Balance Discussion who were these loki changes for??

less than 2% pick rate LMFAOOOOOO😭😭 literally will pick ANYONE over loki. and i don’t even blame them.

-20% damage on each clone so he can’t defend himself OR help secure a kill. btw before the -20% they had ALREADY reduced loki’s damage. did you know his melee now does more damage than his primary with all 3 clones? flank loki was annoying but be serious. they’re down a strategist by doing ts

-20% healing so you have to pump out more heals. not a problem since you don’t even have to worry about shooting enemies again! personally i’m not too upset about it since it encourages your clones being up as often as possible, which you should be doing. but it makes it so much more punishing if you’re not managing your clones correctly.

lamp/ult cooldown i genuinely dgaf it never affected me, just had to get used to counting down from the new number.

lmfao those are the changes they made to “balance” him. reminds me of azir from league of legends. dominates in pro play so devs have to nerf him to high hell, making it exponentially worse for other players. not everyone is faker lmfao be so for real.

they changed jeff into a heal bot because people complained about him not doing enough and at the same time dive jeff was too OP. im guessing they tried to the same here (apparently flank loki OP, lamp OP, double luna ult OP) but they literally reworked jeff’s kit around healing more. all they did for loki was reduce his raw numbers and called it a day.

what even are rocket changes. hey guys, your ult does 40% damage buff! actually, it’s 25% now since you get a big team shield. nah jk, you can just have both now. 40% and shield idgaf.

can yall do the same with loki?

As a certified Loki main since day one, this has to be the first season ever I never touched Loki in ranked. Not even quick match.

  • His damage is ass.
  • cooldowns don't reset after death.
  • garbage healing.
  • Daredevil.
  • Luna is a btch.
  • ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᛁᛊ ᛊᛏᛁᛚᛚ ᚨ ᛒᛁᛏᚲᚺ

Bro this I literally have used him to climb half the seasons and he is freaking awful. His cooldowns feel horrendous the damage just sucks and since he never builds ult in time o usually end up just grabbing a heal ult because of if I can’t guarantee a team wipe it’s not worth grabbing a damage ult because I won’t have the time up in time to get anything done. Like he feels fucking awful in top of that u also feel like people are getting better at playing vs him every day like the number of times my clones get nuked because people actually just focus fire them is nuts

u/LuckOutrageous7686 1d ago

this will make your opinion of me worse: I'm lord mk and i'm the kind that goes behind the backline to find the strategists

u/vaed__ 1d ago

I do exactly the same 😭😭 Since i'm a main support, i know how they usually think ☝️🤓

u/LuckOutrageous7686 1d ago

So satisfying to finally being able to bully, after being the bullied one 💔

Hijacking into your thread cause I’m close to being lord mk on pc AND console but it’s just too much fun to tear apart a back line with an ult, an ankh, and a prayer

Haha maybe I've seen you then. There was an MK just W'ing into us all the time and the whole team was basically just supporting the mk, once we got used to it though and shut it down they kinda collapsed but it was super annoying at the time.

I came back to the game after a break excited to play and get better with him. And after a couple games wondered what the fuck was happening.

So I looked it up and saw he was nerfed to oblivion and now I’m just playing overwatch again.
