I noticed that this was listed as a concern about the Zen change? Is this why there so hesitant to change somethings? Can new players not see the giant red “No” circle when trying to discord the same target? Pressing the button again and seeing that discord isn’t working on the same person? Then noticing they can re apply it when that circle goes away.
Is everyone’s brain made of sausages?
I wouldn’t say it’s confusing, Zenyatta might not even be weak given his health buff. The one thing I know for certain is that it’s awkward and feels bad. I don’t enjoy playing Zenyatta as much with this clunky change.
From my observations this is a big problem with his interaction vs flankers. You can engage, disengage and re-engage with a 7 second window of no discord.
I play a lot of Lucio - now you just wall ride out of LoS and come back discord-immune. It’s a buff to everyone who ends up needing to 1v1 Zen.
No discord >>> him having 25 more HP. 25HP is nice but it doesn’t make up for being dove and having no access to discord with a flanker in your face.
Needs a rework so his discord only applies to his damage - or something. This change feels messy and robs him of his best tool when engaged by people with brains.
Damage boosts in general need to go.
Personally I think it was the right way to go as it gives some actually personal counter play to discord-
But I genuinely hope they keep him keep a Close eye on him and balance him afterward around this mechanic. Maybe his base damage. Maybe discord stays longer on a target after breaking LoS since they can cleanse it now for a finite time. There’s a lot of things they could do if he turns out too weak.
