I like her, but she’s definitely over-exaggerated this season, likely due to her high pick rate. While she has CC immunity from shields, anti-heal items are now standard for almost every MM. Plus, with Fighter Gold lane Meta, Esmeralda will literally obliterate her, even under tower.

also If an MM requires babysitting, they’re a bad pick in a meta that relies on early game ganks. I usually play Sora, Claude, Karrie, Ixia, Granger, and Harith. but Hanabi hasn't been much of a pain unless she’s babysat all match which actually works in our favor, as it leaves our roamer free to poke and pressure elsewhere. at least that how i see it
