They really buffed ANA, Kiriko and Moira

No, I hear Qrow has his literal ear.

Donā€™t tank games and try to runaway on your yacht. Qrow will find you.

Why are they buffing Doomfist? Heā€™s the most unhealthy Tank design. He is self-sustain with no care for his teammates, and he stuns VERY frequently and can 1-shot combo with Empowered Punch + shoot.

We both know she shouldnā€™t be getting this buff while other heroes are being nerfed.

They need to solidly nerf Juno first and foremost. The biggest problem in the support role right now is one of them is just outrageously stronger than the rest. Itā€™s hard to conceptualize balance beond that right now tbh. Untill they actually nerf this hero, all the other supports feel weak.

Kiriko needed perhaps a small adjustment. I donā€™t agree with three buffs at once. Moira needing a buff is a joke to be honest, especially when specifically citing her ā€˜survivibiltyā€™ (with an ultra low CD tele ability and self heal and damage). But Ana getting a strong buff is just like hysterical.

Nerf Juno. 10% ult charge rate is an absolute joke of a nerf. Almost every other support does feel pointless until she gets a proper nerf. T500 support PR before this patch; Juno, 380. Ana, 286. Brigitte, 235. Kiriko, 130. Zenyatta, 86. Baptiste, 78. Lucio, 49. Illari, 34. Moira, 30. Mercy, 27. Lifeweaver, 9.

Of the top four supports, one got a slap on the wrist nerf, and two got buffed? Please fix the support role, it is so damn boring right now.

I think i can explain it pretty well!

Blatant favoritism.

(Also, gotta love how they also gave two* Junk nerfs im the same patch!)

*dragons buff is a nerf to Junkrats tire, trap, and conc. Mine

(I think conc. mine? Is conc mine counted as a buildable? Its a really odd situation compared to the other definite buildables)

Holy this patch is so weird lol. The changes are so random; only one I expected was a minor Kiriko buff just because theyā€™d already sowed the seeds for it, but buffing Tracer?Leaving Ashe as she is?

The reaper nerf makes sense if the other meta dps also get touched in a similar way, butā€¦?

And imo at this point they should revert the range nerf on Juno. Let her feel better while still nerfing her. (Thank god they finally nerfed ult charge 3 changes later though; that was the main problem all along lol)

Holy moly just looked at the t500 for Europe at least and basically everyona nd their mother has Tracer as one of their top played; itā€™s worse than I thought. :joy:

Only way to fix the support role is to delete or dumpster to F tier every single hero other than Lucio and Juno. Any other support being meta is way too unacceptable to some portion of this player base

Kiri pretty much got gigabuffed and is lowkey gonna be very strong now.

She got reverted to 0.5s firerate from 0.55s which was compensation for buffing her damage numbers to 60 body 120 headshot, 7 second tp, 14 second suzu

So all of her numbers are higher than they were in season 12, except for hp.

Also yikes why are we nerfing Junkrat and Reaper in the big 2024, and buffing the #1 dps in the game lmao

I wish they didnā€™t leave Ilari and Mercy out. The rest seem fine.

I gave up on life a long time ago

When it lands it counts as a buildable, I believe. I donā€™t think tire counts for that damage though? But they might have just explained it improperly. Someone test it out.

Yeahā€¦ feels like they dislike specialists, unless the specialists are tanks, like Doomfist.

While ignoring 3 major dps also hard controlling the meta for that role much more than reaper. Kinda crazy.

I mean they did delete the majority of interesting and interactive utility at this point. Depressing since that kind of stuff is what made OW interesting and more skillful. Now we get headshots, skillshots that donā€™t need to exist, resource meters for abilities that need a weakness and immortalities. :grimacing:

Wait until he realizes Ana can 4 tap reaper again. Literal meltdown at the insane dps support

the tracer buff is actually just nothing

I like the 70-75 buff for her to allow her to compete during
Mid game with other supports
But maybe increase the cd on anti and sleep by 1second because thatā€™s where her power really lies

In light of the Mauga buffs, you should be very glad tha Ana is also good at the same time. You donā€™t want an unchecked Mauga running about.
