Only agent that can heal everyone yet she’s getting nerfed to the ground. Meanwhile Reyna can heal to 150 hp almost instantly after a kill... I don’t get it

Edit: I was wrong about sages winrate but her pickrate is still stupid high

You're not wrong about sage's winrate - she's been the highest winrate agent by a fairly large margin in all patches but one since release, and she was a very close second on that patch. Her winrate is higher than we're comfortable with, and her pickrate is also substantially higher than any other agent in the game, hence the nerfs.

We tried small nerfs in earlier patches, but they barely moved the needle - after these land, we'll see where she's at and then make changes as needed.
