You can have the mythic, I’ll take the billion dollars.
I don’t think they give enough of a crap about Illari

Also, as a small tip: take the money instead. With that, you can hire a good detective who will track down the responsible person, and then you just give them a few million to prioritize the skin and weapon.
Now you’ll have both a ton of money and the skin. Win-win for you ^^
The more popular the character, the more likely they will see a mythic weapon. At the end of the day, profit is the ultimate goal. No, I am not affiliated with Grand Nagus Bobby K.
Illari is pretty good, though. She’s naturally going to see less play when poke isn’t being played.
Black Cat Illari begs to differ! 
Dont worry Toph, this is the Year for Illari to shine! (maybe!)

And unfortunately (or fortunately depending on who you ask) poke has been pretty much dead at least as far as meta (i.e.; the players actually good on illari) goes for almost a year.

Apparently, “everybody loves dive”.
I do hear people like killing things.
When poke (usually with sigma) is meta things just kinda don’t die and the game becomes mostly about not making mistakes rather than making plays which people find boring even though I enjoy it.
I kinda get it, but illari suffers as a result of basically only being played in that comp pretty much. S9, raid boss tanks and especially Junos introduction just kinda makes it unplayable though. The game Is just too fast. Hazard really doesn’t help illari either since he just annihilates her lol

This is very much related. Because Sigma is obscenely tanky (like every other tank), it means it significantly reduces his need for high barrier uptime. You can save it for large bursts of damage, and important cooldowns — meaning that in a more coordinated setting where people can play around his barrier usage, plus having just enough HP to survive a few shots if they act late, things won’t die as much.
I can see why people don’t want a Sigma meta, considering the current state of the ecosystem.
All this leads up to my point:
Everything has too much HP. S9 was a mistake. The Kaiju Patch was a mistake.
These changes must be reverted for the health of the game.
Well, I meant more sigma has lost value because every tank is so tanky. Before sigma would see more play just because he could live more than basically any other tank while doing a lot of damage.
But now every tank is basically just as tanky as sigma so why would you play him.
And with Juno speed tanks just have an easier time close the gap or running into the sigma teams backline and ignoring sigma himself
Altogether it has just kinda killed poke. Not like entirely but it’s definitely made it worse; heroes like illari and sigma are just so slow by comparison since overwatch is more about concentrated bursts of pressure to overcome the extra HP and how durable tanks can be. Poke is just less meaningful
And some people prefer that because at least you can get active instead of just waiting around for the widow to hit a headshot, but if that’s the direction the game wants to go in then heroes like sigma and illari need to be changed since they just don’t really make as much sense anymore.
Personally, I kinda like s9, but between that and tank buff patch it’s just kinda killed my interest in playing sigma, so I do sympathize with illari enjoyers.
