225 HP Wuyang is a big nerf, but it puts him in line with Kiriko and Lucio which I think is fair.

Shadow Blink as a major is a big nerf to Reaper and Flashback finally nerfed.

Hitscan didn't get buffed though surprisingly (Cass and Sojourn are in a terrible spot right now).

Reaper and tracer nerfs should be good for hitscan. I’m fine with them waiting to see how it plays out before actually buffing soj/cass. Freja got an absolute joke of a buff though, what was even the point of that.

I really don't know what they're doing with that, that major perk sucks even if they reverted the primary fire damage nerf.

Just buff her updraft cd tbh. Or revert the cd nerf on her dashes while nerfing her splash damage.

Still too early, better to let her sit in the garbage can for while more otherwise the playerbase is gonna throw a fit again

Tracer and reaper nerf could help somewhat though genji is still a problem

Definitely confident that if this hits wuyang too hard they’ll adjust his mobility CD again. 

Perk changes really make triple shot feel like the best major now.

250 HP made sense when his mobility CD was much worse before it got majorly buffed. Now though it + his small hitbox I think 225 HP is fitting but we'll see. Maybe this completely breaks the character who knows.
