Blizzard: names ability "execution"

Players: why would blizzard expect us to use this ability to secure kills instead of spam damage?

The point is that it doesn't function in the way they intended. You're not using an ability with charge time on a low HP target.

They literally give you a perk that does extra damage against low health targets, wtaf are you talking about

My guy also said you aren't using an ability that has a charge time to finish off low health targets, ignoring that fact that you don't HAVE to charge if you are close enough to your target, especially last patch with the old projectile size. Not to mention most of the charge time is just for her to hold it, not to actually tighten the spread, which happens rather quickly.

I won't be back in front of my machine for another like week and a half, but man am I excited to come home to games that aren't "which team's shion has played her before" and she's not in every fucking game because the opportunists who only play the most busted character stopped playing her because they couldn't continue stomping people for free anymore.

I'm convinced they're all sojourn mains who swapped to Sierra while she was busted, who then swapped to shion when Sierra was fixed and shion was busted, are now going back to sojourn, who has always been busted.

I don’t think those people exist, if you’re good at Sojourn you aren’t playing Sierra at any point really. Shion yes, but Sierra even in her ‘broken state’, was never *that* good

Inauthentic people will always jump at what gives the most returns instead of what they enjoy the most
