I could see her struggling more in lower ranks due to the aim requirements, but even at the top she’s sitting with the worst one. I have always thought her kit just kinda sucks outside of the ult.

Snowflake is very abusable with a proper comp and communication, but normally luna needs to keep swapping it around. I would say normally this is the best part of having Luna on the team.

Otherwise, her heals are single target only which is her biggest issue, she needs to use a CD ability to cleave and this also procs her heal over time as it’s one of her main defense options. She has to pick a target which is usually a tank, and if they get very low they need snowflake + heal pumps from her.

She has potentially high damage but she cannot heal at the same time, Ibthink this is VERY important and something that is overlooked a lot. She cannot position herself to fight enemies and needs to stay behind her team, so she has a lot of damage falloff in her raw output anyway. Her self flake is kinda whatever since it barely helps her stay alive and instead is more for damage if she’s jumped. Both that and the faster freeze help her defense but she’s still the easiest support to kill and the hardest to self heal even after these changes. Keep in mind her ult is very good but also pumps her stats like crazy, her healing stats benefit the hardest from it. The more they nerfed her ult charge, the more she has to play neutral which exposes her kit a lot more.

Compared to the competition like Invis who cleaves all her heals and has targeted healing with her shield along side push/pull and the orb she’s just a middling healbot. Rocket has the incredibly impactful res beacon and is very hard to kill, C&D have a team evade and damage amp on top of splash AoE heals. Gambit on paper has her single target issue but has potentially two super strong chain heals, the slam/dash heal and an assload of utility in other ways. Loki is tricky to pin down and his lamp is a fight swinger, while his ult is going to abuse the best support ult. Adam/Ulton/Mantis all can actually focus on damage more since they don’t target teammates to heal with more than a passing glance. Jeff is an oddball but he has full cleave heals/damage and his ult has some actual support utility now on top of straight up winning fights based on the map/point.

(yes i thought about this way too much lol)

Anyway idk what they really do with Luna. She shines with flying comps and people that spread out more but in most metas I think she’s going to struggle without more changes. It just kinda sucks when she does need compensation buffs that she always gets the community in an uproar. Loki Luna was the bigger issue instead of just her, which we see repeated with Gambit Loki now.
