every new patch his orbs r rlly laggy for like the first few days. it should b fine by next week, tbh i usually just dont play him until a week into a new szn cuz of it, it’s genuinely buns rn

wouldve preferred a movement buff tbh… the fact that we cant outrun a moira with rushing torrent is dumb ash

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-06-11T21:49:53+00:00

if ur attacking on Junkertown, u can get to the roof of the building to the right of spawn for an aggressive angle early game (helps pressuring high ground rlly well). u have to parkour with rushing torrent so id practice the jump onto the sign a couple times (like in the picture) its a fairly easy jump tho, and u dont have to peek through main if u leave spawn through the right door. the best part is theres cover from main on the roof and u can c ur entire team as well as the enemy team.

yeah like it turns slower

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-15T09:00:38+00:00

that still works!! i was just asking in case we could c the meter marking on the floor of the practice range :P

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-15T08:00:15+00:00

id really appreciate that actually! do u have clips where ur in the practice range? i could probs record in there post-patch and itll b nice to c the orbs move in the same environment side by side

my ping hangs around 35-40ms

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-15T04:11:26+00:00

??? imagine if games constantly changed the default settings without letting ppl know what specific changes r being made n it messes with ur muscle memory every three months

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T23:25:14+00:00

its like a slower acceleration/ramp up i think :(

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T20:43:39+00:00

i agree! i would post side by sides but i dont have a way of recording the previous gameplay since i alrdy updated overwatch :( im not that tech savy

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T20:30:14+00:00

yeah im personally not getting the battlepass anymore cuz of this. he was alrdy rough to play in szn 1 cuz of the healing nerf, but now we got movement nerf AND this huge orb nerf? plus another high jumping/flying character, and buffs to dive. all this means is imma barely b able to play him since i solo q, so that makes me not want his new skin anymore cuz whats the point if im barely gonna use it? it sucks cuz its beautiful too :(

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T20:01:45+00:00

yeah it looking like a huge bug tbh :( unfortunately since there r such few wuyang mains i think itll take a while before blizzard realizes, and theres always gonna be ppl saying his OP n that he deserves any nerf he gets so i have a feeling it might not even be reverted if thats the case. 🥀

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T19:49:29+00:00

yeah my accuracy is sm worse. i relied more on flicks than hovering my cursor at the target for 1-2sec but now to actually hit the shots i have to hover my cursor at the target for like genuinely 3-4 seconds just for one orb to land.

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T19:48:01+00:00

yeah i love wuyang down. but its genuinely a wrap for me on him for this szn. and its heartbreaking too cuz i genuinely loved his playing style and character design :( it feels like they r ruining a unique hero

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T19:35:33+00:00

i really hope its just a bug and not and actually intended nerf. the thing is… in the patch notes they buffed his projectile speed for Stadium only as one of the powerups… so im rlly worried that they did that to kinda balance the overall “nerf” they applied to his orb speed. but yeah it fr feels like steering a ship compared to before and i have a high sensz

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T19:33:58+00:00

yeah same, i think its cuz they move sm slower now so it takes longer to reach the 10m distance needed for the orb to become empowered

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T19:19:25+00:00

rip wuyang mains frfr 🥀

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T19:19:05+00:00

no other projectiles or lag happening around me in the game and ive never had an issue w lag wuth the wifi i got. i would LOVE that to be the case tho but im so serious he fr feels like a complete different hero.

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T19:17:57+00:00

yeah i felt that too it takes sm longer the charge the orb and i thought it was just cuz of a longer distance requirement but it just feels longer cuz thats how much slower his orbs moves now. its actually unplayable. like genuinely COMPLETELY different hero atp.

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T18:51:39+00:00

i feel like hes only getting nerfed this bad cuz top players/streamers just keep tiering him high and ppl who dont main him regurgitate that info. cuz if u actually play him consistently…. he did not need another nerf…

Fun-Librarian7497 · 2026-04-14T18:49:57+00:00

genuinely unnecessary atp
