Zarya Broken on Total Mayhem

Is it just me? Or does total mayhem seems completely unplayable right now? I understand that it it’s supposed to be chaotic… but god damn, Zarya is completely broken there. You can just sit on point with bubble infinitely and make those game EXTREMELY LONGER than usual :frowning: . At least make the bubble cool down just a tad longer on that game mode Blizzard :v .

It’s not even that they’re “sweaty”, just trolling to ruin a mode. Most Zarya’s aren’t even trying to kill anyone or get anything.

Yeah it’s usually a silent agreement that no one plays Zarya but there’s always that poor soul that absolutely needs a W and goes her on defense. If Bastion and Torb were removed for being busted then Zarya should be from TM

they specifically stated they nerf her in this mode. read the blogs

It’s absolutely broken, and utterly toxic. Every game ends up with a Zarya exploiting and abusing the broken gameplay mechanic, and then there’s TWO Zaryas staring at each other while bubbling themselves and the payload is stalled forever until one team coordinates ults or a Rein charges her off.

Mayhem has become the worst, most toxic mode because right now, the current state of Zarya is enabling every troll, cheater, and sweaty exploiter to live out their fantasies of being invulnerable due to a developer oversight.

Mayhem was a mistake in general. They should have just given everyone double HP only and stopped it at there. Mayhem has never been fun. Back in OW1 it was constant Winston bubbles. Now it’s Zarya bubbles. Hopefully we can go back to constant Winston bubbles. So good.

Agreed. Normally it is the ones that are bad that play Zar.

I mean it’s Total Mayhem…everyone is broken af in that mode :rofl:
I just think that mode highlights those a little overtuned in norms (Zarya), but in reality everyone is insane in that mode, plus it’s an arcade mode so I doubt they’ll focus on it much tbh

There’s broken… and there’s game-breaking. Zarya in her current state is game-breaking and being abused to ruin the experience for everyone on both teams.

yea it literally ruins the entire mode.
