First thing i am going to say that i didn’t want to swap to a different hero mid-match or after losing a round, i was forcing her on purpose and in majority of the matches i felt like i was the main issue, i felt like i was the weak link of the team and i also lost majority of the matches i am going to try to explain what i think her main issues are.

- Unjustified nerf. None of the nerfs she got, losing 10% healing without the compensation and noticeably longer CD on TP were deserved and justified. Especially when she got them! Pay attention to what i said because her getting nerfed like this at the start of the season 9 is very important.

- She basically has no team-up. In a game, where team-ups are base kits now and where so many heroes have some godly options and such a good team-up that are must pick, Ami feels like she genuinely has no team-ups at all.

- Her “selling point” and reason to pick her is not viable anymore. She used to have her niche, anti-dive Support that was able to peel for herself and for other Support. Support that was able to defend herself and win in 1v1 situations is not able to do it anymore because she is in a clear disadvantage.

- Bad healing and total lack of burst healing. In a game with such high damage numbers and very, very short TTK, Ami has among the lowest healing. She has no burst healing option and is clearly lacking to sustain the team and be a valuable Support in a two Support comps. She is not a good 3rd Support option too because of point number 5:

- Lack of damage. This is the final reason why i think she is not viable. Her damage is overall very low and she doesn’t have any kind of burst damage. She can’t headshot and she is limited with her range. Bouncing her orb is a good way to finish off very low health squishy enemies but like i said, the damage in general and especially when bouncing is very low.

Overall i think that she is in a terrible spot, she is a bottom two Support and i think that her S9.5 Ult buff was very tone deaf and wrong. Her neutral is totally lacking and she still had one of the worst Ults in the game. That thing gets countered by pretty much anything.
For now, i am dropping Ami, but not because i am playing strong or “meta” heroes only but because i believe that they totally killed her hero fantasy, that they destroyed her niche and any reason to pick her and play her. What’s the actual reason behind this is still a mystery and very unclear to me.

Had to repost because when i tried to edit, the post got totally messed up for some reason.

That leak aside, what would you personally like her first Legendary skin to be? She is 99% getting a Legendary skin next season so would y’all like some kind of original design or something comic accurate? Do y’all think that she is getting a Summer/swimsuit skin next year?

To me they just sound like some random noise and i simply can’t get used to this mess after using Twisted Conjurer exclusively. Skin that has such a good and clean SFX. Going from Twisted Conjurer to this makes my brain hurt, i am simply not able to tell when someone gets stunned by the orb, the primary and secondary audio effects are so bad too. I am really not sure what were they thinking. The skin is overall nice, even tho. the skirt looks and animates kinda weird from the back, i think that it should’ve been a bit shorter but the SFX are atrocious.

Can someone at least try to explain this phenomenon please?? It's confusing me because statistically neither of the two is overperforming in any way. Both Luna and C&D don't even have positive win-rates across all the ranks, they are not doing good in low ranks, they are not doing good in high ranks. What exactly makes both C&D and Luna targets of this bandwagon hate and constant complaining about them being "OP" and that they should be nerfed??

I literally can’t believe my eyes reading the patch notes. They didn’t even lower the CD on BC team-up at all. How can they think that Ult buff is all this hero needs?? Especially after saying that they will react quickly with the hotfixes and that we waited one month for this??

Got it for cheap, but i wouldn’t recommend this to my biggest enemy. I heard some good things about Attack Shark online and my friend told me that they have good mouses that are not expensive so i fell for it.

Everything was fine for like two weeks, mouse worked ok on wireless connection and then the scroll wheel started acting up. It would lag, or something like hold a scroll in queue and move up and down randomly as i move the mouse instead of scrolling when i am moving the wheel. I said ok, i’ll just go back to old, reliable USB connection, the scroll lag issue was gone but now the mouse sensor is making high pitched buzzing noise (coil whine) when being moved around. If i lift up the mouse and hold it in my hand there is no noise, as i place my finger on the sensor or put the mouse down, sensor starts buzzing with every movement. Is it ok to use this mouse with the sensor buzzing or can something bad happen to my PC hardware? Also left click started drifting literally after two weeks of use and there is a lot of crackling on the left side of the mouse.

I know that this is a Chinese non-expensive mouse, but after hearing a lot of good things, i wasn’t expecting it to be THIS bad.

Can you guys recommend something that is not so expensive but that is not of this horribly cheap quality all around? I am a casual gamer and was using Deathadder Essential before this and was quite happy with it. I heard some things about ATK/VXE mouses and that they are very good for the money? Should i try with them or just get something more expensive from the well known brands? Any recommendations up to $50 please? Thanks!

Dev vision and balance patch notes are being released today and i am just hoping she gets a base kit buffs and not just her team-up.
I would love if she made her fade longer like it used to be, or if she was able to move faster in it and also some healing during it in the base kit with Jubilee team-up making the healing higher.
I really hope that they are actual buffs and not another meh buff with compensation nerf.

We all know that since S9 few weeks ago she is in a really bad spot. She lost 10% of her overall healing with no compensation at all, her TP went from 12s to 15s, both her team-ups are really, really underwhelming, especially compared to what some other heroes got. Her pick-rates that went down so much and especially her win-rates paint a clear picture of how bad she is and how powercrept she is. She is not able to defend herself from dive anymore and is forced to leave most of the 1v1s. Her Ult is still terrible…

She is going to need a lot of changes to be meta and viable again but i think that they should start with increasing her overall healing by 10-15%, increasing her primary projectile speed, giving her some kind of CC reduction or displacement immunity in Ult and changing/reworking her team-ups.

Jubilee team-up is an easy fix and a perfect example of ability/utility that should’ve been base kit! I’ve been saying from the start that she needs some healing burst when using her fade and her being able to detonate the orb weakening enemies makes so much sense and both utilities should be base kit with her getting a different team-up.
S9 with all the power creep across all 3 roles and especially DPS, perfectly exposed how weak and unviable she is. If she doesn’t get some buffs in mid-season they have no vision for this hero at all.

And no, this isn’t a “skill issue”, it’s about the power creep they created and your teammates constantly having high expectations from you while not wanting to have any responsibility at all.
I can heal for 30k or more in a fairly short match, save so many, Ult perfectly to counter other Ults… and i will still get toxicity and i will still be blamed for the loss. Everyone has so high expectations from you, but there’s no peel at all and only one good BP or BC for example is enough to make your life miserable and to make you question your decision to pick a Support.
The power creep of S9 is just too much to deal with and many times the only thing i can do i swap to C&D and at least have some survivability and chance to win vs. dive or make them waste their cooldowns and retreat for some time. All the Supports i am playing are noticeably less fun this season and i would be fine with this if all the roles were properly balanced or if the DPS/Tanks that expect you to keep them alive 24/7 would at least try to help you when it comes to staying alive and surviving.
It’s not me crying, i am ok with adapting and trying my best, it can make the experience more fun and make me learn more but it’s really discouraging when you try your best, when you give it all and stats clearly show it but you still get called “noob”, “braindead”, “bot”… etc.

Main reason is probably Jubilee being added to the game and 2nd is them wanting to reduce her pick-rates in general after they sold her Summer skin. It’s actually incredible how bad she is and there’s no way they are not seeing this. She simply doesn’t work in majority of the comps at all. There are no reasons to pick her in 3 Supp comps because Mantis, Ultron and Adam now do her healing numbers or even better than her while offering much better damage/utility. And there are no reasons to pick her in two Supp comps because she simply doesn’t work, can’t sustain anything and can’t keep up with all the damage increase that got added to the game. So she is in this limbo of just not offering any value and any reason to pick her. Bad neutral and terrible Ult.
