"But she has pylon, so she's strong"

After playing Doctrine, I simply don't see any clear reasons that would justify picking Illari over him. Doctrine just does everything better; he doesn't have the glaring weaknesses Illari does, yet he provides more consistent healing and greater utility. You can argue endlessly that she’s incredibly strong with her pylon, but let’s be honest: nobody wants to play Illari right now. On top of that, she received an indirect nerf. She has the second-largest head hitbox (sharing this place with Ana) among all supports and the fourth-largest torso hitbox. While head hitbox volumes for all supports were increased to 16-17, Illari went up to 18. And her torso hitbox is larger than Wuyangs. Like, WTF? That's crazy! In short, compared to other supports, she has become an easier target to hit. So It feels like another (little) reason to avoid her

Currently, I don't want play Illari in any cost

Gosh, damn those nerfs hit her so much. But only what devs should to do is simply nerf hitscan hitbox and probably pylon, why almost all of her kit got so crazy nerfs?

Playing her now in PC pool like kinda some of sort masochism. You need perfect aim, critshots because your basic damage is lowest in hitscan class. You need good positioning because her mobility is one worst in support roster, you additional game/positioning sense because you need care about pylon in all cost, because without pylon nothing you can do to really heal/save allies. And you need perfect game sense just to use your ultimate, because Captive sun is easiest ultimate in the game to counter. Gosh damn, I was shocked when enemy Bastion just walked around under Captive Sun effect/explosion and outhealed it simply using own self-repair. This ult even easily outhealable.

It always feels to me like absolutely no reason to play Illari with so much efforts, when I can take other support, chill and give value with less effort. And in previous half-season I saw how her pickrate was literally worst between all supps. Nobody except us even want play Illari, at least on pc. And new upcoming support – Doctrine. Seems just better than Illari, well, as usual. Better ult, utility, better mobility, viable heal. After 2 years playing overwatch and maining Illari too, I'm so tired of her. She becomes playable hero once per 2 years then she gets hit by nerf hammer for decades. And I'm very sad that all her personality keeps around pylon. It isn't surprise, developers nerfs all her set, except pylon. Mostly people become complain Illari due to pylon, not due to her own set. Seems like it's so hard for developers to figure out that issue is her clunky turret what takes too much power from her power budget. Not the beam, not the outburst, not the perks...

You can imagine how I disappointed after 2 years. After season one, I thought devs can balance her without breaking, finally, she will not be worst support. But, she is it again.

Insane diff between gameplay and lore power feeling

*explosion*

Jokes aside, I don't like how Blizzard is balancing her. They are simply balancing her whole set around pylon instead of balancing pylon around her set.

Subjective opinion about Tank Configuration in community crafted

unluckely, I had no chance to feel bastion completely, thanks to endless losestreaks, so I played other heroes in community mode

but my opinion about this, without oneshot it feels clunky. One second fire rate especially without repair sometimes is so risky. Heroes now more mobile than in classic event, projectile speed is too low to catch them, so without oneshot it lesser useful

So I think better would be return oneshot with repair as basic kit keep low mobility and decrease ultimate duration to 6 seconds. Like not 205 dmg but 255

All differences between old tank and new tank:

  • no longer oneshots non-tank heroes -
  • heroes now more mobile -
  • self-repair unavailable until perk 3 level -
  • global heal reduction passive, hurts self-repair -
  • perk 2 level grants 75 overhealth +
  • perk 3 level increases movement speed +

Everybody says Community crafted is fun. Well, It seems someone has to be the victim so the others can have fun.

34 matches in general, 31 loses, 3 wins.

You can say "why just not stopped or playing other modes". Nonestly I gave up already after 7th lose. No, it wasn't throwing, I just stopped trying hard, did only basics and chilling, shortly saying played like my previous teammates. If they allowed to this in my team, why I can't? I just wanted to learn how much long those losestreaks could be. Well, seems like it has no end.

Before I had 6 loses in row in competetive mode, one hard win. I thought that community would be fun, but you see. I tried hard, really, I took so much efforts in comp to prevent this losestreak but all my attempts (support role) were pointless, thanks to allies who even don't know where they are. I tried be better, I waste around 10 minutes before game session in aim trainer, always joining FFA while waiting in queue to improve duel skills, but anyway, it was also pointless. Loses inevitable.

I know, that is okay having losestreaks, but I don't think that is okay to have it every week. I’m busting my gut to regain the old rank I lost during a single day of lose streaks, and the moment I do, it all happens again. I don't know why you people always interesting about rank, I know this question will come, but here it: plat-diamond. Losestreak throw me down to plat rank and then you know.

I'm just surprised that game even don't let me win in arcade mode?! What I did so? Didn't bought kiriko skin or what the crime?

And I know you guys like spamming "skill issue" or "if you're really good you can win all matches". Well, this is refutation. As I said, I eventually gave up. The game tried to give me good teammates (not often still, huh), but it was too late, I just didn't care anymore that was something to think about earlier. Anyway, even with very good DPS, we didn't win because I was just doing the my minimum and playing casually (after all, why shouldn't I allow myself to do that—just like my previous teammates did—after all the effort I’d put in?). Even good DPS couldn't win when the team was playing carelessly. So just stop lying

About "take a break" suggests, for stop tilting, relaxing and cleaning match making algorithms. Earlier I took break for one week before predicted losestreak, and losestreak continued after week. When I asked it I got answer like this: "well, you unplayed whole week, you're out of shape and relaxed". Seriously guys? Whatever I do It is always my fault. I mean why I always should carry worst teammates in my back, why at once I can't play like them and win?

It's kinda hypocritical

Do you remember the previous month, where she got nerf every patch only because her winrate was higher higher >51%? On OW official forum players also were voiting for her in the next patch with only one reason like the "high winrate" (mostly kiriko mainers, ironically, isn't?). Despice the fact her pickrate had average values and banrate (except Asia server) was one of lowest still.

​

Now, I see that Zenny, AquaMan and Mizuki recently also have a 53% winrate percentage, but Zen didn't get any nerf since last 2-3 month, also as Wuyang. These guys had a solid banrate, while Illari even didn't have closer values. Forums may be indignant, but the final decision is up to the developers. And they decided nerf Illari over and over only because of her winrate. No zen, no Wuyang, no one else. It is not fair. It is hypocritical.
