Illari Nerfs (Leak)

General Discussion
1

Disclaimer: No real way of knowing if these are legit or not and even then Devs made plans to make her current nerfs on the way less lethal so regardless these aren’t exact.

Healing Pylon
Healing reduced from 40/s to 30/s
Recovery increased from 0.8s to 0.9s
Shield Health Decreased from 75 to 50

Captive Sun
Impact and Explosion now blocked by barriers
Sunstruck duration reduced from 7s to 5s
Decreased the duration over which the slow decays from 7s to 4s

Hopefully these aren’t legit even if reduced because she felt pretty balanced with slight power problems and these nerfs would be dreadful

EDIT: The Health Nerf is confirmed as in Contenders her Pylon has 125hp

I think these were originally planned but they toned them back. Personally speaking, i agree with reducing the hp/shields on pylon and barriers blocking captive sun.
The rest might be a bit too much.

No compensation to rmb for pylon nerf

Dot proc time reduced by 2 secs even though it’s blocked by everything.

Yaaaah they killed her lol

I agree that Pylon had power problems but that comes at the cost of easier countering in the form of a stationary turret, so, solution was a HP nerf but the rest on top of that? That’s just overkill…

I KNOW. She was overtuned but nothing crazy…like small powershifts and BOOM fixed.

They should atleast buffed her alt if they are nerfing pylon.

Except for going through shield. None of those are needed.

at least i can just use her in quickplay for dpsing
Her rank potential in plat is pretty much over.

If they leave pylon hps as is and just reduce its hp/shield, i dont think it needs a compensation buff on her alt fire. She already does 120 hps burst and is playing pseudo dps most of the time anyway.

9

If they leave the HP/S alone then sure, but if it’s nerfed, I want the recharge rate to be a bit faster as compensation

10

these seem like perfect nerfs it moves her more in line with other supports sustained hps. and her ult will still be good

120 HPS with limited resource.

Meanwhile, moria has a E taht heals the whole team at once without LMB destroying it.
And her resource pool is huge and easy to control. I can heal Infinitely almost all the time.

pylon healing nerf without fixing RMB is just awful.

As cosmic pointed out, faster recharge rate s should improve it.

Moira also cant click heads and 2 tap squishies.

13

Illari has achieved the fun status like Ana. So i m sure they will keep her in the upper echelon of supports.

14

2 tap players who cannot kill support in 4-6secs not including MISSES.

Moria dps E and LMB – with self-healing and no missing worries. Ultimate also can wipe teams. I find moria more oppressive than this new champ.

15

Moira is only oppressive for low rank play mainly but Ana and Zenyatta can delete players quicker without a charge delay. Illari does what? 75 damage on a charged body shot, doesn’t Ana deal 70

16

lmao tbh even plat players die to her just a easy. Its just lawls. that E LMB combo just melts.

ontop of ulti that Heals and dpses at once. the value is just huge.

17

Ana also cant crit. If you duel an Ana, you can be sure that she has to hit you at least 3 times if you dont get any heals.
Illary crits you once and youre directly in range to be dead with the next shot.

18

illari has a 1 sec delay per shot that hinders her.

Misses add 2 seconds total – one for the miss and one for the charge. Ana just spams the lmb.

19

Doesn’t the charge rate interfere with that? Illari at best deals 112 on a crit, Ana deals 140 with just two shots plus has sleep which permits more room to just nullify and erase any opposing player. If Illari misses the downtime is crucial when fighting any hero with a faster TTK

lets not forget her NADE
the infamous nade combo with Sleep auto.
