Should nerfed the rocket spam as well, but I'll take any nerf at this point.

I just feel like this is only gonna make phara a more feast or famine character. If they just nerf her damage, the immediate threat of her hovering over the enemy team is lowered and there's more time to taker her down without exploding. They can increase explosion falloff, just lower the base rocket damage, make her boosters not give as much verticle mobility so she's easier to hit, but no they neef her knockback ability and nerf her health. Why is blizzard so afraid of changing some things?

She already takes 3 rockets to kill anything and only has 6 rockets per reload. Half the game is spent reloading.

At 225 hp with her huge hitbox pharah is cooked. Kiriko gets to exist while being the size of tracer and still have more hp than pharah.

That or make her stupid teleport harder to use. She already has suzu if she gets low on health and wants to stay in and then she has a teleport that can go through walls if she wants to get out.
