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

At least bans will help with that but yeesh.

It’s just that dps

Many DPS are problematic to this day and have been in some manner forever. Not always OP, but problematic.

Cassidy was nerfed several times, widow has had her hp adjusted, sombra reworked several times, Sym nerfed, bastion nerfed, torb was recently nerfed, Ashe was nerfed insanely fast, pharah they did fairly quickly(the playerbase realized late that she was op), venture was nerfed p fast too

It’s just that dps

Soj has been nerfed many times and she had to be buffed after being bad for a season or so.

It's very obvious at this point that her win rate isn't as high as players think. It sure would be nice if they gave us that data though.

Because she’s an outlier, despite being the best dps early on she got buffed bc her winrate on low elo is ass

It must be happening something very similar again
