Sova nerf

Man why is Sova getting nerfed?

Drone is kinda justified but the shockdarts? Plus the new animation is going to kill lineups 🗿😭. This hurts as a Sova main.

Truth is Sova is pretty busted when you think about what he can pull off.
I do think he needed a nerf but I would have rathered a price increase to the shcokdarts instead of lowering damage.
That way well thought out shock darts would still be as impactful, but just throwing them around for fun and hoping for lucky damage would be less valuable/ waste of money.

I don't think sova is game breaking though? I don't know anyone who complains about him the way people did about jett knives etc. It's good to have a character like this to set a meta and to give direction to matches. Doesn't seem broken, but yes busted is true.

I think they just wanted to change the meta. With the Jett Nerf and Sova Nerf, it's going to be spicy.

I only found the ult to be kinda broken since you can kill someone behind the impenetrable walls. The shock darts are very situational, I think they overnerferd it a bit. The drone Nerf is good, I hope the price gets reduced atleast.

Lowering damage is the best thing to do imo, too often you would get too much damage by people who simply look up the sky, not even peek, and hope for the best

Im ok with the shock nerf but they need to roll back the old animation
So many lineups depend on the HUD and the bow being in the normal position
