Devs: We cant change the % of anti because itd be waaaaaayyyy too confusing from a UI pov due to the existence of Junker queen who also does anti. How are you supposed to have ANY clue whether you got hit by bio nade OR were nailed by junker queens ult? Its super easy to confuse the two.
Also devs: Were going to have Sombras EMP hack last twice as long, and still say “hacked” on the top of your screen all the same.
So glad were so concerned with UI consistency here.
Sombra is just as privileged as Ana with this new development team. They have loved her since before the launch of the game when they ignored everyone’s feedback on Neo Sombra.
I am not looking forward to the new 3 second EMP lockout. It always felt awful to die after the invisible lady took away your abilities.
I always felt like 1.5sec was way too short. Its lethal if you are out in the open and werent’ playing next to cover, but if you are along with any other supports nearby the lockout time is so short you can barely even do anything off of it.
The 3sec will not feel as bad as 5sec, but perhaps 2.5sec would have been preferred. The general playerbase could barely evne make use of 5sec EMP, so I doubt they will be able to make much better use of a 3sec lock out.
I already die within the 1.5 sec so 3 sec isn’t a huge concern
I’m surprised they only took it down from 30% to 25%. With 3 second lockout and the damage combined it’s going to be pretty comparable to old EMP in terms of effectiveness. Like you said, 2.5 seconds seems like the safer choice.
If heals are dead or limited or far away, the 25% dmg is permanent progress and guaranteed. Hack is powerful in the narrow window you have it and if you blow it (person walks to cover) or evne get stalled out for not catching a support in the blast radius or die, then the hack did nothing. 3sec is overwith very fast while the 25% dmg is perm progress until a support comes by to heal it.
What?
If a big screaming aussie lady is heading my direction while flailing a big axe I probably know what hit me versus something that turns my health bar purple with almost no sound…
Man for Ball that’s a 4.5 lockout on your ballform.
Like why is that still counted as an ability? Just make it a passive and allow Ball to roll freely.
I think the UI is more for the people that have to heal you.
And yet players will keep banging their head against a brick wall over it, instead of trying to find a new way to balance Ana.
I don’t like the devs, but the player base also don’t do themselves any favors.
The situation is so dire that I have to continuously agree with Sideways
What if there’s a big screaming aussie lady and someone gets hit by a nade who wasn’t affected by JQ ult?
Not saying they can’t fix it some way (like changing full anti-heal to purple + hatched insides or something), but having it both be purple would obviously be confusing in some cases.
The only difference is Ana’s power in dev team comes from supports actually liking her.
While sombra’s I don’t know why community certainly doesn’t like her, a lot of her own mains want her reworked again to be more og sombra.
I don’t know why she has this power over dev team.
See it wasn’t enough to hack and kill mercy while normal, now they want to kill you when you valk too.
You valk, sombra tps near you emp virus melee mercy dead.
Well maybe if the devs literally ever tried reducing the number people would stop asking them to try it.
To be fair. Thats true. I mean I wish theyd just tell you people straight up that they do not consider anti a balance issue instead of giving that weak excuse.
But the emp changes actually makes this harder since emp will take less health away. Being hacked isnt a big issue for a mercy that already valked
So players are too stupid to think of other solutions?
i genuinely don’t know who asked for a sombra buff, between all heroes…
it would be so easy to just make a new ui for the weaker anti
