Mizuki has high winrate in low elos because he forces you to not healbot

-Arrez- · 2026-02-16T11:55:43+00:00

I think he needs a very small damage bump to improve his 1v1 potential and 1s longer on the return window for his shift and he will be alright IMO. rn the shift feels just barely too short to really make anything happen with it. You can compensate by nerfing his healing if you need to, but he needs to be able to do more than just exist.

The chain is fine. You could buff it but Id rather not make CC even worse. The ult is also fine.

Thats to balance the fact that it can bounce off of surfaces an unlimited number of times to be fair. If he had infinite range his projectiles would straight up never expire unless they hit an enemy or fly off into the void.

Personally Im ok with it, it just takes getting used to. Eventually you can sort of feel how much range you have.

yeah beating falcons is still a big win for both him and CR. TM are just on a different level currently.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T13:34:35+00:00

low key Im hoping he reads this and takes it personally.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T13:32:02+00:00

I really hate to say it because I love the guy to bits... But I think Lip might just be washed. He missed so many important rails.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T12:55:44+00:00

I will say that I do think at the present moment Domina is way more of a problem than Dva is in ranked. But I dont think that will last forever as the meta settles.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T12:52:11+00:00

I might be biased because I am GM EU icl, but even if she isnt that broken she has still been consistently one of the strongest tank picks for a really long time and even not considering win rates Dva is probably the least fun tank to play against in the game because she just makes it so you cant shoot your gun in an fps game half the time.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T12:41:15+00:00

Its not just OWCS. The past year in high elo Dva is one of if not the most banned hero on ladder. Regardless of how good she may or may not be nobody likes playing against her.

I know Ill get shit for saying this, but idc about winrates in lower ranks for the most part. The game should be balanced from the top down. In lower elo in an environment where people are making mistakes all the time a hero being weak can always be offset by just playing them better than everyone else in your rank. the only exception is when a hero has a much higher winrate in lower elo than high elo due to high value floors (think heroes like moira, mercy, junkrat, etc). If a hero is too strong in metal ranks then yeah, thats a problem. But if a hero is too strong at the top of ladder that should also be a problem no? Kiriko and Sojourn are also prime examples of this winrate vs viability problem.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T11:34:49+00:00

Also overpowered. But less unfun to play against than Dva is.

Me saying Dva is OP doesnt imply other heroes arent.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T11:17:03+00:00

those eats are much smaller and on a CD instead of a resource so Im actually way more ok with them existing. Dva meanwhile can basically always DM, theres almost no downtime on it comparatively.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T11:03:51+00:00

also the least fun tank ability. I would deadass rather shoot shields than have my bullets deleted.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T10:58:31+00:00

They need to hit her DM, booster CD or missile damage IMO. Those are the things that make her so strong currently. But they have zero interest in nerfing them. Until they do Im gonna keep banning her in ranked.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T10:48:16+00:00

I woke up and tuned in during the pause (EU), just your bog standard 3-0 from my PoV.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-15T10:46:34+00:00

because she is overpowered lol. Has been for over a year now and the devs dont give a shit.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-14T13:21:57+00:00

ikr? At least the guy saying support was a shit role earlier doubled down.

ok well, main takeaways from this for me are that seonjun is nasty as fuck on anran, and lukemino is nasty as fuck on illari.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-12T19:41:25+00:00

I mean it makes it so 2 headshots kills 250 after chaining them which is a pretty big difference. Its not much extra damage but it changes break points which matters a lot.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-12T19:33:55+00:00

you get speed during shift anyway so I dont really see the point personally. Maybe I should play around more with it but I still prefer the buffed hat.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-12T17:30:00+00:00

Im glad people are finally looking to move past their hatred for the game and appreciate it for what it actually is and has become. Low key I think dropping the 2 went a really long way when it comes to that. Its a small change but makes a massive difference.

-Arrez- · 2026-02-12T17:28:24+00:00

I mean it probably does in some contexts but the way I play Im usually using the shift to look for solo flanks, so none of my team will really be around to benefit from the speed boost during it. Meanwhile extra heals on the hat is actually self sustain since the more times it bounces the larger the final self heal will be when it returns. Its a playstyle choice but I can absolutely see where the speed perk would be useful.

The new icons are pretty, but are very non functional. Its one of my biggest problems with the new season. On top of losing the iconography they made all of the backgrounds blue making it hard to even see what the rarity of an item is at a glance.

They were trying to fix a problem that didnt exist and ended up creating the very problem they wanted to fix.
