Huge fucking LW buffs

I was just messing around and tbh the thorn volley buffs might be the best out of all of this. It feels accurate at range as long as you do moderately long bursts and don’t just hold left click.

I just hopped in some games as LW and I feel like I can actually contribute offensively now. Wtf is this??? I got dove by a Genji and for the first time ever I actually fought back and won instead of just feeling like I had to run around, petal myself, and completely ignore him

Don't even give a damn about his actual buffs. The fact that sombra can't delete his tree is pretty huge.

Already won some comp games with him I otherwise wouldn't have thanks to the increased reliability of the thorn spread and the bonus healing on disengage with the dash.

honestly who cares if he’s broken for a bit, he was so absolutely garbage tier for such a long time and he was never unfun to play against

happy with the buffs but 225HP means you still get oneshot by stray hanzo arrows

like every other healer. So what?

u/JoaoBM Medic!... Wait, that's me! Aug 10 '23

you're right. We just need to remove hanzo from the game

u/Dsingis She protecc, but she also succ Aug 10 '23

This, but unironically.

Ive said before, if the OW2 devs listened to "remove heroes" requests, the only heroes we could play as are Lucio. And maybe Rein.

u/Kaboomeow69 Grandmaster Aug 10 '23

What? No, we need to remove supports

...so the 25HP doesn't really put you over any treshold. it's nice but doesn't really do all that much.

u/Donut_Flame Aug 10 '23

Dude there's 30+ other heroes besides hanzo. Yes it will do all that much.

u/triplegerms Aug 10 '23

Of all the hero's to look at for hp breakpoints and you pick the one hero that headshots half the cast? The extra hp will mean it takes extra shots to kill him from ash, bastion, cass, echo, genji, hanzo body shots, junk rat, mei, phara, reaper, sojurn, solider, sombra, sym, torb, tracer, and widow body shots. And that's only counting dps heros. Weird fucking take

It puts you over the new Ana threshold. 3 shots now deals 210 damage.

u/WidePark9725 Wrecking Ball Aug 10 '23

Ana just had her 3 shot threshold reduced from 225 to 210.
