Remove sigmas shield

Proposal to remove sigmas shield and in return make his left click more consistent/increase fire rate and make rock cast instantly similar to hog hook. Sigma does everything and has no counter play, make him a traditional off tank.

You are not the only person on the team. Itā€™s so weird how people try and make it a point to say ā€œthey have to do X firstā€ like no??? Theres 6 people on every team???

You can just push through a shield and grasp isnā€™t an issue for Zarya nor Winston.

assuming u have enough damage on your team to get through 2 shields and leave enough downtime to kill a sigma, you just gotta hope he doesnt get healed before the 2 shields regen, also hope u dont get rocked, orisa pulled, whip shotted?

So why not nerf his self peel, and buff his barrier?

you cant have a hero do off tank damage with a main tank shield, he has too much in his kit

I could see his shield going away in exchange for cleaving primary fire, pushing him even more towards a brawler.

Or could do the opposite and nerf Grasp. Another thing to consider.

Thatā€™s the trick. Give AnchorTanks a close range weakness, and pump up the close range strength on other Tanks. Then it works just fine.

AnchorTank OtherTanks
Strength: Medium/Long Range Close Range
Weakness: Close Range Medium/Long Range
Firepower: Similar Similar

i do agree but sigma is already weak at close range, only orisa needs fortify nerfed in that regard imo. If you would consider them the 2 anchor tanks.

what about zarya, sym, meiā€¦ also his kinetic grasp, that is on a 10 second cooldown and when he uses it he is completely vulnerable to beam attacks and even attacks from behind and above. he canā€™t stun you cant put his barrier up, nothing of the sort.

the probably is closing the distance on him with those heroes if theyre playing a double shield comp. if sigma is playing as the ā€˜main tankā€™ he is fairly easy to take care of with lucio,rein,zarya comp

Way ahead of you on that.

been saying this for a year. sigma should have never gotten a barrier. at the very least make his barrier have like 400 hp and act like sym 2.0 shield

they should put his power into grasp and rock. let him fly with grasp and move 1.5x faster. do what op said and make his rock cast faster, or at least be able to charge its power

This made me laughā€¦ sure, lose double jump on Genji we have a deal.

yes that could be another option making his shield low hp and mainly used for blocking cooldowns and burst damage (hog hook, earth shatter, dva bomb ect.)

Genjis is get nerfs on next patch, maybe after hew will be troll pick for another 2 years :wink:

Hardly. And he was always better than people wanted to give him credit for, most just couldnā€™t hit his skill floor.

you can include hog in the list of counters especially with how fast he can mow down his shield
