Did Blizzard go too far?: Learning Zenyatta || Overwatch
4Every patch I'll be doing a few small videos on whether or not Blizzard went too far with their buffing or their nerfs.
In this video I take a look at Zenyatta, give my opinion on why they did buff him too much and what they could do to possibly make him a bit more even!
Patch notes here:
-- Zenyatta --
Base shields increased by 50 (now 50 Health/150 Shield)
Orb of Discord and Orb of Harmony:
Projectile speed has been increased from 30 to 120
Transcendence:
Movement speed is now doubled upon activation
Healing amount increased from 200 to 300 health per second
Developer Notes: While Zenyatta has never had the healing abilities of Lúcio or Mercy, he made up for it by dealing more damage. However, his lack of mobility and low health has meant he’s struggled to find a place in many games. To increase his effectiveness, we’ve made several changes, the biggest of which is an increased shield pool. This will allow him to go head-to-head with more enemies. The Orb of Harmony and Discord changes are also a quality of life change, helping Zenyatta move his orbs around and apply their effects more quickly. And lastly, we’ve increased Transcendence’s healing throughput. This ultimate was designed to be the most effective against sustained, high-damage fire and least effective against short, high-damage bursts (like D.Va’s or Junkrat’s ultimates). But, due to the amount of healing it provided, there were times when it was possible for even sustained fire to overcome Transcendence’s output. We’ve made the heal powerful and also allowed Zenyatta to move around more quickly while it’s active.
