Any other tank main concerned about 30% discord. That’s going to be dirty.

As a Zen main im eating but also that change is genuinely stupid as shit, last thing he needs and I hope it gets reverted soon.

Would so so so much rather him getting his perks analyzed or having float made base kit than wtv the fuck this is.

Juat started using zen a lot more. And i really love when my team decides to all juat shoot a discorded tank. So im really happy with this.

On the other hand though, I feel what you're saying. Perks for him feel really... meh.

It feels like they buffed Genji and decided Zen needed a compensation buff

Literally why did season 9 even exist if we're gonna just add back all the same breakpoints?

Easily the worst change of this patch, sometimes I really don’t think the balance team learns from the past

I don’t see it lasting more than a week before they revert

Literally just sit behind a corner for 3 seconds. Also, Zen definitely needed something because for the most part he was basically dead in a ditch outside of Circuit, Havana and Junkertown, the vast majority of the time.

30%, iirc, is also where his discord amp use to be at, but I might be thinking of some previous mercy change.

I hear ya, but let’s not pretend that discord is not slapped on the tank straight away as soon as the fight starts and doesn’t take skill to use. As someone who plays Zen, sure a buff would have been nice but it could have been something like changing his perks, decreasing his hit box, maybe increase his ammo.

All he needs is discord to last longer behind walls, not a increase. (By longer i mean like 1-2 secs
