As the title says, the Season 9 changes did not work out how the devs wanted them to.
Infact many of the changes got reverted or just didn’t effect certain heroes at all anyway.
Many heroes that were good, just became better or stayed the same and even had to be nerfed:
- Cassidy (nerfs)
- Sojourn (nerfs)
- Tracer (nerfs)
- etc.
And many many heroes that were already mid had to be buffed to keep up with everything and many of them still did not make it:
- Junker Queen (buffs)
- D.va (buffs)
- Reinhardt (buffs)
- Zarya (buffs)
- Mei (buffs)
- Reaper (buffs)
- Sym (buffs)
- Lifeweaver (buffs)
- Illari (buffs)
- etc.
Not to mention a lot of the bullet size buffs, especially on projectile heroes got almost entirely reverted too.
Heroes like Illari (hitscan) received increases from 0.05m to 0.13m (+160%)
Meanwhile heroes like Mercy (slow projectile) went from 0.25m to 0.275m (+10%) because of outcries on Twitter and TikTok.
Overall, projectile heroes feel basically the same or worse and hitscan just feel a thousand times better.
So much went wrong here
