She is basically dps with 2x more health. Feels like better Symmetra. More range, more damage, more survivability. Also gaining charge isnt that hard. If it was she wouldnt be that popular and strong. Even she is very popular in owl.
Nerf her offensive capabilities somewhat. Less range or less damage. Maybe revert charge drain buff. Secondary fire nerf wasnt enough.
Decrease total ultimate charge to compensate the nerf.

Is this your detailed counter argument? Seems worthless.

The only way she gets damage is if you shoot her bubbles. Dont shoot them and shes powerless.

At least im trying to prove my points. Not lazy like you.

Personally i think she deals a bit too much damage
Id nerf her damage but increase her tanking capabilities so shes more of a tank rather than a fat dps

She’s one of the more balanced characters in game, also her high survivability comes with very weak mobility. Say what you want about her range but if you play the game of spacing against Zarya more times then not you’ll probably win depending on who you play.
also given she uses shield instead of armor she is much lighter then most tanks which is where her bruiser appeal comes along. She puts out damage but outside of her bubble she is very light in terms of tankiness.
Instead of asking for nerfs you could always look up her counters you know

Ok you want me to prove my point. Here it is, Zarya is one of the tanks that NEEDS a teammate in order to fully charge herself. If she has a high charge, then that means that she was either mindful of incoming attacks or you and your team just mindlessly shot at the giant pink bubble.
You say getting a charge is easy, well let it be known that the amount of game sense needed is quite a lot. If you waste a bubble, then that can easily mean death to you.
You can call me lazy for not wanting to put an argument, but here is the thing. I have played this game since release, I have carried games as Zarya. I know what I’m talking about when I said “No”, she is fine where she is. If you really, truly, absolutely are having trouble with her, then how bout using heroes that can either outrange her or maybe using Reaper as he easily kills her and can avoid feeding her too much of she uses a bubble.
If you wanna keep arguing, then bring it. Prove me wrong that she actually needs a nerf rather than you just being salty about getting killed by her.

Did you also forget a press Q ultimate that requires you to run Zen or Lucio or you lose?

No. She doesnt need to be nerfed.
Just cause you dont like her & are crying about her doesnt make her to need one.
Also she is popular in owl cause 3-3 meta is used in there atm.
And owl has their owl strats & teamwork which makes Zarya having a stronger ult combos, etc.
You cant compare owl to ranked cause these 2 are completely different things buddy.
She is fine. Period.

Yeah she feels like a better Symmetra but that’s because Symmetra is undpowered not because Zarya is OP. Keep in mind she has no mobility and is just a victim of the current meta like Brig. No need to unnecessarily gut two heroes that are not individually overpowered. Let’s buff the stinky ones instead.

Define “increase her tanking abilities.” Im curious how you think they could do that when her kit fully relies on taking damage with bubbles and dishing it out. I don’t quite see how they can improve her tanking abilities when bubbles are her only ability.
Like
- more hp on bubbles
- bubbles that last longer
- two bubble charges
- less bubble cooldown
Stuff like that (of course not all together)
If this was even remotely a good argument, Zarya wouldn’t be used in any rank above diamond, yet she is the most picked off tank. Care to explain that logic?

Even at the pro level, it is not considered an effective strategy to avoid shooting the bubbles.

She would need both abilities here in order for the first one to be useful. With how short her bubble lasts it is hardly ever destroyed in the first place.
As in two per or one for teammate and two self? Either way with additional bubbles Zarya wont have to be as smart about whrn to use her bubble and can keep her full charge at a constant rate. Thats a “careful what you wish for” idea in she may stay fully charged at all times, even with lowered damage.
Not a bad suggestion.
How much would you suggest toning down her damage anyways?
Those bubbles will be shot because of messy environment of this game. Its not that hard to bubble charging Rein or Winston. Or teammate who is under attack. You will get charge no matter what.
You are exaggerating. Its not rocket science.
So do i. Im not a Zarya OTP but i played against her a lot.
I didnt ask for tips. I never said she is unbeatable. She just needs slight nerf to her offensive capabilities.
Who said im salty because im getting killed by her?
Leave your ego aside and learn to show some respect. Not everyone cries about nerfs whenever get killed by any hero.

She really needs at least a partial revert of the buff she got to her charge retention rate. A good Zarya never loses meaningful charge.
