Every time I don’t pick kiriko, I pray to god they don’t have ana. And they always have. I don’t know if this game would be playable if there was no kiriko. All 3 abilities are busted. I think it’s a terrible design when a hero is sacrificing nothing and cancels the enemy abilities or cancel the enemy entirely, like Zen does. It’s a good design when you have a powerful ability that people need to respect, like nemesis form, or let’s say lucio speed amp. But every time one char cancels fun for others, the game becomes unhealthy.
It’s fine if Mei is freezing people with Q, cuz it’s Q, it’s gonna happen 2-3 times. You should reduce the amount of abilities that cancel another character’s abilities or cancel the entire char. I hate forced switching. I want to play the heroes I want to play. It’s a freaking game after all, no?
Here are some ideas for reworks.
Nade - make it that it reduces healing for 35% for 5 seconds. 0% heal for almost 4 seconds is an absurd, especially in 5v5 where deaths are way more impactful.
Suzu - make it targeted throw, like Brig’s E. Let it cancel one death, that’s it. No cleansing, no canceling enemy abilities, no invulnerability. You throw it on the guy, he starts glowing. If his life reduces to 0, 60% life will restore immediately. If he doesn’t die during the effect, reduce the cooldown for 5 seconds. Let’s say 15 to 20 sec cd for this should be fine.
Discord - make it 15% damage eating, not 25%. It’s an absurd. Yall attacking mercy for one char 25% boost, but this guy increases the damage for 25% for all 5 members of the team at the same time. And make it with 7 seconds cooldown. The cooldown starts when the discord comes back, so there’s at least some counter-play.
Or you can have your own changes, I don’t care.
Yes these are nerfs, but I don’t see any other options here. It’s getting really annoying.
And yes, I know that there are some counterplays to these abilities, don’t bother writing. I am just saying that it’s anti-fun. I don’t want to hug the wall and afk for 3 seconds and then immediately get the discord back. I don’t want to always play a tank that has at least something to offer against ana nade if my team has no kiriko. I don’t want to build an entire ult and then have it canceled in a second with one touch of button with 0 efforts. It’s not fun to cancel others, it’s not fun to create such huge power gaps.
P.S delete pharah too please. Thank you.
