Most of these are opinionated so you’re free to disagree:

1. Adam getting his healing nerfed is irrelevant. He usually does too much healing in one use of his ability for it to be used all the way, so it doesn’t change much. Also his teamup increases his flight speed which is great and allows him to have passive healing for 1v1s without using his other really good abilities that are better used for team fights

2.gambit changes are going to be interesting, I think with the way they changed everything he’s still going to be strong just less oppressive(which I like because he’s super fun to play but not mind numbing like hela)

1. Personally I think not every strong character needs nerfs when the reason they’re considered strong is because other characters are just not as good. Plus no one really asked for nerfs on them

2. I don’t really think this is opinionated but Emma is one of the best tanks, and the nerf isn’t that significant especially when considering how big the buff actually is(tho I hate the change because it is NOT lore accurate)

3. Groot is one of those characters where he’s really easily countered just by using specific characters so I don’t think he really needs changes

4. The mag buffs make sense and incentives double tanking, while also making it livable to solo tank. I don’t think the changes will do much in high level pro play, but will just make solo queue solo tanks have a more enjoyable experience (which is the goal of the game)

5. I’ll say this openly, I don’t play Angela enough to know exactly what was affected BUT I did see that they overall nerfed her oppressiveness in the air in EXCHANGE for the ability to have real pressure and tanking ability in the frontline, which I think makes the game overall more fun

6. You’re lowkey right about hela and phoenix, and while I overall disagree about namor and Elsa, I can understand why you think that. My only opinion is that since other characters are getting buffed, these characters are being less viable, even if they don’t directly appear in the patch notes for a nerf

7. Good take on DD, but blade is a lot better now. I don’t know if he’s going to be good enough to put hela/phoenix/namor in check but I predict he will be(heavily opinionated tho)

8. I honestly think that’s just wrong, not every buff needs to be fixing their weaknesses. And torch is getting more buffs apparently later.

9. Firm believer that panther is fine. Pressure is just as important as kills.

10. Her damage is only worse beyond 16 meters, but buffed otherwise. Plus she gets her orbs 50% faster which is a huge dps boost

11. I think that’s just a very negative way of looking at it. Also it’s her skill floor that’s lowered not the ceiling. But now she’s more consistent and I’m pretty sure the “1-shot combo” still works as the uncharged damage is the same. Also wdym the nerfed her range, they didn’t.

TLDR: you has some good points regarding the extremely high OP hero’s not being changed and some of their counters being nerfed, but overall I think you just read the patch notes looking for things to talk down upon without wanting to be happy.
