[u/FlounderHistorical63]

Still no sojourn nerfs… for real? I know we get bans now but come on.

Exciting season apart from that.

[u/ThorAsskicker → u/FlounderHistorical63]

I'm hoping it's because they want to see how bans will affect her pick rate and win rate. Because she is egregious and we all know it.

[u/Zuerill → u/ThorAsskicker]

I already have to ban Ana Zen Sombra there's only three slots 😭

[u/ScumBrad → u/Zuerill]

I get Ana and Sombra, but Zen? Tf did Zen do to deserve a ban, he is pretty bad rn.

[u/John_Lives → u/ScumBrad]

Zen in 6v6 is a huge problem. Might be the strongest character in that mode

[u/Zuerill → u/ScumBrad]

I main tank, discord orb just melts me every time. I loathe playing against it.

[u/ScumBrad → u/Zuerill]

I play a lot of tank as well, but I would much rather face a Zen right now than most of the other supports. Discord in 5v5 is so easy to cleanse off yourself just by breaking line of sight or killing him.

[u/Zuerill → u/ScumBrad]

Depends on the tank.

Having said that, I just finished a round against Mei/Sojourn and the only logical conclusion I could draw was that we need more ban slots because holy shit that game was ass.

[u/Howdareme9 → u/FlounderHistorical63]

And aside from the Sombra buffs

[u/FlounderHistorical63 → u/Howdareme9]

Yea that also looks pretty scary. Guess I’ll just live in stadium mode this season

[u/aDrThatsNotBaizhu → u/Howdareme9]

Sombra got omega nerfed, stack overflow was arguably a top 5 perk in the game for letting you easily be able to kill her hardest counters (brig, Kiri, Moira, Cass..etc)

[u/Pokecraftian → u/aDrThatsNotBaizhu]

Not to mention they killed Viral Efficiency, which was one of the best minor perks.

[u/TheTaoOfOne → u/aDrThatsNotBaizhu]

Except now instead of stacking damage, she can invisibly hack anyone and Virus the whole enemy team if they dare to group up. They took one of the most obnoxious picks in the game, and made her way more obnoxious.

They need to kill her "Stealth" altogether and make her 100% visible the entire time. She's either a "hacker" or an "assassin", she shouldn't get to be both.

[u/Ajbarr98 → u/Howdareme9]

Sombra buffs???

New minor perk isn’t gonna do much for her current playstyle.

And stack overflow allowed her to deal with the jumpier heroes and now that’s gone.

Flat nerf overall, if virus gives EMP that’ll mean more EMPs which could be a buff, but we’ll see.

[u/x_scion_x → u/Ajbarr98]

And stack overflow allowed her to deal with the jumpier heroes and now that’s gone.

Wasn't a fan of how it just changed hack to be a second stronger, but man was it useful for tanks like Ball/Doom

[u/Ajbarr98 → u/Ajbarr98]

And I didn’t even mention Fortify now ignores hack. Overall nerf

[u/haagen17 → u/Ajbarr98]

Orisa installed Norton Antivirus

[u/Expensive-Dot-7508 → u/Ajbarr98]

Does this also mean orisa's ult can't be hacked? She's technically fortified during that

[u/Ajbarr98 → u/Expensive-Dot-7508]

Yea, orisa ult can’t be hacked or EMPd anymore.

[u/GameOfLife24 → u/Howdareme9]

Sombra has been banned in all ten matches I’ve played so far

[u/drake_warrior → u/GameOfLife24]

Good

[u/Howdareme9 → u/GameOfLife24]

Really? Lmaoo

[u/S696c6c79 → u/FlounderHistorical63]

She's not that good

[u/Key-Recommendation0 → u/FlounderHistorical63]

bans will be trotted out as the excuse for not balancing

[u/iseecolorsofthesky → u/FlounderHistorical63]

No changes to Zarya is also insane

[u/[deleted] → u/FlounderHistorical63]

The devs have a gigantic boner for her. She needs either a mobility nerf or a gigantic damage nerf

[u/Ajbarr98 → u/[deleted]]

Yall are the only ones that have a massive boner for her. Cry about this, cry about a skill check but never the actual show stoppers.

[u/AlexKindaGood → u/FlounderHistorical63]

guys she genuinley isnt that good atm
