      Hog was born like any other hero and worked hard to get where he is, why does everyone think they can just get heals and one shot kills handed to them without putting in the effort. Mr. Hog has made Junkertown the envy of all other trash heaps around the world. This is just cancel culture trying to ruin a self made hog.

    God, Zen is one of those characters who probably just need to be fully reworked because they have exactly one feature keeping them afloat and that feature is a bit too good, so as soon as you take that away, the character is just arse.
    Like sure, Zen still has good damage aside from that, but he has no mobility, bad heals outside of his ult and no utility. If you don't rework him, his kit simply needs one very powerful ability to really give a reason as to why he even should be played. Right now, that's discord. But if discord was nerfed significantly or changed to work differently, then Zen would just not have a place in the game. At that point, he's just crappy Mercy. Sure, he still hits harder than her but let's be honest, if you just want to murder people, there's other good options on the support roster such as Lucio or Baptiste.

    if you gave zens discord orb a 3-5 second limit then a 2 second cool down and maybe drop the damage to 20% I think it would help with his discord, and maybe as an buff increase the health gain from the harmony orb just a little

    • @scotttimbrell8632
      @scotttimbrell8632 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So 1 person takes 20% damage for 5 seconds? Eh that doesnt sound amazing. Youll have to buff Zen quite a bit to allow him to actual do more in that case.
      Honestly i think his Orbs shouldnt be LOS related, If youre using your orb on a flier then it frees up mercy for another pick, it also means you dont need to be in a shit spot to heal people and help him be more consistent.
      I think his Right click shouldnt be a charge fire type thing, i think it should be a massive orb that deals damage kinda like sig rock, have Zens discord orb be Morias old purple orb thing that prevents damage for a few seconds instead. Just some things i would do personally.
      A spicy idea would be that everyone on your team gets a small orb that constantly heals as a passive, but the heal is like 5 per second or something and then you can free up an ability slot for him for something else. That would be fun :D

  • @courgettie1792

    I feel like Zenyatta making a Discord AoE instead of a Discord Orb, sort of like Ramattra's vortex, would be a pretty good way to rework his ability. It introduces the idea of a cooldown naturally, still creates a pretty important amount of pressure for the tank, and it doesn't remove the only worthwhile part of Zen's kit besides his ultimate.

    • @scoople6
      @scoople6 ปีที่แล้ว

      They could keep his damage numbers the same but change around how much of that damage is because of discord. Discord is nerfed but zen as an character isn't affected. They could trade it out for a low percent (10-15%) and maybe compensate by making healing worse for the target by a small amount (5-10%) or giving him a movement ability (they won't but a man can dream).

    • @iswearimworking6662

      @iswearimworking6662 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​@vini This is more along the lines of what I'm thinking. Zen doesn't need a nerf though, I think a restructuring would be best. Either increase his fire rate/damage, or buff his individual damage output for discord, to compensate for the lower discord bonus for teammates. Either of these I'd be cool with.

    a flat nerf to Zenyatta's Discord without either a rework to its function to include a smaller damage debuff and lower healing received by the target OR an adjustment elsewhere in his kit is absurd. he already has low healing output and terrible mobility, and can be dove on by almost the entire roster.

    • @nicolaszan1845
      @nicolaszan1845 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Discord is legitimately the only reason to play Zenyatta at the moment. The ability can only be touched _after_ support had their reworks as promised by Blizzard, and/or Zenyatta himself has a rework to give him different abilities entirely.
      But taking his discord orb away or nerfing it with no other changes to his kit would essentially make him unplayable unless the enemy team has a Reinhardt or an Orisa.

    yea zen can put pressure on the tank but it's a huge risk because his heal is low for the team and he's very diveable with no movement. he also has a large hitbox for a support with a juicy headshot
    zen would need a complete rework without discord

      @vkdeen7570 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Nicolás Zan it's not a general rework he'd need (like a new support passive) he'd need a total rework. he'd offer almost 0 value. his hitbox (especially head) being so big would make no sense. his lack of movement or escape would make no sense. his ability to get assists would be cut by at least half. he would be unable to duel since the discord is the only way he has any sort of chance of duelling. even his damage output (his big plus as support) would be reduced by the lack of discord. every part of him would basically become obsolete. with discord now he's D maybe C tier pick at all ranks.... so by definition discord isn't that destructive... if it were he'd see more play at high ranks... he doesn't because the risk of playing him isn't quite valuable enough for the reward in the meta

    I’m okay with discord, because you still have to aim. They could give Zen more survivability and just reduce the discord value. It’d be cool if Zen could get an ability related to meditation that gives utility and then the discord was just enough to hit certain breakpoints on Squishies in 1v1s and against tanks that are super tanky.

    Discord should have a fuel to it similar to moira's heal fuel except in order to recharge it you have to take it off the target or have it run out, and then it has a cooldown (idk what numbers cooldown or fuel shouldbe just thought this would be a nice way to balance it)

  • @EvonneSol
    @EvonneSol ปีที่แล้ว

    So, question, Flats: what would you think of changing discord orb to be more like Mercy's damage boost? Bring it more into the lines of, you know, boosting the damage output by one person rather than having everyone focus-fire on someone? It'd turn Zen into more of a pocket healer who pairs with a DPS and they can maybe even flank around together and focus-fire targets. I think that'd be more fair that just slapping it on tank and everyone focus-firing.

    Truth always will be even top players don’t agree on balance questions of mechanics, it’s not surprising at these tik-toks by very new players. It’s stunning how many shield bearers for instance still hold their shield up vs Ranmattas nemesis form… most players are woefully ignorant of the various characters never bothering to even read the wiki on each character much less keep up with changes.

Just to walk into line of fire choose ur victim and pull him into the void, heal all the damage come back 8 seconds later and do it again, just that feeling alone is what a tank means, to be able to shake off damage like it’s nothing and keep moving, hog defo needs a rework but keep the hook, it’s his staple and without it he isn’t hog.

    Bruh zen is fine, leave him alone. Zen takes far more skill to pull off than mercy. Zenyatta doesn’t go around zooming everywhere on the map, the hitbox is way bigger than the actual model and he’s really easy to kill. Zen has trash heals as well, the discord is literally the bread and butter of zenyatta. Please don’t start wanting to nerf zenyatta now, he’s fine. 😑

  • @SidewaysGts
    @SidewaysGts ปีที่แล้ว

    Having been playing tank a lot lately- Ya, I dislike zen. Much like stated here- the overwhelming majority of the time zen just plops the discord orb on the tank, and leaves it there. It always easily becomes a "focus and kill the tank" mechanic- And feels miserable to play into. His *soul* purpose right now, is to ruin over the tanks.

  • @Panic431
    @Panic431 ปีที่แล้ว

    nah, nerfing discord would make zen borderline useless. It's already a struggle to survive with his limited movement and his heals are not great either, not a single soul will play him if you take his ability to successfully 1v1 a diver or pressure the enemies in a team fight away. Making supports easier to kill is not the way to go unless you want to be stuck playing open queue because there are no support players left.

      To be fair it’s not Blizzard’s fault. Hog was extremely buffed due to OV 1 double barrier meta. He used to not have an one shot at all but he was struggling back then as the weakest tank. Now that in OV 2 there’s only 1 tank so it’s much easier to get one shot hooks more consistently. They know he’s not healthy for the game and they’re going to rework him in the future

      I would rather her be like the link support in paladins, where she can constantly heal who shes hooked with and boost their and her own speed, which would make Lucio not the only speed boost pick and we wouldnt have these damage number issues.
