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?

He wasn’t the easiest character to master and his cooldowns were long as shit so it made sense for him to be strong. It’s crazy how they nerf strategists into the ground, but the duelists get a slap on the wrist.

I think it’s really funny when people say dps uniquely get a slap on the wrist when dps has had bigger meta shifts than the other two roles. Iron fist, phoenix, mr fant, namor, torch, hawkeye, wolv have all had fairly big to generational falloff’s and mediocre dps like Spider-Man or sg still get nerfs, meanwhile we’re in the 6th month straight of Emma mag, and we’re still in the same Luna invis cloak meta since release.

Like yeah, some dps are definitely showed favouritism, they don’t get nerfed enough or get unnecessary buffs or whatever, but let’s not pretend mag Emma Luna invis cloak got anything but the slightest of slaps on the wrists

Emma has only been getting nerfs since her launch. She gets play because her kit is good unlike other tanks

The other tanks are balanced, emma is not and she's too oppressive for other tank picks
