Stadium, Zarya nightmare

Feels like people and blizz cant get enough of her. Like 5v5 Zarya wasnt unkillable enough, we get the worst version of her yet. So unbelievably unplayable when you cant do anything about her.

I was kind of thinking this about Queen too. She has so much sustain that when she gets her HP up and her carnage, she can only really die if she’s just drastically out of position in corner somewhere. She gets MVP almost every round spamming shout and carnage. Might need a tiny tweaking down.

Zarya is ridiculously strong right now, She doesn’t care about anything since she can melt you in 0.5s or face tank & peel like crazy, this is insane. Pretty sure she will need a serious nerf to some of her perks.

The mode would be so much more fun if they didn’t include Zarya and Ana

Yeah I just played my first (and probably only, for tonight at least) Stadium match. I was Zarya vs their Zarya. It was such a slog. We played all the rounds and it lasted forever.

The fact that multiple people can be bubbled is so annoying. She definitely needs a rework, but again, I’ve only played one match so I can’t say too much.

But I look at the other tank options and it’s like “who can I really play if I want to actually have an impact?”

Rein can definitely block for days, I just played a match as him

If Zarya is going full bubble mode, you can go full shield mode and outlast her outlasting. Can’t say for sure if it would work because I haven’t fought Zarya yet, but it seemed pretty good.

I can confirm Dva even with the 30% beam reduction against beams still gets melted.

So tired of Zarya just being able to press two buttons the whole game and not have to think

It’d also be better without Genji. I saw him every game last season in comp, let me try the new mode in peace

problem is, i lose from the choosing stage… i cant change my hero

You deserve peace; however, the dragon shall wake the phoenix.

I played four stadium games yesterday, three of them had Zarya as a tank on my team. Only one game did we win.

Not to mention they only gave her 1 ability to mitigate the beam damage. It has to be a joke. If rather have the ability be higher tier, and then mitigate at least 50 percent… AT LEAST

From my short experience, JQ is nasty if you don’t have a Zarya or Kiriko on the enemy team. Otherwise she can’t do much until she gets some powers and items going. I tried the axe build, it’s extremely fun but Kiriko with double suzus is rough.
Zarya hits like a truck but didn’t really feel unkillable. Rein on the other hand… I don’t know, the dude just refuses to die. And once he gets in melee range you will get farmed.
