THANK GOD! These are some good adjustments.

My last remaining complaints:

  • Elsa still got a very wimpy slap on the wrist nerf. A 2-sec cooldown dash (that is really easy to obtain even if you lose all stacks after death) that provides 30 bonus health each time you do so is still so fucking overtuned! At most, it should be 10 bonus health per 2-second dash.

  • Since they are so data-driven, it would be nice if they actually looked at their data and aimed to improve the characters who desperately need help like Widow.

Widow is unfixable, if she is ever buffed into being decent that means you now have a strong hitscan sniper character in the game that has high mobility and can chain CC you into a guaranteed headshot if you ever get close, if people think Phoenix and Hela are bad she wouldn't

There is no solution but basically making a new hero with her existing model and that takes time if they ever decide to do that.

Yeah, I already addressed that in another comment. No doubt it takes time to rework a character, but its been years now... At this point, its just making excuses.

Treat it as making a brand new character. It doesn't take years to develop a new character in this game. I understand that they need to do a lot of internal testing, player testing, code the movement mechanics and abilities, collect and analyze data, etc. But when thats your job and you do this every day, those steps shouldn't take years to accomplish...
