Can we BAN AND REMOVE ZARIA

[KING JULIEN]

Its the most unfair character in the entire game. Like why does the bubble make her invincible?

Just wait for it to run out. If you don't shoot her during bubble, she doesn't get any charge.

You know a hero is unfun when your way to counter her is to run away or not shoot her.

-What if she knows how to spread the bubbles perfectly where it seems like its infinate?
-What if she has really good healers?
-What if she knows how to protect her healers?

Remove tank and support and just make it valorant already.

That's obviously what the balance is shifting towards.

Switch to Reinhardt. Zarya is strong though, I play her quite a bit and you really can just walk at people with her shields especially if you have good healers behind you, but if they switch to Reinhardt you're basically forced to switch off Zarya.

I'm going to add to this, if you and your team can burst her down during bubble downtime, you absolutely should shoot her bubbles. That's why Bastion is good against Zarya. If you just don't shoot Zarya's bubbles, then you run into situations where she can just cycle her bubbles and become a menace. You absolutely should shoot her bubbles if, and only if, you are confident you or your team can burst her down quickly when that bubble drops

Bait out the bubbles. They can't be spammed one after the other, even with both charge if its the same type of bubble. And the cooldown for a charge is quite lengthy. Your best bet otherwise would be to burst down the bubble fast if you know you can kill her, or simply poke at range. Zarya only has two things she can toss at you from a distance, and both of them can be seen a mile away.

Edit: Also, support nerfs are coming real soon. So supports are gonna have to try way harder in a fight.

I think she's weak to burst damage (for example, widow headshots).
Unfortunately, I'm tank more often than not, and there's not really a good way to counter her using another tank (that's not zarya)

It's funny because some of her best counters- discord and anti nade just got mega nerfed

It's pretty much going to exclusively be up to high accuracy DPS doing burst crits when bubble is down.

This game is insane.

Can't she just bubble out of both of those? Even if she can't that's still not really a hard counter like zarya is for dva

Sure, in lower ranks you use those while she still has bubbles left, but if you wait until she uses the bubble and then anti her it's bye bye z

This strat absolutely requires the team to follow up though, which is a dice roll at best in solo queue

Then it becomes a cat and mouse game of cooldowns which ana just lost a ton of edge in with reduced anti cool down.
Now the window of zarya not having bubbles and nade being up will be miniscule unless you wait for it, which means anti loses value in other places.

Tanks just got a huge win. A double edged one because anti can't save their butt either

This all applies to zen orbs too, but it's even worse for him because you can't re apply discord to a target for 7 seconds. Zarya specifically gets a huge bonus there

This is just ♥♥♥♥ advice, the charcters rotations are absurd now with how she functions you are dead waiting the bubbles out because even at 0% charge she can waste you before you wait out 3 bubbles. Also this mentality is what leads to people refusing to shoot her when the opportunity to team fire is there.
