so i played couple of games where i played against the new character (freya/freja) (i will call her freya cuz im used to it more from mythology)
So the thing about freya that i do not like the most is probably how broken her right click ability is, it deals around 100 damage and its kinda easy to hit and its basically spammable so tanks are just gone and dead half of the game, sombra might be the play but other characters i don’t think they have much of a chance other than outdamage it.
my solution to this would be making that right click attack be a right click ability with a decently long cooldown like 10 seconds or nerf the damage quite a bit.
so instead of 100 damage it would only deal around 50 (yes it’s kind of a drastic change)
but i don’t think that a normal attack basically should deal the same damage as a genji blade and its ranged too + the character can keep a distance really well.
(keep in mind i don’t really know how much damage it really does but its kinda high so im using 100 cuz thats what i always missed in health when i got hit with the ability)
or as i said before make it a right click ability like rein shield for example and make it have like 12 second cooldown so its actually atleast managable and not spammable.
While it does more dmg than 100, cmon 50? Like you want it to take 5 shots to kill. While it has a reload after each shot, assuming no dashes to reset. Or a 12s cd to use her alt fire? I get you don’t like the hero but might as well just ask her to be removed than made completely useless.

She is basically just Hanzo with permanent access to storm arrow and triple the mobility.

to be fair im just ranting about the new character there
but i do strongly think the right click is overpowered compared to other heroes
And if it is too strong, nerfs will come. From the beta weekend they said she underperformed, and her right click was the same. Given it was only qp and people don’t know the hero yet, so they will get better data going forward.
I find her pretty easy to play around. If you get hit by a right click, don’t be in the open for a second one.
For someone who can’t aim, I find the right click surprisingly easy to hit somehow. Is it just me or is the hit box massive?
its not just you i find it extremely easy to hit too for the damage it deals wich is what i am ranting about over here

It is very easy to hit and it is overpowered. It does too much damage and is spammable.

She also has a very erratic movement as her right click makes it that she retains momentum.
So Freja can dash in the air, right click, fire and continue flying in that direction.
It’s very jarring to try even hitting her as Junkrat.
Shes if hanzo and pharah had a baby. two of probably the top 5 most hated heros turned into another strong hero.

Hanzo hasn’t been strong since before S9. Even then, he was always solidly middle of the pack at best.
Didn’t say he was strong. hes not be meta for a long time save for a couple comps.
But he’s a very hated hero who is just a spam character that does a ton of dmg. They gave his spam and damage to a character with pharah mobility
Partially true. Fair to mention that the spam part of his kit are and always were Storm Arrows.
The right click is technically her primary with left click just being spam shots to clean up with
Freya underperforms because most people don’t know how to chain exploding arrows yet. You have to press multiple buttons to stick someone with two arrows at once.
So far it’s a coin toss, do you get a bomb spammer or a confused left clicker who never does anything.
I just think that bombs shouldn’t be 10 times bigger than Hanzo’s arrows.
