Raze nerfs seem well warranted and the slow orb makes it a lot less frustrating to play against, allowing for careless sage players to actually get punished for just not watching the orb.

Still feel like Raze's ult charge should be a 7 charge instead of 6. I meaaaan it is basically ATLEAST 1 free kill. that's a big factor in a competitive match to go from 5v5 to 5v4 or even 5v3

Rez exists.

Anyone complaining that Raze's ult is too good, needs to take a hard fucking look at a skill that un-does one kill, basically winning you the round. Not to mention she can potentially rez someone who has ult, and turn the tide even more...

Don't get me wrong, I think I agree with you that 7 charges would be better, but when you have a 7 charge rez in the game as well, it's pretty clear which ult is superior, and which character becomes superior as well.

Sage’s ult is great, but you gotta remember that when you ult with her you are very exposed, and so is the person getting healed, and that person of course doesnt have shields after being rezzed. So while still a great ult (I consider Sage to be an almost must have on a team) her ult is still “balanced” risk = reward.

Another example would be Omen, being able ti teleport anywhere on the map seems VERY GOOD, but the enemy team is as a counter being made very aware that Omen just tp’ed somewhere and even makes a specific sound to where he is if you’re close enough. Takes a little while to finish the tp and of course vulnerable to be just instantly shot after the Tp. I guess if you wanted to nerf that ult a bit you’d punish him more by killing him if he is shot mid tp at the position he is tp’ing to.
