OMG just stop the crying

Both playing with and against her all day - I had originally thought she was OP. But now I’m seeing things can go either way.

That said, I completely agree with this one point. Her CC is a bit much, and I think removing the bubble (while still knocking upwards), is completely enough to make the skill useful but not tip her into the overly unbalanced territory. Perhaps a helix augment could instead trigger the bubble at the expense of cooldown or perhaps a percentage of its healing.

It doesn’t heal.

You have to spec it to heal.

None of her cooldowns heal unless you spec them to.

She can self heal, no augment required.

I disagree on the bubble being too strong. Plus, it’s the first Bind move in the game. Being the first, it’ll seem strong. There will be more though. I would like bind to behave more like a root, less like a stun. Enable non movement related abilities and attacks in the bubble, and maybe we all can agree on its strength. Maybe. I kinda like it though. Plus, it’s a two second delay. Essentially, it’s a no damage shadowfire pillar.
But that’s just my opinion.

Then all youd be doing is giving the enemy a free sniper post.

Bad idea. A cc needs to take an enemy out of the action or its not a cc.

Shes in a good place as is

I agree that she’s good. But if she has to be changed, these are my opinions. And it’s not a sniper post to a Rath :stuck_out_tongue:
Slow is cc, but doesn’t take them out of action. That’s an inaccurate description. A root is still cc, just not the same as a knock back, stun, or silence.

i actually made a video and timed it. i am just waiting to find a way to download it on here. it is as one second as the dmg reduction is 100 pct. they are both wrong. it was close to 3 seconds.

Referring to the bubble delay, the amount of time held, or something else entirely? Also what does pct mean, per count or…?

It is kind of odd, how she can be an okay healer (compared to Miko) or a cc gal. I mean when she heals she heals well but it is slow going until farther helix choices. Jack of all trades, Master of none. I had a game where this one guy send me a message twice screaming at me to heal. 1. With the battle going on it was hard getting stacks up quickly with everyone else killing everything. 2. Who has time to type out a message no matter how quick?

Gotta love the ragers. Also, phone app, they can do it really quickly with that

Healing with her in PvP is hard i found mostly because everyones running willy nilly and without any kind of HUD to see player health it can be difficult. Also since she needs time to charge a full heal its not as easy as miko-beam everything you can see.

Why is it when a character has a stun or CC people cry OP…

Because they haven’t figured out how to counter / they are casual non moba players. It happens :stuck_out_tongue: and I totally agree on the difficult to heal. I was in a party and they kept not telling me when to heal. I couldn’t tell, we were each 1v1 in the same lane, so I didn’t notice them dying. No mic matches must be horrible…
Sidenote, did you know she can heal shepherd minions? :slight_smile: shhh, it’s a secret!

I do that to the shepards with Miko sometimes, it’s hilarious.

I didn’t know he could! You’re my hero, I need to tell the girlfriend that. Keeping them alive long enough to pop a second os is a very viable strat in meltdown in a 2v2 :slight_smile:

From the start of the animation that lifts you up until you are finally released and land? No, not one second. I think you hold in the air for one second but there is a good second of animation at least in the time it takes to lift you up as well which, for a melee character especially, might as well just be a stun.

The move itself isn’t necessarily any worse than any other knockup/stun in the game but it elevates a target and HOLDS them there for everyone on your team to get clean hits off, unlike a traditional stun where your target might be obscured to your teammates or knockups that lift and drop a target quickly not giving a huge window to unload on.

I don’t think shes OP, hell I didn’t even see her at all in most of my PvP games last night and the times I did have one on our team we only won once I think.

referring to the time you are unable to move, yet able to be damaged. it is 3 seconds. the longest stun in the game. i was talking about the fact that it says in the description that she gives 100 percent dmg reduction, but it is a typo. just like it says that she binds for one second, and that is also incorrect

No it isn’t incorrect. Bind refers to the bubble, which lasts for a single second.

The skill does say it both knocks up and binds.

And for the record there are many characters that can cc you for that long.

Seems to me you guys just arent reading it correctly or you don’t know how long a second is.

A second is palpable.
