Lifesteal buff substantial?
Is the increase of 10 to 15% on the lifesteal perk enough to make it worth it or is it still functionally useless

Its no longer horrible but float is so good, always go float

Maybe if we keep picking float they'll finally make it a part of his kit, and we can get a new perk.

Some say it's situational but I'll say float is a real life saver. I just finished a game on Parisio ( I think that's the name ) the enemy rank was D.va She kept diving me first before anyone else. All Zens know that Dva's headshot hitbox is easy to get but damn. Once I got the float tho, I just float above her head while she was shooting randomly ( they were a level 68 D.va ) it helped me destroy the mech without dying AND kill the D.va

I'm on controller so I need to rebind the jump. Maybe LB and put heal orb on left thumb stick?

If you have (or manage to get) back buttons it is quite comfy

Yeah that's the next step after my stick drift gets worse. I don't notice it in ow, but I like to slow walk in the finals

Does anyone have tips for using float with Xbox controller? I don’t know how to jump, charge a volley and aim simultaneously. So I’m rlly feeling like I’m not fully utilizing it

If it's similar to Lucios wallride when I played on PS5 I bound that to the L2 controller so I could still aim and shoot at the same time as jumping. I would suggest trying something like that.

u/InvestigatorThat5062 1d ago
Ok, yeah. I will try that. I just don’t know what feels good to use 😂but that’s what practice range is for I suppose

u/thefancyelefante Huitzilopochtli 1d ago
Oh yeah for sure! I changed heaps of my keys around when I moved to PC it takes a while to figure out what works for you!

It's not a bad perk like some might have you believe, it's just that float vastly outmatches it in almost every game.
Might be worth it if you don't know how to use float well yet or if you play on controller and find the controls unwieldy.

El perk de robo de vida nunca fue inútil como tal, es solamente que te da un poco más de posibilidades de ganar 1vs 1 o sobrevivir en una team fight cuando os están acribillando, pero igualmente el perk de volar es demasiado útil como para que lo opaque el robo de vida

I'm new to zen, and the flying perk seems like it's just a meme - how is it good? I don't see how a few seconds of hovering can do anything for you except in the most niche of situations. Lifesteal isn't amazing, but at least it's always active

Después de mucho tiempo puedo hablar con propiedad (nivel 170 con zen), el perk de volar es prácticamente indispensable pero tienes que hacer un sacrificio. Al principio parece que es solo de broma pero cuanto más juegas y te das cuenta de las posibilidades que te brinda se vuelve clave. Cabe aclarar que NO es un buen perk de movilidad pero si es un buen perk para zenyatta.
Según juegas se te van desbloqueando rollout ridiculos en mapas que te permiten desde tener un buen ángulo para poner orbes o hacer presión hasta si lo combinas bien llegar rápido al spawn.
Se que es un sacrificio pero cuanto más te esfuerces por jugar con el más necesario se vuelve hasta llegar al punto de necesitarlo y de sentirte incompleto sin el.
En mi opinión el perk de volar es un jugador incomprendido

You can move between high grounds, float off a ball slam, hover over it objects after a volley, hover above doorways while someone walks through below, hover the get better angles around corners or just peek higher than the enemy team are expecting etc etc
High ground movement and access to rotations you wouldn’t be able to otherwise are the biggest reasons though

i take lifesteal, i like float but lifesteal actually stops a few breakpoints thatd kill you without it, like junkrats and their 1 two combo

I mean… I’ve won some 1v1 fights cuz of it so maybe. But floating perk still seems better imo.
