Freja is consistently the second weakest dps in the game rn (by winrate), but she does improve in high ranks. She feels bad to play against due to high burst damage, and some would also say high mobility but I think that is less true for most players. I made a list of buffs that I would like to see to round out Freja make her feel better to play, and make her better in lower ranks so she doesn’t feel useless there. Also, right now Freya is all about taking him and all of her abilities work around that. These changes would help make her less reliant on one part of her kit. Also her perks are terrible a literal joke and make her scale bad further into the match. I don’t think all of these are necessary for Freya to be good, but I would love to see some of these changes.
225hp —> 250
- This will let Freja take longer engages and a way to buff her while rounding out her kit
Reduce take aim stick damage by 10 (hot take)
- I would only do this if they increase her health because of how massive the 25hp buff would be, and I belive this would also take away the 2 tap on 225
Freja: Rejuvenating updraft —> When you use updraft begin regenerating shields until you hit the ground, transform 125 Health —> Shields
- this is similar to pharah, and this slight change would allow Freja to re-engage enemies faster and less reliant of healers
Freja: Change double updraft perk —> Every 3rd primary fire 3 additional shots in a large spread but each shot deals 65% reduced damage
-this would increase Freja close range ability, this choice would push Freja to get closer to her enemies, wich would make other close range charcters who feel they cannot interact w Freja because of her insane range now be in more situations to interact with her
Reduce dash cooldown to 4s
- this is to allow Freja to use dash for mobility more often without feeling punished for not being able to combo take aim
Allow for abilities to be used during Bola (her ult)
-this would make the ultimate less telegraphed and more fluid
Increase take aim aoe size
- this would make missing her take aim less punishing
Reduce updraft cooldown to 10s
- there is no reason for it to be 12s it feels so bad rn
Freja: Ammo Recovery perk —> Bola pulls in enemies even without sticking
-this I’m less sure about but it would help combo with the aoe from take aim more consistently and help her out in lower ranks
