I gotta ask… was this a necessary buff?

This is me not touching my controller at all aside from the trigger.

Obviously in a real game it isn’t going to be this easy, but at this point it just feels like Bap is better than a good half of the DPS roster. Great damage output, better self sustain than any DPS but tracer, better mobility than half the DPS, better ult than half the DPS, etc etc.

I really have no idea why this buff was necessary. He already had damage significantly higher than the average Support. The only competition he really had was Illari and Zen, maybe Juno. I encourage anyone to just try Bap’s ranged damage output and compare it to Soldier and Cass. Soldier’s gun is impossible to control unless you’re shooting short bursts at that range. Cass’s range falloff starts like half as far as Bap, to the point that his shots barely tickle enemies at that range.

I’m cool with Support being able to do enough damage to be able to defend themselves, but this was way too far. Nap could already farm average elo lobbies by just ignoring his role as support and going for kills. I’m a tank main and never played comp Support, yet I got to Diamond 3 one tricking bap within a few days during S10. Bap did not need buffs, and the last thing he needed buffs to was his gun.
