Raze and Killjoy nerfs

The Killjoy nerfs make sense, but why are they nerfing Raze's boom bot? The duelist class is so one-sided to Jett right now, this is not the way to balance it.

i don't think it's one sided to jett at all, since raze is still really strong, and with the current map pool, fracture, split are played with raze (or neon) primarily; with haven, icebox and pearl as very capable map for raze, also with lotus with a main control battle which requires lots of util.

Jett was basically gone from Haven and Icebox and wasn't seeing any play on Pearl. Those 3 maps have been taken over by Jett since the Chamber nerfs, so I have to disagree, we have a Jett problem (again).

you are right, im not saying jett is bad on those maps, im just saying teams can play raze on those maps and i dont think we would have a problem with it apart from not having an op agent. while playing jett on maps that raze is great on may cause some problems

Although I agree Raze is overall still very good, curretnly Sova is a must-have on Haven because Killjoy is (and still will be) the main sentinel pick, so the Raze/Fade combo will be on a disadvantage in comparison to Jett/Sova, and you'll lose the Operator power on defense

you are right with that point. I only said raze can be a capable duelist on haven, i do think jett is a better choice now with the chamber nerf and kj's pickrate. one thing that i think is underrated about raze is that she has the best retake util for a duelist, while losing op power sucks, having better retake util goes a long way. also you dont necessary need the raze/fade combo if ur controller is astra since astra's gravity well can act as the fade's seize in that fade/raze combo. you can have comp as raze sova breach astra kj, losing some offensive power without omen's flash, but having astra on defense

Even as Killjoy player I like the kj nerfs. Turret is such a good ability and her ult is really impactful as well. Raze nerfs make no sense to me though. Especially because boombot goes straight meaning that it bounces from wall to wall usually so you can't even clear that much with it compared to like Fade prowler etc.
