@HeartQueen Don't forget how they essentially made Gourd Damba totally busted. Seriously, DOUBLED HEALING? What were they thinking? And what are they thinking not to have nerfed it yet? Seriously, every other game I play in PTS I see a Gourd Damba and they always have absurd healing numbers. Gourd with that talent literally has a consistent, decently long lasting 600 healing per second, much better than most supports had access to on higher cooldowns before Caut got nerfed...
But I will say Archi Barik is SOOO GOOD. Like, busted good if played by a competent player. It honestly feels too good... Like outdealing your entire team by 30k most games, while having a low KDA and everything else good...
Archi Barik was never really bad, just tinkering was more useful for consistent damage and zoning. Archi just needed a slight buff, bulldozer nerf and a slow along with the extra damage, and it would be on the level of tinkering pre-nerf. The problem was that they nerfed tinkering way to hard. I liked going Tinkering against burst damagers, Grohk, Khan, and Fernando. Burst damage, Grohk, and Fernando will destroy your turrets anyway, so might as well take the flat damage. Tinkering enables me to out trade Khan for damage and sustain. They should have nerfed Tinkering's damage to 500 a shot and be done with it.
Tinkerin didn't even need much of a nerf... A little extra fall-off and a little less damage would have been alright... But now it's a straight-up handicap...
As for Archi, IMHO with dozer nerfs, it didn't even really need much of a buff to begin with. It's actually decent on live if you know what you're doing. But on PTS it's just busted. Though I am very happy about the indirect Fortify buffs, and Fortify might be an OK second option for Barik, but it can't compete with a 5s turret cooldown (with One Man's Scrap 3, after you put down a couple) and massive point pressure from the 48 additional DPS. Not to mention, the turret cards are just insane right now...
