Yo I really want feedback on this. Let me begin by saying I felt a sunbreaker nerf was necessary. Specifically cauterize was out of control. But the armor nerf and the offensive nerf (explosion size, travel speed, and tracking) combined seems like it really killed the super. I expect to die against FoH and nova bomb, those are shutdown supers. But now hammer of sol feels outclassed by every other super.
Golden gun: one shot death with no reaction time because of hit scan. Stormcallers I would generally trade in the past the supers felt balanced against eachother but now when a stormcaller closes I generally lose. Blade dancer take me out in two swings and i find it hard to take them out.
What am I missing? Are there counters that I'm just not thinking of? You can't really use hammer of sol from far away which could work because it's not too accurate and like I said, tracking and explosions got nerfed you really need to nail them with it.
Not to mention anyone with a sniper can shut you down.
And honestly I'm fine with having to have skill and work harder for kills and not letting it just mass murder people but you just die so easily you can't really expect me to bother to do that.
Hammer of sol even when over powered could be avoided and you could run away, but if you see a golden gun because it's hit scan you die instantly. It just feels like golden gun is the most efficient super in the game right now. And I'm not arguing for nerfs to any other supers, i just feel like sunbreaker is lower tier to basically all of them.
My final thought is, generally speaking I feel like if there's two supers, whoever spotted the other first will have an advantage, or whoever reacts first/quicker. But now with sunbreaker that just doesn't feel like the case, and I have what feels like zero chance if I didn't sneak up on them, or have a serious advantage.
Tl;dr how are other sunbreakers handling the nerf? Are you still doing well? What are your counters to other supers
Non sunbreakers: how do you feel when fighting sunbreakers are they easy to kill or killing you a lot?

Pre nerf storm callers took me out every time in close quarters. I think that one needed some tweaking too.
