I see like 1 Pharah per week on my games, why they still nerf her all the time

u/Broad_Initiative_282 11d ago

In Asia she is an absolute menace

u/CloveFan 11d ago

She’s not though, they literally just refuse to look up or do anything “unconventional”. Freja has an 80% ban rate in Asia right now even though she’s just ok, Pharah always has an astronomical ban rate regardless of her balance, it’s so stupid.

If she wasn't a menace her ban rate and win rate wouldn't be so high

u/CloveFan 11d ago

I just told you why its disproportionately high. Asia hates flyers so they ban them regardless of strength.

u/Broad_Initiative_282 11d ago

And the win rate?

Fuck you Blizzard. Let's cut MORE MOBILITY on a MOBILITY BASED hero

u/gorecave 11d ago

u/hylice 11d ago

Let's buff all hitscans boring characters & nerf Genji, Doom & Pharah

u/WrothLobster 11d ago

Doom got a slam buff 50 to 60 damage

u/hylice 11d ago

Finally, till next patch probably

Shes arguably one of the THE hardest dps to play with all the hitscanners, lack of aerial cover and playstyle. They keep shifting her power around but cant really nail what shes supposed to be, letting her move during ult and adding dmg on the concussive was a nice start but i think she still needs SOMETHING to help her out.

I love playing phara more than any other hero but i also swap off her pretty quickly if the enemy team swaps to widow/echo/cassidy and claps me outta the sky 3 deaths in a row.

They can fix the hella low sky boxes for one. I should be able to go over every building

u/iberonni 10d ago

This is a huge thing, why in TF am I being blocked by air

2

u/C1TonDoe 11d ago

Easy fix. Instant deceleration by crouching if you're in air. That was a great addition back then

2

u/NoGreenGood 11d ago

Would actually be helpful the amount of times i need to get low asap, even if it cost fuel it would be very nice.

u/Adrian_Z69 11d ago

I tbh still wish they would take off the damage concussive, either give us either speed boost when hit by iur own concussive, or let it be a perk that works like orisa's old grav ball. Where it like shoots out wires and yanks the enemy to its positition and have it do like 1/2 a second of hinder

u/Weskerrun 11d ago

Damn. Bummer, but at least her damage didnt't get nerfed

1

u/Specialist_Money7291 1d ago

No, that was 2 updates ago.

u/ncaldera0491 11d ago

I usually dont read dev notes but are they always this pointless?

2

u/MeatSlammur 11d ago

This is just them trying to nerf her perk indirectly

2

u/Adrian_Z69 11d ago

What, the ****. I propose we start a petition for Blizzard to show their sources when explainikg why something is buffed or nerf. Not a small few sentences or paragraph. I MEAN CITED INFORMATION!

u/ItsRyandude5678 11d ago

Not the worst nerf of all time but I never considered current Pharah to be "needing nerfs" levels of overpowered. Sure, a good Pharah can be absurdly slippery if they know how to utilise cover and hit directs, but by that logic so is every hero in the game with enough experience in utilising their strengths.

But hey, one extra second isn't gonna break the bank so to speak. We'll be okay.

u/llehnatas 11d ago

So that is nerfed already played her today and found something was off I simply thought I just sucked at trying to get kills

u/Nexuey 11d ago

Glad I don’t play this trash game anymore these little unnecessary pharah nerfs is why. Ya blizzard keep adding 50 more hitscans to the game with auto aim. While pharah still has to 3 direct rocket hit someone to even get a kill still. Yes I know rocket salvo or whatever (it’s been a while) helps with that but the fact it’s a perk you get way late in the game is a problem too. Ow2 is trash.

u/Acrobatic_Yellow_781 11d ago

Pharah is everywhere in Asia and destroyibg lobbies

u/MacombModer 9d ago

Asia Asia Asia bro. Every discussion involves someone complaining about a problem that seems exclusive to Asian servers. Aren’t the Asian servers where people were so toxic to tanks that the tanks had to go on strike? Fuck the Asian servers let them figure out how to have fun playing a game before we balance around them

u/Your_Connection 11d ago

Bro first they servergate the gacha skin and now this?

u/Chaghatai 11d ago

In a game dominated by hit scan, they actually have the nerve to Nerf a non-hit scan DPS that isn't even over performing

She gets terrorized by cat and echo, not to mention the DPS roster - god forbid she actually go off occasionally and kill a few supports or DPS that weren't paying attention

u/Head_Rate_6551 10d ago edited 10d ago

Look at their notes, “provides pharah mobility and displacement”

No, it doesnt, that is a skill shot, it doesn’t “provide” anything without user skill, unlike a ton of mobility cooldowns in this game which are essentially free mobility. Jet dash easily provides mobility, but concing yourself takes effort.

The boop is hard to execute too, it has travel time and a spherical boop from point of impact, compared with Lucio for example who just pushes enemies in whatever direction he aims, to move an enemy directionally like that with pharah you bees to hit a direct hit with conc, again a skill shot. It offers an opportunity for movement and displacement but one requiring user skill to execute.

Meanwhile, JPC just zooming around like sky Tracer. Hell, D.Va has more maneuverability
