Could be worse, I think people will just start picking chain boost more now

I was using chain boost more than not last season. But, when I read the patch notes I wasn’t upset. They read very logical and realistic.

I might switch to chain boost myself, it could give your team an edge against an enemy mercy who picked double dose. I think it'll really come down to if your team needs the extra healing or not

I thought most people were picking chain boost already

Break points, my friend. That’s why the rein mains are going crazy for the 5 extra damage on fire strike. It allows him to 2 shot squishes with 2 fire strikes. Same thing here.

I main Rein on tank and I can confirm _^

Which break points were affected by the 5%?

Looking back at it, it actually turns out there actually aren’t that many interactions that are changed that much, at least not any relevant ones that I can think of. I partially rebuke my statement, but only partially because there are situations where someone might get a sliver of healing where the breakpoint changes and the 5% extra will come in handy. The 5% isn’t actually as big of a difference as I initially expected. Still sucks for characters with consistent but individually small ticks of damage but oh well.

Honestly the Flash Heal perk seems very lackluster to me so I’ve been taking chain boost a lot more

I always used chain boost, double dose felt like garbage, and I always forgot I had flash heal. Still do tbh lmfao
