Sojourn, Mei, Ramattra meta?

Being able to stack slow and aoe dots is pretty nasty.

Ramattra: Vortex + Sojourn: Disruption + Mei with the Freezygun and wall would make for a really really nasty combo.

Most tanks won’t be able to get out of it, since the slows stack, and Vortex as a lot of slow, as does Freezygun.

51/s from disruption, 100/s from freezygun, whatever nastyness Vortex brings, and the inability to get of it, makes it act like a particularly nasty Blizzard like ult, but on a much shorter cooldown with fewer escape options.

Stacking slows is nasty, and now there is a lot of aoe slows to stack.

If you have a player stack, I’d give this a go when the new hero drops. I think it will be really strong.

God I hope they will give Sojourn appropriate nerfs and not just a slap on a wrist. A hero with a one-shot ability shall never be S-tier. Heck, even B-tier is probably too much for it. WM and Hanzo are specialists and are map and team composition dependent making them C-tier outside of extremely high brackets. So Sojourn should be trimmed down to that level too.

Also I hope they will not let all these things stack, that’s just ridiculous.

Plus Kiriko and Lucio for the speed boosts, though maybe that’s a bit overkill :smile:

Slows stack now, so unless they put something in to stop it specifically, why yes, it will be ridiculous :slight_smile:

That is literally the planned stack we are going into next season with.

Ramattra, Sojourn, Mei, Lucio, Kiriko. Though we may move Kiriko out for Zen, because discord :slight_smile:

I dont expect this to happen because Sojourn will likely get a decent fall of nerf to rail gun, which in turn makes Widow and Hanzo great counter picks. Mei isnt particulary great against them.

Well, they could always just scale that down to where you can’t stack slows.

There’s no cap to slow?

The ability to be able to burn down the tank on the other team super quickly is not to be underestimated.

Also wall is a good short term way to stop snipers, and it looks like that is all the time you will need.

There is no cap to slow. I know, crazy right?

Yes, but that will be something they will have to put in. I am SURE they will cap slow sacking after season 2.

If thats gonna happen, their tank will just switch to Zarya and bubble herself out.

They are walking into the trap of their own making… again.

– Stacking AoE heals led to the Doublucio + Twinston meta (old times, yeah, some might still remember that OW didn’t have hero limits at the beginning). So they stopped AoE heals from stacking
– Stacking harmony orbs on Genji led to Double-Zen meta (still old times). So just about that time they said enough is enough and added hero limits
– Stacking tanks and their defense abilities together with Brig led to goats meta, so they introduced role limits to remedy the situation
– Stacking shields led to double-barriers meta so they gave up and removed 1 tank leading to 5v5

There just… isn’t much stuff left to remove from the game. They again enable some sort of crazy stacking. What next, 1 DPS, 1 tank, 1 support? Welcome to Overwatch 3: 3v3?

Can’t have more than 1 playstyle and team comps

I think she will need to use both bubbles to do so. The damage per second will be something fierce. I mean, yes, she is the obvious counter.

But your bubble will only last around a second, and that is entirely without the damage from Ramattra’s attack, Sojourn’s primary, whatever the supports are bringing being taken into account

It will be pretty harsh even on Zarya. On the other hand she will go from zero to Christmas tree almost instantly.

In theory they can… if they’d have enough competence to make it balanced. But they don’t have that. They’re like a doctor that prescribes a guillotine when their patient complains about a headache.

This sounds absolutely horrible and the Genji in my veins wants to be disgusted by this but considering Ill play quite some rammatra when he releases I won’t have to suffer any of this any time soon

Ironically Ram has no mobility options, so hes the most vulnerable to this strategy. Genji could just dash out.

Oh, they are likely to be using this to burn down the tank. Yeah, Genji will dash out. but D’va, Winston, Rein, etc, they won’t be able to leave.

Even Rein’s charge will keep him in there too long, because slow stacking is REALLY brutal.

As you said, Zarya has a chance, but few others do.

The 1 trick Doom dream is dead? :pensive:

Rein can charge out. Ram vortex only prevents jumping like abilities which makes you gain height as i understand. But you can still dash/charge horizontally. D.Va can still booster out. Winston is screwed though.

Have you seen what happens to Reins charge when freezygun and old syms turrets were on him?

It will be like that, but more so, so I don’t think he is charging out, same reason as I think D’va isn’t going anywhere either.

Slow stacking will basically freeze them.

mei is trash, she’ll never be meta without buffs
