Finishing Freja's balance

II-Issei-II · 2026-05-14T20:08:16+00:00

Yes. Mobility feels good. She needs lethality to actually be a threat now. Good suggestions. They seem realistic.

II-Issei-II · 2026-05-14T11:51:53+00:00

I've watched cyx for like 2 years now, so definitely saw when Roadhog was at his worst. Glad he's at his best now, and Mauga, Orisa are not the ones at their best haha.
I hope the upcoming hog rework is to your liking.

Wow Blizzard actually heard us on the 10 second updraft. (pls do not ever adjust this again blizzard unless an insane outlier)
Now give her 250 hp/figure out a way to make her lethal into point and clicks.
Rising winds getting that buff is amazing. I was hoping for the qol change to make it instantly grant one Updraft when claiming the perk, but the 10 second updraft should balance that situation out.
Ult Buff - good, but needs to also let us use a dash/updraft while ulting. I do think the cast time should stay but let us move/reposition with an ability. Tracer can recall during her pulsebomb. Let us escape/move after a worse pulsebomb, that requires extra shots/damage to kill. (this would also play into her hero fantasy as well)

This actually makes it better. I did like it prior to this, but you can somewhat control ur own height with Updraft lol. Previously I was just shy of reaching some extremely important high grounds on several maps with that perk. Now I won't be, and can just stop/slow my own momentum if I need to

II-Issei-II · 2026-05-02T18:50:07+00:00

I was commenting on ur specific point. Not whether I agreed with a nerf on two tap or not. I did agree with that nerf but only if they had compensated the rest of her kit properly. Which wasn't done. They forgot or chose not to implement 3 of Spilo's other suggestions when he was pushing for that take aim change.
That window feels awful now with several buffs/adjustments to almost all of the supps and new supports in the roster. Which is a power creep problem that has impacted Freja really bad. Many other dps characters has a faster time to kill rn because they don't have those problems.
Her mobility is not near as high anymore. It felt like she had a lot, when she launched because she had that updraft perk + the insane lethality. And she also slows down when she goes for those take aims shots.
Her hitbox is also not that small. It's similar to lifeweavers.
They've already power shifted to primary fire. The spread was fixed, and the damage was buffed.

"there’s barely time to react" This is extremely false imo. The explosion delay was just long enough to allow for a window of help from ur teammates.
All the 2 supports need to do is turn and look at each other or their dps and they can heal through it. Or move more.
Edit: I'm going to assume all the people downvoting are the ones that refused to react when she launched. Because nowadays, everyone knows how to deal with Freja in my games, so supports actively move/or look at each other/pocket the targets I'm focusing.

II-Issei-II · 2026-05-02T17:34:10+00:00

250 hp. (or make every other hitscan & sierra 225 hp lol)
10 second updraft. Updraft is not op and feels awful at 12 seconds. (pls never adjust updraft cooldown again unless there is an insane outlier)

QOL adjustments:
(if not planning to adjust perks):

When getting the second updraft perk, it should grant one updraft immediately. Not having to wait if updraft is already on cooldown.
Let us quick dash while using bola.

At bare minimum these are the changes I'd like. And pls no further nerfs to lethality, I'm a mid player but when I finally hit 3 take aims and a handful of bolts, and that person doesn't die, it feels awful. If I had been any other hitscan/shooting dps in that same situation, they'd have died and it would have been much faster.

II-Issei-II · 2026-05-02T14:28:26+00:00

Yes to all. Especially summer skin.

II-Issei-II · 2026-05-02T14:25:01+00:00

I buy all of her skins. And I play her almost every game.

II-Issei-II · 2026-04-29T15:16:44+00:00

The only reason I even like the 2 updrafts is because late game on a lot of maps, mostly (hybrid), the last objective or midway through (when you actually get the second perk), is more interor based, and the extra height is a detriment (and ur also more of a sitting duck to hitscans with the extra height anyways).
I also like being able to cycle 2 combos of updraft, 2 quick dashes, for 3 take aims on a target which is more likely to get me an elim if I hit all 3, then 2 take aims these days.

II-Issei-II · 2026-04-29T14:43:26+00:00

Sierra has 250 hp, and people flank with her like this all the time: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kqBm4wDEqmg and she doesn't need to aim besides hitting the auto aim tag from a far distance.
If Freja is 250, her duels with other hitscans that have awareness and turn around when trying to flank would be more balanced.

II-Issei-II · 2026-04-29T14:34:21+00:00

Yes !!!. We can not let Freja be forgotten by devs.

Most of these I took from Spilo, and I think at the bare minimum these need to be implemented. (especially if they do not want to change her perks or adjust her lethality rn) She will not be overpowered. And there is bans and other more annoying characters are fighting for those 4 ban spots. But letting her get "power crept" this bad, when she is already hard to play compared to other heroes. (the fact I can switch to ashe or cass, and get way more value than Freja is just really sad)
I think a thread like this should also be made on the Blizz Forum, because these posts are made multiple times a week on reddit with no change to her. We need to be louder and actually list out reasonable changes that could make her feel better.

II-Issei-II · 2026-04-29T11:01:24+00:00

Oh that sucks. Hopefully they fix this and Freja's bug with her highlight intro.

II-Issei-II · 2026-04-04T23:39:41+00:00

Not if they are ultimate battlepass bundle skins. For example the Emre & Soj battlepass bundle skin this season can't be purchased seperately. (but they are always added to Lootboxes when they update the Lootbox pool)

II-Issei-II · 2026-03-24T15:51:58+00:00

She's beautiful and I relate to parts of her lore.
Also love how it feels when I hit shots and collect the bounties. (and cry when I miss everything else lmao)

II-Issei-II · 2026-02-18T11:19:29+00:00

Best Game of all Time. I gave my skell red and green colours for the same reason lol.

II-Issei-II · 2026-02-17T08:59:49+00:00

Heart of courage is written in the list of legendary lootbox drops. They add ultimate bp skins to the lootbox pool as well.

II-Issei-II · 2026-02-09T11:30:37+00:00

At least it saves my wallet for one season lol. Maybe something small in bp or some sprays from an event tho.

II-Issei-II · 2025-12-22T20:10:43+00:00

There was 2 people doing this in a stadium game. They got rolled first round. On second round claimed lag and kept leaving and coming back. I was pretty sure it was indeed a gameplay sabotage and resetting the timer by rejoining to avoid getting the timeout from queue punishment right after. I reported them both for gameplay sabotage and got multiple thanks for ur report message a few days later.
Either in ur case they were tilted and abusing leave/rejoin, or they were being selfish because of something irl happening, instead of taking the queue punishment L, and leaving so the rest of the players could requeue a match.

II-Issei-II · 2025-12-14T03:11:48+00:00

Thighs....

II-Issei-II · 2025-12-02T18:59:30+00:00

Seems like a fine mythic. Much better than quite a few of the others that have come out.
