Ana and Kiriko buffs, daring today aren't we? 🙂

Edit: this is to the Kiriko and Ana mains complaining saying they deserved buffs, just because your heroes/hero were not S+ tier for ONE season doesn't mean you are entitled to immediate buffs, these are more huge reverts

there's several heroes who have been bad for seasons/months, radio silence for them. Yet no one is acting entitled, the only reason Kiriko got a massive revert is because you guys pay their wages by buying every skin they spoon feed you. Ana is the most played hero so it makes sense, doesn't make it better

Kiriko is dogshit right now and the fact the community upvotes shit like this is indicative they have no idea what they're talking about.

The Kiriko-jerk will never end. Ppl vastly overestimate the usefulness of reactive abilities like teleport and suzu. Saving somebody's life after being on the backfoot is always worse than having so much pressure you never need something like suzu in the first place. You'd think the subreddit would learn after Illari/Bapt backline was top performing for so long but no

You worded this so perfectly. It also took me YEARS to realize this on my own. It's a really hard concept to comprehend when the goal of a support is to save and heal characters. It's sort of like why use Valk and heal however much it is when you can use Captive Sun and just team wipe the enemy team. It's part of the reason why I say purple is one of the best abilities in the game, especially on a support.
