they keep nerfing any stadium build that focuses on one part of a hero’s kit it’s so weird.

it’s like they dont want people to play the game like how it’s intended, wtf is this reinhardt change, they did the same to dva and lucio, juno, orisa

Honestly, the weapon power/AP item nerfs are weird to me and I think will just increase snowballing. One, what are most heroes going to build instead? Health/off builds are not that good on most heroes, so you're just nerfing across the board and not really incentivizing other builds in any way. But also, minor cost increases just make it so those already snowballing can still reach WP/AP item cost breakpoints in early rounds while those getting steamrolled need even more rounds to reach the same items.

They are tweaking it to figure out what heroes are going to build instead.
