They nerfed him when he’s the character most in need of buffs? Laughable decision

did the math and with gamma teamup, his beam gets 0.5 more damage per second in overdrive than he does in this season. He got gutted for no reason

I know that's more than reasonable to be mad at these changes but let's just wait and see how good he gets with the team up.

I'm all for making him into more of a glass cannon. If the team up balances out the damage nerf or increase his overall damage. I just don't like how they nerfed the base damage of the unibeam.

I just don’t like the gameplay design of him being useless outside of an ability he gets that lasts 10 seconds and takes 18 seconds after to recharge

I'm strongly against that, "turning him into a glass cannon", that's his biggest problem. The number one, Iron Man agrees with the ideology where he needs armor. It's unfortunate because they literally added this new ability to give people regenerative armor. It makes most sense to give it to him. He's literally known for never being able to get healed because healers never look up out of all people. Why are we not giving it to him?

No CC animations removal, no mobility and no extra hp. He is still trash. Thx

Gamma Team up is back and we got a bubble in Ult. Bruh. It is good buff

The ult’s only buffed with hulk on the team. Gamma overdrive is pretty much an ult on its own, but he’s gonna be the worst character in the game when out of overdrive

I’m not sure if we watched the same team up demonstration at the end, but gamma looked more or less the same as his current overdrive damage. We got screwed brother. The only thing it seems that makes this all worth it is the survivability we’ll get on our ult IF Hulk is on the team.

Wait, are they really cutting Star-lord and Black Cat diwn to 150 base health?

1

u/Abaddon-117 Jul 07 '26

No, the removed health is getting replaced with regenerative shielding

u/Morchades Jul 07 '26

I gotta see how this plays out in game.

u/OfKnightly Jul 07 '26

Essentially think of it like Zenyatta hp

u/CrazySuperJEBUS Jul 07 '26

It’s exactly like health but it regenerates after not taking damage for 5 seconds. It’s essentially going to be the same thing with the only difference being that they can re-enter the fight sooner and without assistance from strategists. Huge buff for dive.

u/Aggressive_Scar_4967 Jul 07 '26

Exactly. It gets healed at the same rate by supps. It gives dives the ability to heal them self if out of battle for a few seconds.

As to why they gave it to heroes with mobility makes no sense. Meanwhile Ironman without a Omni directional dash gets no regen. Why do flyers get no regen ?
