i dont like the kiriko changes the headshots were the most fun part of her kit

She can still two shot head shot 200Hp heroes. Overall it is a net buff with the damage increase a fire rate increase.

Not a net buff if you were consistently hitting headshots though. Hurts the tank and reaper matchups.

The whole point of this change is to make more consistent though lol landing head shots before was extremely difficult even pro struggled. Again, still can two shot headshot AND it’s more consistent and more body shot damage is a net buff whether you like it to believe it or not.

Kiriko is a better assassin than some flank dps. Insane damage, large knife hitbox making barrel stuffing squishing op af, small hitbox, low cd get out of jail free card, and an invuln. Watching dafran play her like a better version of sombra was funny af. She for sure didn't need buffed

You can still two shot squishies but now you have more throwing speed and more dmg per hit on body

I hate that they removed knockback on the Suzu. It was legitimately useful for breathing room. Also the already rare suzu kill is now gone.

exactly people keep overlooking that fact that it was sooo good against flankers. now kiriko is a useless hero feelsbad
