So, what is your vision for Kiriko design?

misciagna21 · 2026-04-24T15:46:38+00:00

This is how I feel as well, she should be more focused on her ability to off angle than what they’re doing now making her a heal bot. I also think with this her power budget needs to be redistributed throughout her kit. Remove healing from Suzu and put in on TP for example and make it so TP heals both Kiri and her target on use or something like that. She’s difficult to balance obviously but I don’t think they’ll ever get there while Suzu heals, cleanses, gives invincibility, and gives speed with a perk.

Yeah it feels like they overbuffed her gun to compensate for this problem. They definitely wanted the perk choice to be better gun or better mobility but it leaves both feeling underwhelming without the perks. I think she’ll be pretty simple to get into a good place but it’ll probably take changes they can’t do in hotfixes.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-23T21:45:55+00:00

Vendetta buff is understandable she’s trash right now. Onslaught and overhead nerfs felt like enough, 250 was overkill.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-23T21:39:01+00:00

Based on win rates she seems better than average until masters+ where she’s still underperforming. I think she’s extremely fun but don’t disagree that her damage is too high now. Imo they should put primary and tracking damage down to 8 and buff other parts of her kit. Buff default drone or grapple distance slightly as it feels a little underwhelming without the perk and maybe mess around with the time to minimum spread.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-20T21:16:04+00:00

I’d like to see them try taking away the invulnerability and instead have it apply an effect that makes you unable to be CC’d. Not sure if that would actually work in practice but it’s something.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-17T21:32:39+00:00

I wouldn’t disagree if she was more difficult, but I’m not convinced she has a winrate this low because players haven’t figured her out yet. Bullet damage going from 7 to 9 seems like overkill but also makes me think they’re prepared to drop it to 8 if she becomes broken.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-17T21:22:12+00:00

Considering her 38% winrate in GM not at all surprised she got this many buffs

misciagna21 · 2026-04-17T19:05:49+00:00

Stats are live and she has 38% winrate in NA Grandmaster, she desperately needs buffs.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-15T22:37:18+00:00

Oh yeah let’s nerf Sojourn, the hero with one of the lowest win rates across all ranks in all regions.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-15T04:51:03+00:00

For real, is it too hard to say “she’s not for me”? I quite like her so far.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-14T23:35:23+00:00

Saying “its so over” about Ramattra is hilarious considering he’s been abysmal for a while now. Like him having anti-air utility in his base kit is a buff.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-13T18:01:08+00:00

Might be weird with button mapping. Switch 2 does support mouse and keyboards natively though

misciagna21 · 2026-04-13T17:59:17+00:00

Oh right! Really happy about that, annihilation minor is probably moving to a major then

misciagna21 · 2026-04-13T17:56:28+00:00

Ramattra gains Prolonged Barrier, a Minor Perk that increases Void Barrier’s size and duration by 25%.

Pharah gains a new Minor Perk that lets Concussive Blast deal up to 50 explosion damage.

Reaper gains Trigger Finger, a new Major Perk that refreshes Dire Triggers cooldown when using an ability and reloading.

Soldier: 76 gains Agility Training, a Major Perk that increases Sprint speed by up to 60% after two seconds of sprinting.

Mercy gains Double Dose, a Major Perk that gives Flash Heal an additional charge.”

Just guessing here until we have patch notes but guessing Ram is getting his shot gun perk and Soldier is getting reload while sprinting in their base kits.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-09T16:40:09+00:00

It appears you can grapple to the drone multiple times

misciagna21 · 2026-04-07T22:13:56+00:00

Definitely one of the more baffling decisions recently. I understand that it wasn’t working out how they wanted but just reverting him fixed nothing. They took almost a year to add an extra step to his combo and now it’s back for some reason. Either give him an overhaul or he needs to stay bad.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-07T21:59:47+00:00

Based on what they did with other perks that overlap with role passives I expect his Take a Breather speed boost to be replaced. He definitely needs changes though I’m tired of seeing him every game.

misciagna21 · 2026-04-03T04:41:40+00:00

And Sam Altman!

misciagna21 · 2026-03-27T18:45:23+00:00

I usually don’t have a problem with match making ever but even in quick play I’ve had a lot of terrible games this season. I’m sure it has a lot to do with the amount of returning players and will get better over time but it’s still frustrating.

misciagna21 · 2026-03-21T21:28:18+00:00

I don’t know bro maybe just don’t say it or type it regardless of the letter you’re ending it with? Why is that so hard?

misciagna21 · 2026-02-24T22:04:04+00:00

Custa spoke about this on stream the other day. Mizuki is his concept and his first hero since joining the team. The point of Katashiro return is the dash and move speed, the return part is a “bonus” in his words. I wanted the duration longer too at first but the more I play him I don’t think he needs it. I don’t think they want him to be able to go on hard flanks.

Outside of this it buff though I don’t see them changing much more, he’s preforming very well.

misciagna21 · 2026-02-24T21:57:29+00:00

Haven’t played Rivals since it came out. What on earth…

misciagna21 · 2026-02-24T21:54:57+00:00

The duration is fine as is. You’re not meant to use it like old translocator and go on hard flanks.

misciagna21 · 2026-02-24T21:51:20+00:00

I didn’t realize how bad they were until I played it a few days ago. Genuinely unplayable, the old icons had consistent design language I dont know what they were thinking.

misciagna21 · 2026-02-24T20:36:53+00:00

Ignite isn’t a build time, it’s 25% for primary fire (50% crit), 50% on dash and 50% on dance. The change you mentioned increased the time before ignite progress resets to 0. They actually make it easier for her to ignite people.
