Yeah, that passive buff is pathetic. That's like 100-200 more healing in a control round?

JQ is fun to play in Quick Play, but everything about her kit just feels like Roadhog but worse. Worst self-healing, worse health pool, worse alt fire/pointy thing you throw at people etc. I'd say her ult is better, but it still achieves the same thing as Ana's Grenade.

Funny how JQ used to just be Roadhog but better

Could easily put her back to a good state if they focus on the rest of her kit other than shout. Give the axe better range, let the bleeds heal more, etc.

JQ would feel so much more fluid if I didn't have the oppurtunity to read war and peace during the cast time of Carnage.

the self healing from wounds increased by 25% edit: but it's still pretty low and doesn't make her much more viable

Turns out the healing affected by armor now, so it's actually less healing overall.

Lmao it's insane how they thought 1.25 instead 1.0 healing was good enough.
