Still no real nerfs? This character makes QP unplayable and is banned in basically 100% of comp games.

she did in fact get several real nerfs
the game is playable, if you truly want to make her useless simply swap to cass or mizuki and use hinder
I don’t play support or DPS so I just watch my team die.
every tank wins against vendetta you can literally stat check her
now if she is getting pocketed then perhaps you wont be able to kill her but you can at least make her respect your space
zarya is probably the best tank pick vs vendetta, just bubble whoever she dives
hog is also good for obvious reasons
Whoa buddy. WHOA!!!
JPC is the new “I cant counter this hero…” of the week. GET YOUR ACT STRAIGHT!

She literally has no viable counters & they did it on purpose to carry the storyline. It’s annoying

any character with range + good aim actually counters her
most tanks counter her as well
most supports have a way to cc / get away from her
at this point i just think people hate vendetta because she is a dps good at…killing ?

Thats why she’s still sitting at a disgusting 57% WR in QP despite being the third most picked DPS in the game?
Thats why shes perma banned in Comp, but sitting at an over 56% (the highest WR there) all the up until Masters, where she becomes second at 55%?
Her nerfs were the usual love taps Blizzard does to heroes they really want to keep relevant, just like they did with Freja for a couple seasons, nerfing everything but the actual problem until giving up and actually hitting the killswitch on the hero.
Vandetta is still very over powered, its not up for debate, and for me she is ruining QP as her matchups are some of the most polarizing in the game, and it all but requires switching just to even a playing field.
Im legit getting back into comp this season just to hit challenger and to play with hero bans enabled because in all my high master and GM games she hasnt made it through once.
quickplay doesnt really mean much as far as win rate goes, matches can have plat players and gm players on the same team
her pick rate is probably because she is perma banned in comp, quickplay is the only mode where you can reliable choose her
her pick rate is way too low for us to make accurate assumptions based on win rate alone
sym has always had a consistently high win rate, is she op? no because her pick rate is inversely very low, she is classified as a niche/specialist pick
even if vendetta wasnt perma banned, i feel like she would also fall into this niche pick category and retain a below average pick rate
also im just really tired of the win rate discussions, the game being balanced on purely stats makes zero sense and completely undermines the moment to moment gameplay itself, stats are only one of many things that blizzard should consider when balancing the game
what is polarizing about ccing a flanker? this has always been the main way to counter high mobility heroes, if you dont want to run cc then have good positioning and shoot her
most heroes in the game have ways to deal with vendetta anyways, even the smallest amount of mobility is enough to escape her effective range
people are simply upset that she does any damage at all, they dont look at the mountain of deaths sitting next to her kills
Just gonna point out she was also played almost every time she wasn’t banned in the pro play tournament last night. It was only 4 series first to 3, so not a huge sample. But even the pros are playing her a bunch.
I’d bet on her getting more nerfs over the coming months.

If a tank has to chase after one of the more mobile DPS in the game there is a good chance the match is lost right there… and if she has even the slightest pocket going on its for sure GG.
Its like early OW2 CR widow. Whoever has the better Vendetta is most likely going to win and very little that anyone else does is going to fix it.
“but she dies a lot”
Yeah and she takes 1 or 2 people with her along with who knows how many cooldowns. The amount of resources she can soak up is like dealing with a tank.
Anyone please explain why she has insane knockback resistance on overhead? You boop a charging rein more than her.
Real talk, overhead swing on LMB does not need a knockdown, regardless of her damage or tankiness.
