Needs to happen, she’s far too powerful.

You’re having trouble with a 200hp bubble?
Seriously?

It’s too small and colourless to see. How can we kill it?
Either don’t shoot it. Or if you know she will die break it and kill her.
If she’s got not charge she’s pretty useless. Like walking round trying to kill people with a wet noodle.

The HP isn’t the problem. It’s able to get spammed too many times in a short period and lasts ages if people don’t shoot it. But if people do shoot it, she becomes overpowered.

It only lasts 2 seconds.
Cool down of 8 seconds.
So there is a 10 second window, if you have the damage focus, as soon as she bubbles herself, call it and attack her.

Longer… Not to mention the use on other people
people don’t sometimes recognize how much those zarya bubbles does, but for some characters it’s really hard to do anything about them.
however i wouldn’t necessarily think you’d need to nerf the bubbles because there’s plenty of characters that pretty much laughs at those bubbles and keep going.
but if you’d had to nerf them there’s plenty of properties that could be looked at that isn’t how much those bubbles shield for or for how long that could probably stand to be experimented with.
for example zarya being the only tank being able to cleanse anas anti-nade is one of those aspects.
but yeah, i’m not really all that concerned about zarya bubbles.
No. It is 2 seconds.
Look it up. Or just count. Only 2 seconds.
Or I can help you here…

Although cool down for her personal barrier is 10 seconds. So you have a little longer to melt her.
All that is needed is to call out when you see certain bubbles used. If the Zarya is dumb enough to be aggressive and use bubbles, she is a free kill.
Problem is with the current insanly power creeped healing a bubble take someone from 1 hp to 100% hp no problems. Its a life saviour every time and removes so much pressure its insane. Zarya is on a constant 100 energy in games now days due to this sustain creep and she clearly was not balanced around it. It was supposed to be a last stand thing, a last effort to win the fight, now its a constant. So either nerf zarya and I know that sucks or reduce the healing creep further.
Zarya is pretty strong as of right now, but she can still be out ranged by a lot of things and, I don’t know your rank, but assuming it isn’t high, the Zaryas can be countered.
Even at her highest charge, she is easily out ranged.
Also, either don’t shoot the bubbles or if you do then make sure she died through focus fire.

And what made you assume that it isn’t high…?
Well playing in a team where people shoot her bubble but yeah. Her bubbles can stop ultimates n all sorts.
So are the other tanks?
His assumption probsbly comes from the subject of your complaint.
If you were high ranked, you wouldn’t think Zarya was too strong.
Being high ranked means Zarya isn’t strong…? She doesn’t change her tools from being in a different rank…
That’s the whole point of her projected bubble. It’s literally been that way since day one. It’s meant to save people from ults, hooks, pins, etc.
Zarya isn’t the easiest tank to play well so if someone is playing her correctly and paying attention to when their team mates get hooked or pinned by a charge and happen to save their lives with bubbles, then she deserves it.
If she was an easy tank to play and everyone could just play her and carry, then I’d agree that some nerfs would be necessary. The fact is in the wrong hands, Zarya is more of a liability than a helpful front line tank.

No. They just know she isn’t op. And to call out bubbles and only shoot if you have to/can kill her.
Ita weird that people want nerfs, when they actually just can’t do it themselves . Everything needs to be dumbed down apparently.
Practice and getting good will solve many problems.

What the hell does that mean.
Someone plays better than you. You cry “hero needs nerf”.
Rather than thinking about how you can improve to deal with it more consistently.
(You being a hypothetical person, not you specifically (don’t want you getting upset))
It’s a dangerous mentality. The sort the bleeds into people’s real lives. Why improve at your job when you can just cry about it till someone makes it easier for you.

Oh my god you’re at it again. How do you know someone played better than me? I play Zarya as my main off-tank and I know how powerful she is.
I’m going to tell you one more time, there are 5 other people on the team and I simply cannot control whether they hit her bubbles. Those other people can make her very very strong, I never hit her bubbles when she has it up obviously. So “PlaY bEtTeR” is another dumb comment from you that is out of my control.
Absolute tool.
