he certainly don’t feel like support to me

Yes, he’s going to get nerfed again.
But he absolutely feels like a support to me. The first four supports the game had on release were Mercy, Zen, Lucio, and Sym, and Mercy-type supports are very much in the minority almost a decade later. So I dunno why people are still shocked when a new support comes out and surprise surprise, their design revolves around them doing both damage and healing.

doing damage sure, kiriko’s headshot? fair enough. zen’s charge shot? that’s fair you gotta aim. baptise? mm need aiming.
Wuyang? explosive ball of doom with unlimited range + decent mobility with knockback… bruh. I think i get kill by wuyang more than dps nowadays
Edit: I mean as a support (i play ana a lot)

Its not about him being able to do dmg and healing at the same time. It’s the amount of dmg he does + all his kit
Zen for example does alot of dmg but he’s slow, has no mobility (not couting flying perk) and he has a huge hitbox. Wuyang faster on the ground then lucio with his ability, does 100dmg in 1 shot. Kiri has the smallest hitbox in the game and has huge kunai projectile.
He doesn’t have drop-off technically but… in order to get extreme ranged orbs to hit, he has to channel them. In which case he’s choking his fire rate. So while it’s not directly damage drop-off, too much sniping with the guy does lower his damage potential. Since each orb does 100 damage when charged, the Ana (or whatever) you’re poking won’t die from it unless she’s already low - she has plenty of time to reposition.
I don’t think lowering the damage of charged orbs will really bring him down like you’d expect. Say they take it down to 80 damage per orb - three orbs is still going to kill a 250 HP target.
I think the safest bet for a nerf is to simply take him down to 225 HP. That should knock down his win rate a peg.

his too “safe” when his sniping b/c of his projectile control. and when you approach him, he just laugh at you while riding his wave AND knocks you back AND throw water orb at you since you can’t really keep up to his speed, all the orb he throws is the enhanced orb.
fighting him feels like fight a widow lucio combo
He’s getting a nerf. If you’re having problems with him just make sure you and your team put in the work to kill him. Otherwise get outplayed.

Another over designed hero… mobility and damage is not fair for any character plus a boop is legit stupid. You would have thought that Freya and sojourn was enough of a case study on what not to do… now we are stuck with them lol.
