On live servers I ' ve already stopped playing zarya and swapped to D . va . I always passed her over but with the new buffs she ' s crazy . Unless zarya starts the fight already at 100 energy and I ' m distracted fighting someone else it ' s impossible for her to win . I don ' t even respect the shields any more I just eat right through them and kill her while she ' s reloading . That extra health and mobility didn ' t sound like much at first but it ' s huge in practice . I definitely don ' t see things getting better for zarya with more nerfs coming out . rein firestrikes and Winston lightning were some of the easiest ways to get charge and now the scenario I described above where she wins will be even less likely . requiring you to position poorly for her to win , not for her to really play well
