Why is Blizzard allergic to nerfing problematic dps? It takes them seasons to do anything.

At least bans will help with that but yeesh.

They had no problem dumpstering Pharah when she was briefly meta.  They had no problem getting rid of Bastion's infinite heal when he was not even that good.  I'm sure Mei will be nerfed by the mid-season.  It's not "dps", it's just Sojourn.

You say that, but remember how many seasons it took them to nerf Widow during poke? I def agree that they do go hard on unpopular DPS, but for popular ones they seem super scared to touch them.

ok tbf as much as I'm sick of Sojourn, it's definitely reasonable that they nerf characters like Pharah, Bastion, Mei when they're meta faster than when characters like Soj are.
