Is she underrated though? Who is underrating her? Just Grubby? Who cares?
Idiots will rage at anything and everything. Why would that matter? It’s just the typical blame the healer-gimmick of tunnelvisioning clueless idiots.
I know I don’t underrate her. Her polymorph is a gamechanger against divers. She’s a global healer. Both her ults are viable and strong and emerald winds can be a gamechanger. Particularly for boss steals.
All this “Everyone is underrating x hero” and such is getting kinda repetitive.
Because her healing is unreliable
Her hypershift is basicly a ancestral, you never know if your the one getting it, or a random teammate. Her passive heals too low, except when she hits a lot of Q’s which is difficult
It’s more reliable than most other heroes. BW’s heals comes out at teh same intervals, every single time. That’s as reliable as reliable can get if you ask me.
Brightwing’s constant healing ends up being a lot. i’ve observed that from ARAM where her healing has a good chance to shine as aoe healing.
Again, this is kinda a tyrande-healer comparison thing. Their deal is more than about the healing itself and more about the utility they provide. BW’s CC is far superior to Kharazim’s CC, for instance. (since he doesn’t have a ny).
In a different comparison, Ana has a lot of healing. But Ana is very weak, particularly against divers, and can do little against something like a Genji dropping on her. BW would just eat Genji instead.
But thats not a real heal, thats a tickle that only gives a small portion of your health
She heals 104 health, average assassin has around 1500 health, that is 14 times, so 60s if she sucks at her Q or has nothing around
Average tank is around 2500 health that is 24,7 times her passive heal
Her healing comes from Z Q or R1. Before 10 she doesnt have a lot going on for. Which is horrible for maps where there is a lot of fighting.
She shines on dragon shire and Warhead tho
She should preferably be using Z on the tanks as that is % healing. And she’ll slowly but surely heal up her team while preventing the worst case scenario.
I mean, Uther isn’t much different at all in this comparison of yours. His healing is also terrible. Often times when I play with an Uther healer, especially on ARAM, so do you not get your health topped. Often times half the team is running around with 50-70% hp and we have to fight like that. But it works because Uther is about armor on heals, stuns and soaking damage himself as a semi tank, and not about providing lots of “reliable heals”
Brightwing is the same. She actually does something. She doesn’t just stand waaaay back and spews out lots of heals but not much else.
Brightwing is a hero that doesn’t need a constant guard unlike other heroes like Ana. Ana has little ways of self preservation when she needs it aside from sleep dart. And if she misses that, she is completely screwed without assistance.
Brightwing on the other hand can polymorph, slow with Q, speed herself up with E and spellarmor up as well and she can blink around or use emerald winds at 10. She can also use her Z as an escape at times.
Let me give you some visuals aides:
Can Ana or Morales do this?
Wont catch this BW so easily.
Also, and just a personal opinion, but BW has one of the strongest level 20’ties in the game: 20% permanent movement speed increase.
I know the irony of saying this considering what I just said earlier, but that talent is so underrated!
Joking aside i have to agree with narha here. Good brightwings/rehgar will time their z/ancestrals so that they aren’t unreliable. Though its hard to find many brightwings who could. She also used to be alot easier to play before the rework and i think that throws people off.
And if I had the choice, I’d choose an unreliable BW over an unreliable Ana. Atleast the constant healing from BW is something you can rely on and BW wont miss her polymorphs.
Meanwhile an unreliable ana could be missing 80% of the heals and hitting no sleep darts and takes the level 1 stacking quest so just keeps walking close and getting caught. And forgets to heal because too busy on stacking.
And as a bonus, uses nano on Illidan instead of Li Ming.
I had something like that earlier in an ARAM. THe heals were decent… enough… but for some reason she kept nano’ing Greymane instead of the completely oom KTZ. Until I asked about it, anyway.
And this is why you dont pick Ana in solo queue
She has deliberation dart and is quite a duelist , not in the sence that she is winning but she can stall long enough for an ally to help you repeel the diver
BW is great with Poly and yes she is quite useful because of that, but we were talking raw healing. In all your vids you showed your battle BW not the healer
(You did great dont get me wrong)
To me, this seems like you’re opposing Lyras, saying that BW sucks, because her healing is unreliable. Trait healing is weak, her Z healing is unreliable because of idiots and her Q is a hard skillshot, is what you say.
I argued that she isn’t unreliable as a healer because her strength doesn’t lie in heal output, but in her various utilities. Such as the obvious CC of Polymorph, to her global presence of her Z, to her potential as a team-wombo-combo with Emerald WInds or SIlence on Q’s at 16.
But if your point was only comparing healing output, like who would win in a pure healing competition, then yeah ana would win. But I really don’t think that we were discussing who was the better or inferior healer based purely on healing numbers.
Even if it’s not solo queue, this part of ana becomes a liability. Instead of assisting on the offensive, the tanks or o ther assassins now have to run around to peel for Ana. Compared to if you had a Brightwing who can handle it herself.
Who could be totally in the thick of the combat and delivering strong utility while constantly putting out a flow of healing to nearby alllies.
No im saying her healing is too low to be reliable. Why would you play her on volskaya , braxis, hanamura or battlefield? Almost nobody does because she lacks heals
BW loses against this hard because people need real healing not 104 health back on a passive
Ive admidded she has that so why keep bringing it back up?
But what are your allies doing besides the tank? Nobody likes someone on their healer, ana has 3 defensive tools vs divers. Ofcourse BW poly is more reliable
