Just want to acknowledge the design on Illari’s perks. I think she’s low-key a great example of perk design among the supports. I typically go for Summer Solstice/Sunburn but just played a game with a Zombra harassing me so I went with the instant pylon minor perk to help with sustain. I was able to adapt to the game on the spot and using Sunburn feels so much like the hero’s fantasy being so powerful.
It’s also nice to spend more time flying and getting to make a hard to use ultimate a bit easier. Not as much use out of the overfill perk but I guess that caters to more healbot focused players or the games where Mauga or a bad positioning Rein drains your heals hard. Anyway, kudos devs!

Illari got the proper treatment with Perks. She has some of the best Perk’s in the game right now. Her extended Summer Solstice Perk is my favorite. Very useful in combat!

She has my favorite set of perks in the game. I rotate between them often depending on the enemy’s comp or what mode I’m in.
At first I wasn’t a fan of the extra heal charge either, but after realizing damaging made her charge faster on empty too I came around to using it more often.

Her perks might be okay on a conceptual level, but I’m not sure the power level is high enough (and frankly I think she already needed buffs before this season).
At the very least, I think her minor pylon perk should also reduce cooldown for repositioning, not just cooldown after it’s destroyed. I only played with her ultimate-adjusting minor perk once…I just don’t see it as impactful enough. Granted, I’m not overly impressed by most of the ult-changing minor perks they introduced for that reason.

I agree with this regarding the pylon change. I frequently pass over the ult upgrade perk because it’s sooooo situation specific to even get the un-perked ult to pop off. Cleansing, shield blocking, absorbing, fading, ice blocking. Millions of ways to cancel it already.

Illari’s perks are good.
Summer Solstice & Sunburn are my go to.
I’m a Zen main. The kick is good. The rest can work, but I’m not thrilled by them.
His minor for hover is clunky at best.
