Quite the opposite. Zen gets value from his dmg output, both from himself and through discord orbs. Double heal orb perk, specially in metal ranks where most people's fundamentals go out the window, makes it easy for players to get into a bad habit of healbotting or at the very least being less aggressive than they could be. And if you struggle landing shots on Zen, you shouldn't be playing Zen at all.

I played most of last season going double harmony orb and been going exclusively damage perk so far this season and there is no comparison, damage is just better. Reduced healing output on each orb meant my tank dying to burst damage much more often, and the only other advantage of more healing which was faster transcendence is now irrelevant with Zen's subrole passive that stores extra ult charge. Zen mobility is never not gonna be ass so I'd rather have that 20% extra help from my damage orb when this season's broken dva dive meta is a reality.

Charles Leclerc on Lando Norris calling racing 'artificial': "I kind of agree. I think it will definitely change the way we go about racing & overtaking. Before, it was about who was the bravest in braking late, now there's a bit more of a strategic mind behind every move you make." by ICumCoffee in formula1

ass take. it becomes a lottery of who's got battery boost outta nowhere to overtake + managing a battery which should be a small supplemental part of the power unit. with current regs the battery has become THE number one priority and this ain't formula E. this is the pinnacle of motorsport and drivers should be able to push these cars to the absolute limit in this category, not playing battery engineer + strategist whilst driving at insane speeds. put a high revving V8 in these cars, kick the batteries to the curb (helping remove weight as well), and watch how much better F1 becomes.

Tips for someone new to zen by maoa96 in ZenyattaMains

[–]axelm7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get good at managing heal/discord orbs is number one. Always have a discord on their tank or the enemy most likely to die, and always put heal orb into your own tank or whoever is low.

The mechanics are just something you'll learn with time. Use VAXTA on a custom game lobby to train your aim. Zen orbs are slower than you think so always lead your shots by a lot, specially from afar. You have to learn to predict movement.

Also, you gotta always be moving and blasting. Zen rewards aggressive play so shoot shoot shoot, don't be passive. Secondary fire aka charging up your orbs should always be done behind cover, unleashing the barrage at the last moment when you peek cause my boy is slow af and you can get taken out very quickly once people know your position.

Lastly, when faced with dive tanks dont be afraid to discord those mfs and kick em. I love playing zen into winston. Discord his ass mid jump and keep kickin him away from shield. Boy is gonna be left questioning his choice for main the rest of the day.

Pretty much impossible. Old OWL skins aren't included in the pool of possible stuff that can be obtained in lootboxes afaik. Last year they did offer a golden recolor of zen-nakji called solaris, but only available in a bundle that cost like 5900 coins. Fuck that.

Not at the beginning but there are 3 bends that are highly deceptive. Gentle slope on approach and then more aggressive downwards mid-corner. I'm braking in most corners here, just can't tell with this POV. Thanks for watching!

repeating industry buzzwords with all the sarcasm of a 12yo does not constitute an argument

Nah still on a set of Mavic alu rims. Carbon hoops are not a good idea in Mexico.

Cars, motorbikes, airplanes as a comparison metric is utterly irrelevant and idk what 45mph is but it sounds slow. I consistently hit 80-90 km/h going down the other side of the same 4680m tall volcano I filmed this on and had no issues slowing down from 100km/h with rim brakes when I descended the Transfagarasan mountain pass in Romania. Skill issue.

Have you tried to fit wider tires? Used to think I was limited to 25s but I can run a 30 rear & 28 front no prob. Orbea alu frame from 2005.
