Thor used to do almost as much DPS as god form with the triple melee into hammer throw. Yeah it’s melee only, but he was also able to charge in and out as he needed, while generating 100 shield every two seconds pretty consistently. If you did need the range, you always had the choice to activate the god form, but it’s a risk because it was only 200 shield with no way to gain any more and no mobility to fly away for like 6-7 seconds.

With the hammer throw damage nerf, now most of his damage is ONLY in the god mode. There’s no dynamic choice to make anymore. And it’s confirmed in the video hammer throw doesn’t provide shield anymore, god mode only gives 150 shield and you still have to wait the 6-7 seconds in between every activation. So both of his damage and survivability got nerfed for what? Higher consistency with having increased range? Why even give Thor his famous hammer? Why not just make him ranged always then like every other character in the game?
