It’s actually a Nerf though
A nerf to spamming from a milliom miles away. A buff to fighting close or on point where the most important fights take place. She’s a dive hero now.

Why does only PS4 EU struggle with Pharmercy to this extent? Do none of y’all play Widow or what?

She’s always been a dive hero my dude.
You’re talking to someone who’s got 450+ hours on her.

They’re too used to single player and play for you games like heavy rain.

@trando 450+ hrs on old pharah.
no it’s really not i’ve played over 500 hours of her with a direct % over 20 and it only hinders me.
Have you tried to shoot them down?
I completely understand your frustration op. I also play on PS4 EU and it’s unbearable. I hear that US console players don’t have that issue but in EU Pharmercy dominates almost every game. However, maybe the changes will do something about that but I don’t get my hopes up.
Pharah was top 500 for a very long time on PS4, even the US leaderboard. She is now much more balanced in my eyes. Her splash damage doesn’t kill people fast enough anymore. But her direct shots can still kill 200 health heroes in 200 shots which is intended. However, she can now kill 250 health heroes in only 2 shots too.
Pharah’s who can actually aim got a buff. People who picked her for splash damage spamming got the nerf. They can’t cheese their way to victory anymore with cheap kills.
Pharah can still be a threat to tanks though. They have large hitboxes and Pharah can easily land directs on tanks. Give her ult charge faster.
As a master myself (I main Moira but play in Master/GM tiers). Pharah is in a good place and this was the balance I and many others wanted.
just come to pc, pharah is borderline trivial to deal with even with mercy holding her hand. i am actually tempted to play ow on console since i am also from eu and to experience it first hand but there is going back from 240hz to 60hz, basically feels like underwater.
Im a tank main im just bored seeing as DVA is the only decent tank against her and i dont enjoy Her
It’s a heavy nerf. All of her counters have received significant buffs, her primary support has been hard nerfed and her damage was just changed so you can’t juggle someone with rockets and have to get double direct hits to kill.
Pharmercy has been gutted to appease the console crowd.
The game can’t be balanced around PS4 EU, my dude
Oh dear me, I forgot that new Pharah completely voids any experience I may have had on old Pharah…
Um, no.
Pharah was, still is, an incredibly versatile hero. She fits multiple roles including dive, flank, and from line assault, now a better tank buster/shield breaker.
That being said, the changes really only benefit top top tier players at about only a potential 2% increase in effectiveness and that’s only in the best possible case scenario, a totally unrealistic expectation even at top tier play. (Based on another forum goer’s post Running the numbers: Pharah changes (math closer to reality)).
The fire rate Increase alone is meaningless without:
- A base damage increase for direct hits
- A rocket speed increase to pull off direct hits faster or at distance
- Some form of survivability to pair with the idea you have to get closer to the action to score more direct hits now.
I’m not denying her damage potential and TTK potential has gone up, but it’s just that potential, it’s just on paper, in practice she’s either not effective enough in capable hands, or the rewards are certainly not worth the risk.
Out of curiosity
How long did it take Pharah to empty all 6 rockets previously?
How long does it take her now?
It was 5.4 seconds previously, now it’s 4.5
