That is how power levels work. If they shift downwards, whatever was not shifted will be powerful in comparison.
Except Sigma.
Now you’re just mentioning all downsides of one, and all upsides of the other. But Graviton cannot be stunned out of. It’s an instant cast. Flux however can be, with a very long window. Flux also gives enemies a bit of time to escape the AoE. Dva and Sigma eating a Graviton is rather hit or miss as the ult happens instantly. And while shields block the trajectory of Graviton, they do not stop the ult.
Its good for more tanks to be meta. Maybe the ExC changes on them will help more. I think the Orisa one is a weapon revert but i could be wrong. Sigma is still a safe pick in gold and im glad Hammond is a more viable pick too.
Tired of people demanding to trash other tanks/supports only because they are working as intended. How about we balance the other tanks around Zarya to make them great again. Do you really want to ruin the last good off tank? (The same goes for Ana btw.)
If you want to scale down all tanks, then you have to do the same with all viable supports and dps as well or else you’ll have a very bad game experience.
It has more to do with map dependent meta.
On maps with a lot of high ground DVa is preffered and maps with little high ground Zarya is more preferred.
DVa is not in a bad spot, the contrary is true, she is in a good spot
Honestly zarya is worse everywhere, she does less tanking and is actually a detriment as she becomes an easy dive target when she uses personal, you have to play extremely fast with her and fights last too long rn
Not really.
Something powerful is powerful regarding of the context.
The comparisons dont tell if something is “broken” or not, it only says what does work well or doesnt in a certain place. A hero that can one shot more than half the cast IS powerful, regarding of the meta or context. Zarya isnt that hero for example.
Just because you nerf all tanks and zarya was always “decent” or a good pick, doesnt make her broken or OP. She just doesnt walk out of the spawn and all Widows, Ashes, Soldiers, Reapers etc cower in fear.
There is NO issue with Zarya. Thats the fact here.
I like how they nerfed most of the other tanks, whilst she was the one enabling them. Oh the irony. Not to mention, seeing both good and bad Zarya players running around with 80 charge throughout the entire game.
one of which was introduced quite “recently” in ow history
