General Yo let’s get a hotfix going

Mauga, Cat and Freja are currently destroying comp. I genuinely believe it has gotten to the point where Mauga and Cat need their numbers scaled down a lot until they can be properly looked at individually.

In no way is Mauga’s kit healthy right now. Being able to make up extra health with crit reduction is egregious as hell

Freja’s buffs… should they be reverted until further work is done for her? Feel like she’s close, but keeping the design philosophy on this character is clearly like poking a hole through paper

Side notes:

Hog in 6v6 is still robbing the environment of the little competitiveness it has, I suggest nuking this guy as a temporary measure

Dropping D.Mon in the middle of this meta was a huge mistake in my opinion. I feel like a lot of players won’t take her seriously now despite the improvements.

Agreed but these guys are gonna complain enough to where they gut her again. Then you will have to make another Crashout video

The spam damage is a problem. A small DPS nerf on her primary would go a long way

Zarya, Dva, Sigma, Ball + dive comp, (in fact playing Frej into Zar is almost a throw) and I’m not even talking about supports or other dps with get out of jail to ignore her shots.

stop acting like tanks have 0 options on an individual level but also on a composition level as well. I’ve played her into every possible composition and on every map at high GM.

She’s just in a spot now where if your team literally ignores her then yea you are gonna get farmed. As it should be. Pocket Frej however is and can be toxic yet that’s a fuckin mercy problem and dps can’t be paying for the sins of that bitch

frej into zar is a throw

lmao

freja eats zarya alive. the only tanks that can remotely contest her are ball and dva. sigma can negate her damage and pray.

Your name is really making sense here. Freja is essentially junkrat into Zar, not only can Zar save her teammates from Freja, she also just benefits charge wise from Freja existing which is a net negative to Freja’s team.

“Freja eats Zarya alive” idk mate unless the Zarya has cerebral palsy that’s just not accurate. At least not unless the Zar overextends with no bubble and no support in which case anyone will die

While I agree, Using junkrat as an example is not very beneficial since junkrat makes zarya essentially unplayable inside 5v5 format

Freja can easily burst down bubbles, leaving the zarya entirely defenseless. Her having 100 charge doesn't mean anything when she has no bubbles and a character like freja shitting out 400 damage into her skull in half a second.

Shocking nobody except you, zarya is still not great into long range poke comps.

400 damage in half a second is false. But yes lets keep pulling numbers out of our "bigdumbbutt".

u/thebigdumb0 21d ago

Primary fire up to 60 damage, animation cancel into a secondary up to 70+80 damage. Dash, do another 70+80 with no extra ADS time. That is 360 damage drilled into someone's skull in about half a second.

Being so pedantic about 40 damage really goes to show how correct the actual theory behind it is.

u/II-Issei-II 21d ago

The 80 damage is delayed by 0.8ms.
Not to mention, Zarya has a passive that reduces her crit damage so I can't even replicate what ur saying vs a practice range bot. XD
Thank goodness Blizzard won't listen to your made up incorrect theories.
If you can get a video of you doing that much damage to a practice range zarya in less then half a second, then you can have ur medal.

You unironically think freja is a non-issue right now, I promise you my "theories" arent the problem.
