Finally made the switch over to Linux yesterday, kind of cool it was on the anniversary!

No teleports is pretty huge. Even with them increasing sprint again that really increases end to end travel time.

Originally her ult only hit one target, they changed it to 2 to buff her since she’s pretty bad once you have people smart enough to use metal skin if she’s fed.

That made her pretty OP so they changed it back to 1 but had her ult also do spirit damage to offset how hard countered she could be.

I haven’t been able to play much since the new map rework since with kids i don’t get as much time to play as I used to but it sounds like she (and any hero that was good with farming) has benefited enough from the new map that they felt she should be nerfed.

I agree with you she shouldn’t be a hero that’s strong since she’s too easy to play but was just shocked at the nerf based on my experience with the old map but makes a bit more sense hearing about the new meta the map rework has made.

Edit: I’m probably explaining it bad but think she can only shoot at one target at a time within her range but that doesn’t mean all her shots are only hitting 1 hero, she used to be able to basically shoot at 2 targets at once so it was a pretty big DPS increase.

Am I crazy or is that a huge Haze nerf?

I know they added that spirit damage part after removing her hitting 2 targets so now they’re just removing the spirit damage completely or am I missing something?

I don’t play her but she felt like bottom tier for anyone that’s not a beginner so a nerf is surprising.

I’ve been busy so only played 3 games and not quite sure how I feel yet with that small a sample size. I do feel like split pushing is much harder but haven’t had a game as wraith yet tho to test that out since I’m primarily playing support Ivy.

I do think long term it’s probably going to make it easier for new players to get the hang of things:

1. Less lanes means less objectives to think about and they put jungle/farm in a lot more open obvious spots so it’s not as hard to find for them.

2. Everyone in duo lanes means it’s less likely they get just absolutely stomped during laning.

That’s probably good for getting new players but we’ll have to see once the game is officially released.

I like the removal of last hitting since it was kind of dumb how you could do 99% damage and not get souls for it.

Not sure how I feel about the map rework since I only had time for a game. The center of the map definitely feels more mad for team fights now which is fun but I kind of miss 4 lanes.

Going from 4 lanes to 3 is interesting will have to see how it feels later when I get a chance to play.

Should make rotations quicker especially with the sped up zip line and raised sprint speed.

Guessing it’s going to be 2 per lane which normalizes things a bit as well.

Another niche one but seems a good pick for Q pressers. Think it has synergy with viscous puddle punch if I’m remembering right.

Oh yeah months ago it was OP, felt roughly fair before this last update tho. Been a couple things I feel like got over needed recently.

Yeah it was already kind of an edge case and now really feels bad compared to the other healing options.

Funny that right after the extra stamina post where I said I’d still use it without the fire rate buff they went and removed it completely.

Not sure why card wraith continues to get nerfed lol. Like after lane they’re only used to proc quicksilver reload since they do almost no damage.

Don’t see this one used as much but it has its niche helping hero’s with really low bullet velocity like Kelvin or that have buildup effects like Infernus.

The movement bridge buff is my favorite one to get, sucks once it wears off tho lol

Good tip for vindicta, will remember when I try to play her!

This is an auto buy for me on every hero even Ivy who starts with and extra one, and I’m pretty decent at movement.

Not surprised they nerfed the fire rate buff on it recently it’s still great, think I’d still use it with no fire rate buff at all lol

- Calico: Ava now can now meow with m1

lol I appreciate the small adjustments like this

*- All objectives now take 50% less damage from Spirit Damage (abilities no longer have one off values for this)*

They hid a huge change in the middle again lol.

I had completely dropped my old main wraith after the 10% gun damage nerfs but this may give her a niche of tower killing since she was still pretty good with that and now most other characters are worse.

Looking at the stats post nerf best case scenario you hit a hero every 9s and get 40 health. Compare that to extra regen where you’d get 27 health in that same time (+3 regen).

If you hit anything but a hero though you’re only getting 15 and if you don’t hit anything you get 0. Still seems pretty solid post nerf now that I look at it if you’re gonna be active but you need to be hitting heros most of the time to make it worth it from a pure regen standpoint.

The bullet shield is a good plus early and the weapon damage is probably a bit more valuable now that every hero took a nerf but it still probably depends on what your build has less demand on gun or vitality items

Big change to all hero’s: All heroes base gun damage and growth reduced by 10%

Feel like that should’ve been on top lol

Calico wasn’t what I thought. The 3 (turn into Cat) won’t work if you get shot until 5 sec after which makes it pretty useless. The other 3 moves are strong but feel clunky to me. Surprisingly Holliday is the one I think I may add as my 3rd chooses but haven’t actually played her in a match yet
