Level 7
That was my favorite talent. Despite having low win-rate, Activision keep beating the nail deeper until nobody plays her anymore.
The ultra-minor number buffs doesn’t hide nor compensate for Samaara’s Light lost. Especially now that everyone has 10% movement speed bonus. Funny how Lucio’s overpowered aoe speed buff did not get nerfed.
It’s not like anyone is ever going to manually charge Righteous Hammer. ![:man_shrugging:](https://d3rakab8gpdsa3.cloudfront.net/en/heroes/images/emoji/twitter/man_shrugging.png?v=6" ":man_shrugging:")
Righteous Momentum buff trying to compensate the lost of Samaara’s Light is beyond ridiculous. It’s like cutting someone’s right arm, but saying : ‘‘We painted your left arm’s nails in compensation. Why are you so salty ?’’

I feel you. I also had this with Artanis duo swap
There’s two other movement speed talents on that tier and both are better, so it was good to remove that one.
Exactly! She needed the nerf because she’s extremely overpowered. One time in a game I was sitting in a bush for 10 minutes arguing with my teammates about the value of patience when yrel was chasing my Valla teammate into the same bush I was occupying.
Anyway so Yrel jump up in the air and hit Valla and somehow also knocked me out of stealth too which is beyond OP, I mean she couldn’t even see me, I was completely invisible! I know I was because I sat in that bush for 10 minutes not moving a muscle!
There’s no way Yrel should be able to knock Valeera out of stealth like that, especially with a big dumb hammer when I have two poison tipped daggers that could stab her multiple times in the neck and kill her before she could even lift that dumb hammer.
TL;DR this is a good step in the right direction to balance Yrel, but Blizzard needs to do more to bring her in line.

new hammer move speed is cray cray, I can’t be mad
I play her a lot in QM. I haven’t noticed a big difference.
Yrel is my main bruiser hero (lv 51 at the moment) and the removal of Samaara’s Light is really nothing bad at all.
The fact you can now use Hand of Freedom on yourself, and Righteous Hammer incorperating a passive 5% speed buff AND full speed buff right off the bat when charging, compensates plenty in my opinion.
In all the games I have played I have rarely found Samaara’s Light to be more useful and found the other 3 talents significantly better all around.
The only situation where Samaara’s Light shined was with plenty of heals against a low-damage enemy comp, so you could stick indefinitely and stay above 50% hp all the time.
Considering how many people despise hammer I wouldn’t be surprised if someone is really mad about this.
That should have dropped you from the match for afk… so probably not a true story 
Instant mount is better and let’s ignore hand of freedom that became self castable.
10 mins… in a bush… doing NOTHING, and WAITING?
I wish all valeeras r like you - Sincerely LI MING.
Erm it was nerfed since his rework it used to be faster.
Well, they can’t all be perfect.
This thread is nuts.
Yrel got buffed on almost every talent tier, but no, let’s complain that the worst talent on a tier got baked into another one.
Honestly what is really wrong with that tbh, they literally made her 5% faster all the time for a tank lol.
This is one of the funniest things I’ve read this week. Well done!
Is basically the only thing I remembered about her change because it’s so amazing I’m probably never taking another level 4 talent.
As for Samaara’s Light, that was the only talent on that tier I never picked. So…sorry for your loss?
I mean I guess I will miss running around with the hammer fully charged instead of mounting, but not all that much since a majority of the time I just take instant mount anyway.
