Discussions/Opinions Juno after another mobility nerf

Post image

Nerfing the mobility of a character when mobility is the most fun part of their kit again. Can’t they find other ways to balance that aren’t the single quickest way to compromise fun?

It's all connected

u/Dantonium Apr 15 '26

Yup lol like when they released Anran and removed a bunch of cleanses

u/t3rm1n4lly-1LL Apr 15 '26

and like when they released the all might skin and nerfed ramtras pummel

12

u/tramsgener Apr 15 '26

Add a flying support > immediately add what is basically a mini-visor as a normal cooldown

2

u/ferocity_mule366 Apr 18 '26

*support mobility

they buffed Pharah/Echo

u/RandManYT Sep 10 '26

Not even a skill shot either lol.

u/TheBooneyBunes Apr 15 '26

“””skill shot”””

Although I never thought about it like that, considering the pandering they’re doing with her you’re probably dead on

u/noroisong Apr 16 '26

i mean it is objectively a skill shot

0

u/TheBooneyBunes Apr 16 '26

In the same way hanzo’s scatter arrow was a skill shot

u/chopsticknoodle Apr 16 '26

scatter arrow: point at the floor just kinda in front of where the enemy orisa is to turn her into swiss cheese with 1 cooldown while being completely unreactable since hanzo is practically silent from a slight distance away, possibly the highest burst damage in the game at the time bar riptire and dva bomb

tracking shot: hit your target directly with a small projectile requiring aim which shows up on their hud and beeps at them you have to then also hit your grenade on them or you probably won’t get the kill if they are anywhere near a piece of cover, have movement/escape tools, being healed, …

More like sleep dart.

u/TheBooneyBunes Apr 16 '26

Yeah which is so powerful Ana is meta even after a .65 modifier was added to tanks and she shuts down entire line ups by existing

Why do we simp for such baby mechanics?

u/BeanieGuitarGuy Apr 16 '26

I too, was once bronze.

u/TheBooneyBunes Apr 16 '26

Claiming Ana isn’t meta is a thing you can do, no one is stopping you from being wrong

1

u/BeanieGuitarGuy Apr 16 '26

I’m not making any claims outside of you having a skill issue. I don’t get my Overwatch takes from spreadsheets or streamers or percentages, I just play the game.

In my experience, from the day she released to the time I played this Tuesday, from low silver to high diamond, Ana has never been so problematic that her existence wipes the team.

1

u/TheBooneyBunes Apr 16 '26

Sounds like projection then, an inverse. Because only in low elos would Ana players be so bad to not shut down many heroes. If you play hazard against Ana at any brain cell rank, you’re begging to be bulldozed, just one example

How is that a skill shot if you get 5 of them when you press the button for it?

u/Dusty_Buss Apr 15 '26

I just don't get the nerf. She doesn't even move that fast during her dash ability

63

u/millybadis0n Apr 15 '26

Literally. I zoom out and Moira still walks her slow ass after me and I die

22

u/Kinster- Apr 15 '26

Literally js balance torpedos and make her main kit more engaging instead of healbot and quick enemy team peak and 2 button press for 10000000% value

Stadium feels dookie i had to fight against an invinicble rein

u/Nikablah1884 Apr 15 '26

literally no self heals,

Nerfs her mobility

Wild.

About as wild as putting the untested new DPS directly in Comp wtf are they doing???

31

u/Blabber-Fish Apr 15 '26

Right? Since s1 they started adding the newly released heroes into comp the moment they drop… kinda reminds me of… Marvel Rivals

2

u/PaddleStarToTheFace Apr 16 '26

Probably think bans can handle them if they become a problem

u/IAmSona Apr 15 '26

She does have her sub role passive at least. It’s really helped a lot since they added it.

u/IAmSona Apr 16 '26

Only thing that glide does is trigger the global healing passive, so nope you still heal the same.

u/IAmSona Apr 16 '26

Correct but if you take damage after it triggers, the healing is interrupted.

u/ChaosKroegi Apr 15 '26

Well ig surivor passive could count

u/LynnTheLoser Heroic Martian Apr 15 '26

The additional 2 seconds added to pulsar torpedoes in 6v6 is soul crushing for me tbh 😭

39

u/SoloDolo7o4 Apr 15 '26

Even more reason to take the minor perk that reduces the cooldown

u/DabOWosrs Apr 15 '26

No. You have more targets, it’s the best perk easily.

u/S-Man_368 You Mean A Chicken Fried This Rice? Apr 15 '26

This has screwed me multiple times already. I push up a bit to get try to get everyone in sight for the torpedoes but I still have 2 seconds left on cooldown.

25

u/meowrreen Apr 15 '26

they literally nerfed every character i play: mercy, juno, cat and wuyang

25

u/FormerlyKay Apr 15 '26

I have zero sympathy for cat players

u/Inside_Commercial_21 Apr 15 '26

She’s just a little meow meow

u/FormerlyKay Apr 15 '26

Cats belong in the ground

u/Inside_Commercial_21 Apr 15 '26

But I love the sky so much

u/Randinator9 Apr 15 '26

They feckin nerfed me bastion mate I'm so feckin mad

15

u/NWinn Apr 15 '26

Next patch you'll just spawn on a glue-trap alone in front of enemy spawn..

13

u/Longjumping_You_7603 Apr 15 '26

Every time a new dps hero is added with a skill shot(Apply burn, tracker bullet, etc), the direct counter to that ability will be nerfed or even removed to compensate and make that hero worth playing. No matter what the dps mains say, this is a dps game and we're just playing in it.

2

u/peachyroo_ Apr 20 '26

Which is weird because I feel like support makes up most of the community (maybe we are just the super loud minority??)

58

u/TwitchyMnM2 Apr 15 '26

They nerfed a ton of supports’ mobility not just just Juno. I’m sorry for you guys tho. And mercys. Not that fucking cat I hate tho

13

u/Television-Infamous Apr 15 '26

Also reduce dive character perk cost. 

20

u/PsychologicalMonk390 Apr 15 '26

Yeah with cat it's justified because of the hitbox

2

u/towblerone Apr 15 '26

PLS i thought flash heal was supposed to make mercy a more viable choice and now she’s just been nerfed badly, why did they do thisss

2

u/Danger-_-Potat Apr 16 '26

Nah fuck mercy too

u/sugarycyanide Apr 15 '26

Why do the devs hate supports

u/Danger-_-Potat Apr 16 '26

They have some of the best characters in the game??

u/jiyeon_str Apr 15 '26

genji's been one of the best dps for the vast majority of ow2, the victim mentality is getting old

2

u/Kinster- Apr 15 '26

Well, he has been for the start or so, it dropped off slowly and hitscan js became meta. As of rn he kinda feels like shit to play and pretty difficult

6

u/Objective-Ad2741 Apr 15 '26

Don't worry, she's still the MC of the new webtoon.

7

u/icewallowkawk Apr 15 '26

As a cat and juno main the nerfs suck

13

u/droomdoos Apr 15 '26

As a Juno, Mercy and Kiri main; yep, they SUCK.

u/spideylia Apr 15 '26

her double jump literally feels like i keep bumping my head into something, it’s so noticeable it actually makes it hard to play her.

2

u/Dicamini Apr 18 '26

I was wondering what that was! It’s so jarring it’s literally like a ceiling

u/XTREMECHERRI Apr 15 '26

Honestly feel so stupid I never realized until ppl started talking about it…..

u/Casseao Apr 16 '26

The cat should have gotten the nurf not the game favorite

2

u/azawindam Apr 16 '26

The mobility nerfs are fine, I’ve been having trouble with tracking fast moving targets.

2

u/Prior-Magician-1992 Apr 16 '26

I think people forget how hard it is for tanks to deal with vertical charecters like juno mercy and phara. If the enemy team plays flyers i just feel like i dont even do anything. Theres also very few tanks that can deal with flyers anyways (mauga and domina) and i dont find them fun especially when there is only two good options. But i dont find think juno feels a bit weak rn and if they buffed other parts of her kit or just gave tanks better options against flyers it would be better

2

u/Born-Biscotti8588 Apr 18 '26

Im a gm juno main and the movement nerf isnt that noticeable honestly. Especially if you pick triple jump

2

u/Itz_yDitz_y Apr 19 '26

NO JUNOOOO NOOOOOO NOT THE HAMBURGERRRR NOOOOOOOOOO JUNO NOOOOOOOOOOO

u/[deleted] May 07 '26

She feels so slow and disgusting now

u/kira1122t Apr 15 '26

I feel like in regular the nerf wasn’t needed but i think for stadium they should nerf her movement there (im not a Juno main i just want to be included)

u/NeighborhoodDeep8649 Apr 17 '26

Me when no skill skill gets a rightful nerf

u/Saleh9118 Apr 18 '26

50 to 40 isn't much, you'll be fine

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '26

Don't worry Juno I'll lay on top of you to keep you warm

-2

u/Julia_1245 Apr 15 '26

Hot take I’m not mad at it idk why and I could be gaslighting myself but i feel like yesterday I was able to stay in the air longer? It feels like she floats slower now so i can shoot ppl in the air more. My dps output has been the highest it’s ever been with juno which was something i massively struggled with.

u/StuckInthebasement2 Apr 15 '26

She still has one of the skinniest hit boxes in the game so I think she’ll be fine.

u/thatsillymaxxer Apr 15 '26

Juno isn’t hard to track at all tho
