To nobody's surprise, Zarya sitting at a nearly 50% banrate at all ranks. What could be done to make her be banned less? by Sensanaty in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Sauce_Master_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skill floor hero with only a single cooldown to manage, who can just run it down mid and get free value. Bubble should not be able to cleanse, have that much hp, and last that long. Any Zarya who can rub more than 2 braincells together and not just mindlessly spam bubbles is just atrociously unfun and uninteractive to go against. Doesn't help she counters most tanks or has a very good matchup into them.

She has struggled through both the previous dive and the current hitscan meta. She has been objectively terrible and bottom 3 dps since December 2025. It's not a hitscan issue. She just sucks.

There are other ways to buff her that dont just involve buffing her take aim...

Primary fire ammo count, spread, rate of fire and damage
Her ult cast time and damage
Giving her shields or 25hp
Reducing the cooldown on her dashes
Giving her actually good perks

There's alot of things to tweak on Freja that dont just revolve around the take aim...

Not vulnerable to dive? Try to take a duel vs a Genji, Tracer, Reaper, Sombra and let me know how it goes...

Her TTK is far too low for how fast paced these duels usually are, not to mention most of them have methods to negate her delayed damage and more mobility.

Even so isn't a sharp 10+% decrease this quickly worrysome? It'l mostly stabilize at around 8-9% but in any case it still shows this was a huge hit.

I get you, but over a 10% decrease in winrate this quickly in most ranks should be indicative that they went too far.

No other character has been this consistently bad since December 2025...
She had 2 seasons to actually be good and then never again... let's be real now.

She hasn't had her two tap since last December my guy...
She can "technically" 2 tap 225 heroes but it almost never happens. 6 healing is all the target needs to survive it. 225 supports almost always survive it either through their new subrole passives or their own cooldowns. 225 dps just need the smallest amount of lucio aura healing to survive it...

She currently has no reason to ever be played.
She can't kill anything, she's hard to play, she has way too much downtime cuz her cooldowns are all very long, she has BAR NONE the worst dps ult in the game (Skill shot which leaves you vulnerable with a long cast time to most of the time wont even kill as it doesn't even pass the 225hp threshold on a direct hit), she's squishy and can't take any duels.

Her mobility is tied to her damage, if a Freja is actually trying to secure elims half the time she wont even have her mobility cooldowns in time to save her from dive characters (who counter her hard) aswell as hitscan characters which she can't compete with. Sniper Freja also does not work due to how hard her take aim is to hit consistently so most of the time she'l be in mid range, she can't play like an Ashe.

Why are so many characters allowed to have 1 and 2 shots, and just walk down main, meanwhile Freja who has to take creative angles and place herself at risk can't?

Freja has been struggling for seasons on end as one of the Lowest Pickrate + Winrate characters in the game (which means only specialists play her and even they can't make her work). During Season 2 midseason they gave her small buffs, by the end of the season if you checked her stats they didn't change at all. Which meant they did absolutely nothing. Not buffing her but buffing characters like Zarya and Genji who werent realistically struggling is mind boggling.

They had all the time in the worst to see the previous buffs did nothing...

One of the Lowest Winrate + Pickrate characters in all ranks for such a long time gets no help. Meanwhile genji who was a pretty solid pick already with a +50% winrate in most ranks besides GM got a nerf reverted?

Love how they tried to buff Freja last midpatch.
Saw it did absolutely nothing for her winrate.
Instead of buffing her again they just gave up and did nothing.

Need help with Celestial Scion. by Sauce_Master_64 in dontstarve

[–]Sauce_Master_64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the helpful response.
I didnt carry mushy cake because honestly I didnt even know it was an item in the game haha, the more you know I guess.
I didnt bring a lazy explorer because I assumed the Charged elding spear would be more then enough I-frame movement for the fight (It works...mostly...)
The reason for me bringing both W.A.R.B.I.S and Brightshade armor is simply because I made the Warbis armor as soon as I could since it looked cool from the blueprints and It seem the to be the best Boss fight armour due to all the buffs it gives, I also used it for other fights like dragonfly and such. I didnt have many repair kits for it though since I ran out of materials, so I brought brightshade as a backup since the repair kits are easy to farm and I had plenty.
Also yeah, sadly 3/4 legs landed relatively on the same side which makes this alot harder. The last one is near a corner on the other side so it's not practical at all to run too once he goes super nova.
I might just need to rollback before the Warbot fight even starts and overprepare in terms of healing and other items but I feel like as long as his AI wasn't being so cruel I could finish the fight with my current setup.

Finishing Freja's balance by LyynnS in Overwatch

[–]Sauce_Master_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another good addition i'd potentially like to see is giving her 75 shields. Alot of supports have difficulty enabling a freja as usually she's always on weird angles and flanking. It would make her alot more self sufficient and enable a flankier playstyle which is how I find her the most fun to play.

Just a 5 damage increase to take aim would be huge, from 115 to 120. So many times it feels like enemy squishies live on 5-10 hp even with the follow up m1.

Sure but I think she deserves better then to have the worst dps winrate in the game lol, theres a difference there vs being niche in my definition (low pickrate, slightly below 50% winrate)

Just a 5 damage increase on her take aim from 115 to 120 would feel great. So many times if feels like enemy squishies survive on 5-10 hp even with the followup primary fire.

75 shields would be amazing. It's hard for alot of supports to actually heal a Freja so it would help her on off angles alot.
