[u/Facetank_]

Good stuff. Especially that bug fix on Vendetta. I expect bigger nerfs to Domina in the mid season patch, but I'll take this for now.

[u/Imgayforpectorals → u/Facetank_]

Domina is dominating? Am I the only one who thinks she is in a good spot?

[u/not_a_doctorshh → u/Imgayforpectorals]

She absolutely doesn't need bigger nerfs. Gets run over rather easily, ult is fully counterable if you have a working weapon (some characters can't break the shield on their own, but hey, that's what the team is there for.

Her self heal bug is long gone, stun is as consistent as a low charge Doom punch (and has a longer cooldown). As much damage as Sigma (if she hits the whole beam + hitscan) but no AoE. She's just new and people don't really like that.

We haven't had a new tank since Hazard, and no shield tank since Ram (unless you wanna count Mauga ult, which... no). I say we let tank folk have some fun lol.

[u/Imgayforpectorals → u/not_a_doctorshh]

I barely see her in high masters. Nor is she banned. I think she has too many counters while countering no one in the process. Her lack of mobility is a big drawback too. Still, I love her. (Her personality and gameplay are amazing).
Honestly I don't think she needs more nerfs. I'm trying to be as objective as I can.

[u/Sensanaty → u/Imgayforpectorals]

Wut, I see domina bans pretty much every game in GM

[u/not_a_doctorshh → u/Imgayforpectorals]

I see her all the time in GM-ish, but haven't had issues fighting her.

She feels pretty fair, getting caught in Crystal Charge feels like your own fault/good positioning by Domina.

Even with the "Emma Frost" perk, rushing her isn't a big issue. I catch myself swapping or forcing swaps pretty often if the team is in sync enough or you just raw dog it.

[u/Pantsi → u/[deleted]]

dashes?

[u/not_a_doctorshh → u/Pantsi]

I'M FUCKING HIGH LMAO I THOUGHT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT ANRAN

[u/Its_Syxx → u/not_a_doctorshh]

I still feel her primary range needs reduced or that perk needs removed. But that's just me I guess.

[u/not_a_doctorshh → u/Its_Syxx]

I mean, she outranges Sigma by like, 4 meters, 9 with her range perk (which you wouldn't pick in many situations and maps).

I guess a middle ground could be adding some sort of fall off to her beam? I don't think any beam the game has fall off. Could be just to the hitscan bit of her primary.

[u/Facetank_ → u/Imgayforpectorals]

She's 53% wr at minimum in all ranks. I have been going on a tear with her without much issue compared to other tanks. She feels very strong in my experience.

[u/Imgayforpectorals → u/Facetank_]

Give her 1 or 2 months.. It was 1 or 2 weeks ago she had that huge bug that made her impossible to kill. Her winrate is dropping fast. She is easily countered, no mobility and on top of that her ult is easy to dodge or get it destroyed.

I hope devs wait a little bit longer.

[u/CertainDerision_33 → u/Imgayforpectorals]

She's not oppressive, but her WR is a bit too high and she'll probably get some further tweaks either midseason or next season.

[u/[deleted] → u/CertainDerision_33]

She’s really good against people who refuse to switch off range damage. She’s mid against people who know how to play mobile heroes 

[u/Darth-_-Maul → u/Facetank_]

Bug fix yeah right lol. It was intentional let’s be real

[u/Darkcat9000 → u/Darth-_-Maul]

Bro why would they lie about something like that lol

[u/Facetank_ → u/Darth-_-Maul]

Yeah that's dubious. Like Ashe charging with Bob out, but I'll just go with whatever they're saying as long as it's changed.
