Hey! So, been playing my main boy Zenyatta again, loving him despite the huge drawbacks he has if your team is uncoordinated and doesn’t attack Discorded targets or come to your aid. A few changes to him I would like to see included his his ability to disengage a fight. Though I don’t believe he needs any mobility. What I would love for Zenyatta is one of two ideas.

1. Re-Work him like they did Mercy. Take his Ultimate, tune it down, and put a 20-30 second cool down on it. Replace his Ultimate with him being able to Harmony / Discord 3-5 Targets. So you have your choice to either throw multiple healing orbs at your teammates, multiple discord orbs at your foes, or mix and match as needed. Zenyatta should get his movement buff while in this mode.

2. A more simple solution...give him a new ability that allows him to disengage a fight. I call it Path of Pacifism. Zenyatta picks a target and both he and the target go into the air and are surrounded by light. While in this state neither Zenyatta nor his target receive any damage from outside sources and both are healed. Basically what I can see this doing for Zenyatta is allowing him to stop flankers in their tracks and allowing his team time to come to his location to assist him. If his team doesn’t get there it gives him a second chance to 1 v 1 his flanker on more even grounds. This is basically an escape that only really works if his teammates are paying him any sort of attention, but it also allows him to take a key enemy out of a team fight if possible. I could see this lasting 3 seconds max, though I’m not too sure if that’s enough.

Those are really my only ideas on how to necessarily buff him besides maybe giving him some quality of life buffs to help with coordination such as allowing his allies to see the discorded target like he can with the symbol over their head, allowing him to discord throat shields, and allowing him to keep Harmony Orb in his allies without needing to maintain line of sight. Would love to hear some of your thoughts on this, though I can imagine many people don’t believe he needs any tweaks. I just find it hard to believe he is able to compete with other healers such as Moira, Ana, and Brigette. Anyways, sorry if this went on or seemed unorganized. It’s my first time posting a concept here, though I typically enjoy brainstorming things like this for games I love.
