn’t good ie moira,junk.mercy.
Warning: do not feed the troll
Surprised pikachu face
So for starters play rates tend to be reflection on perceived balance in a lot of cases. If hero sudden jumps up and down their is usually a reason for such.
It is one tool in many to find and execute upon issues.
Secondly… No, these heroes simply were not the best options with the tank lineups that were being played. at any given period.
Kiri didn’t do much to mauga, while soujorn thrived for a hot minute their.
while when rien got his buffs suddenly it became a lot harder for soujourn to hit rail gun shots. And kiri got played a lot more to counteract shatter.
It’s as if the ebb and flow of the game changes a lot.
dawg for the second time im not saying they are op anymore. i was using them as an example bc both heros were meta for a long time. im saying if they have a similar approach to others characters ie pharrah then the game is going to suffer for it. stop focusing in the characters and address the actual point i’m making.
