These are the hero stats for Bronze. Bronze!!! The argument people usually bring for not buffing wanda is: "Oh but shes really good in the lower ranks, so we cant buff her". Which, yeah she shouldnt be meta or anything, but shes at 46% in bronze, dropping to 29% in Cel+. This isnt healthy. The "noob stomper character" cant even stomp noob. She needs buffs, small rework, or something DESPERATELY. She is so bad rn.

Maybe its just a skill issue since im not that high ranked, but his secondary feels quite weak to me. Since its on a resource meter, it has a lot of downtime. And when im using it to punish grouped up enemies, it doesnt feel very impactfull. But when im using on a single target i would be better off using the primary since it does more damage.

So skill issue or does it maybe need a little buff?

Rocket is (with the sole exception of Remi LeBeau of course) the strongest support in the game currently. Im a champion rocket in celestial and im starting to see a lot of bans for our boy.

His rez, his healing output, his ability to shred tanks, how fast he gets his ult and the ult itself are all incredibly powerful. And hes relatively easy to pick up.

So im expecting nerfs in S9, question is what would we prefer as mains?

Me personally: His ult charge should be nerfed a bit, but not too much because you cannot match a sup ult with it, so i think he should still get it SLIGHTLY faster than other supports. They could also slightly lower the shield generation of damage boost on it.

his Beacon should also be nerfed HEAVILY since its not very skill expressive and just gets waaay too much value. i would prefer if they put his power into other parts of his kit. the beacon is not what makes him fun. idc put it at 70 secs or smth.

If they do all those things, i think they could give him some of mobility back instead (or first FIX THE GODDAMN WALL DASH, IM STUCK ALL THE TIME). Give him his wall climb speed back, its literally useless he cant outrun a dive anymore.

Also GRENADE! We need one.

So im a celestial support main (console) and i constantly face magiks that completly shit on the whole lobby and looking at her winrate shes at 55% winrate for cel+ with 7% pickrate so im wondering, why are some people claiming shes terrible and in desperate need of buffs? I think shes balanced pretty well, other heroes need nerfs. Ofc on pc shes worse but even then she has a positive winrate (though her pickrate is waay lower).

I have been seeing people on the jeff subreddit call it the worst balancing decision ever made and that he was absolutely not op. But honestly, he had a fundementally broken design, no matter if it was too strong or not, cuz it was awful to play against.

Old jeff had the smallest hitbox in the game for how long he wanted while being cc immune and self healing, decent damage, crazy amount of burst healing and good mobility.

I just remember feeling absolutely helpless when fighting him on support because you could just not peel him off, and as soon as he had healed up he was right back.

Imo a lot of people dont consider how fun or not fun it is to play AGAINST a character when talking about balancing (the devs too, considering every single dps release recently was way too overtuned).

Look, im not saying they balanced correctly with the changes made to him. But that they reworked him at all was absolutely justified.

People always say you cant buff widow damage because we dont want another one shot character like hawkeye. And i agree. But i do think theres a workaround for this. People hate one shots because they feel powerless against it and the counterplay is basically: do not peek this whole lane which imo is kinda frustrating and annoying to play against.

My propasal would be that she gets her widows bites which are similar to spideys web tracers. She has 5 charges for them, they are long range projectiles and they apply a bite mark. Enemies hit with bite mark take 50 damage and an addiotional 50 damage when widow hits them with her rifle the next time. Switching between widows bite and rifle would take about 0.7 secs

Why i believe this would work: When widow first has to apply a mark to hit an enemy in order to one shot them, it gives the enemy reaction time which reduces frustration, they know now that they can be one shot while marked so they choose to position accodingly. But since the mark cant be healed just like a web tracer, widow will be able to make people go from 275 to 0 with one shot.

Additonal changes i would want:

- edge dancer will be reworked because i believe its a fundemental design flaw that a poke hero cant be dived basically because she has a long stun that allow for easy headshots. Maybe a kick knockback kick that apllies a bite mark would be a good option.

- infinte sprint, only jumping costs stamina

- no rechambering, but same fire rate

- batons now apply bleed at a rate of 10/s (gives widow additional oppurtunity to headshot upclose )

- maybe an additional abilty

Im very much open to criticism, since i dont actually play her but i do feel very bad for you guys every time i come here and think its actually a fucking insult to you guys that shes been f tier since launch and she needs something desperately.

Ive seen people again and again refer to themselves as top *insert number *insert hero here. And what they are referring to is the leaderboard of rivalsmeta.com which is bollocks and straight up dumb. A lot of times matches played gives them a crazy high spot on the leaderboard when they are just diamond player (no hate to diamond players​, but you are not the tenth best Rocket player just because you are number 10).

Example: Ive had multiple discussions on the Wanda subreddit and then people are like "im top 25 wanda", and use that to justify why they know changes xy wouldnt work. Like cmon bro, there are top 25 wandas just because they played 200 games with her this season.

The whole leaderboard is stupid and should be ignored.

i bought the subscribtion cuz i only could add 3 characters to my campaign, but outside of that we dont really need for the camppaign, if i stop the subscribtion, will the characters i added be removed again, cuz i only added with the subscribition?
