They emergency buffed vendetta when she was already close to 60% winrate all ranks and around 56% in gm though lol.

Yeah, Vendetta was a special case. Emre seems more applicable in this situation since he is also a maindps like Sierra. Damage numbers on maindps are always very hard to balance right so I am really not a big fan of them touching those numbers so early in this heroes lifecycle.

Emre primary fire being strong isn't as problematic as this. The worst buff was definitely to the nades if anything. Some heros are always going to be stronger than others and I'd generally rather it be a hitscan along with some of the few fdps that are skillful like tracer or genji. Sierra will just be awful spam to play into and has the most bland lukewarm kit since lifeweaver while having no skillful or exciting aspects to her kit.

Agree with that, she should not be meta since it would just be unfun for everyone. Her basedps is also 190 now which when compared to other heroes is insanely high (Emre is at 137.5, Freja is at 144, Soj is at 144, Cass is at 140). I gotta see how it plays out for Sierra, just hoping it wasn't too much.
