In less than a year they uber nerfed zenyatta. The messed with his discord and made it clunky. The nerfed his kick, they decreased his hp. Today the nerfed his projectile size. All while buffing his counters!! Buffing doom and giving sombra 3 buffs. You have a perma stealth character with a cheap high damage easy to land shot.
Zen needs the the 25hp back. This dev team has absolutely no idea how to balance their game. I have played about 10 games after the patch, I may have won 2 at best. Match making is trash and there is a sombra in every game, hiding like a coward!! I always get close to killing her and they she runs away and tries again 10 seconds. She has a tiny hitbox and zen’s is huge!
Zen has no movement ability, no defensive abilities and a huge hitbox. He only has his damage and discord. Yet you decide to nerf his kick, hp, discord and projectile size. I really don’t get it. If you hate the character so much just delete him!!
Nah. I understand the argument, but trust me… That did not apply to Zen. He was DECAPITATING kids left and right. If it was not for how busted Tracer was, I would have called him the best DPS in the game.
I play almost exclusively Zen on Support. It happened quite often. I would KNOW I hit a headshot but because a Kiriko hand or a tracer shoulder was in the way I would body shot instead.
In order to hit headshots I had to compensate my aim to shoot between the head and the name tag.
I do not disbelieve you. It could still happen currently. It used to happen with his OG projectile size. The game is jank. That being said, this is absolutely, without a doubt, a nerf. There is no question about it. Objectively. Yeah, I said the word.
I think is a nerf to those who body shot more consistently then headshot. If they did not headshot often the modifier wasn’t huge to them but hitting the enemy more often was valuable.
So objectively, Bodyshotters are nerfed.
But also objectively, More accurate Zen players are buffed. Because missing headshots to only get body shots when a headshot was needed to live is a nerf.
I cannot complain. Well, actually, I can. How dare they not give him his old TTK?!
In all seriousness, I love the 12% ultimate cost reduction. You have no idea how many times I was only 1-3% off and the stars aligned for a sick death blossom that might actually get a kill for once.
I appreciate that they acknowledged his existence because the forums were all about Junkrat and Symmetra. Symmetra and Junkrat. Can we please help Junk? The developers hate Symmetra. Junkrat is the worst hero! No Symmetra is the worst hero!
All that white noise did not accidentally confuse the developers and that makes me happy.
Blizzard keeps buffing meta heroes, maybe it’s their way of saying they want to kill off all projectile heroes in the game and only allow dive and hitscans to thrive.
zen was overbuff at the begin of season 9. And it was annoying to play against. (And yet, it’s only flankers who complains lol)
Now it’s playable for both sides. For me, at least
He’s been one of the absolute worst characters for tanks to play against since launch of OW2 because he was gigabuffed by the removal of a tank.
Boo.
Hoo.
