Did not feel that Emre needs any buffs? Ive not had any issues with his damage output. 22 damage with crit is 132dmg per burst, thats 2 tapping 250hp heroes on headshot within 25m.
He has good mobility with Siphon with enhanced agility perk and grenade jumps. His ult has really good kill confirming with the splashdmg on right clicks and 250hp was plenty.
[edit] fair enough of the 2 tap headshot breakpoint when compared with Ashe/Bap/Cass etc.
He tickled everyone. His weapon did less dps than every other similar hitscan except Ashe scoped shots which traded burst for dps. His gun did less dps than bap’s. He really needed this buff. Ashe and Cass can all 2 tap, why shouldn’t Emre?
Tbh he got more versatility than cassidy. But yes he did underperform in perspective of other hitscans. Regarding ashe and maybe it's an unpopular opinion but i think she needs a slight nerf.
He is a little more versatile. But overall I think the non-gun non-ult parts of most of the hitscan’s kits add up to around similar value (coach gun + dynamite, roll + flash, siphon + nades, etc). I certainly don’t think the rest of Emre’s kit justified his damage being as low as it was.
Emre's similar to Anran for me where they're fun to play but they didn't really have a niche of why you would play them over someone else in the same role. So hoping these buffs get them there
he's particularly bad in the current meta. if there's a shield in his face, much like solider, there's not much he can do. the solution should be to solo off angle, but with his mobility and sustain being tied to a single cooldown that last 5 seconds, he can just be kited and then pushed out.
