what if the healing orb would do a Aoe heal From the Target being heal from the orb be a small amount of Aoe heals
Ok, well then the discord orb would have to be nerfed. Zenyatta’s niche has always been his discord orb giving his entire team access to more damage as a basic ability
What if you let the game play for you?
I like Zen’s low heal cap. Much like with Lucio, it forces teams to either be more aware of their positioning, or to die over and over.
“If you do not change your direction, you may end up where you’re headed.” 
I’ve suggested it before, but I think reworking discord orb to instead steal a portion of healing its target receives and transferring it to his healing orb would be a good idea.

Zen is trash but not because he has low healing. Discord is just useless now, he is a floating duck with no ability to defend himself besides outskilling a flanker who can just teleport away whenever they realise they got skill diffed.
Oh and also the fact dive is stronger than ever with 10,000hp tanks jumping on you every 3.5 seconds.
Buffing his healing orb ain’t gonna change a thing.
Giving Zen AoE healing doesn’t sound that great. I rather not have another healer with AoE healing.
But i must say Zen feels alot more clunky with this whole discord nerf.
I think what they should do is apply discord orb instant again. But give the increased damage buff only to Zen and not his teammates.
No, we need less AOE healing, not more.
Zen is a support in the truest sense of the word his healing is secondary to his main value which is discord and his high damage.
Zen’s problem is supports being stronger than him, he’s actually really fine if you,re capable of 1:1 DPS/heals.
That would be a massive nerf to Zen. It’s like having a mercy who has 0 mobility and low healing
did we learn nothing at all over the years?
The last thing this game needs is more AoE healing, idgaf HOW little it is.
But with scary damage output that doesn’t feel so clunky like it does feels now.
And it might even be more bearable for tanks because atleast you know that not the entire enemy team is pounding with increased damage on you while discord orb is on you.
1.25x damage is not enough compensation for 0 mobility.
The community whined and got discord on a 7 second cooldown for targets and the fact it falls off after 1.5 secs.
And now he is being labeled trash. Good job.
Weird and needless little idea. Im of the mind that snap kick needs to be removed entirely, much less that this hero needs buffs.
Im so tired of dog piss Blizzard giving everyone the answer to their own weakness. Zen should have no counterplay to a dive from ANY hero in any circumstance except for his own mechanical talent.
Its not even terribly useful, its just a weird and terrible idea.
The only buff that would be sensible to his healing, is that the orb could do an extra 10hp every time zen lands a headshot.
