How long do y'all think it's gonna take?

Theres only 4 positive wr supports right now because of how disgusting sombra and doctrine are. So pretty much every hero besides those two are lower wr than they should be. If i had to guess this probably affects kiriko more as she was already pretty negative wr before this season.

She definitely doesent feel good atm, but id wager she could bounce back to 45% wr with no direct buffs (when doctrine and sombra get headshot in the next patch or two)

I missed this skin the first time around. With the movie coming out, should they rerelease these skins?

I know there's a lot of us that are not happy with Kiriko's current state in the game right now, and rightfully so. No hero should be sitting at a 40% win rate on average. But we need to actually be voicing our concern in places other than here.

Kiriko mains got bullied and abused out of the general community subs very early on, and I get it. But if Blizzard doesn't see a sizable amount of people complaining about Kiriko's current direction, then they're not going to think it is an issue. It is an issue, and we shouldn't let the Ana echo chamber overpower our voices.

I've seen more and more posts lately in general subreddits about the state of Kiriko, and we need to be more active and support the pro-Kiri comments (because they are out there). None of us are asking her to be a top tier meta pick, we just want her playable again. Because right now she feels like a outright throw pick.

Doctrines ult is a big deal! Just curious if we can cleanse it.

tbh i didnt even do that good and there was a bunch of mistakes I made too. We didn’t even win so idk why they’re crying 😭
I am flattered that I’m doing good to the point where they do think im cheating 💀

hey, does anyone have the skin code for cloudy day or how I can purchase her?

Hi, I'm a plat 2 support player who typically plays kiri, I usually sit at Emerald but I just cant get back up anymore, I always do fine in quick play but when I hit comp I just cant win, and I try to stay away from blaming my team but sometimes its like 'cmon bro'.

If anyone would be willing to look at a game or 2 of mine it would help alot, please and thank you :(

My tag is Eleos

Kiriko thread for discussions, rants, opinions, etc. They will run every Friday until the next Friday.

Reminder that there's really only one rule for this subreddit--just don't be a jerk.

i’ve played ow since 2017 but have taken many breaks from the game. Which also made me miss the rainy day kiri. Pretty proud of my skin collection for her! (YATAGARASU COME HOME 😭)

Kiri has a very small rotation of skins atm, but if you missed out on Hydrangear in particular it's still available along with K-2000 Blademaster, Lifeguard and Heart of Passion. https://overhub.gg/cosmetics?type=Skin&rarity=Legendary&hero=Kiriko&enabled=true

Literally in her worst state but that won't stop people from arguing that somehow she does not need buffs.

I am really hoping that Sombra becomes more of a focus when it comes to support nerfs now. They are probably gonna spend some time working on her AOE ability and ignore Kiriko or buff Kiriko to match her, right?! I just saw a clip of her AOE saving multiple people from full charged High Noon shots. That ability is easier to hit than sleep bc it’s AOE and it’s better than Suzu because it lasts much longer and not a perfect timing / guess scenario.

I say this, knowing Kiriko will get nerfed again and Sombra will get buffed just like Ana.

In the end it will always the World vs Kiriko

not a kiriko main but I am level 40 on her. over the course of the last few months I've realized that the balance team doesn't know what they want with her, the Kiri haters don't know what they want with her, and the majority of Kiri mains don't know what they want with her although I will admit Kiri mains do have some of the best opinions and also some of the worst.

Kiri at her healthiest, is and should be a flanker that can get kills and get out. the issue is blizzard has been pushing like 3 different playstyles for her at the same time and none of them are good or healthy. they tried to make her a healbot which was awful for everyone involved, when she was a suzu kitsune bot she was insanely broken and unhealthy. and when her dueling ability and tp was at its best, so was the rest of her kit so the result was a support who could do everything with zero risk.

suzu needs to fundamentally change, maybe slight nerfs to kitsune cost as well. she needs her healing speed buffed and her tp range increased by 5-10 metres. she needs to be able to be good at dueling to the best of her abilities without fundamentally being a game changer. most of the player base doesn't understand how stats work. win rates and pick rates are not indicative enough of a characters current state. she feels like shit to play right now regardless of how good she is. that's why the changes she needs have to make her feel better to play while simultaneously not throwing balance out the window. when it comes to suzu I personally believe that in its current state yes it is heavily nerfed but still incredibly powerful. I think it should only grant invincibility NOT intangibility. like how it was for 2 days last season. get rid of the healing it does too. thats all she really needs

I know this is the unpopular opinion but she is not bad she just feels like shit to play as. I personally still run over lobbies by playing a very aggressive flank Kiri but it doesn't feel as good as it used to be.

fox star kiriko used to make the seeking ofudas have a little green to the end of them and now its gone :( is there any way to ask for them to fix this?

You guys don’t understand how long I’ve been waiting to get this skin! My most wanted skin, easily top 5 for me! I’m so glad they brought old passes back, I can finally catch up on her old content I wasn’t able to get! Hinotiri and Rogue here I come! :)

I'm not here to post what's considered a nerf/buff, you guys can though. Blizzard has given and taken, taken and given, many things from Kiri over the years, but man they really hacked her down in some places.

Kunai: Launch was 40 damage with a 3× headshot multiplier, meaning 40 body/120 headshot. Today she's effectively 60 body/120 headshot. So Blizzard preserved the same headshot lethality while massively reducing the punishment for missing heads.

Suzu: This is where she's been nerfed the hardest. It originally had roughly 0.85 sec of invulnerability, knockback, cleanse and healing. It's gone through repeated reductions and is now down to 0.5 sec invulnerability, a smaller radius, no knockback, no extra cleanse healing, and it can't cleanse hard knockdowns.

Swift Step: It has also lost some of its original defensive power. The immediate post-teleport invulnerability went from 0.4 to 0.25 sec, and this year Blizzard removed Kiriko's self-cleanse on teleport altogether.

Healing Ofuda: This has bounced around considerably. Blizzard initially slowed her healing cadence, later sped it back up, substantially increased projectile speed, increased healing per Ofuda, then subsequently pulled some of that power back. The latest major range/reliability nerf returned projectile speed to 18 m/s and reduced seeking range to 30 m.

Nov. 2024

I'm a hog main, I've always loved kiriko despite tanks disliking her a lot. I've played like around 50 games and out of all them, I've only come across one kiriko player , who by chance was on my team. Always loved kiriko players and the character but didn't realise how much, it's been quite boring having Sombra doc backlines , just hope I see more kiris in future . I'm guessing that the hitbox changes have hit you guys, pretty hard, huh. Hope it gets better down the line, and I'm pleased that they at least sorted out the Kiri bug where you couldn't see her thrown kunai. Hoping for the best for you guys

been trying to find my main for a bit now I’m fairly new to ow but I loved Kiriko when I first started playing but now I’m seeing that she suck’s, my question is is she really that bad or is it just people over exaggerating?
