Hammond Sigma Orisa dva nerfs and Rein unnecessary buff while monkey has been bad for so long. Half the roster got nerfed. Makes sense how Zarya went from mediocre to meta over night.
No. My point was that the forumers cry about her no matter how good or bad she is. And THEY can play against her effectively. But people don’t like having to put effort or gamesense into countering a particular hero. Why are we nerfing Zarya again? Let’s see we got Sigma, Ball, D.va, Orisa, Monkey, yeah let’s do Zarya now! Or we can actually balance the tank role…
In the past 6 months before rush meta started to come back. Zarya was around the same / similar pickrates to roadhog and sigma. But off an exceptionally higher winrate.
Zarya’s beam is easier to aim than any other attack besides stuff like Rein Hammer & Winston Tesla Gun I would say; the beam is so forgiving. Maybe they should reduce her max DPS a little bit (like 170 max DPS to 165 max DPS to start and see where that leaves her).
Except Zarya’s beam is even easier to aim than Moira’s ever since they nerfed Moira’s cone angle by 37%, not to mention Moira only gets 70 value per second (50 DPS + 20 hp/s self-heal) while Zarya gets a whopping 150-170 value or so per second in DPS. I’ve been wanting them to either give Moira like 10% of her cone angle back and give her 25 hp/s self-heal, or just give her 30 hp/s self-heal back instead.
Zarya has been average since double shield started. I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not. She has never been op or weak. She is the example of what a perfectly balanced character should look like
How would they make applying bubbles harder? Make them projectiles? Even if they did, doing so would mean they have to reward Zarya more or reduce the cooldown so there is more of them.
Zarya isn’t overpowered.
I mean, maybe in bronze, it’s always been easy. Zarya gaining charge has not always been easy and there have been times where you’d prefer other tanks over her due to better synergy.
The fact that you either don’t know or are willingly ignoring outside factors with other characters contributing to her power proves to me you don’t want to talk about balancing Zarya. You just want to witchhunt and nerf her. Did a Zarya save somebody from your ult?
There are plenty of heroes who can out-range Zarya and don’t need to charge their damage to melt people but that doesn’t fit your narrative of Zarya being an OP monster who’s been destroying the game for years so of course you won’t bring it up or acknowledge it.
Zarya stopped your pew pew? Halted your plans? Made you think or alter your playstyle? Was better than you? Burned your crops and poisoned your water supply?
